(Impersonating Grover from a distance) "Hello, everybodeeeeee!" (clomps noisily up from the horizon until his nose is about three inches from the screen) "THE GILDA'S CLUB EMAILED ME BACK!!!" "Ohhhhhh!" (faints with a crash) Yes, folks! I heard back from the Gilda's Club just this...

Hi, everybody. I'm making a Christmas present for my aunt and uncle. She's a Muppet fan, and he likes/raises chickens. So......I'm making them a Sculpey sculpture of Gonzo next to a replica of my uncle's henhouse. He (Gonzo) will be in a black tuxedo, awaiting Camilla. Would anyone...

Well, I still have not heard from the Gilda's Club Quad Cities for the official word on when the auction will be, although the date is supposedly on October 19 (according to the website). I had hoped by now that the website would have their picture of the Gilda statue and I up on their site...

Okay, I was out of the Muppet Central loop for over two years, and I heard way back when that Jerry Nelson was going to release a CD of his original songs. I read about it here at MC. Is this CD out yet? Is it going to be out? Please let me know! Convincing John

Hey, folks, I wanted to ask about a commercial I keep seeing. It's for Detrol, a medicine, and theres a little jingle that goes "Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go right now, gotta go, gotta go, gotta go!" I won't mention what the medicine is for, but the jingle makes it pretty obvious... Well...

Hi, everybody. Just wanted to let you know I won't be posting for a few days because I'll be busy with some major projects this week...primarily a huge test I have to take for grad school. It's one of those tests you take in order to be admitted into your major field of study in graduate...

Well, folks, it's time for yet another "Gilda Construction Story". Picture if you will, the garden and picnic table next to a garden (this is the same place from the "Okay, Rinse" story). At this point in time, all the pieces of the statue were still apart and unpainted. Well, I did this...

While I'm waiting for Kermit to come on, I thought I'd post this Big Bird dream I had a long time ago. I posted it before on the old Muppet Central, so some of you might remember it, but for those who missed it... Okay, I had just got the book "Sesame Street Unpaved" and at the time, I was...

Hey, everybody. Anyone believe in doing stuff for good luck? Well, you're welcome to try this one on for size. I read that Gilda Radner believed if you said "Bunny, Bunny" at the beginning of every month, you'd have good luck during the coming month. I suppose you could always tap your...

I wondered if anyone could help me with this... I've seen clips on Sesame Street with a guy in them who looked like Jim Henson. I know it was him juggling in the "Sing a Song of 3" clip (with the baker), but what I'm talking about is: A guy in snowshoes spells out ME in the snow with his...

I have recently listened to the SS clip "Lowercase n", (one of my favorite clips) and it sounds like Richard Hunt is singing it...well, to me, anyway. Is it Richard? I wondered if anyone knew... Also something else I noticed, in the older versions of SS during the closing credits (where...

Hi, everyone! I'm taking a class right now about children's books. For our final projects, we can write and illustrate a children's book of our own. For this project, I wondered, just as a piece of fan art, if it would be okay to make a children's book based on Jim's jazz number...

Hi, everybody! I am looking desperately for three old clips...especially one about Ernie and Grover. Ernie has a green machine with an opening in it. He puts in things like meatballs, noodles and a nest, and the letter M or N pops up from the top. Grover comes along, climbs into the...

Hi, everybody! I just got done watching my new Muppets Magic on the Ed Sullivan Show DVD...if you haven't gotten this yet, order it!!! It's GREAT!!! You'll have Floyd turning your TV set around and saying "His (or her) eyes are GLUED to the set! Ha ha ha ha ha!":sing: Anyway, as my eyes...

Hey, folks. Convincing John here. I was thinking about what a great year this has been for Muppet merchandise...especially the action figures! Ever since I was a kid, I wanted a 3D version of Zoot...FINALLY!!! Well, anyway, I think we can all agree on one thing...that businesses are...

Gather round, boys and girls. It's time for another "Gilda Construction Story". To get a better understanding of this story, remember the bird that called Wembley "Mama" and Gobo "Booboo"? Well, think of that scene where Wembley is feeding the bird all those different kinds of food, and no...

Hi. For those of you who read my previous posts about the Gilda Radner statue I built, and for you Bill Cosby fans out there, you're going to get a kick out of this. Well first, let me mention that while I took photographs of the statue in progress for Michael Radner, I also took videotape...

Hi, everybody. Convincing John here. I know some of you got to see the special "Gilda Radner's Greatest Moments" that aired a while back. I have the special taped, but I'm trying to find a copy of the made-for-TV rock opera "Jack: A Flash Fantasy" that was mentioned in the special. It's...

Hi, everybody. Convincing John here. I have a question for all you Muppet fans out there. Well, if you read my thread about a Gilda Radner statue to be auctioned off for charity, this post has something to do with that. If the auction is successful, other Gilda's Clubs across the country...

Hi, everybody, Convincing John, here. I've got a puppet-related question. Um, I'm planning to build a puppet sometime in the next year or so (combined with other projects) and I was toying with the idea of an eye mechanism. It's going to be a human puppet, (simple hand and rod) and I'm...
