    Who's your Role Model???

    Oh definately. Whenever someone asks me who one of my main heroes/inspirations/etc is I always put JH. As for "role models", I look up to the true heroes in life. I'm not religious, but His Holyness the 14th Dalai Lama I'd say is one of my main heroes. Just because he seems so warm...

    Have You Ever Been Made Fun Of For Being A Muppet Fan?

    Oh same here. Heck, I get excited when I meet someone who remembers "those two old guys", or Fraggle Rock...let alone someone who knows era specific Muppeteers, obscure trivia, production details, and erroneous Muppety facts^^ Ha, but see...now even the popular kids claim to be "geeks", as...

    Muppets/L.A. Times article

    Well a lot of young people of the newer generation sure liked that Weezer video the Muppets did in 2002, so as far as I see JHC was able to keep the Muppets hip and relevant. The fact ya havent even heard any rumors or vague hints at "good things in the future" for the Muppets from anyone, is...

    I'm no longer on MySpace

    Someone shoulda warned ya: myspace is the height of hedonism and all out stupidity on the internets^__^;; I mostly just have one as most my non local friends prefer to stay in touch that way...but yeah, I dare not venture out to the chats/forums/people I dont know's pages(that and it crashes...

    The Copyright Act & "Fair Use" Doctrine

    It's this giant fear of the RIAA or whatever, as well as this notion of keeping things "rare" that the Muppet community has no real sense of shared media community like every other community out there. When a Muppet has a tv appearence or commercial, there is no blog or forum or person that...

    MuppetFest: Discuss Original and Your Dreams

    Pretty much, JHC has gone out of their way in brochures, pamphlets, presentations, interviews, and mini film festivals to pretend Kermit and the Mupepts never even existed. So I can even blame Disney...its like JHC just wanted to go to extreme lengths for some bizarre reason. Heck, they...

    I THINK I've heard "Mahna Mahna" too much!

    I used to do that at work, as well as make other Muppety references. Only one person got that and my Doozer references. It's how you vet out the cool people^___^;;

    Muppet Central Couples

    I *melt* at the mere thought of geek girls. Geek girls *are* hot. I want a smart girl whose good at um, smart things. I have no money, so don't think those sort of money chasers would dig any of us financially challenged! Good, crushes a re good. Means you're not a robot. If there's a single...

    When Muppet Parents Have To Go Kill People

    Well, looks like Elmo's dad has to go kill some innocent Arabs for the government. Boy, I knew the fundamentalist conservatives and the RAND corporations(a defense/CIA company Sesame works with now) had really gotten to Sesame Street with threats of getting rid of PBS. First they make a big...

    The Non Muppet Art, Art Thread!

    I did this art piece last night...it's of Buren, the main bad guy of my comic, whose a giant animatronic head of 8th American president Martin van Buren. Yeah, I'm weird:) http://www.neoramen.com/gallery/buren.jpg Oh man, that is too rad...ESPECIALLY the Wembley/Bean/Rizzo picture...

    The Muppet Show Live!

    You mean like the one at Muppetfest? NOW THAT would be worth the $90 these broadway shows charge! It had always been a dream of Henson to do a broadway Muppet show with real Muppets.

    MuppetFest: Discuss Original and Your Dreams

    They might, but what I meant was getting BOTH JHC together with Disney. A JHCless Muppet gathering seems hollow.

    The Non Muppet Art, Art Thread!

    Why thank you! It wasnt always like that, in fact I'd say it wasnt really til a year ago I even liked my art/coloring style. Im trying to break into comics/animation/illustration professionally, so I've really focused on trying to have avery polished, slick style. I WISH I had the sort of...

    MuppetFest: Discuss Original and Your Dreams

    I agree, but beyond that, we would really have to have the participation of at least *some* folks deeply connected/involved with JHC, Sesame Workshop and the Muppets. A Muppet gathering without at least a couple of muppeteers/muppets wouldnt be the same. There'd also have to be a HUGE buzz to be...
