Hey everyone, I got a question for y'all. I was watching the classic clip "Turn the World Around" the other day from the Harry Belafonte episode (one of my favorite songs from the whole series): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLqb64Pb9So I wondered though, what does the word "abatiwaha"...

I found this out on the Tough Pigs Forum. Loretta Long (Susan) was hit by a car and she's in the hospital (in stable condition). You can read the article here: http://www.nj.com/mercer/index.ssf/2010/02/sesame_street_actress_struck_b.html First up, keep her in your thoughts and prayers...

Hey everyone, This is something I've been thinking about for a while, and if need be, one of the mods can move this thread if it doesn't belong in this category. Some of our long time members will recall that here at Muppet Central, we used to ring bells on Dec. 21 at a certain time, to...

Hey everyone, Until I can blow the dust off my old Fraggle fanfic and finally finish it, I've been working on another fanfic. It's not done yet (and won't be for a while) but I know how everything will play out. (The Fraggle one has left me wembling between a few different endings). In the...

Today I looked at the news and there were constant images of people wearing surgical masks. Looks like the pandemic is still spreading a little...but only a little (for now). Any MCers from Mexico out there? Hope you're all OK. Same goes for MCers (and Tough Pigs members) in other places...

This may belong in another thread (mods can move it if you think it should be elsewhere). I have a t-shirt question. Where in the heck can I get either a good quality t-shirt with a big picture of Jim Henson or Mahna Mahna on it? I've looked around and thought by now there should be at least...

I visited my local Kohl's store a couple weeks ago (checking to see if any new Muppet shirts came in). When what did my wondering eyes should appear...but a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer...and several other things. Yes, folks, it's that time of year again. I feel that if this trend...

:coy: "Should I be the first to post? That would be fun! Wait, maybe I should wait until someone else posts and I can agree with them. But then again, maybe I can post first and agree later...oh, I can't decide!" :shifty: "Aw, just go ahead and do it, will ya? Just wish da guy a Happy...

Concerning the latest "hot remark" in politics, I found these two political cartoons. Anyone seen these? Cartoon 1 Cartoon 2 :mad: Convincing John

Hey everyone! Rizzo MIGHT be appearing on the Jerry Lewis telethon (it just started on WGN). I just heard the announcer list the hosts. When he said "Tom Bergeron", they showed a little video insert with him talking to Rizzo. There was no sound, they just played the opening music over it...

Hey everyone, We all know about the LaChoy Dragon commercials...but other than one inflatable toy (a send-in offer from years ago), was there any other merchandise with Jim's La Choy Dragon? I found this. What do you guys think? No, it doesn't look like Dilbert (the Dragon), but still...

Hey, Tonight on the Simpsons, there was a (possible) reference to the Muppephone. Nelson was auditioning to be Krusty the Clown's "Krusteteer" with an act. Nelson had some of the class nerds (like Martin) tied in a row. He hit their backs, making them yell "Ow ow ow" in a song (no it...

Looks like somebody in the restaurant business has been inspired by this sketch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GOGNE0nWHk You can actually buy a burger this big now. Read all about it. Anyone here near Detroit? Someone's GOT to get photos of this thing (preferrably with a Grover...

Anyone seen this yet? Yet another Elmo Fisher Price product is acting up...the "Elmo Knows Your Name" doll. There's at least one out there saying something strange. You can hear what Elmo is saying by clicking the "Video: Listen to Elmo" underneath the photo or you can click here...

Hey everyone, I was just thinking about something. Where do the names of our beloved Sesame Street characters come from? I was particularly interested in where they got Ernie and Bert's names from. Yes, we ALL know the names did NOT come from "Its a Wonderful Life". Sesame Workshop told...

That's right, everyone! Our froggy friend will be appearing with Paula Deen Friday night, November 9 on the Food Network, 8PM Central Time, 9 Eastern. Looks like he'll be helping with a pumpkin pie. http://www.projo.com/food/content/fd-tvfood_11-07-07_MB7JTPK_v26.1946188.html Check your...

Hi all, Can anyone out there, YouTube posters or otherwise, help me out with something? I wanted very much to show a friend of mine the Noah scene from MFS. Would anyone know where I can see it online? I've Googled, YouTubed, etc. nothin'. Believe me, I've searched far and wide for it...

Anyone seen these? Apparently, the seller says they're from the Dinosaurs series. Could they be from the "Swamp Music" episode, maybe? Are these the real deal? Authentic Muppets for sale? Convincing John
