(some time earlier) (knock at the door) Scooter: I'll get it. (opens door) Oh, hey, thanks, guys! (calls to kitchen) Erin, you don't have to run out to the store - Ed and the others just brought some extra sugar and flour over here! Erin: (coming to door) Thank heavens and thank you. (takes...

Erin: (tossing copy of Henry V aside) All right, that's enough Shakespeare for now. (goes to kitchen) Beige: Like I said, the triple-chocolate ones with mint are pretty good... Erin: (chuckle) Scooter was right when he said you sound an awful lot like Cookie Monster. (goes to cabinets) All right...

Nora: (coming down hallway) Ed? I'm returning the Muppet discs you lent us when Scooter was sick. We've pretty much completed the set now, and thanks very much. (meanwhile) Storyteller: Erin, I know you're up to here in all things academic and journalistic, but why don't you eventually take...

I know, it has a certain charm about it. It's no fun when everything's all slick and glossy and over-produced. Reminds me of one paragraph from "Of Muppets and Men:" Given that most of the Muppet performers are unable to read music, learning these parts has not been easy, but Ray Charles -...

Nora: I heard something about Ed assigning us all costumes or something. Storyteller: Oh, I hope he has us all wear bright, cheerful clown costumes. (the others give her a please-tell-me-you're-joking look) Storyteller: I was just teasing, for Fraggledom's sake! Beige: (muttering) That's...

Hmm - I've always heard that John Belushi really disliked the Muppets. He was the one calling them assorted nearly-obscene names and all that, from what I heard. But yes, pretty much the rest of the Not Ready For Prime Time Players appeared in Muppet productions - Gilda was on TMS, Jane...

Erin: (on phone) Oh, hi, Bert...well, since this week is Banned Books Week, all the books we read were books that had been banned at some time or other from schools or libraries...it's an annual event...but don't worry, most of the libraries and bookshops in the area have readings on a regular...

Nora: Really...no wonder Ed seemed to be reading with a Transylvanian accent. But I was really far back when Deadly and the Count started reading... Erin: You didn't have your glasses on, did you? Nora: They were hurting my nose. And I can read without them... Storyteller: But you sure as heck...

I know; I remember hearing "Thinking of U" and commenting to myself on how Beatles-esque it was. Richard certainly did his homework when it came to doing the vocals. And I'll bet he was a fan - which reminds me of how the Muppet crew tried to get the Beatles on TMS. If they had gotten at...

Beige: Are there any cookies left? Erin: In here. (pushes box from Muff 'N Fluff toward him) So what'd you guys think? Scooter: Oh, it went great! (pause) Although I noticed that Crazy Harry had this gleam in his eye when I was reading about the Weasley twins... Nora: And what'd you think of Ed...

Beige: Well, October's gotten off to a good start - I mean, it's nice and cool and clear outside. Erin: (on phone) Hi, Ed - the reading's from 12 to 2. You and the others can show up whenever - and feel free to bring the cookies - okay, see you then. (hangs up) Too true - excellent banned book...

Oh, yeah, I've seen that...and yes, Richard does do a very good English accent. Wonder which Beatle he's channeling there? (To my ears, probably Paul or George) And thanks, Will and heralde, for the words of encouragement. :)

Erin: (looking up) Claudia, what are you doing on the ceiling? Has gravity reversed itself or something? Scooter: Maybe she's turning into a vampire. Erin: In which case we'll have to start wearing high-collared shirts all the time. Storyteller: Mmm, yes...and it's October tomorrow. The banned...

Last night, I had "River of Tears" by Eric Clapton stuck in my head for I don't know how long.

(Sorry, Ed - it's just that a lot of us tend to vacate the premises over the weekend.) Erin: (at table, with copy of "Wrinkle" and a bag of dried pineapple) Let's see, should I start at this line...or this line? Scooter: (with copy of "Phoenix") Either way, you've got six minutes to read...

Same here. I get released for fall break this Friday, so perhaps I'll stop by the music store and pick up my copy of FR3 on my way home. Besides, I've got midterms to start prepping for, a resume to start revising, a book reading to rehearse for, an essay to do...yeah, that's just my way of...

Guys: a few days ago, I sent an e-mail to the Find-A-Grave site, telling the administrators that there was an error on Richard's page. It looks as if someone read the e-mail and immediately went in and made the corrections; Richard's now listed as having been cremated, with some of the ashes...

Scooter: Wait a moment - Big Bird is inviting Sam the Eagle to a Birdkateers meeting? Erin: (reading "A Wrinkle In Time" on the sofa) You heard correctly. Nora: Oh, dear...they're in for a bit of a surprise at the meeting. Beige: So what's Sam going to show them? A long treatise on how all the...

Yeah, I spotted Richard too. It's that distinctive hairdo of his, don't ya know. And let's see...he seemed to be wearing jeans, a blue turtleneck, and a light-colored, loose-fitting shirt worn open, like a jacket. It's kind of unusual to see the performers from above...but it does give a...

It's kind of the same with me. I mean, up until a few years ago, I only knew that he played Scooter, Statler, Janice, Beaker and Sweetums, and that he died sometime before MCC was released. But even back then, if someone had asked me if I knew who he was, I would have quickly responded, "Yes...
