    Under the Mistletoe

    ------------- Yikes. Robin STARTED the fight? He hit first?? Uh...goodness. I think a talking-to harder than "that's not nice" from Uncle Kermit is in order! I could see Robin becoming upset enough to fight BACK, but...striking first? That's not good. Hope Kermit deals with this a bit more...

    Christmas in the City

    -------------------- Hee, hee, hee... Okay, a couple of awkward phrasings, but the jokes MORE than make up for 'em! The "frock and a hard face" is one of the best puns I've heard in a while (Spider Robinson would approve!) -- though I doubt Sam would be appreciative of the bust if he knew of...

    I've Got My Muppet to Keep Me Warm

    ------------- Wow...thanks guys! Walking tightropes is always fun -- :concern: Heck yeah! Watch THIS! Er... *deliberately averting gaze* uh, right. Well, sex IS a legitimate part of life and especially love, so why not, as long as the author can keep it no racier than primetime? I personally...

    What was the best thing that happened today?

    ----------------- One of my clients has welcomed me harvesting fresh tangerines from the tree in his backyard and giving them away.

    The 'What Do You Do For A Living/What Do You Study' Thread

    -------------------- Aspiring pro writer (yes, already published, but long long ago and in a magazine far far away and not my full name...yeah THAT sort of mag) and, currently, working as a senior caregiver for a caregiving organization. It's never boring, at least... Watch out with those arts...

    What are the Weirdest Christmas Specials you've ever seen?

    ------------------- A good friend of mine showed me a strange early-'60s film called "The Christmas Tree" or "When Wolves Cry" which she swears a local tv station used to show at Xmastime every year when she was a kid; I finally tracked down a copy on vhs and burned it to dvd for her, and...

    What's the weirdest movie you've ever seen?

    Tommy Wiseau is a lunatic egomaniac who is utterly CONVINCED his film is High Art. He's become so legendary that the Rifftrax guys (Mike Nelson & Kevin Murphy from MST) have been throwing Tommy Wiseau jokes in numerous riffs since they totaled his trainwreck of a plotless melodrama -- as in...

    Christmas in the City

    ---------------------- *still laughing* VERY nice! Dynamic and over the top indeed. But hey, what's a Muppet Xmas without tacky sweaters, sarcastic rats, rimshots, and Gonzo going...er...gonzo?

    Under the Mistletoe

    What's your favorite part of holiday season?

    ------------------ When I was in high school, one local church used to decorate every tree on their grounds with lights. And I mean A LOT of trees, and a number of them were weeping willows...which look absolutely stunning with tiny lights all over, draped down with the fronds. I used to love to...

    Kermie's Girl (ushy-gushy fanfic)

    ------------------------ Ahh...so Tricia is adopted! For a second there I thought you were intimating that this Lamont fellow was her dad, which would've been cool too (and perhaps in a way he is anyway). I like how you play with species ambiguity in this tale. :) Clifford's repartee with sassy...

    So We'll Go No More A-Roving, for Fear of Furry Monsters

    Part Eighteen (II) Rosie McGurk completely forgot his assigned daredevil when Fatwah danced closer to the back of the stage, wiggling the flat side of the sword down her entire body with a concerted shimmy as she bent over in a half-circle, still throatily singing: “Pachalafaka, pachalafaka...
