    Cool Jim Henson Article from 1986

    If only he saw pop culture in general today, period. I just read an article about how younger kids (ages approx 7-12) are now doing things normally reserved for teenagers, like being obsessed with fads, wanting to wear "trendy" clothes and carry cell phones and have relationships with the...

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    MN: I'm back, is anyone else here? Storyteller: I'm here, Nora's still not back. MN: I heard traffic was kind of nutsy today, so she might be a tad delayed. Storyteller: How was New York? MN: Crowded, but civilized and genial, as usual. On Black Friday, New York is a lot saner than any given...

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    MN: That was a good feed we had at my family's place. Storyteller: Same here; my aunt Geri's radish casserole was to die for. MN: I'll bet. Anything notable happen? Any fights over who got the last piece of Nirvana tree bark pie? Storyteller: At least two. MN: My mother had a rule in place for...

    The RHLC!

    When Richard played Miss Piggy, she had a rather throaty voice, with hints of a British accent, the way I hear it. But when you've got a guy playing a lady pig, it'll sound funny either way. By the way: Janice is done; we're ready to close off the quilt edge, do the final quilting and some...

    AIDS Quilt Panel for Richard Hunt

    Thanks, you guys, thanks for all the comments. It's looking more and more like we won't have it out in the mail until after Thanksgiving (due to time and assorted other projects - read: huge final papers for school) but we're getting there. Beaker and Janice both have more hair on their heads...

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    MN: (on phone) Uh-huh...ooh, I like it! Okay, sounds great. Later, Red, and annoy Gobo for me next time you see him. (hangs up) All right, Nora, you'll be sharing your birthday splash with Beth. Nora: (dully) Cool, sounds cool. MN: You don't sound too enthusiastic. Nora: My snob of a brother...

    Pigs singing the Happy Wanderer

    The Far Side? No, it was a single-panel comic drawn by Gary Larson many years ago. It was all absurdist humor, and funny as all get out. Some of those cartoons I can't read without cracking up.

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    MN: Hey, did I hear something about us having a pest problem in here? Nora: Some guy or girl who could have given Oscar a run for his money, in terms of general grouchiness. Storyteller: True. But let's talk about other, more positive things...like the fact that Nora has a birthday on Friday...

    Pigs singing the Happy Wanderer

    You know, that entire sketch reminds me of The Far Side. It was the one entitled: "Tension builds on the Lewis and Clark expedition." The one in front is energetically singing 'The Happy Wanderer,' and the one in the back is thinking, "God, I hate him."

    ATTENTION Muppet Central!

    Maybe I could send in a photo of myself for you, Vic. I'd have to sort through a few to find one good enough to post on the web, though. I'll get back to you on that, mate.

    Bill Nye the Science Guy

    I really liked watching Bill Nye and the gang on PBS in the afternoons back in the day. Brings back some nice memories.

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    Storyteller: So you finally got around to posting a photo of Richard's quilt, did you? MN: Yeah, in between my ten billion other time-consuming projects, Mom and I asked Dad to bring out his Nikon and snap a few shots while we held up the quilt. I also took a few myself. Nora: Wow...the RHLC's...

    The RHLC!

    Guys, I've got a photo of Richard's AIDS quilt up. It's not done yet but it looks pretty nice. Look under Fan Fiction and Fan Art.

    From what I've heard, it sounds like YouTube's been having lots of problems lately.

    Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

    MN: (head jerks up from over computer) Princeton? Holy red brick and ivy, Batman! Nora: Wow, Lisa's been invited into the big ten! Cool...but a little daunting, sounds like. MN: Well, all depends on whether or not she applies. I was invited to attend some tony women's college but I didn't apply...

    Sam's funniest moments.

    Rowlf and Sam doing the Mikado. Man, that was a riot. In fact, in the complete anthology of Gilbert and Sullivan's librettos, in the introduction to the Mikado, the author mentioned the Muppets doing '*** Willow,' among the other references to the Mikado in pop culture (and the author loved...
