    The first ever Muppet Central Christmas Party

    [Janken puts a hand to his ear] : Listen! [He scampers to the door. Outside are said carolers, by some marvelous coincidence. One is a Fraggle. One is probably a Fraggle, although he might be distantly related to Big Bird. One could a member of Grover's species who had lost his nose...

    : Sure! The more the merrier! Or at least the louder. Um, speaking of which, I invited some carolers. I hope that's okay.

    The first ever Muppet Central Christmas Party

    Meanwhile, Janken, who couldn't find any room on the pullin' rope, has been singing a song about extracting a snuffalupagus from the hottub. It's a Fraggle thing.

    The first ever Muppet Central Christmas Party

    [Janken ladles some of the punch into a cup. He takes a sip, then gets a funny look on his face. He spits what looks like a very large nail into his hand.] : Okay, what wise guy spiked the punch?

    : Sure, that's cool. I was worried I'd be all alone under there.

    The first ever Muppet Central Christmas Party

    [Janken Fraggle is at the door, and would knock, but it's hanging open. He peers in and taps on the door anyway. Then he shrugs and picks up a large covered plate and enters.] : Hi, I brought some potato coo- [He steps on the icy patch, skids, then falls flat on his face. The plate full of...

    Fraggle fic: The Minstrel's Path

    What didn't nobody see? And, no, Tchia's child won't be Clio. I did toy with that idea, but decided against it with some regret after I figured that Cantus has to be geographically far away from Fraggle Rock at this point in the story. Clio lives in a colony not too far from FR. You'll know...

    Fraggle fic: The Minstrel's Path

    Cantus likes to puzzle people and make them think. He gave Gobo a big puzzle in The Honk of Honks, because he wanted Gobo to make the connection himself; you learn when you find your own answers, so that's how Cantus teaches. Brool doesn't need testing, he needs help, so Cantus's message is that...

    Fraggle fic: The Minstrel's Path

    Yes, we're definitely not seeing Brool at his best. This chapter says more about where he came from than it does about him. He'll develop, thankfully. He's not a child by any standard but that of his tribe, and he's good to have on your side in a fight, especially if it happens to be a fight...

    Fraggle fic: The Minstrel's Path

    Balsam's verse makes him sound kinda derpy. Maybe he's a goofy little comic relief character, the Orko of the group.

    Fraggle fic: The Minstrel's Path

    Brool's origin isn't quite through. At the moment the plan is to convey him to a colony where his leg can be properly seen to, and he can shelter for the winter. After that, it's up to him. At the moment Brool doesn't have the right attitude to be a Minstrel. Anyone can sound out a tune...

    Fraggle fic: The Minstrel's Path

    The Minstrel's Path Part 14 by Kim McFarland ***** Cold wind blew through the tunnels between colonies. It was uncomfortable, but not yet dangerous. Cantus and Murray still had days to travel before they would have to shelter for the winter. They were not far from their destination...

    The 2012 MC Bells

    I personally like the idea of releasing it on the day, which would mean filming it earlier. I'll certainly be filming mine earlier, providing I get the SVGA cable I need in time.

    Elmo Muppeteer Kevin Clash resigns from Sesame Street

    Speaking only for myself: I believe that a person is innocent until proven guilty. And thus far the claims made against him do not, in my opinion, ring true. The first one came across as blackmail. The second and third seem like "me too" lawsuits, people who want to bleed him. #2 claims that...
