    Benazir Bhutt assassinated.

    Heard it on CNN this morning. It's really shocking; Bhutto sounded like a voice of reason there...and whoever killed her also took out 22 others. I can't even imagine what this is going to do to the political climate there.

    The RHLC!

    Oh, we were - both myself and Jeanne R. Roll, M.D. (that's my mom) I agree - Wisss, to my ears, is mostly Janice with a faint hint of Scooter and Gunge. It would have been fun to see how the performers were reacting to all this down in the pit. And I'll bet they got a charge out of playing...

    The RHLC!

    Ah, yes. Wilson, the amazing three-piece-suited human ping-pong ball. :eek: Okay, just had a listen to part of the latest MuppetCast...and I admit that I was blushing a bit during the discussion of Richard's quilt. Sounded really great; I'll have to post a few comments. We got season 2 of...

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    Erin: Thanks for the notice Ed, and many thanks for the gifts...and thank you, Grover, Herry, Bruce and Murray for your presents; my family sends their regards. Nora: Wow, thanks, you guys...but what did Ed say? Erin: Early Christmas present, you guys. Scooter, Beige, this is before you guys...

    The RHLC!

    All right, it's up! Cool! I'll really have to have a listen to the podcast, and it looks as if I need to sign up as a member. Great job, Steve! And as long as I'm here, merry Christmas and happy holidays to all on the Muppet Central forum and to all Muppet fans.

    Thanks, heralde - he's feeling better today, but he's still kind of sore. We've got him on some anti-inflammatory meds and painkillers. The vet also recommended that we help him stand by looping a towel or T-shirt beneath him and hoisting him up - no small matter when the dog in question is a...

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    (sometime later, in room 7) (a huge pot of peppermint-scented hot chocolate is steaming on the stove) Nora: Oh, wow, this is good. Scooter: Try it with candy canes in it - really amps up the flavor. (slurps up some more) My aunt used to make it with some chocolate-covered caramels thrown in...

    The RHLC!

    Too true - Richard was the new kid on the block at that time. But in the words of Jon Stone: "He came to us a wide-eyed 18-year-old and grew into a master puppeteer and inspired teacher." And Jim and the others knew that, occasional verbal slip-ups aside, Richard had boatloads of potential...

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    Storyteller: Erin, Nora, you two look exhausted. Erin: We feel exhausted. Next question? Storyteller: Come on, it's Christmas. Where's your excitement? Nora: I don't know, Storyteller...personally I always get a little sad over the holidays. Erin: It's the stress and all that, you know? Scooter...

    Happy Birthday Eduardo (The Count!)

    Hey, happy birthday, Ed man...and I hope you gave the Count a chance to count all the candles on the cake, hmmm?

    The RHLC!

    I know - he just went into the phone booth, dialed the Henson place, asked if they were hiring and then waltzed over to audition. I admire him for being able to do that - had I been in his blue-striped Adidas, I'd have spent several days fretting and pondering (emphasis on the former) over it...

    The RHLC!

    Right on - if you watch enough of the Muppets, you can tell who's working what Muppet by observing their movements. Richard, we all know, usually has his characters nod their heads, Jim's characters tend to pivot their heads from side to side when they laugh...but with Frank and Jerry's...

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    Scooter: (poking head out) Uncle Deadly? Erin: What's going on, Scooter? Scooter: I thought I heard Uncle Deadly out here. He was saying something about Ed and a message. Nora: Guys, I think that ornament needs to go on a higher branch...

    The RHLC!

    Oh, I'm all finished for the semester; I came home Friday afternoon after I turned in my last exam and paper and got the room straightened up. And I'm getting ready for the start of my last semester. It's kind of scary, knowing that I'm getting ready to make the leap from the academic world...

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    (in room 7, group is decorating the room at a leisurely pace) Scooter...(singing) And as I turned to make my way back home...the snow turned into rain... Beige: (sorting through lights) What's that you're singing, Scooter? Scooter: "Just Another Old Lang Syne." Nora: Oh, right...it's that guy...

    The RHLC!

    Yeah, that's pretty much nature's way. Let's see...Richard was 14 when Jim and co. did the Wilson's Meats ads, which would have put him in late middle school or early high school. And think on this...when Jim started work on Sam and Friends, Richard would have been about four years old.

    Shakespeare!

    Yeah, it was cool. A couple of the theater majors in the class did their rewrites as full-blown director's books. I did mine as a television script - complete with Courier New font to make it look like it just came out of a typewriter. Same here - I'm an English major who's preparing to be a...

    The RHLC!

    I know - the posture I often use at the computer, or when reading, would make an osteopathic doctor or surgeon weep. The problem is also the furniture - when the university buys furniture for the dorm rooms, they have cost in mind more than ergonomics. But you know, I guess it's kind of the...

    The RHLC!

    Right on - I'd rather have the boss who barks a lot but who's all heart underneath, as opposed to someone who looks nice and gentle on the surface but who's a real tyrant inside. Sure, Richard does put on the he-who-must-be-obeyed act on the studio floor occasionally...but if another...
