    Sesame Street Old School DVD's: Not For Kids

    Too true - notice I said "Jim and the gang," rather than just Jim. And Jim worked with a fairly large gang.

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    (door creaks open) Storyteller: Here we are, suite sweet suite. (chuckles) Beige: What's sweet? Storyteller: The suite is sweet. Beige: Well of course a sweet is sweet, but what does that... Erin: Let's go, you two, you're blocking the door. (nudges in with suitcase) Anyone feel like eating...

    Nora: So when are we heading back? Beige: I think tomorrow or something. (knock at door) Nora: (looking around for wallet) Scooter, want to get that? Scooter: Sure. (opens door) Hi, Uncle Deadly, what's up...uh-huh...right, I'll tell them. (turns) Guys, there's a big dinner at Charlie's...

    Ah yes - of all the Muppet performers, Richard was the one whose name caught that kid's eye. Even from beyond the grave (or urn), Richard is still reaching out to young fans. It's good to see that the kid was getting regular exposure to the Muppets - but we'll have to dock the parents a few...

    Sesame Street Old School DVD's: Not For Kids

    Well, true, parents do have much less spare time on their hands - but it's not the amount of time you have that matters, but what you do with that amount of time. Had to drop this in, 'cause you know me - Richard Hunt said at Jim's memorial, "Henson's Muppets spoke to the part of kids that...

    Sesame Street Old School DVD's: Not For Kids

    First of all, let me just say that the disclaimer is, in my eyes, ridiculous. The belief that kids won't understand the material is a blanket judgement, and is kind of patronizing as well. When I was a little kid watching SS in 1990, I saw some of the 70s-era material, and I understood it just...

    As for me, I have one German shorthaired pointer (the breed's been a family favorite for years) and one German shepherd-black lab mix (at least, that's what we think he is). But I know from the Brittany spaniel - it is a very pretty breed. Hmm, a rage syndrome - well, Richard did have his...

    (chuckle) For me, almost any dog breed is capable of being adorable. I'd say, of the spaniel breeds, Richard would be an English Springer Spaniel. It's got a curly/wavy coat, it's big, lovable and overly energetic...and it's a hunting dog. As for the others - well, let's see, Jerry would be...

    Ello's!

    Hi, Kiki, welcome back to the electronic den of fools! Swing by the RHLC, won't you? The others will be glad to see you.

    Hmmm, okay, I see where you guys are coming from on Richard's resemblance to Wayne...but personally, I don't think he really resembled Statler. Statler is very jowly, with a protruding jaw - very much like a bulldog. The way I see it, Richard was more like a greyhound in his later years (and...

    Hmm, could be...(looks up) Richard, you wouldn't happen to be playing with the Twister board again, would you? Richard: (hides board - the pointer is aimed at "All Things Peony" - behind his back) No, no, I'm just here listening. Yes, the peony is native to Asia, and to parts of Europe and...

    As for me, I'm rather partial to blue hyacinths. The color's gorgeous and the scent equally so. I'd heard of peonies before, but didn't know much about them. Only after I heard about the connection with Richard did I start looking up info on them. For example, I recall reading that peonies...

    (in the park, the gang is throwing a Frisbee around) Erin: (throwing Frisbee) Nora, heads up! Nora: Got it, got it...(catches it) Scooter! (throws it) Scooter: (jumps up and grabs it) Coming your way, Beige! Beige: (runs forward) This way...this way...(falls over trying to catch it) Whoa...

    No worries, heralde - it's kind of the same with me; I've got assorted school projects that need attention - and I just remembered that I have a French test tomorrow. Now, back to the peonies: some species, I believe, have a rather citrusy scent to them. And they do come in all sorts of...

    Erin: (on cell phone) Tell me what's going on...uh-huh...Gonzo...water balloons...Flight of the Valkyries...I see. (hangs up, starts whistling the theme from MASH) Scooter: Business as usual, I take it? Erin: Don't you know it. Nora: I just hope they keep the water balloons away from any...

    (sigh) Another one of those days, was it? I know the feeling. Hope you're feeling better, heralde. :sympathy: Well, there are several shops outside of the main one at the museum. I know of at least two others; one down near Rockefeller Center and another in Newark Liberty. But about the...

    Scooter: (glances at watch) It's after five. Is anyone hungry? Nora: Well, I could go for a snack or something. (group ducks in to Hooper's) Erin: Let's see...I'll take one orange-spice tea and two ginger scones. Nora: Same here. Scooter: One hot cocoa and some apple crumble. Beige: One...

    (tonight) Erin: Food's in the fridge; we'll load it tomorrow. Scooter: Has anyone seen my radio? (grabs phone) Oh, hi, Kim - yeah, there's still room. Just meet us all at the bus tomorrow, all right? Storyteller: Now, I want everyone to get a decent night's sleep for once... Nora: I can't...

    Well, at least some people are involved, anyway. Outside of the SGA, there's a few student organizations, plus the media (that's us) - they're the ones who really take an interest. Let's see - well, one part of the revised constitution would give (limited) senatorial voting rights to the...

    Scooter: (on phone) Oh, sorry, Prairie...tell Kathy I said get well soon, and take care, all right? (hangs up, scratches four names off list) Erin: (at table, looking over story notes) What happened, is Kathy sick? Scooter: Yeah, and the others are bowing out as well. Storyteller: (at stove) Not...
