    Muppet fic: Once in a Lifetime

    Heh, you caught the title reference. Yep, I was thinking of the Talking Heads, possibly because I just got a set of Muppets Tonight DVDs. Looking at the lyrics, that song makes as much sense as anything else in this story. ;)

    Muppet fic: Once in a Lifetime

    dwayne115, Thanks! Do you mean that this one chapter will take a long time to read, or all the other stories I mentioned? charlietheowl, Billie can't be too much of a card shark if Bobo is beating her. As for Scooter's plan, I think it can be summed up as "Arrgh! Get anyone we can for the...

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    Constantine: "I have something in my teeth." Pepe: "Next time put me in front of somebody blue or green, okay." Gervais: Burrell, and Fey: "Here are our hands! They're not in the puppets." Walter: "...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH..."

    Muppet fic: Once in a Lifetime

    This fic has been percolating in my head for over half a year, and in fact I had outlined it and started writing almost two months ago. Then I had to proofread a book and a magazine, which squeezed out all my writing time. (Well, I could have found the time, but after proofreading for hours I...

    Favorite Brian Henson Character

    That's bizarre. I've been watching MT lately. (I just got a set, don't ask me how.) One of the skits I just saw today for the first time is that very eggnog skit.

    Favorite Brian Henson Character

    Another vote for Jack Punpkinhead. He captured the childlike sweetness of the character as he appeared in Baum's early Oz books. Pointless factoid: the voice I hear for my OC Janken Fraggle is Brian Henson's Jack. However, because I can't do a voice even remotely similar, when I work him he...

    My Muppet Show App Discussion/Updates

    Your game data is stored on the server, not on your device. That's why you can't play it offline. I'm not the expert on iGadgets, but as I understand it you go to the options menu and merge it with your game center, and then you can access it from other devices that can log in to the game...

    Kermit and Piggy to join Robbie Williams on stage in London November 8

    That's what I thought at first, and went YEAH! And then, "Who is Robbie Williams?"

    Red Fraggle Collectible Doll by Greg Ortiz

    I dunno... she looks nice, but for $1200 I'd think she could be more accurate. Her fur color and sweater texture are obviously off, and as mentioned her eyes are Wembley-sized, making her look like a much younger version of herself. The flat feet and baby hands don't help. And it appears...

    The Muppets and Lady Gaga in new Christmas special November 28 on ABC

    When you're speaking of a drag performer's persona, it's polite to use the assumed gender. When discussing RuPaul as a drag queen, "she" would be appropriate. When discussing his non-drag performances, for example Counselor Mike in But I'm a Cheerleader, then "he" would be proper. However...

    The Muppets and Lady Gaga in new Christmas special November 28 on ABC

    I am still wondering why we haven't seen Weird Al Yankovic on the same stage as the Muppets. Seriously, why? C'mon, it's destined to happen.

    The Muppets and Lady Gaga in new Christmas special November 28 on ABC

    He is an EXCELLENT drag queen. In drag, she could give Miss Piggy a run for the Diva Of The Month. Out of drag, he's...well, he's a guy. I loved him in But I'm a Cheerleader, and I can't wait to see him (or her!) with the Muppets.

    When you need to rant...

    In Atlanta I can often get Coke Zero as a fountain drink. I agree that Diet Coke is nasty, but I do like Zero, and since they put a decaf version in stores it's become my soda of choice.

    Slackbot draws stuff

    Thanks, guys. Glad you like. When I was drawing the pic of Sage, Poncle, and Janken at the lower left I was thinking of the bus stop scene in My Neighbor Totoro... It's a lovely movie, and though (or maybe because) it draws on Japanese religion and folklore I think it has a lot of...

    Slackbot draws stuff

    Archy! Nomnomnom. No, not Gosalyn. Wrong country. Sage is standing there, holding Poncle piggyback, and Poncle is bonelessly asleep. Janken is standing by them, a kinda chilled-out blank expression on his face, a large leaf on his head.

    Slackbot draws stuff

    It's been a long time since I've been able to draw anything fun. I've been buried alive under two projects that have taken so much of my life that I haven't been able to even think of making another puppet since the end of August! But recently a long meeting gave me the opportunity to do some...

    Oh, Jan's not selfish. If you give me some cookies to share he'll be here for his part, but he won't take more than half. And like as not he'll share his with a little sister or two. Not to say that I don't want those extra choc cups!

    There's no "or" when it comes to sweets and Janken. He has a sweet tooth. A pity he's hopeless in the kitchen or I'd teach him to bake pies.

    When you need to rant...

    Yes, we're safe for a few more months. But I don't think the GOP would be foolish enough to try another stunt like this, considering how much their recent actions have cost them in the eyes of the voters. Still, the fight ain't over.

    Huh. I would have thought it was a Nightmare Before Christmas fan thread.
