    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    Erin: I am braising nicely in my own juices. Nora: That's an interesting way of saying you're all hot and sweaty. Erin: But it is the truth. Storyteller: What about the sorbet? Couldn't you have some of that? Erin: I dispatched five pints off to Hooper's, and the rest is on its way to Cold...

    The RHLC!

    In other words, the assertive people can bring the reserved out of their shells, and the reserved people can keep the assertive people down to earth. It's a symbiotic relationship of sorts. And as for the Muppet crew - they seemed to be almost a family of sorts, the way they got along so well...

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    Nora: (groggy) I dreamed that our room was invaded by ghosts, and we all sat around eating sorbet. Storyteller: (at table, reading paper) That wasn't a dream, sweetie. Erin: But I'm still amazed we didn't have the Ghost Hunters camped out on our doorstep. Storyteller: Mm. So what's on for today...

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    Jim: Oh, thank you, Count. (looks at clock) Well, everyone, I think we'd better be getting back, it's getting late. Storyteller: Thank you all for dropping by. Erin: Yeah, without you it'd be dull as tombs. (chorus of groans - then angels start to leave) Christine: It was lots of fun...

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    Storyteller: Telly! What's wrong? Jim: (in Erin's chair, finishing up last of his sorbet) Goodness, he looks like he's just seen a ghost. Nora: Or six. Storyteller: Hmm, hmm...where's Erin? Joe: Which one? There's two here, but one's got an e, the other's got an i. Storyteller: Erin with an i...

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    Erin: Thank you, lovely bats. (puts tip money in jar marked: For next trip to Europe) Nora: Shouldn't Jim and the others be arriving? Storyteller: Hmmm...one Fraggle friend of mine who specializes in the paranormal says that there is an unusually large amount of... Nora: Paranormal activity...

    Spielberg and Jackson team for Tintin

    Hmm, Christopher Lloyd would be interesting - just as long he can withstand a few shouted blasts of "Blistering barnacles!" from whoever gets pegged to play Captain Haddock.

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    Erin: (ladling finished sorbets into cartons) Nora, hurry up with the kiwis! Nora: (runs into kitchen, drops a paper bag full of kiwis onto the counter) Got as much as I could carry! Erin: Excellent, excellent, thanks a bunch. (starts weighing and chopping kiwis) Nora: Did you make strawberry as...

    The RHLC!

    One of the oldest dilemmas in the world - when you really want to talk to someone but there's no one there to listen. And yes, it's very likely that Richard, being human just like the rest of us, had that problem from time to time. It's probably difficult to realize that because for the most...

    The RHLC!

    Oh, man, 103 degrees? I'd have passed out from heatstroke if it were that hot here. I've always been a cold weather person, myself. (EMT voice) One bowl of sorbet, stat! (sends bowl, with spoon, flying over) Clear! And so in season two, we see the perpetually hapless Beaker. (and hear...

    The RHLC!

    Yeah, I think Snowy's kind of cute, too. But seeing as Calculus blithely dreams up all these bizarre inventions (and inadvertently sets off all manner of chaos, and uses the other characters as guinea pigs), perhaps Bunsen would have been a tad more appropriate? :confused: :eek:

    Spielberg and Jackson team for Tintin

    In the story "King Ottokar's Sceptre," Tintin helped save the kingdom of Syldavia from a hostile Nazi-style takeover by the neighboring country of Borduria. Here's something that Muppet fans will find interesting: Professor Calculus, the brilliant but often clueless scientist, is called...

    Wallace and Gromit

    I've been a fan of Wallace and Gromit for a while, too - I just love the dry wit and the sight gags (in Wallace's basement, there is a red sled marked 'Rosebud,' for example), and it's all endearing at the same time. I was really happy that "Curse of the Were-Rabbit" brought home the Academy...

    It's on the way, Ed. The lime in the coconut, that is. You know, I learned something interesting today. If you've ever read the Tintin stories by Herge, you'll know about the absent-minded Professor Calculus. In the Japanese translation of the books, Calculus is known instead as Beaker.

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    Erin: Lime's coming through, but the kiwi's on hold. Nora: What happened? Erin: Don't have enough kiwis. Storyteller, could you pass me that coconut on the counter there? Storyteller: Certainly. (E. takes a hammer and nail, punches holes in the coconut and lets the milk drain into a measuring...

    Happy Birthday, ReneeLouvier

    Happy birthday to Sara, the illustrious founder of the RHLC and the author of Sadie's Stories. Have a bowl of sorbet, straight from the ice cream mixer in my family's kitchen, and hope you have a great day!

    The RHLC!

    Yeah, I go back to school on the 25th. And I've got to pay my tuition, get a new parking decal, start buying my books... Don't have any passion fruit, Ed...but I might try some eventually. They say it makes good gelato, and the seeds add a nice bit of crunch.

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    Storyteller: (shocked) Bunsen? Did you just say that Umbridge was attractive? Erin: (in kitchen, over whir of blender) Good grief, he has gone off the deep end. Nora: And Ed was right - if you thought she was bad in "Phoenix..." (pause) Erin, what are you doing in there? (goes into kitchen...

    The RHLC!

    That does sound really nice - all the others are turning their noses up at you, but Richard wants to come over and be pals with you. (and I'll bet Richard gave those other celebs a few rounds of "your face") Since it's so hot, and since one of Mom's friends has a birthday coming up, I'm...

    Might be; I've never heard of him. Hmm, you're right...I wonder if Richard was mouthing "Scooter!" down below in the trench. Unless it was all scripted somehow or other. Either way, Scooter's up there holding hands with Diana Ross - in fact, she's practically lifted him off the floor. He's a...
