    Muppet or Man?

    ------------------------ Last night, although the entire song of "Man or Muppet" had me laughing (especially the cameo for Walter as a man), the song stuck in my head and I've been pondering it since, even in my sleep. Walter is of course Us, and beautifully done; I'm betting, given what little...

    Bringing you the Truth...

    ----------------------------- “Bringing you the truth in a world gone Max.” Does anyone else here recall that tagline? It’s on a magazine ad I still have, for the long-gone show Max Headroom. And while most people who recall the show at all only remember the wisecracking, Pepsi-hawking...

    Anyone actually seen the new Muppet kids books?

    ---------------------------- ...because I have looked all over town and NO ONE seems to be carrying them.
