Nice blog, heralde, very well written! And about the gym and the bicep: well, you remember that one magazine article that had Richard describing how he'd go shoot left-handed baskets after a day on the set. Plus, there's what we said about Del needing a good bit of upper arm strength to pick...

What's this? David Rudman's going to play Scooter? You know, that's really appropriate, seeing as David was Richard's best friend/adopted little brother/right-hand man/mountain-climbing buddy. Plus, someone wrote in one of the articles on Richard's tribute page - I think it was D.W. McKim -...

Well spoken, Jim, very well spoken. We certainly don't see enough of Scooter these days on some of the more current Muppet projects. And it's true; Scooter does appear to be the sweet, mild-mannered young gofer, but he does have his edgier side - when he's channeling Kermit during certain TMS...

Beige: (snoring on sofa) Huh? What's this about someone doing the hula? Scooter: It's okay, Beige, go back to sleep. Nora: Wait, in that one Rocky and Bullwinkle episode, how did that one Oogle Bird fortune go? Erin: Let's see..."If you want to make lots of moolah, start making hoops that...

Yeah, let's face it, the RHLC's probably created enough muffins to stock a bakery or a tea room. (not to mention the occasional pie fight...) And it's true; even if the Muppet performers don't physically resemble their characters, it's not hard to see elements of their characters in them...

(In room 7, the gang sits in a circle for another, if somewhat more somber, musical moment.) (Erin starts playing guitar.) Scooter: Where have all the flowers gone... All: Long time passing... Scooter: Where have all the flowers gone... All: Long time ago... Scooter: Where have all the...

Wow, that took a lot of lung power! "and Elton J., he wasn't bad...and Edgar B. - he's Charlie's dad." But it was really clever how they managed to work in all the names - and they've gotten a lot of mileage out of "Very Model of a Modern Major-General." That said - breathe, Scooter, breathe...

Beige: Not only that, they're dead depressing. Storyteller: There will be a moment of silence for that joke that just died. (moment of silence) Scooter: Your turn, Erin. Erin: Okay...(rolls dice) Mrs. Peacock, in the lounge, with the knife. Nora: I've got the knife and Mrs. Peacock.

(In room 7, a pot of stew is bubbling on the stove, two loaves of bread are cooling on the counter, David Benoit is playing on the stereo and the five tenants are goofing off one way or another.) Storyteller: (looking out window, while transcribing some old epic) Hmm...that's an awful storm...

Let's see...Scooter probably wished that the Singing Food would veg out a little bit, but the luggage wasn't a load of crock (or croc), the mountains rocked everyone's world, and after the ceremony, Billy was loaded for bear with some of those jokes...okay, enough of the bad puns. ;) What I...

Storyteller: (setting up hut) So how's everything going? Scooter: Well, room's kind of a mess at the moment... Beige: Yeah, and the World's Oldest Fraggle was just mildly stern. Nora: But here's what we're hoping the room's going to look like. Erin: Once everything's been cleared away and...

And let's face it: for kids in the 70s, let alone today, barbershop quartet would be ancient history. I'm willing to bet that Richard was one of the three puppets in that number; wonder who the other two were?

I have a bad fear of heights; in the student union building at my university, I couldn't look down from the second or third-floor balconies without getting a wicked case of the whirlies. And then there's the time we climbed the tower at York Minster when we were in England a few years ago: add...

Duly received, Ed, and thanks a bunch. And I'll come up with an answer to the question you asked me about this latest haunter. And I'd say right about now, our favorite puppet-wielding angels have a case of sugar shock from those limes in the coconut.

(in room 7) Beige: (singing, and unpacking rock fountain) Be it ever so humble, there's no place like...whoa! Did you see that blue van go careening past? Storyteller: (sorting through box of linens) No, I just heard the brakes. Scooter, can you unpack that box of kitchen utensils as soon as...

(A procession of two bicycles, a motor scooter and a rickshaw comes up the street toward the dorms, laden down with furniture, personal effects and miscellaneous stuff. Nora and Scooter are on the bikes, Erin rides the motor scooter and Beige and Storyteller are perched atop the pile in the...

Right on; The Honk of Honks is one of the best FR episodes, since it's got the emotional complexity you usually don't see in children's shows. That's true, heralde - Richard was taking on a number of directing jobs in the late 1980s, so it is very likely that he was in training to direct a...

Happy birthday...no, is it many happy returns? No, maybe it's happy birthday...no, that sounds a little pedestrian...but many happy returns sounds too formal...:coy: Okay, you get my drift; happy (wembling) birthday, Steve! :)

Case in point: when Amanda was in the third grade, Richard stopped by her school one day, puppets in tow, and put on a show for the whole school in the auditorium. As I recall, she said, "Boy, was I popular that day!" Richard performed with, and in front of, a lot of famous people in his life...

Hiya, Sara, nice to see ya back. As you can see, we've been keeping the flow of Richard-related topics running pretty well. Sounds like you've got quite a bit on your plate these days...then again, who doesn't? Take care of yourself, okay?
