heh heh heh Funny. I actually noticed this on Slashdot before here, but, I couldn't be bothered to upgrade my version of Opera. (I run 6. ummmm.... 3, I think), and I was wondering if anyone would pick this up.... -Rick "Wembley" Miller ..."You can NOT leave the magic!"

Well... When I was a youngun', I always wanted to be like Gobo... and in fact, I was, sorta, I explored my entire town (Newmarket, NH BTW) and parts of surrounding towns on my little red bike when I was growing up. I could be out "exploring" for hours... I even named some of the places I'd been...

All I can say is "Wow!" too! Even today, I can pull out an episode on tape, place it gently in my VCR and almost forget that its all puppets etc. Even today, the show seems fresh and current. (I really don't know how to say it, but you know what I mean) You say that hopefully it won't be...

Well... I _am_ thinking about learning how to program the GBA - Although I'm sure that the JHC would not approve of us using their characters in a video game, it is a neat idea... -Rick "Wembley" Miller rickmillerenterprises@hotmail.com ..."You can NOT leave the magic!"

Actually, in your UMATIC.JPG picture, the one on the left is the one I have, IIRC. I wonder, one of my other interests is amateur radio, and I bet some of this "old" video equipment, etc would be fine for amateur TV use.... hmmm.... I'll have to do some research. -Rick "Wembely" Miller...

Okay, glad you set me straight on that. :) I actually have one of those U-Matic VCRs (somewhere) in my basement, the sucker is HEAVY! I got it when the school librarian was throwing it out, and was told I could have it on one condition - that she never see it again. I oblidged. :) I would...

Looks good! The puppet looks great! I would expect to see something of that quality on Sesame Street! I hope you get a good price for it! -Rick "Wembley" Miller rickmillerenterprises@hotmail.com ..."You can NOT leave the magic!"

Wow! Neat! I remember the first time I watched Fraggle Rock - it wasn't the first episode, but, if I recall, it was "The preachification of Convincing John" - one of the first episodes made. I grew to love FR so much that I watched it every time it was on. One night I had a babysitter (my...

I'm baaaaaaack! (again!) My stint at Canobie Lake Park is almost over, (just the weekends in September, and that's it) so I am gonna have some more time to devote to web-surfing of all things Fraggle (and muppety!) This is what I've been up to... I've spent most of my time working this...

What's up with the petition? No news in a month almost.... -Rick

A "best of" compilation would not work... ...since all the episodes were so good that it would be forever and a day trying to decide on the "best" ones.... I am now thinking about buying a French DVD player to play the Fraggle DVDs if they really are coming out! -Rick

Hmmm.... Punchcards, eh? Well, I can't say I ever heard about that, now it's a "pay once at the gate and ride all day" kinda thing. I'll have to ask about the punch cards, as I have been going to the park all my life and I don't remember them... What's interesting is the number of places...

Well, all I can say is I hope they used their radish cream to keep 'em from disappearing.... :) -Rick

Hehehe.... well, I probably would make a good siren, when I crank up the ol' singing voice, people tend to run... -Rick

JHC now using Red Hat Linux Well, okay. As a fan of both Linux and the Muppets, I thought that this article is interesting. From what I gather, JHC and RedHat (a Linux distributor) are working to create a digital puppetry system. The article is light on the tech details, but I hope we hear...

Of course, my question is why has there been no new FR stuff made since 1988? I know that Henson co. wanted to put a good ending on the series, and it was done very well. However, the door was left open for more stuff to be made, like movies, or a new series even. I for one, would love to see...

Well... lots of you have downloaded the "Rick's Muppet Chat" software from my system! Now it's time to see if it works! Tomorrow night (Apr 28th), I am going to hold the first "Rick's Muppet Chat" event! How do you get in? Well, there's a 5 dollar cover charge (just kidding)... All you...

Okay... well, I see that people are starting to download the chat software, and now that I have fixed my .sig :) more people can download it... I am thinking that maybe we should have a chat! I would like to propose that Sunday, April 28th at 9 PM EDT, we can have the first un-official...

I don't know how far last night's storm was spread out, but it started snowing last night around 9:00 - just about time for me to get out of work- and this morning there was an inch of snow on the ground!!! It's melting fairly rapidly, but it sure made for a slippery ride home last night...

Hmmm... That would be cool if Pixar would work with JHC on some new Fraggle project... Of course, it would still be puppetry, but Pixar could do some backgrounds or CGI stuff to make the Fraggle Five visit even more new magical places! -Rick "Wembley" Miller ..."You can NOT leave the magic!"
