Good call. It's good to treat yourself every now and then. The zine is available on Max's site, and it's also at the Bluestockings bookstore in New York. Since I live across the river in New Jersey, I picked my copy up in person on one of my forays into the city. To all the RHLC members in the...

Storyteller: (fanning self) I'm melting... Scooter: It's a shame we don't have space flights to Mercury or Venus - both of those would be cooler. Beige: Can someone pass more of that iced tangerine tea? Nora: Hang on. (peels self off of sofa, passes the pitcher over) Need a glass? Beige: Who...

That, I'm afraid, I wouldn't have picked up. I love Genesis, natch, but I'm not really well-versed in their album art. Now, if you were to show me, say, the steel armadillo from Tarkus, I'd have recognized it in a nanosecond. Ah, geekdom. :) Something else, something that will be of interest to...

Cobbler? It's a dessert, fruit baked under a layer of biscuit dough. It's really good. Yeah, "Of Muppets and Men" is really hard to come by. My copy came in through Amazon - but I've learned that for some items, Amazon can be hit-and-miss sometimes.

Same here - when I was a kid, sometimes my parents would stop me from putting a large amount of money in the collection basket during Mass. You know, the whole story with the blue rollie reveals something about us. The Fraggles love their rollies, which are shiny pebbles, but they're willing...

Storyteller: Telescope? Scooter: Check. Storyteller: Star guide? Erin: Check. Storyteller: Big pitchers of lemonade and blueberry tisane? Nora: Check. Storyteller: Boxes of cookies? Beige: Check with a capital C. Storyteller: Quilt? Erin: That's you. Storyteller: Lovely. To the roof, everyone...

Now what's wrong with giving money to animal shelters and AIDS foundations? It's really amazing to read about how Richard was so generous - and not just with concrete things, like picking up the tab at dinner or buying little gifts and presents for everyone. It's also with heart - we've seen...

Ah, the joys of owning a pet. At least your cat just eats the rug - our dog keeps jumping the kennel fence. Her name is Sonja, but one of her nicknames these days is Pogo. :) Jessica Max Stein, she who did the zine about Richard, just did a very sweet interview with Jerry Nelson. I don't have...

That's a really poignant dream, Fletchy - and come to think of it, some of us around here have had dreams like that, getting to meet Richard toward the end of his life. Someone - might have been Marianne but don't quote me on that - had a dream where Richard was staying at a cabin in upstate New...

Oh, super! Before the tumblr, the only place you could find the clips of Scooter narrating TMTM was on the site Muppet Musique - and that got pulled after the site's owner got a cease and desist letter from Disney. It's nice to see that it's available again somewhere - thanks!

Nora: Scooter... Scooter: Okay, all right, I made a mistake. (corrects room number on message) Erin: (stopping the mixer) One Boston Scream for Ed and the gang in room 1. And yes, we got the cookies - thanks a mil. Storyteller: All right, who wants what next? We've got the makings for...

Erin: (hauling ice cream maker out of its box) Well, let's see how the old clunker works this time. Storyteller: It certainly looks better. When did it come in? Scooter: Yesterday - Luis said all he had to do was put in some new gears and an O-ring - and put the casing back together. Nora...

Yeah, let's face it. The Muppet performers may be in touch with their inner children, but that hasn't stopped them from using some very adult words from time to time. But still, whenever I read a quote by Frank or Richard or Jerry or one of the others, and it contains some off-color language...

Hope the re-mix goes all right, Mr Devco. It's really annoying when you're midway through a huge project and you have to start all over again. How are the other mixes coming along?

Beige: (hears Ed handing out cookies) What's this about cookies? If you've got any to hand, we'll swap you some for some ice cream. (looks over shoulder at the sound of shrieking gears) That is, if we can get the ice cream maker going again. (in the kitchen, the others are grimly surveying the...

I had a (sort of) dream about Richard after the big SST at 40 event at William Paterson University last year. It was after midnight, I was trying to get to sleep, but I was too wired - finally had to get up and make some chamomile tea. But I'm rambling - as I finally fell asleep, I had a vision...

Last night, I finished "Seven Years in Tibet," by Heinrich Harrer. Beautiful book - I definitely recommend it. Today, I started on "Night Train to Lisbon," by Pascal Mercier.

Cool stuff, way cool stuff! "Yeah, you can barely tell them apart!" I agree; it's really nice to picture Jim and the gang together in heaven - sometimes, around here, we visualize them sitting on clouds, watching what's going on down here with the Muppets, swapping jokes, discussing life, that...

Something crunchy dipped in hummus - carrots, pita chips, etc.

Way cool, Gelfling Girl! When I was in elementary school, my class did a pen pal project with a class at another school. Didn't last long, though. Good call, Fletchy - but if Richard zapped somebody with a water pistol, I imagine that Jim and the others would be more than happy to drench him...
