Chapter 10: The End of the Line and the Beginning of an Argument
Kermit still had the pillow under one arm and he had two slices of Derby pie on a Styrofoam plate and wrapped with green plastic wrap. Two plastic green forks lay between the slices of rich, fudgy walnut pie. Just looking at...
Chapter 9: To the Rizzo Go the Spoils
For a fellow who had spent most of the day submersed in a vat of lime green jello, Gonzo looked pretty natty. His lime-and-coral-striped pants were neatly creased and his butter-yellow shirt had been impeccably ironed. He did take the precaution of...
Happy St. Patrick's Day
Not at all, dearie--not in the least. I was just pointing out how ridiculously compulsive I can be about some things, and so completely non-compulsive (uncompulsive? discompulsive? Sheesh--now I'll have to look it up!*) about others.
When you write with someone...
Consistently Inconsistent (a rant on canon)
Um, ahem. This is actually rather embarrassing to admit, but I don't actually feel compelled for ALL of my muppet stories to, um, nest into each other. (SORRY!)
The following are what I would consider my canon--Can't Help Lovin' that Frog of...
Kermit: Got any more of those grasshoppers around?
Ru: Um, no--but there's a cricket in the kitchen somewhere. Fancy a midnight snack?
Kermit: I'm on it!
Like most of you, I'm full of hope and anxiety, but unlike some of you, I'm not full of sarcasm and snottiness. (You know who you are.) I think we need to stop kicking a gift horse in the mouth. I had a few of points that seemed pertinent:
1. Brian Henson has his own gig now--full of...
Chapter 8: Kiss Me, I’m Gorgeous
Kermit bought a book at the Bizarre Bazaar, and a foufy embroidered pillow that he thought might make a nice present for Piggy. He tucked his package under one arm and continued on his way.
Music (well, noise anyway) was still coming from the stage area, and...
I'm sure ALL of you (okay, maybe it's just dorky me) like to know where and when certain idiomatic phrases and words came into use.
Sal: What's idio-whatsis mean?
Johnny Fiama: I dunno, Sal. Sounds kinda sexy.
Sam the Eagle: Out! Out of this thread!
Ru: (ahem) Thank you, Sam. The best...
I just want to say--especially for you new readers (and bless ALL of you, new and, um, less new)--that even though Aaron and I take turns posting to this story, and while it might look like I wrote that last section, for instance, because it's under my avatar and name, I could not be writing...
Chapter 7: Here’s Looking at You, Gonzo
Gonzo had awakened one morning with the eerie sense that someone—or something was looking at him. Since he had become a guest of the hospital, that feeling had more often than not been correct, but there was no brisk nurse smiling at him while she...
Chapter 7: On With the All's Fair in Love and Showbiz
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The parade ended with great aplomb at the warehouse, and parade viewers and participants alike surged into the huge warehouse to see the shows, eat...
Ooh! Countie! You read my mind! (Surely the shortest read I've ever provided!) I was working on it last night, and will finish this little tale up before St. Pat's this year.
Kermit: (nervously and daring to hope) Are you having a nice time at your party? Nice place, huh?
Piggy: (smiling to stall for time) Well, it's, um, certainly warm.
Kermit: (recognizing Piggy's "tactful" voice) Is it really warm? I thought it was just because you're so hot....
(Piggy smiles...
(To Catherine not-quite-total surprise, some of the party fixin's are for her birthday, too. She squeezed between the tightly packed partygoers to reach Fozzie and hug him.)
Fozzie: Happy Birthday, Roomie! Were you surprised?
Catherine: Completely. Thanks, Fozzie. You know, this isn't...
(Catherine edges around the door as casually as possible.)
Piggy: Oh—there you are. I was wondering if you were going to make a cup of tea or anything.
Catherine: Sure thing, Honey, but you better come down to the laundry room and take a look at something.
Piggy: The laundry room. Where...
(Catherine and Piggy trundle up to the door of Room 20 laden with bags and boxes and giggling like, well, girls.)
Piggy: That was divine, Catherine. I feel positively giddy.
Catherine: Probably that second mochachino, honey.
(The key finally opens the door and Piggy steps over the...
Oh, dear. It should go without saying--
Gonzo: Says who?
Pardon?
Gonzo: You said, "It should go without saying." So I'm saying, "WHY should it go without saying? Why shouldn't you say it?"
Well, um.....
Gonzo: I dare you! No! I DEMAND that you say whatever it was you were going to...
Chapter 59: Ho Ho Ho and a Bottle of Ink
Kermit looked out at the sea of face uncertainly, wondering if he’d explained Scooter’s hard work adequately. “So the long and the, um, short of it is that we expect him to show up again tonight.”
The assembled cast and crew rippled with excitement...
