Time to restart this game. I'll kick it off with M*A*S*H, since I've had that show on the brain quite a bit recently. Hawkeye Pierce: cocky, wisecracking chief surgeon and head prankster Trapper John: Hawkeye's first sidekick and fellow goofball B.J. Hunnicut: Trapper's replacement; a devoted...

Look who's back in town - hi, Carrie, welcome back to the RHLC! Hope you didn't have too much trouble finding us. So true about Richard - and that deafening laugh of his. On one episode of the MuppetCast, Steve said that whenever he asked Muppet cast and crew members about Richard, he could...

Here's what I'd do - I'd tell her, as politely as I can, that some of her questions are getting a little personal. If she doesn't back off, talk to the boss. It sounds like she's making it difficult for you to get work done, and that definitely calls for action.

(gang's in the kitchen making blueberry slump) Erin: (rinsing berries) What's the status report on the dough? Scooter: (looking in flour bin) The flour bin's running on fumes but I think we've got enough. Nora: (rummaging through cabinet) I can't find the cardamom. Storyteller: (creaming the...

Good luck, Sara - we're all rooting for you here!

It's all completely strange and bizarre. At work today, one of the guys - either one of the other reporters or one of the circulation guys - said, "Hey, Farrah Fawcett's died." And the rest of us were all, "Holy cow." When the news broke about Jackson, I was driving home from work - and that...

Thanks for the welcome - we moved up here back at the start of June. We were gunning for sticky status, but in order to get it we had to move shop. So here we are!

Yeah, and people will wonder who the person going to pieces off-camera is. It said somewhere that they wanted to use all live laughter for the Steve Martin show, but because Richard's own laugh was so loud they had to add some canned cackles as well. "Nobody could go up to that level!" And...

Hi, Grace, hi, Amy, nice to meet you both. My name's Erin. I'm going to second frogboy4's comments and say that I was really thrilled to see that Scooter's been cast in one of the lead roles. He's my favorite Muppet and it's really nice to see him get some significant face time again. I also...

Oh, a tisane is just another word for herbal tea, or any tea that doesn't actually contain any tea leaves. The word is tam o'shanter, and it's Scottish instead of Irish, but we'll take the coins anyway. Thanks! ;)

In room 7, Erin is typing away on another story for the paper, Nora's brewing water to make iced blueberry tisane and Storyteller is working on a few epics, while Scooter and Beige are working out a few songs with Scooter's guitar. Storyteller: (scratching through several lines with a quill...

(reading marathon is still going on) Erin: Well, I've hit the 10-hour mark and we're only two days in. Nora: I'm about eight hours, 35 minutes in, and I'm still slogging through Vicar of Wakefield. Scooter: (looking at watch) Six hours, 10 minutes. Let's call a break - and M*A*S*H is on in a...

(chuckle) I like that. See also: the Peter Ustinov episode, and the Valerie Harper episode (especially the Japanese cake sketch)... Richard's got a laugh like a machine gun - I'm amazed they even needed a laugh track when they had Richard on the set. Check out Tough Pigs' main page; they've...

Yeah, they only acknowledge his existence with "Wilson." To them, he's just another cog in the machine, another employee with the Dukes' wingtip prints up and down his back. Just thought of something: you know how a lot of Muppet fans compare Scooter to Radar in M*A*S*H, in that they're the...

Yes, I did. Although, I did turn it off for a while midway through so I could make dinner. But I was back on the sofa, with my bowl of blueberries and cream, with plenty of time before Richard's first scene. Richard was marvelous - when we first see him, he's standing on the sidewalk in front...

That's really nice - and the author's right. A lot of Richard's characters fall into the unsung heroes category. The underrated treasures, if you will. Oh, and Trading Places is on Comedy Central tonight - just came on. So this time I'll be able to watch it!

(Storyteller and Beige have gone down to Fraggle Rock for the weekend, so it's the lone human and the Muppets in room 7 for tonight.) (In Erin and Nora's room, there is a reading marathon going on.) Erin: (sprawled on futon with a pile of books) Pass the eye drops, please. Nora: (sprawled on...

Best of luck, Sara, both on that day and every day after. Do let us know how it goes. Thought I'd mention this just because - on another viewing of Richard's closing remarks at Jim's memorial, it looks like he's got something shiny dangling from his pocket. I think it's a pair of glasses or...

Scooter: (admiring jacket) Wow...that's good work, Boober. Can't even tell where the chemicals hit it. Thanks! Storyteller: Go hang it up before something else happens to it...now, then, is it true that Ed dropped off some fruit for us? Erin: Yeah, they've put in an order for some shakes and...

You're quite welcome. I saw a really good quote on the site bookcrossing.com. I don't remember the exact wording, but it said that you know you really enjoyed a book when you wish you could call the author up on the phone or go out for coffee with him or her. And that's the way it is with...
