True. He was a strong character, and certainly more worthy than the likes of Tuskernini and Jumbalaya Jack. I guess that they didn't want to have two big crime bosses in the series, and chose Steelbeak and FOWL over Bulba because they were more comedic. I would have loved a Bulba, or, even...

Actually, Taurus was in two episodes: he appeared in the two-parter "Darkly Dawns the Duck"--which was the premiere, not the pilot; the pilot was "That Sinking Feeling", featuring Moliarity, and you can see some things they changed before going into full productio, like DW's voice--and the...

By "A quorum of chickens" I was referring to there being enough of the chickens to constitute a flock, but not all of 'em. One of 'em was egg-sitting. "exploded into a rhubarb of emphatic agreement" is a pretty weird phrase, now that I look at it. "Rhubarb," or "walla," is a showbiz term...

Please don't slap me with a fish for this... ***** Muppets from Earth Part 7: Inhumanity ***** It was a bright and sunny morning. Birds were chirping in the trees, making beautiful music that, if translated, would be revealed as declarations of territoriality and attempts to...

*laughs* I never made that connection. The egg wasn't quite that big, although Camilla now knows what a kiwi bird goes through. Glad you liked the proposal scene. Heh, originally I planned to use the song idea--"Married" from Cabaret, a very sweet song-- but when I sat down to write this...

Thanks, Count. Two... two posts, ha ha ha!... saying the same thing is a bit much. Please feel free to comment! Don't feel obligated wait until it's ended, as that'll be a while yet, and silence is discouraging. I've got the whole thing outlined, and by the time I finish--and I don't leave...

Lil0Vampy: Thank you! I'm glad you're liking this story. Wow, I'm flattered! I didn't know anyone was reading this thing. My first detailed review - now I know what Pinnocchio meant when he said he was a real boy. Er, that didn't make much sense, did it? I've been spending too much time in...

Finally, a fairly cheerful chapter of... ***** Muppets from Earth Part 6: The Eye of The Storm ***** "Okay, how about this one. These three strings walk up to a bar, and they see a sign on the door that says 'no strings allowed.' The first string says to the others, 'Don't worry about...

If I want puppets gettin' nasty, I can watch Meet the Feebles or listen to my Avenue Q soundtrack. (Both of which I like, although MTF makes me cringe on so many levels.) No need to take The Muppets in that direction. Officially, that is... If the movie is nearing the filming stage, great...

Wow. That's one I would not have anticipated. First Yogi Bear, then this in the same week. If that hasn't made my head explode, nothing will.

Here's another "Spot the obscure references" episode of... Muppets from Earth Part 5: Two Guys Walk Into a Bar… ***** It was a dark and stormy night, minus the darkness, storm, and night. There was no bull session today; people were busily developing their own acts. Between the...

...And if you're allergic to paying shipping costs - and I know I am - A Refugee in Oz is now available on Amazon.com and is eligible for free shipping. I actually have a book on Amazon. Now I feel like a real author. :)

Handling the chicken dialogue a little differently for this segment. It'd look silly to do it Lassie-style ("Bark bark!'' "What's that, girl? Timmy's fallen into Devil's Gorge and has a compound fracture of the lower mandible?") so, this time around, I've translated her lines (in italic) where...

After checking my DVD, I can vouch for it. In one shot the magician is running into the left wing (as you face the stage--don't know if that's stage left or stage right), and Statler and Waldorf are in a box on the right side of the screen They are a little blurred, as it's in the far...

Curse you. I created a Kohl's account just for those Animal pants.

I agree. I love Amy's art to death, but Roger's is so vibrant and full of personality, and just plain fun to look at. I'll be hustling to the comic shop after work today. By foot & bus. In over-100-degree-heat-index Atlanta weather. I may get heatstroke, but it'll be worth it if I can snag...

Thanks! Glad someone liked the blooper reel. Heh, I figured peple here are big enough Muppetaku that they'd know about the eye mechanism that Goelz added between the first and second seasons. I love nerdy in-jokes. (Years ago, back in high school, I built a Gonzo. It wasn't bad--wasn't...

Well, think of it this way: is Brian likely to know what he's talking about, and would he have any reason to mess with Gonzo's head? On the other hand, why only one egg, and a mega-sized one at that?

Whew. Nobody made any guesses, so I don't have to make any confessions about the job I held for two years in college. If anyone's puzzled about candling chicken eggs , here's a good reference: http://shilala.homestead.com/candling.html And now... ***** Muppets from Earth Part 3: Lunch...

Holy crud, that chibi Gonzo is cute without being sugary. If I had a PS3 I'd be going "Gimme, gimme gimme." On the right I thought for one brief, joyous moment that one of the other skins was Pyramid Head. That might have pushed me over the edge.
