Hi, Nekoshema, welcome back - I know the feeling. Sometimes the well of conversation runs dry - but more often than not, work gets in the way as well. Yeah, "Simon Smith" is a good one, ditto "Six-String..." Let's see...from FR, I like "Is it True," sung by the Wizard...and I really love "Fly...

Nora: (reading something by Dashiel Hammett) That kind of music, you expect to see a private eye come slinking down the street right about now. Scooter: (walks into kitchen, singing) "Why do I play her game...when she can't even remember my name..." Erin: (typing at computer) "...and his...

Best part of the song - but the whole song is so heart-rending. :cry: Yeah, Janice needs to have lead vocals more often - it's usually Dr. Teeth or Floyd who gets the lead...except when Animal fights his way into the foreground. :halo:

Erin: How's the wrist, Nora? Nora: (adjusting ice pack on wrist) Still hurts. I think I overdid myself when I was helping Mrs. Farley shovel out down at the shop. Erin: I'm amazed that you guys even opened today. Nora: Yeah, well - and then for the window display, we set out all the books we had...

In room 4, the gang is finishing dinner. Beige: Wow, this curry's hotter than the Fire Caverns. How many chilies did you put in this? Erin: Five. And that's only the minimum. Who's got the yogurt? Scooter: I do. (slides bowl of yogurt over to Beige) Oh, Nora - rehearsals are cancelled...

No, it's not dorky - everyone's like that as kids. The world's out there waiting to be explored, and there's a million solutions to every problem, and there's no such word as "no." Then adulthood rears its ugly head and we get all jaded and cynical. It's like Richard said during the FR wrap...

Welcome to room 4 - somehow we got all our things moved in with a minimum of difficulty, but we fear that the rickshaw we use to haul our things is very nearly on its last legs - er, wheels. But I digress. Main room: Cream-colored walls, wooden floors with area rugs in plum, gold and blue...

I'll bet - there's that one photo of the two of them gleefully mugging for the camera with Junior. And I wonder if Richard competed with the others to see who could make people snort their drinks up their noses, or something like that. That's okay, Frackles - life has a habit of getting in the...

I'm not sure - I read somewhere that this actually doesn't apply to western astrology, which goes more by the seasons than by actual constellations. So it looks like there's a little confusion. According to the usual 12-sign lineup, I'm a Scorpio. But according to this new zodiac, I'm a Libra...

I was six years old when Richard died - I have a really hard time wrapping my brain around the fact that 19 years have passed since then. Here's to ya, Richie. ;)

Well, everyone, tomorrow it will be Jan. 7 again, the 19th (19th? Good grief...) anniversary of Richard's passing. I vote that we all raise a glass of orange juice that day, and aim a few rounds of "Your face!" up at the heavens.

True - you don't change the world by having one person do one big thing. Instead it's a million people doing little things - and those little things add up. We only hear about the people who do bad things - but for every person doing bad, there's a million more doing good things.

Hi, Canadian Fan and Puckrox - welcome aboard! I know the feeling - I learned about Richard's passing when I watched "Muppet Christmas Carol" for the first time, and I definitely remember feeling a sense of loss - I'd only just learned who he was, and that he was the guy who played Scooter and...

And here be part deux, with more singing and souffles, and a few more explosions. --- Muppet Newsflash The Newsman announces UFO sightings over the city. One of the UFOs is revealed to be a soufflé mold, which crashes down and hits the Newsman on the head. Backstage Kermit and...

My first attempt at a TMS outline. I've been meaning to do one of these for a while, as I get my creative juices back in gear for a full-length fanfic. Since it's a tad on the long side, it'll be a two-parter. --- TMS Outline: Nik Kershaw Synopsis: Singer-songwriter Nik Kershaw...

Was it that photo of him in the black and white rugby shirt, with a lobster puppet on his hand? ;) Most awesome that you got a copy - that book's really hard to come by these days. There was a library copy that I'd borrow from time to time...and then we found one of our own on Amazon. Back to...

I know - year after year, you look at the ALA's "Most Challenged Books" list, and you see the same titles appear again and again - Huckleberry Finn, The Color Purple, The Chocolate War, The Catcher in the Rye...sure, sometimes a few new books get added to the list, but it's usually the same...

You want a book that's really a torture? "The Sound and the Fury," by William Faulkner. I had to read that years ago...my advice to you, if anyone approaches you holding that book, is to run very fast in the opposite direction.

Wow, talk shows with The Canterbury Tales...I had an English teacher in high school who encouraged us to do stuff like that. When we read "Death of a Salesman," she asked us to put together a soundtrack - choose songs that we thought would match certain scenes and burn them onto a CD. Same thing...

Same here - because we're so accustomed to what the Muppets did while Jim and Richard were still alive, it feels a little off sometimes to see some of the new material. Yeah, it just felt like the Muppets had been "tamed" a bit in the 90s - there wasn't the same level of gleeful anarchy we saw...
