There were some comments on The Muppet Mindset from Luis (Sesame Street), and from Jim Lewis (Muppet writer).

Hmmm! I actually prefer the shot with his hands, although they look a little like Kermit's flippers more than Animal's hands. But at least now I can (finally!) picture where his body and elbows fit, all squashed in that building :P Also, yesterday I was walking through town and passed a...

I've always hated the shots of Animal as a giant, even as a kid. They creep me out because I really can't figure out how he isn't a lot TALLER. Maybe the bonus shot of his arms would explain that. He sort of seems like a giant Animal HEAD and that's it really. He also looks very different from...

Now now. That's hardly the spirit of this thread, Mr Squigi. I think they got linked because they have been posting a lot of articles as well as forum chatter, whereas this is more forum chat than anything. I have no doubt that friends and family of Mr Nelson have been here and see our...

Oh wow. Lisa. Not only is this, as ever, an eloquent and well written story. More importantly, it expresses so much of how I felt inside when I first heard of it...and, even more as the next days went on, that (as Robin said) it was The Same. But as Floyd said, "We’ve gotta work with what we...

I was going to guess it had something to do with the Games section. I once lost about 1,000 posts when the entire Games section got out of hand and then entire thing was deleted. (Wow...years and years ago now!) Spammers never make life better (and spam is bad for your health.)

This really warmed my heart. I loved the way that they referred to their performers as "Fathers" it gave it such a heart-felt feel. Hugs to you and thanks for the story.

Just sayin'

Everyone in our church could pick a Psalm to read today, and most people gave a little speak about what the Psalm meant to them. I really wanted to dedicate the one I read (Psalm 62) to Jerry Nelson, but didn't think that I would be able to even explain why, so just read it. But I was wearing a...

*blows up a few gratituitous penguins and throws fish* :zany::zany::zany: Quack! :crazy: Hahahaha-haha

Also, I read that in Robin's voice from MFC -- "That's two, two worried frogs, ah ah ah." (Also, I never noticed before that it was a Jerry/Jerry interaction between Count and Robin there!)

The worst thing for me is not that they don't know who he is, but that they kinda go, "Oh," and move on to the next subject because they don't seem to get that his passing would have any impact on me as a person who never met him. But then again, I guess I didn't understand myself why everyone...

This is just amazing. I felt quite sad, and then laughed at some of the sillier stuff (Thog's ears, actually!). I've actually felt like I've been getting sadder and sadder since he died, rather than getting over it (if that makes any sense). Its been hard because usually I talk about the...

*sigh* So its been a day, and far from feeling better, I actually feel worse about it...Kicking myself for not writing to him when he was alive just to let him know about one more soul that he had truly touched. I'm gunna be writing to the other very soon to let them know what they mean to me.

Does anyone know where I could send a real life, condolences card too? Like the ones all those children sent when Jim Henson died. And who it could be addressed to?

The thing that I keep thinking about Jerry's characters was that they didn't usually push into the spotlight, or shout about their characterization, but rather stayed as a support and just....existed. I was thinking, Miss Piggy was a very passionate pig in love with a frog and she told you...

I'm not sure I can quite take Bless Us All just yet...I really do feel like the message of Robin in that song is soooooo the kind of message he'd want to leave for us though. If we could live by the lyrics...for even a few days...we'd impact others too.

*sigh* Jerry. The master of voice, character and performance. He was such a strong, brave person, struggling for a long time with his illnesses and still performing voices and characters from time to time. He will be missed.

I think there is a part in the novelization (not read it, but I'm sure I remember it being discussed) that said that Gonzo offered to buy it, but had blown up all his money, and that Piggy offered as well but that they didn't want to "owe" each other so much. Something like that. I kinda loved...

Yeah, it wasn't so much the character itself that was annoying, as the fact that her voice and personality didn't match her body-shape and Dog-ness at all. It would have been refreshing, otherwise, to have a new female member of the Muppet cast. I wonder if she was designed to kinda bridge the...
