Heh, thanks.
I just reread this--for the sixth time; I put all my stories thorugh multiple drafts--and it looks like it ought to be a subplot for a regular story rather than a standalone. If I had a bigger story to put it in I'd ask a mod to X this, but I don't have anything epic planned...
Here's a little something that comes chronologically after Muppets from Earth, but is more properly a followup to Before Gonzo was Great.

Home is Something You Needn't Deserve

It had been a dark and stormy night inside the Muppet...
Yes, he does share a name with at least two Muppets, and at least one of those also has a musical shtick. However, I believe I said that if his name was revealed, fish-slapping would follow. So I'm rubber, you're glue, and that fish is a boomerang!
Hmm? I didn't state his name. Woggle-Bug is an Oz reference. There was a character named Professor Woggle-Bug. He was basically a huge beetle with a humanoid face and tentacle-like limbs. And Dr. Teeth always looked kind of like a bug to me...
Oh, and "fairly unremarkable" is a...
Thank you, I'm glad that you enjoyed it! It was a blast to write.
It takes place very soon after Muppets from Space.It begins less than a month later. As to when that is, well, I don't work too hard at pinning the Muppets to a timeline. If I did, then many of the characters would be getting...
Actually, by "sexual" I didn't mean to imply sexual activity, but something that is "of the sexes" in general. As a counterexample, the baby-thrall scenes with Billie have that "awwww" thing going on, but there's nothing romantic about 'em. I'm guessing that those would be far outside the...
It looks like I will soon be able to listen to those tunes, thanks to a benevolent force on these boards. One, one benevolent force! [Lightning flashes, or at least Scooter flickers the stage lights.]
Ahh, so that's that ush-gush is. (Heh, if you thought the birdseed scene was gushy, well...
*laughs* Thanks! I'm a longtime fan of Cabaret, as you may have guessed from the screaming-at-the-trains scene after the bar scene. In fact, in the original draft, Gonzo was to sing Married from the stage show to Camilla to propose to her. (Gonzo argued against that, saying it that would be...
Thanks, glad someone read the outtakes! There was actually one more - someone slipped Meet the Feebles into the Jurassic Park DVD case - but somehow the footage got lost. That's probably for the best, though. :p
My next fic? You mean Monsters from The Past? Oop, you didn't see that. I...
I'm having a good time reading this and visualizing it as one of those Muppet specials that is 90& singing. Except, for once, it's not for Christmas. I wish I had actually heard the songs, though. I haven't been able to locate a copy of this album at a non-ridiculous price. :(
Dum-dum...
Other charcetrs included Uncle Nero, Lady Janus (note spelling--named after the two-faced god, not the guitarist), Cousin Blobby, Granny, and Renfield. Couson Blobby is the only one I recall seeing in later episodes.
I wish they'd release the Saturday AM episodes on DVD. Some of the best...
I never know when to leave well enough alone, do I?

Sandwich: Hey, how ya doing?
[Everyone looks at Fozzie's plate. His sandwich is speaking instead of Gonzo's. Fozzie looks around at the others, then swaps plates with...
Thanks, guys, for sticking with this bloody thing to the end. I just printed it out and bound it, and, wow, it's a big mama-jama.
I hope the story made sense. It was a little difficult at the end, trying to balance hard science fiction with Muppetiness. I actually worked out a whole lot more...
Yes, it's what you've all been waiting for: the end of this story! The grand finale! The chapter so great we titled it twice:
Muppets from Earth

It was a dark and stormy night. The loudest of the thunderclaps could be heard...
'Cause I feel like posting a teaser, I'm posting a teaser. And 'cause I don't want it to be a spoiler, it's... well, you'll see.

After intermission, the curtains opened on a stage set like a darkened nightclub. This time the tables were filled; every male Muppet who could find a tux...
