    Determine Where Your Dialect Comes From

    Hmm. Santa Rosa, San Francisco, and Reno. I was born and raised in Georgia.

    Muppet fic: Once in a Lifetime

    Once in a Lifetime Part 10: Where Does That Highway Lead To? by Kim McFarland ***** Janken left the Muppet Theater. Most everyone was standing around outside, about to board the bus to go home. Scooter was staying late to do all the stuff that he felt he needed to do before tomorrow; he'd...

    Phil Robertson "Fired"

    Quoting something I found on Facebook, quoted from Jonathan Skippy Schwartz: Duck Dynasty freedom of speech explained: Dude says something homophobic and something racist. He has practiced freedom of speech. Some people freak out over his comments, and complain. Practicing their freedom of...

    Bringing Back the Bells...

    Ah, okay. I'm a relative newcomer, so I didn't know about that tradition. I have almost a dozen puppets now, all but one of 'em Fraggles. Where am I going to get bells for 'em all?

    Bringing Back the Bells...

    I was referring to the winter solstice. The time and date of the solstice varies from year to year. What are you referring to, if not that?

    Phil Robertson "Fired"

    I happen to be reading Atlas Shrugged right now. I'm viewing it as a window into Rand's political ideals, and...well, I won't get into that. I will mention that while she was rabidly against "entitlements" she accepted Social Security checks.

    Phil Robertson "Fired"

    The one thing I'm taking away from this controversy over an actor I don't know in a show I don't watch is that it is no longer okay to gay-bash, and that's what likening homosexuality to bestiality is. For that alone I am glad.

    Fozzie Bear Replica Puppet

    Thanks, Terry! I'm just a hobbyist who builds these things in my living room after work, but I try to make them as close to the real thing as I can. Yours is perfect, but what else is new? :)

    Fozzie Bear Replica Puppet

    I made a Wembley as well, and man was that a laboe intensive project. Recreating the fabric, having it printed, dyeing and cutting and bundling the hair, sewing...oy! If I didn't love the little squirt it wouldn't have been worth it. http://fav.me/d6iweoy

    I just finished watching the entire run of M*A*S*H over several months. Wow, what a show.

    Muppet fic: Once in a Lifetime

    If Fleet is turning over stones for stories, he certainly could do worse than talking to a Fraggle who grew up under (well, inside) a rock. If you'd like to see the video Scooter watched, here it is. You may have already seen it; it went viral a month or so ago.

    My Muppet Show App Discussion/Updates

    I've passed level 24 and am still accumulating points, so 24 is not the cap. The "X Marks the Bot" achievement involves putting '80s Robot by the treasure chest. The achevements for getting each Muppet on a stage will be filled if you get one of each Muppet leveled up, not every single...

    Muppet fic: Once in a Lifetime

    Once in a Lifetime Part 9: Living in a Shotgun Shack by Kim McFarland ***** It was a typical day. Typical, unremarkable, routine, nothing special, he thought as he looked out the window. There wasn't much of a view, unless you liked other buildings. In a city apartment, if you wanted a...

    My Muppet Show App Discussion/Updates

    I have Rowlf. He's playing a piano bit that's not smoothly looped; I can definitely hear where it breaks. I've got the Newsman coming next.

    My Muppet Show App Discussion/Updates

    Ha! At first I thought "1880s robot" was a typo. But, nope, there he is. I'm almost at level 24, so we'll soon see if that's the new level cap. The app store blurb says "Check out the new digitizer upgrade that allows you to hire premium Muppets like Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy!" To get...
