Chapter 4
“You don’t think he’ll change his mind, do you Aunt Piggy?” Robin asked for about the three-thousandth time. Piggy had a sudden image of Robin several years earlier, asking earnestly about the fate of one of his toys. The image made her face soften in response and kept her from...
Ru: Aww, c'mon guys. Did I scare you with the lovey-dovey stuff or the technical stuff? I know you're out there--I can hear you breathing! Sheesh! Now I know how Fozzie feels.
Fozzie: (whispering) If you act pathetic, maybe they'll post a comment.
Ru: How do I do that?
Fozzie: Er...
Let me get this straight--we here at a forum that celebrates Frog/Pig romance and you think YOUR crush list makes you weird? Really?
Trust me--this group will understand!
(I have confessed it other places but if I got to date one of the muppets, it'd be Gonzo, the sexy little weirdo. *Sigh*...
Ru: Countie, if that means you think Piggy sound "hot," then I'll give you a pass!
Fozzie: Ru! Shame on you!
Ru: What? What are you--oh. Oh! Oh, um, no, Fozzie--I said I'd give him a pass, not make a pass.
Fozzie: Oh. Okay. That's better.
Ru: Sheesh!
Wow--I'm gonna have to dive right in here and disagree--I LOVED this album. Riding along in my car, listening to this album, it was like watching a brand-new muppet special because I could so clearly "see" what was happening. I do have some impressions to share:
Intro
The intro with the muppets...
Okay--got to be one of my favorite diffident Kermit quotes (from TMM):
Piggy: Don't I get one little kissy-kissy?
Kermit: No, I don't think so, Miss Piggy.
AND
Frankly, Miss Piggy, I don't give a hoot!
Chapter 84: Running the Gamut
Marty had been worried when Piggy called and said she wanted to talk to him. It had been two days since the announcement of her upcoming star turn on Broadway portraying Betty Rizzo in the revival of Grease!, and it was patently impossible for her to leave the...
Chapter 83: (Un)common Goals
Kermit hopped off the couch and held out his hand for Piggy. She took it, then stood and walked with him out of the improvised sound stage to where Marty stood waiting for them.
“Pure gold,” Marty said, leaning down to kiss Piggy’s cheek...
Nice sentiment. Jim always seemed to understand that loss is part of life.
Letting his characters move on and make other friends is one of the greatest bequests Jim could have hoped for. Thanks for sharing, Outerelf!
Hi guys--I've been debating this for a while but I've decided I want to post this, even though I tend to be sortof private. Many of you have noticed that, after a rather long absence I'm suddenly here more than usual. The secret of my copious spare time now is this: I'm staying with my...
Fozzie: Oh! Oh--of course! Wocka wocka! Um, what do you get when you cross a snake with a kangaroo?
Ru: (unable to stop herself) Um, I don't know, Fozzie--what do you get when you cross a snake with a kangaroo?
Fozzie: A jump rope! Wah-ha-ha!
(Polite laughter from Kermit and Ru and Ed.)
Fozzie...
Ru: (opening door) Yay! You came! Hi Countie! Hi Uncle Deadly!
Piggy: (taking the food) Yay! You brought food!
Fozzie: Smells delicious!
Kermit: Hi guys! Um, Piggy--why don't you move over here next to me to, um, make room for our guests?
Piggy: (smirking at Ru) He had me at "next to me."
Just a quick note to soothe both sides:
Fact 1: Fans are notoriously inky-pinky about the details of our fandom(s). It's what separate us from people who WATCH shows but are not really FANS.
Fact 2: Inky-pinky or not, fans who whine are less likely to get more of what we want.
I certainly...
Howdy! I just finished up to this point! A couple of comments, if I may.
I enjoyed seeing your take on an established character--Newsie definitely has my sympathy for his rotten family experience, and my heart went out to him because he was so miserable. I can understand why Gina is...
The door to Apartment 5 opens and Kermit and Fozzie stumble into the already crowded room. The only parts of Kermit visible are his adorable little kneecaps--what? Adorable kneecaps? Piggy--get away from my laptop!
Ahem. The boxes go down, revealing rather dusty Fozzie and rather smudged and...
Just some random observations about the new muppet poster:
Kermit posed like this looks...young. I can't decide if it's because it's an adolescent pose (very tweenish) or if there's something different about the face. Like the other puppets similar to Kermit, SO MUCH depends on the muppeteer and...
Chapter 82: Breaking Ground
“Look—I don’t know. I’ve told you everything I know and that’s nothing,” Scooter snapped. “All I can tell you is that Kermit asked me to try to get everybody together to watch Live with Regis and Kelly today.” He stood awkwardly in front of the video...
Corn ON the cob and IN the shuck and little new potatoes, onion pieces and, um, er, no one we knew.... This is a weird place for me to talk about certain types of food!
