Chapter 137: And the Award Goes To….
While Piggy was alerting the dogs of war—or at least one old war-dog with a toothsome bite—Rory had not been completely idle. When Piggy arrived back in the dining room, there was a beautiful confection on her plate that the chef had made...
I am friends with Armin Shimerman, (who played Quark the Ferengi barkeep on Deep Space Nine) who appeared as two different characters on Star Trek: Next Generation (An unnamed Ferengi and a Wedding Box that talks) with LeVar Burton, who played Geordi LaForge on ST: TNG
LeVar Burton was the...
It is the end of a long Christmas break, and everybody is back to work tomorrow. Fozzie is anxious about his new dinner club gig, and is trying out his jokes--or the ideas for them--on Kermit. Kermit, ironically, seems calmer at the prospect of going back to work, and has been humming happily...
Wow. This one has been waiting patiently for a long time. But you know I ALWAYS finish what I start writing here, so here's a little bit to get it going again.... (Given the thing I have fore Gonzo, you know I would like Brian Spanek...such a cute, geeky guy, even without fur....)
Gonzo was...
Okay--I've watched them all--ALL I TELL YOU!--and I have some random comments. (I know you're shocked.)
From the "The more you look, the more you see/The more you listen, the more you hear" file:
MCC
Do you realize that in giving Jacob Marley a brother, Robert Marley, you've inserted "Bob...
Aww--a merry Christmas and a Happy Ghoul Year, Countie! It sounds like all the regulars at the Bat, Bolt & Skull had a nice end to the year.
Now, the only burning question I have is...what are you going to do NEXT year to top THIS series?
Hugs,
Auntie Ru
Eeep. Sorry! (I am feeling rather like a big meanie.) But you know me, and you can trust me that there will be a happy ending...eventually. We've just got to get there.
Um, what I meant was "last chapter BEFORE that last one." I posted a new chapter (135: Out of Nowhere) on December 26th and...
If you're just tuning in after Christmas, don't miss the LAST chapter....
Chapter 136: Out of Context
It was an old maxim around the studio that, “If the pig ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy”, which was actually a corollary to “If the frog ain’t happy, he erupts into...
I've only gotten to watch The Muppets about six times this week (:) It's a great workout video!) but I have a few of things to add:
Did anyone else catch that the two rubber chickens that Fozzie is showing to Walter are named Fran and Louise, as in Fran Brill and Louise Gold. What a lovely...
(Things are quiet-ish and friendly-like in Apartment 5. Ru is writing with her earbuds in, Kermit and Piggy are watching television and Fozzie is folding all of the tissue paper that came inside the boxes and bags neatly so it can be saved. Kermit keeps casting nervous looks at Ru, who is...
Okay--here are my COMMENTS so far. (The opinions expressed here are the personal and highly opinionated expression of no one but myself.)
Am I the ONLY ONE who thought it was hilarious to hear Kermit say “Hotlanta.” One of the things that makes Kermit so a-dork-able is that he has...
I don't think I actually watched this video before today, although I had heard the music. It was very charming in many ways, and I am grateful to TPTB for giving us a little muppety-video something for the holiday.
My apologies--this is long overdue. For those of you who can't get the video or...
Ru: (looking at note on door) Awww. We missed a movie party invite from Kathy and Robin and their crew. Shucks.
Fozzie: Why don't we see if they want to do a movie party tonight? Are there any specials we haven't seen yet?
Ru: (excitedly) Ooh! I haven't watched my entire collection of...
Somehow missed this one, dearheart. It was very lovely, and what a nice present to open up on Boxing Day.
I'm glad to see that the answer to that old Christmas carol "Do you see what I see?" is yes--you see Piggy as the warm and affectionate (and sometimes insecure) performer she really is...
To: All my Readers
From: Ru, with love
Chapter 135: Out of Nowhere
Usually, with paparazzi at a fever pitch and security at a minimum, Piggy would have slipped out the back and made for the safety of Moishe’s cab, but this was not the usual night out on the town. This was...
Ru: (whispering) Don't tell Piggy, but I think someone in the building is cookign B-A-C-O-N.
Kermit: Yeesh. Not me. Yuck.
Fozzie: Better than frog legs....
Ru: Not really....
Newsie: It’s certainly nice of you guys to have us over for Christmas.
Gina: It’s been such a nice day.
Ru: I’m so glad you guys came over. Scrabble is much more fun with four players!
Piggy: Thank goodness you didn’t bring those things with you, too.
Ru: Piggy! That’s not very nice. Of...
Ru: Wow. Great story. I tip my hat.
Fozzie: Um, Ru--you're not wearing a hat.
Ru: (looks at Fozzie, sighs) Can I borrow your hat?
Fozzie: Um, sure. Don't mash it, okay? (hands it over)
Ru: (puts the hat on and doffs it, then hands it back to Fozzie) There. Happy?
Fozzie: Yes. I'm happy we got...
Before the frog/pig marriage debate is over, I would like to add this:
Miss Piggy: What's wrong with you people? What makes you think that the fun is over just because you get married?
Ru: Thank you, Piggy. I totally agree. I have been married almost 30 years. I have a pog AND a fig and...
