I just picked up my copy of "The War Within," by Bob Woodward. Since I'm a reporter, Woodward's books are pretty much required reading for me. When I went to the bookstore to pick it up, I also bought an anthology of short stories called "Telling Tales;" the proceeds from that one go to...

(somewhere across town) Storyteller: (singing) But I dillied, and I dallied... Scooter: (midway through changing guitar chords) Hold that thought - the reporter's back. Beige: Hey, lady, where've you been? Erin: Cut me some slack, man, I had a headache for part of the day. Nora: Ugh...so...

Time to bump the thread up again... I also didn't pick up on Nicky's title of "Irresponsible Parasite" at first, but when I watched the movie again much later I had a good smirk about it. I dreamed last night that I was looking at a photo taken on the set of some Muppet production or other...

Yeah - in some cases it just takes a while to be able to pick up on certain things. There are a number of things in GMC that went straight over my head when I was a young kid - one was the line in "Happiness Hotel" that went "still the management is cheerful, though the whole joint's gone to..."...

Oh, was this "Proud to be a Cow?" Additional proof that Richard's not at all shy about hogging the spotlight...plus, he really gets to show off his operatic chops. I also wonder how many people picked up on the reference to "The Merchant of Venice?"

That's right; we Catholics believe that during the Eucharist, the bread and wine become the body and blood, and by partaking of them, we partake of the spirit of Christ. As for the Bible readings, they are important to us as well, for the readings and the homily, but the focal point in the Mass...

Oh, yeah, the Gravesytes are definitely a nod to the Addams family, and maybe the Munsters as well. Non Sequitur's a fairly recent strip, with a really cynical take on life, politics and the world. But it once did a story arc called "The Adventures of Ordinary Basil," which was about a boy who...

That said, I hope all the forum members who live down on the Gulf Coast are okay - I heard on the news that Gustav's made landfall.

I don't think I ever saw "The Addams Family." Not in full, anyway. But in the comic strip "Non Sequitur," there was a family called the Gravesytes; the dad looked like a stockbroker, but he carried his head around on a plate, the mom was some kind of weightless wraith (a former fashion model...

That's cool, heralde - what kind of project are you doing? Yeah, Richard likes to do the tough-guy persona; guess it's to counterbalance his past as a paper boy and Boy Scout. ;) But we all know that he was a good kid who grew up into a soft-hearted man. It's just a lot cooler to play the...

Slightly different subject, but same general topic: On an episode of "Law and Order," there was this really good line. Officer: ...when this guy comes driving through like a bat out of H-E-double hockey sticks. Det. Lennie Briscoe: What precinct are you from, Sesame Street?

Yeah, I saw that one last night - I think it was when I was watching "Law and Order."

Right on - if you're not interested in the Muppets, you're in the wrong forum. In other news: Steve just announced that a future episode of MuppetCast is going to have an interview with Terry Angus. If that's the case, I hope he talks a little more about his first audition for Fraggle Rock -...

Oooh, sounds fascinating...could you get him to talk more about the audition? Terry: (with frog puppet and Kermit voice) Ah, excuse me, Mr. Hunt, but I don't think you should be using that tone of voice with people! Richard: Yeah, what are ya gonna do about it, frog? Terry: Oh! Well, I...that...

Yeah, well, we're all Muppet fans where I come from. When Mom and Dad bought their first video player, a Beta machine (remember those, those of us who were around in the early to mid '80s?), the first movie they taped with it was TMM. And yes, a lot of the stories in the tribute episode are...

Two Richard Hunt-related dreams in a row - well done, Snowball! Of course, since he's an angel he's got wings, and certainly wouldn't need earthly transportation...but that's just me being nitpicky and all that. But that was a really sweet exchange the two of you had. I've also had dreams...

I had a weird one, probably triggered by a viewing of TGMC. I dreamed that the Muppet performers were working on some bizarre new puppetry project. The whole thing took place in a large tank of water, with the Muppet swimming around on the surface. But for some reason, the Muppet performer had...

Same here; and it's also a lot of fun to know all about the people and the goings-on behind the scenes. I'd have probably been looking down at the performers too...but on the other hand, I do have trouble deciding whether to keep my eyes on the Muppet or the Muppeteer, when both are on the...

In a booth at House of the Rising Dim Sum, the gang is having dessert - cups of green tea ice cream, and chunks of fresh pineapple. Beige: (swallowing some ice cream) So what's your fortune cookie say? Scooter: (snapping open a cookie) Let's see...steer clear of angry pigs wearing pearls and...

There's something about the number seven - it's just got a certain ring to it. Just like three, nine and twelve. Here's something you guys will like: I'm on the AIDS Quilt project's e-mail list, and they sent me a slide show of photos from a big display they had earlier this summer in...
