    The Bible and Love and Christians

    Sadly, it's a very very common thing to hear black male celebrities(be they actors, athletes or musicians) viciously attack gays and the gay community. I think it's more to do with the notion that gay=less than a full man; and unfortunately some aspects of black male culture(just like white...

    Threadless Muppet T-Shirt Design Challenge

    I have a feeling the wallet photo one might win. I think what will probably win is NOT parody stuff but more simple/unique

    TIME.com Exclusive: On the Set of the New Muppets Movie

    The thing with Eric is, simply on a sound/performance level I find him the closest to his respective replacement characters than anyone else(as much as I love Whitmire's Kermit) I don't for a second stop and think "oh, wait, that's not Frank Oz playing him". We've had a revolving door on some...

    Will there be a big Muppet gathering this year?

    Right, that's why I was saying just a planned meet up in various cities. Every time a muppet film fest/performer q and a happens in a city, Im surprised there isnt an effort to have a fan gathering backeast or elsewhere.

    None Like it Hot: The "I Hate the Heat" Club

    Wait, I thought it was "climate change" instead of global warming now, some even say global cooling. Not sure what to know anymore, other than the earth seems to be going through some crazy waves.

    None Like it Hot: The "I Hate the Heat" Club

    It's been freezing and raining here in Sacramento/Northern California until this morning. Now it's starting to warm up and look like a normal June...its usually hot as heck here by early may, so no idea whats been the story lately.

    Will there be a big Muppet gathering this year?

    Well thats why I was saying it should piggy back on an event already going on. Like D23, or those screening events where performers show up with their signature muppet. Noone ever talks about organizing fan gatherings in various cities, yet there are continually these Muppet related...

    Big news for Pajanimals fans

    JHC has found its place working as effects/animatronics for movies as well as doing supplemental and ongoing cgi kids series. I wish them luck, and Im glad they at least toss us a bone here and there with the Henson Alternative stuff. But there really is very little connecting them to the Muppet...

    The Bible and Love and Christians

    I could list a thousand serious war crimes the state of Israel has committed from the 1950's. Doesn't mean I dislike Israelis, I often criticize all governments...the oppressive Islamic regimes of Saudi Arabia, Iran, etc. The tyranical policies of communist China. I believe all governments who...

    The Bible and Love and Christians

    Well my personal feelings are that the WBC should be kept far away from funerals, but in principle I believe their speech should be protected. Maybe it serves a dialogue, even though I know some use their insanity to try and paint Christians as intolerant. If anything, maybe it serves to bring...

    The Bible and Love and Christians

    Why is it, when Democrats get caught in a sex scandal, it's an extra marital affair with a woman...yet when so called "Christian" Republicans(who virulently oppose gay rights on capitol hill) get caught in sex scandals...its with another man?(often, not even of legal age) That is the highly...

    The Bible and Love and Christians

    See, it's only terrorism when darker skinned people with "funny names" stap bombs to their chests or ram a car with explosives. But if youre white and drop massive bombs and artillery from the sky, it's "spreading democracy". I've intimately researched for over a decade the horror and evil the...

    MC get-together event?

    Attempts to get any sort of fan get togethers over the years have been pretty moot. When it was announced most of the Sunday of the D23 Disney Anaheim expo was to be devoted to all thing Muppets, hardly anyone seemed interested in an official/unofficial fan thing. In 2007 myself and a bunch of...

    I won't be posting anymore...

    Trippy running into people here my age. Most forums Im on, everyone seems 17-23. Though most often, people in real life mistake me for being in my early 20's. Instigating conversation can be good though. I begin my stint commanding two hours of a prime time college radio broadcast next saturday...

    Been here 13 years, yet strangely or not its still small...I guess its good a lot of people have the enthusiasm/writing of 15 year olds, which isnt bad. I just remember when MC was a more mature older crowd, but I guess a lot of them jumped ship or don't post anymore. I miss Luke and other vet...

    Your Thoughts: New Muppet Central Forum Features

    Yeah I'm getting used to it, just the formatting/odd size/colors are throwing me off. I really hope people haven't jumped ship just yet, Im sure Phil had his reasons for this one. Maybe it was more easy to code/integrate with fb/twitter/etc than other options
