    Bad Baby Names

    This isn't really a baby name, it's a last name. You won't believe this... At one of my previous jobs, there were three people there whose last name was...Chicken. That's right, Chicken. Think of those poor people: "How are the kids, Mrs. Chicken?" You'd half expect them to reply...

    A Giant Frog!!!

    The site that picture is from has a whole bunch of weird cryptozoology pictures in it. Some are hoaxes, some could be real, and some are just for fun. Think of the Muppety captions we cut put under the following pictures: (Scene in a museum): "And here we have a skull from the ancient...

    What music are you listening to?

    "Calliandra Shade" by Ian Anderson Say Jellyman Kelly, is your signature from an old Sesame Street sketch? I was wondering because I was going through an old tape and came across an old "B" sketch. It kind of reminded me of your signature. Would you mind telling me where it's from? BTW...

    Favorite Telly moments?

    Other Telly Moments... I remember one sketch where Telly was pretending to be a firefighter. He pretended there was a fire in Hooper's Store and squirted (whipped cream I think) on David's bagel. The whipped cream was Telly's "fire extinguisher". David looked at the big blob of whipped cream...

    Do threads and posts ever expire?

    Oh, I forgot to mention what I was looking for. Someone on the Forum (I'm not sure who) had asked if Miss Piggy had toes or not. I thought I had found the answer, but I couldn't remember which MC member had asked. The title of the thread was "Miss Piggy: Head to Toe, You Know?" I'm positive...

    Were Cantus & the Minstrels based on anyone

    Well, I think I have a guess as to where they got the name "Cantus" from. The "Cantus Firmus" is the principle voice in Gregorian chants. In some dictionaries, "Cantus" means "the principle voice in song". I'm not sure about the other minstrels, though. Terry Angus performed Brio the...

    Do threads and posts ever expire?

    I had a question about threads in general. Do they ever expire after a certain amount of time? I know threads get closed down for different reasons, but I was wondering if there was a certain "lifespan" for any MC post. The reason I wondered was that I think I had found the answer to a...

    Three Uncle Deadley Figures Announced

    Thanks for the help, Count. I hadn't heard about the figures clearing customs, but then again, there's a lot of the folks here on the Forum who are much more in-the-know about the figures than I am. I must have missed that announcement. As for the credit card suggestion, I paid with my figures...

    Scarecroe's Files

    Oh, so that's what happened. I didn't know. That's too bad the site's gone. I just liked looking at all the rare clips and stuff on it. The Ernie and the Ice Cream Cone Man bit was one of my favorite clips from that site. :p "I want a chocolate, strawberry, peach, vanilla, banana...

    Three Uncle Deadley Figures Announced

    Has anyone got the new Uncle Deadly figures yet? I pre-ordered mine ages ago, and the site says they will be shipping in "June '05", but I haven't gotten mine yet. Anyone else got their Uncle Deadlies? Convincing John

    Mary Roos on TMS

    Hey everyone, I saw a clip on Scarecroe's site that had a guest on the Muppet Show named Mary Roos. I believe it was the German translation of the show, but I had never seen it before. Unfortunately, the clip (and Scarecroe's file site) is down or moved now and I can't find the link. I...

    My Theory On Elmo

    Hey, thanks for reading my posts and commenting on the Joe Raposo songs. He and Jeff Moss were very talented indeed. One comment, though: the version of "Air" you typed up was sung by Guy Smiley. Bip Bipadotta had a different version of "Air". Both are great, educational songs though...

    What's your favorite Grover sketch?

    I think this photo might help. Grover wasn't in this sketch...well, until it was re-used on Play With Me Sesame. Here's a link to the photo: http://mfiles.scarecroe.com/clapscat.jpg I thought there was an audio of the clip somewhere too, but I can't find it right now. But I'll tell you...

    Jim Henson's Santa Fe Ranch

    I thought I had read somewhere that Jim Henson owned a ranch in or near Santa Fe, New Mexico at one time. Anyone else ever heard of this? Just curious. Convincing John

    Official SW3 Thread - DO NOT READ - SPOILERS!!!

    From a recent interview, Samuel L. Jackson requested a purple lightsaber from George Lucas, and he's the only Jedi who had a purple saber. I think Jackson was on David Letterman's show when he mentioned that. Convincing John
