    Wanna buy some cookies?

    -------------- When I was 11 I spent a horrible afternoon scarfing down two whole boxes of Thin Mints. To this day I cannot bear even the SMELL of them after that... --------------

    Stupidity Just Won't Quit

    -------------- I saw that one recently too. Wow. What kills me is that some bargain-basement vector jockey got PAID for that. Bet he or she is laughing all the way to the bank. -----------

    Monday Morning Meeting

    ------------- Hmm. This seems an awkward place to end a story...honestly, you should just plug right on from here, is my own preference, but eh...*shrug* your story. Kermit getting so flustered when he realizes just what he unwittingly insinuated and doing the whole "I know you know" routine...

    Stupidity Just Won't Quit

    ------------ Oh yeah. I laughed my not-in-debt butt off when I heard Trudeau was up on fraud charges. Hilarious! When I worked at a bookstore and took in used books for trade, we practiced a strict non-censorship policy; in other words, if I knew a particular book would sell, or looked strange...

    Hensonville City 2011

    ------------ Rhonda *yelling up at the Count* And it was YOUR cigar we found -- oh never mind. *grins* Sheesh. Bad Mel Brooks references ahoy! :news: Er... who's Mel Brooks? *stares at Newsie a moment, then grabs his tie* :news: Urk! Wha--? Wait! Nope. Come on. Rhonda, make some...

    Kermie's Girl (ushy-gushy fanfic)

    ----------- This is MARVELOUS!! Love all of it! :) Not to repeat compliments already thrown...but I also love the intro to Tricia's band. "Indie Vittles" -- Individuals? Nice. And hey, who DOESN'T find a growly blues singer sexy, no matter what your orientation! Hope Clifford can see Tricia...

    The Muppets The Gift of the Magi help

    -------------- Have been eyeballing used-in-good-condition copies of this online; is it worth the purchase? The CONCEPT is cute, but how's the art? --------------

    The "I Saw Something REALLY Weird Today" Thread

    ---------------- Found an amazingly weird Halloween light set today at a thrift store while shopping for summer shorts. The lights are your basic plastic jack-o'lanterns...but someone glued them onto clearly homemade cornhusk dolls dressed as little scarecrows. The whole effect is so forcefully...

    Brothers and Sisters

    -------------- Enjoying so far. Scene: a quiet woodsy getaway. Possible conflict: er...bugs? A really big rock? An angry catfish? :) Curious what you have planned. Certain bits I particularly liked: humans grumbling as they wash pollen from their cars (yep, done there, been that), Skeeter...

    The Muppet Mindset

    ----------- Awwww sweet! I knew about some of those books, but this is more than I expected. Thanks for the update Ryan! I've begun collecting classic Muppet picture books from the '80s and early '90s, and several of these look like fun additions...and I own, and did enjoy, the first "Tales of a...

    The "Have You Ever Wondered..." Thread

    ------------ Heh...clearly you've never dealt with theatre lights... tungsten-halogens is HOT. Have you ever wondered why humanity in general LIKES being spoon-fed their social values through television? --------------

    When you need to rant...

    -------------- *shrug* Why do you guys even WATCH TV anymore? Despite the Count's proclamation, it is still and will be evermore a "wast vasteland". Wouldn't you rather be reading, or writing, or puppeteering instead?? -------------

    Do you have a catch phrase?

    --------------- I still love "Firefly"s language: "Shiny." One of these days I'll learn all that Chinese cussing, too... One left over from the '80s, to express disbelief, confusion, or general stupidity: "Geh gabba du probba, offasuh?" And the one I probably overuse the most: "...Yeeeeah."...

    Monday Morning Meeting

    -------------- I too enjoy the guys ribbing the ribbit just for the halibut. :) Curious where you intend to go with the frog/pig thing...cautious romance is what I seem to be picking up here, especially given your line about romance springing forth wherever it darned well pleases, despite the...

    Uncredited Performances

    -------------- Ask and ye shall...you know the drill. :) And Ed: Nasubionna's drawing is a recreation of the exact moment when a sobbing Link is told by Scooter that his name HAS been left out of the movie credits! Link is seated, and the hankie in both his hands looks rather drenched, though...
