Part 2: A Bunch of Bull

Gonzo and Camilla has both just received a shock. The egg Camilla had laid—which was so big that Gonzo had at...
Thanks, Gelfling Girl. Heh, I heard that "Wow" in Janice's voice.
I did a quick picture of Brian--the communications dude, not the sammitch--and put it over here:

His fur is purple. Haven't decided about any of his other colors.
Good question. Can whatevers and chickens breed? As long as Gonzo's species remains unknown, who knows? Maybe Camilla's kept up her acquaintance with the Christmas turkey.
Yeah, here we go again! I hope you enjoy the first installment of...

Part 1: The Sandwich Whisperer

It was not a dark and stormy night. For the past few weeks the weather had been very fair, which was convenient for late-night Jacuzzi parties...
Actually, MSW was listed in the BOOM "Coming Next Week" section. I saw it there last week, and called the comic shop yesterday to make sure they got 'em in. As Diamond shorted them--as usual--I went after work and got one of the two copies that came in. (Got the cover with the Electric Mayhem...
Eh, dinosaurs were laying eggs long before chickens were invented. So, unless you specifiy chicken egg, the egg came first. This study is flawed, IMO, as it assumes that the egg in question must be a chicken egg.
If Gonzo had landed on Earth a few million years too early, would he have...
14? I had the impression Scooter was in his late teens. Old enough to be legally employed, at least.
That said, the cage-dancing Scooter was disturbing. Not as disturbing as seeing Fozzie as a pickpocket, though. There's something very sad about seeing an innocent, often-childlike...
Several books of the Gilchrist TMS comic strips. Used. Yeah, it's doofy, but when they were in the papers I read them first.
I wish they printed them in order, starting from the very beginning.
Here are some obscure ones:
Weird Al Yankovic's Christmas at Ground Zero clearly has Yorgi Yorgensson's I Yust Go Nuts At Christmas in its ancestry.
And for gamers, DDR Supernova 2 has a song called Paranoia Hades. You can find big chunks of the background music for Map 1 of Doom II floating...
What's a Muppet story without extras? Here's the outtake reel from the audition scene.

Take 1:
Rowlf opened the lid again and said, "When I saw you in the park you were singing and playing that guitar."
"Yeah. Hey, I got one you'll recognize," Gonzo said with an odd smile.
"Okay,"...
Hit 'n' Slap:
Actual lyric: Comin' at'cha!
What I heard: Call me nachos!
Be Lovin':
Actual Lyric: Everyone's hypnotized!
What I Heard: Jerkwads in the sky!
The Time Warp:
Actual Lyric: But it's the pelvic thrust...
What I heard: But it's the perfect trust...
I thought they were carved out of white foam. Maybe this one is "toasted."
This reminds me of a production photo from "Muppets in Space." One shows a puppeteer working a foam head that controlled the three Alien Gonzo dancer heads. It had no eyes, fur, or anything else; it was just white...
There is a band called Gonzo's Nose. OK, probably this is nothing new here, but... still. Whoa.
My Rocky Horror cast used to perform musical numbers before the show. One Halloween we did both "The Batty Bat" and "Rubber Duckie." It did my heart good to hear peopole singing along to Sesame...
Actually, what happened was that ABC did not renew the SatAM show for a third season, so the shows Disney had planned were never made. Not Disney's fault. I remember being horribly disappointed when I found this out, as I was an active member of the DisAft fan community at the time.
As for...
That's it! I was thinking back through the episodes and didn't even consider the movies. This is what happens when I scribble notes too late at night.
This story is all over but for the Special Features, but I'm working on another. It'll probably be awhile before I get the outline firm...
