    Fic: Muppets from Earth

    Yo yo yo! You get five points if you can guess which part of this story actually happened to me. ***** Muppets from Earth Part 2: A Bunch of Bull By Kim McFarland ***** Gonzo and Camilla has both just received a shock. The egg Camilla had laid—which was so big that Gonzo had at...

    The "What Are You Eating Right Now?" Thread

    A bento box packed with hot dog octopi, slices of baked Japanese sweet potato, steamed breadfruit, edamame (boiled soybeans in the pod) and figs.

    Fic: Muppets from Earth

    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: http://negaduck9.deviantart.com/art/Brian-the-Sandwich-172401766 His fur is purple. Haven't decided about any of his other colors.

    Fic: Muppets from Earth

    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.

    Fic: Muppets from Earth

    Yeah, here we go again! I hope you enjoy the first installment of... Muppets from Earth Part 1: The Sandwich Whisperer By Kim McFarland ***** 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...

    Muppet Snow White

    Yup, it did. It was listed on BOOM's site as well, so I made sure they held one for me.

    Muppet Snow White

    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...

    It's Official

    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...

    Hugga Wugga

    When I watch that now I wonder how the puppeteers could see the monitors through all that dry ice.

    How's the weather where you are?

    90s, intermittent rain, all week. This is just heaven for people like me who take public transportation.

    Club Dot

    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...

    What was the last Henson thing you bought?

    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.

    The Song is Familiar...

    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...

    Before Gonzo was Great

    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,"...

    Actual Gonzo Nose

    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...

    Muppets References in Daily Life!

    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...

    TV Finales: Good & Bad

    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...

    Before Gonzo was Great

    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...
