    The most tear-jerking Muppet moment...

    It most certainly seems that way, doesn't it? I was in my first years of college when Jim died, and it was so sad. I remember when 'The Muppet Christmas Carol' came out and I thought 'that is a legacy that will continue'. It was a very bittersweet moment, but also very special to me as a long...

    Ahhhhh!

    I was going to suggest Schwarzeneggar but he seems to be busy governing California. ;) Anyone see 'Kindergarten Cop'?

    Ahhhhh!

    Leyla, I'm not a teacher, but your postings reminded me of how kids can sometimes be cruel to each other. Having been teased when I was a kid for the crime of wearing hand-me-down clothing and being slightly overweight, I could see where your suggestions would fit in there with simple...

    The 'What Song Are You Currently Listening To?' Thread

    Way to Maladay - Blackmore's Night. A little trivia about this particular group, since I really like to get a sense of people by the music they listen to. If anyone here is a Deep Purple fan, this is a group that Ritchie Blackmore helped put together with a very talented lady named Candice...

    What TV shows are you currently watching?

    I could never get into this particular thing, but right now my husband has a documentary playing about World War I. I am only half listening, but sometimes they really play interesting things on what we call the German version of the History Channel.

    Fraggle Rock Complete Box Set Amazon Sales Rank

    I noticed this when I went to Canada last year. It really bothers me when they switch around and decide to do this in the middle of the series releases, then the packaging of the earlier seasons of the show are not very uniform looking. This bothers me because I have this thing about the shows...

    Your Thoughts: MC’s 10th Birthday

    1. When did you first visit Muppet Central? I first came to the website a couple of years ago, but didn't sign up on the site. I was just here to find out news and information about the release of muppet related merchandise and this was a nice concise and well thought out website. I suppose I...

    The "Does this ever happen to you?" thread

    No that's never happened to me, but it sounds really gross! I generally watch as flies and gnats go for the light if it's on. Either our big overhead livingroom light, or even the computer monitor. Unless we're asleep and they are buzzing about. My husband's woken up more often than we...

    Ahhhhh!

    Sorry to hear about your experiences, that does show how times have indeed changed. I graduated from high school close to 20 years ago, and I remember having one substitute teacher (she was a frequent sub) and she was very cool. Her name was Mrs. Black and she was someone who was strict, but...

    What are your stories?

    BTW, since I changed avatars, I thought I'd give a shout out about this. I will be trying to get some links done for my bears to share, but it may take me a while. My life's been rather insane as of late. So, if you're wondering what bear ilikemuppets was referring to, it was my first avatar...

    What was the last DVD you bought and why?

    Oh that movie was so cute. I loved it! Didn't Steven Spielberg direct 'Batteries Not Included'? Maybe I'm mistaken, but I really liked that one. I want to get the second 'Short Circut' film. I only have it on VHS with German voice overs. I also want to see Wall-e.

    Fraggle Rock fanfic: Everything Seems To Sing

    My stories tend to be very involved with a main plot, but a lot of subplots going on. I have a Fraggle story in mind, which I have started scribbling notations for, but right now I am trying to polish up another story. Someone said that it is slow, but I do not like to rush stories and most of...

    Read any good books lately?

    I think that the computers know how books are good with those 'For Dummies' series, but I start to question how they have everything 'For Dummies'. I never liked the whole 'dummies' analogy, because I don't think people are internally dumb, perhaps uneducated in certain areas. Redsonga, your...

    The "Does this ever happen to you?" thread

    That generally only happens to me after choir rehearsals on Monday evenings when I return home and have the last song we sang cursing through my mind. Last week it was 'Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring' and this week I was humming a German Christmas song called 'Vom Himmel Hoch, da komm ich her'. (In...

    Fraggle Rock fanfic: Everything Seems To Sing

    I'm like that too. When I write, I seriously cannot plan a story. I did that once and it ended up coming off a bit dry. It was definitely not one of my favorite stories. It was also only 70 pages. Today my fan fiction tends to max close to 100 pages. Currently, I am posting one that has 250...

    RedPiggy's Comeback King Saga (a re-write)

    Hi, I have only gotten through with act 1, but so far this story is really wonderful. Well written and interesting. I will hopefully get to act two very soon. I will also try and get a longer feedback up here once I get through the next chapters. Congrats on finishing this project. I went...
