    The RHLC!

    Hmm, I look at the direction this discussion has taken, and I've got the song "That's the Way Love Is" playing in my head. Let's face it, everyone, love isn't all about all that "happily ever after" stuff they always throw at us in fairy tales. You guys have been discussing love's pitfalls...

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    Scooter: (on phone) Okay, Bryan, so there's six of you - and there's room for Bernice and Rubber Duckie. (scribbles on clipboard) Erin: So how many so far? Scooter: Um - (looks at clipboard) 26 names, not counting Ed, the Count and Uncle Deadly. It's going to be a full bus.

    Ouch - sorry to hear that the relationship went west, Sara. But good luck to you with the new job and with the new guy.

    The RHLC!

    And in that same vein, nightmares are a reaction to some kind of stress or anxiety we're experiencing in real life. Example: two years ago I dreamed that for a final exam in one class, I had to get up and give an oral presentation - and I arrived completely unprepared, and the teacher wouldn't...

    The RHLC!

    Yeah, you can certainly feel Wembley's frustration and helplessness during those moments. You'd think they'd be able to recognize the voice, at least...and it is kind of bizarre, how Gobo doesn't even recognize his own roommate. And that's true about dreams stemming from wishful thinking. One...

    Well, he fooled the Fraggles, and they were looking at him up close - we were looking at what the camera saw of him. Another Muppet-related dream, and it's a bizarre one. I dreamed that I was on some web site, looking at photos taken during Jim's memorial (and there were close to 50 photos)...

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    Nora: (opens door) Who's using our door to play knock-knock jokes? Storyteller: Now, now, it saved the Doozers from the big pink Glob a while back. Erin: Scooter, we've got names lined up for the trip; better get going on the roster! Scooter: (makes arm flexing motion) Got it! (starts scribbling...

    Favorite Richard Hunt characters

    As said time and time again in various other threads - Scooter. And like I've frequently said, I've had a certain fondness for the glasses-wearing, green-jacketed gofer since I was a kid.

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    Erin: (at Claudia's door, with a bottle) Hey, Claudia - in case that plant runs amuck again, here's some defoliant. (later on) Nora: (rummaging through box) Erin, look - there's a gift card taped to the camera box. (rips it off) And it's for Coming Unbound. Erin: Really? (looks at card)...

    I'm with you on the trivia whiz routine. One of my professors remarked that I'd be a force to be reckoned with on Jeopardy...also, there's a musical trivia board game that my brother and I like to play with our parents. It's called "For the Record," and it deals with rock music trivia; one...

    What puppeteers go through.

    According to Of Muppets and Men, when Linda Ronstadt appeared on TMS, she asked Jim Henson if the performers' arms ever got tired. Jim responded, "You get used to it." In one TMS-era interview, Richard Hunt said that after a long day in front of the cameras he would go out to a basketball...

    Thanks, heralde; it was a good birthday. Spent some time goofing off a little bit with friends, and this weekend I'm going to celebrate again with my family. Richard was operating Wembley? Hmm, very interesting, very interesting. And you know, it does seem that Richard has (or had) an affinity...

    What puppeteers go through.

    In GMC, when the Muppets were scrambling up the gallery wall, the Muppet performers were on a special elevator on the other side of the wall - the elevator consisted of a bunch of platforms stacked on top of each other and lifted by a crane, and there were about two performers per platform.

    Erin: (opens the door, spots cheesecake and boxes) Oh, wow, I know what we're having for dessert tonight! Thank you, Ed! (puts cheesecake on side table and turns back to door) Let's see, what's this...from Ernie and Bert... Beige: So what is it already? Erin: (bringing boxes in) Let's see...it's...

    Happy Birthday MuppetNewsGirl!

    Thanks, Claudia, that's awfully nice of you. (takes cake and promptly chomps into it) ;) :) And my day just got a little greater. And yes, I am a reporter - there was a reason I chose Muppet Newsgirl as my screen name, after all.

    (chuckle) I even had time to read a little bit before I met up with my interview subject. And the book itself stayed on the table during the interview, underneath my notepad.

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    Scooter: So I think we should... Nora: Or how about... Storyteller: No, did that last year. What about... Beige: Well, in the Cave, we would... (Erin enters) Storyteller: (sotto voce) It's her. Start discussing something else. Erin: What's going on, guys? Others: We're just chatting. Erin...

    Thanks for the birthday greetings, guys. :) ;) And Ed, that orange-chocolate swirl cake sounds awfully appetizing. Heralde, I really admire your willpower in keeping that Muppet book hidden away. If I were in your place, the temptation to immediately start reading it would be awful. Case...

    Hi, Kate, nice to see you back! Let's see, where in the book is the section on Richard's quilt...hmm, I don't know the exact page number but it's somewhere in the second half of the book, in the section that deals with the quilts made by the Muppet crew. I'd say Richard's quilt is the fourth...

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    (at the door to Bryan and co's room, a large cookie jar - close in size to a small barrel - appears, containing five different types of cookies: ginger snaps, raspberry thumbprints, orange-chocolate swirls, mint dreams and Triple-Chocolate Deliriums. There is a note on the jar saying, "Happy...
