    Happy Birthday Jerry Nelson!

    Happy Birthday How could Jerry be celebrating today? I could just see it now at his party.... (Guests are celebrating and dancing to music at Jerry's place, which is festooned with balloons and streamers. There is a knock at the door). Jerry: "Who is it?" Guest: "It's...(whispers)...

    "The Choice"--A Fraggle Rock FanFic

    Y'know...I thought about that when I wrote it, but I decided to go with the anonymous Silly Creature, since there are many of them in Uncle Matt's postcards. That and Traveling Matt is often getting into trouble in Outer Space. (poor guy) :) and I don't think that other Silly Creature would...

    "The Choice"--A Fraggle Rock FanFic

    Yeah, it kinda is. I actually have a good chunk of the story handwritten, and I need to type it. Since the Storyteller is telling the story to us, we can imagine her narrating it to us with the character voices inserted. Think of it as an audiobook narrated by the Storyteller with the other...

    "The Choice"--A Fraggle Rock FanFic

    As my 500th post here, I have decided to post the beginning of a Fraggle Rock story I wrote. I have decided to dedicate this story to all the Muppet performers…with special nods to Karen Prell, Terry Angus and Frank Oz. This story was also inspired by one of my favorite albums, “Aqualung” by...

    Muppet Treasure Island DVD Reviews

    Hey all, I just watched my copy of MTI for the first time, and mine's got a glitch in it. :( Can't return it (it was a gift from a while back). But anyway, the screen freezes when Sam returns to shore with the lifeboat and rescues Jim, Gonzo and Rizzo. The screen freezes, then it skips...

    Sababa Mokey Plush cancelled!

    Just called 'em... I did my part. I called 'em, but just got the answering machine. :smirk: Anyway, I was firm but polite, telling them that I would very much love to have Mokey as part of my collection, and I would like to know when she'd be available. I gave 'em my phone number and email...

    Scary Fraggle Moments

    Marjorie scary? Nah. I always liked Marjorie. I thought she was cool. In "The New Trash Heap in Town", she is able to intervene in the Fraggles' collective dreams and reassure them that everything will be all right. I always liked that scene, where she says "Do not be afraid, little...

    Dreams about Muppets...

    Yup, Jim and Sprocket washing the dishes...one of the best Muppet moments ever IMHO. And yeah, I get what you mean about just letting our minds wander and make stuff up when we're asleep. Stuff that just doesn't make sense or is completely impossible in the real world can exist in dreams...

    Dreams about Muppets...

    Two dreams I had... I've had a few dreams where Muppets make cameo appearances, but as soon as I wake up, I usually can't remember 'em! But here are two I do remember. The first one is a dream I had about Big Bird about maybe six years ago. Okay, I had just got the book "Sesame Street...

    Is Cookie Monster no more?

    There was a monster that would become Cookie Monster later on. He appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show (eating a machine). A black and white photo from 1967 can be seen here. This "Cookie Monster" was green and had teeth. A color photo can be seen here. Another version of Cookie Monster that I...

    Is Cookie Monster no more?

    That could be, since he's been around longer. My mother says that a lot of people complained about him when he first debuted on SS. But that's what Muppet monsters do. They eat stuff and act silly. Still...with all the exposure that characters like Elmo and Baby Bear get, I'm surprised...
