    Bringing Back the Bells...

    Hey everyone, This is something I've been thinking about for a while, and if need be, one of the mods can move this thread if it doesn't belong in this category. Some of our long time members will recall that here at Muppet Central, we used to ring bells on Dec. 21 at a certain time, to...

    Swine Flu...

    Today I looked at the news and there were constant images of people wearing surgical masks. Looks like the pandemic is still spreading a little...but only a little (for now). Any MCers from Mexico out there? Hope you're all OK. Same goes for MCers (and Tough Pigs members) in other places...

    T-shirt questions...

    This may belong in another thread (mods can move it if you think it should be elsewhere). I have a t-shirt question. Where in the heck can I get either a good quality t-shirt with a big picture of Jim Henson or Mahna Mahna on it? I've looked around and thought by now there should be at least...

    Hey everyone, We all know about the LaChoy Dragon commercials...but other than one inflatable toy (a send-in offer from years ago), was there any other merchandise with Jim's La Choy Dragon? I found this. What do you guys think? No, it doesn't look like Dilbert (the Dragon), but still...
