Well, Closter, NJ is right across the Hudson and up a bit from the Bronx. It might have been a bit of confusion among the biographers. Either the family moved, or Mrs. Hunt went to a hospital in the Bronx...who knows? It's no big deal any way.

I just voted in favor of Richard and Jim. Richard's (dis)approval rating is now 20%, and Jim's is 43%. Yes, Matt, they are lame excuses indeed. So lame they'd need crutches and at least six months of physical therapy. I mean, come on, bashing Richard because he's got a receding hairline, and...

That site is one of the most mean-spirited, insulting, backstabbing wastes of HTML code I have ever seen. Richard and the others are certainly NOT annoying, but I can name at least a thousand people who are (ex-high school classmates and loudmouth political pundits come to mind).

I'm willing to bet that all of the Muppeteers came to work hung over at least once. The story about Dave pouring sugar into Richard's mouth, and then go tearing down the hall with Richard in hot pursuit...that's the kind of moment when you need to have a camera with you. I'm just surprised...

I tried that second test, and I got Scooter. Yes!

I read some of those vignettes about Richard (Dave pouring sugar in his mouth, the glass breaking offstage, etc), and now I'm going to be snickering to myself all day. The way I heard it, Richard didn't really like playing Elmo in the first place. Something about not being able to connect...

Of course, that could easily apply to Animal as well. But Sweetums is somewhat easier to cope with.

Physically, the man's in a cemetery somewhere in New York. But spiritually, I do believe he's with all of us, with all the people he touched while he was alive. And that is a really nice poem, by the way.

Hey, no problem. I've been playing for six years and I can read music to some extent, but the tabs are really useful. I just got 'Favorite Songs from Jim Henson's Muppets' in the mail this morning. It's arranged for easy piano but it's got the guitar chords, thank heavens, so I'm going to give...

"He was such an adorable guy..." and the fact that this thread has quickly topped 15 pages clearly attests to that. Don't fret about it, MBM. Trust me, I've heard a lot worse.

It's short for tablature. It's like standard notes and clefs, but there are six lines, one for each string of a guitar, and instead of notes there are numbers that tell you what fret to play on each string. A zero means that you play the string 'open' (you don't press down on it), a one means...

Besides, Perfection seems more suitable for, say, Frank Oz. I read in Of Muppets and Men that Linda Lavin didn't feel very comfortable around him at first. She said he seemed a little too serious. On the other hand, it looks like Linda and Richard hit it off "before I even met him." There's...

Guys, I can't really clarify this...but I seem to recall reading somewhere that his middle initial was H. MBM, are you eating/drinking anything that contains lots of sugar or caffeine before hitting the hay? If so, you might want to cut back a little bit.

All right, I guess it's time to tell you that I had a rather interesting Muppet-related dream last night, and you-know-who was in it. It took place in an old Broadway house, and our favorite Man of the Muppets was down in the band pit with Janice and Scooter. I've got a more detailed account...

Had one last night: the Muppets were putting on a musical on Broadway. And rather than Manhattan Melodies, it was basically the storyline of Muppets Take Manhattan. It was all quite intriguingly bizarre. The audience kept folding their programs into paper airplanes and throwing them around. Not...

I understand him completely. When it comes to funerals, I'm a lot like Richard in terms of showing emotion. I'm not terribly comfortable being around people who are overly emotional. When I was 13, I had to go attend a funeral for an aunt I hardly knew, and seeing my relatives sobbing over the...

I've heard the quote, and it was on 60 Minutes. I just got a book that deals with dreams, psychology, sleep patterns and the structure of the brain. I wasn't interested in the more mystical books up there, and let's face it: if I took everything the "dream dictionaries" said at face value, I'd...

I didn't have any honest-to-goodness dreams...but I did have a fleeting vision of the man; he had on a red polo shirt with blue stripes and a pair of jeans, as I remember. While I was out running errands today, I ducked into the bookstore for a bit and scanned through all the books on dreams...

I'll just do something on August 16th. So, guys, how did your little dream experiments go? My REM cycle was thrown out of whack by high levels of caffeine in my system. That's what I get for drinking at least four cups of moderately strong tea within a six-hour time span. I've got to go...

(looks up toward heaven) Richard, would you mind paying MBM a visit tonight? It'd be well worth your time! I honestly don't know what I do to set off those dreams, other than thinking a lot about the subject matter. I don't think I did anything unusual the night I had the friendly smooch...
