Ah - congratulations to you, Sara. And I hope your foot's feeling better. Actually, Will, what I'm really feeling the weight of is school work and the prospect of the job hunt. The school paper's been on hiatus for a few weeks, so it's not the biggest source of tension headaches these days...

Storyteller: What in Fraggledom's name is Lefty up to now? Scooter: Oh, I don't know...probably terrorizing people with a rented bazooka. Beige: Bazookas...what ever happened to a good honest rock fight? Erin: These days, Beige, it's probably as popular as kissing a poison cackler. Nora...

Well, they say that the animated Fraggle Rock had a limited budget, and I imagine that the Muppet performers would have been a bit too expensive for them. And I also wonder if actors' unions had something to do with it.

Aw, no, TotallySpiesFan, did you really have to do that? :eek:

It does make a lot of sense - one would get the impression that Richard had something very important to tell the audience, but probably not a lot of time to say it in. And my mom, when I played Richard's second speech for her, said that it was one of those speeches that need to have a lot of...

Indeed...I have a transcript of Richard's speech on my computer, and I read it sometimes if I'm feeling the weight of the world on my shoulders (which is becoming more and more frequent these days). Besides, just listening to his voice is good for the psyche as well - he sounds like someone...

Hmm...yes, that probably is the case. And there were a whole slew of cultural implications we discussed in the books, and all that stuff. It's probably proof that I've spent way too much time in a university classroom, but there ya go. Now then, back to all things Richard: Lately, I've been...

Nora: At long last...my little sister's scout troop is almost done selling cookies. Storyteller: Wonder how much they've sold, anyway? Heather is quite the saleswoman. Scooter: Probably the equivalent of some small countries' GNPs. Beige: So when's the cutoff date? Nora: Tomorrow night...after...

Oh, it's nothing, really - it's just that my prof doesn't terribly care for children's books and shows that portray childhood innocence as something to be cherished; she prefers the books where the kids are empowered and able to grow. I agree with her on some counts, I suppose - but then again...

Ouch! I'm getting a pain in my feet just reading that...take care of yourself, Sara, follow the doc's orders and get well soon, okay? As for the subject of innocence...well, one of my professors (who specializes in children's and adolescent lit) might disagree a bit, but that's a topic for...

"Wrapped Around Your Finger:" The Police

Yes, Ed - the basic puppet's a dead ringer for Scooter. Different eyes, though - they're female Whatnot eyes, with no glasses. Beige: So what you're saying is that she's Scooter in drag. (cackles) Scooter: Aw, Beige, knock it off. (quickly places letters) Ha! Xiphoid, on a triple word score...

Storyteller: (poking head out) All right, who's beating themselves over the head with a baseball bat? (others are huddled over Scrabble board) Beige: (placing letters) Concussion...on a triple letter score. Your turn, Nora. Nora: All right...(placing letters) Fracture. (selects new letters)...

Well, Steve wants to have her appear on another show; I'm just not sure when. Not sure if it's this current one. Another Muppet dream sometime back - it takes place during Jim's memorial, but a lot of stuff is different. For one, it looks like it's taking place in St. Patrick's instead of St...

Oooh...what else do we want Jane to spill about her illustrious son? I'll have to start mulling over a few questions. The problem is, lately the MuppetCast site hasn't been loading on my computer. Must be a server issue or something...

Erin: (reclining on sofa, studying some French) How are the new glasses feeling, Scooter? Scooter: (adjusting said glasses) They feel a little weird, but I'll get used to it. (looks over at book) What's French for glasses? Erin: Les lunettes. Tu as des nouvelles lunettes. Beige: That's nice...

Well, look who's back in town! How's it going, Kiki - we've missed you! We're really going to have to get you caught up on all that's gone on around here - for starters, in January, the MuppetCast did a special tribute show for Richard, with interviews from all sorts of people who knew him...

Storyteller: Well, Scooter, how was your appointment with Dr. Lenzes? Scooter: I need new glasses, 'cause my prescription's changed. Beige: In other words, gofer boy, your eyesight's gotten worse. Nora: Nice...Dr. Lenzes told me that I have a different prescription for each eye - so my glasses...

I know, it's kind of cute to have a furry little puppy trying to nip and gnaw at you. The problem is, it won't be so cute once that puppy becomes a full-grown dog. So we're trying to break Sonja of the habit while she's little. And Toby's not too fond of storms - whenever we have rain or...

Nora: According to the Chamberlain, one of you needs to have your eyes checked. Scooter: My eyes are fine! Look! I can read that old Canal Street sign on Erin's door! Erin: Uh...it's not Canal Street, it's Baker Street. Beige: Yup, it's definitely Baker Street. Scooter: (groans) All...
