    The corny joke thread

    A woman runs to the doctor and says, "Doctor, help me! I'm shrinking!" The doctor says, "Okay, okay, just be a little patient." A man goes to his doctor and says, "Doc, I've swallowed a roll of film." The doctor says, "We'll have to see what to develops." A farmer goes to the doctor with his...

    Remembering Jerry Nelson (July 10, 1934-August 23, 2012)

    Not to mention some SS skits with Jon Stone, Joe Raposo, and Jeff Moss. Jerry Juhl and Jane Henson help out too. RIP to our beloved "J friends."

    How's the weather where you are?

    Just last summer, it was consistently over 100 degrees for at least three weeks where I live. Now it's been close to zero degrees for three weeks. If it gets any colder here in the NY metro area, I'm gonna move permanently to Florida.

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    I've been seeing the new 30-second trailers on TV and on YouTube...it definitely looks like Disney is trying their hardest to get the Muppets out to a larger audience, from the general public fans to the die-hards like us. (Although the Twitter feed spot wasn't all that funny to me after seeing...

    Christmas: Are they shoving it down our throats too early?

    If I may cut in (and not try to change the topic too much), TBBT is like the Killer Rabbit from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. While it has a cute and cuddly exterior, it has some pretty subversive motives. It claims that it has always used science as its foundation, but as the show continues...

    When a Muppet says...

    That reminds me of the English Country Garden song from the Jaye P. Morgan episode: one of the best things Jim and Frank ever did on the Muppet Show. (Rowlf and Fozzie are feverishly playing the piece, and Fozzie's hat falls off.) Rowlf: Hey, can you play hatless? Fozzie Bear: What? Rowlf: I...

    The 'What Song Are You Currently Listening To?' Thread

    Yep, I loved that special as a kid. My favorite song was "It's Christmas Again," which kept getting more hilarious as Elmo's imaginary Christmas-every-day-fantasy world played out. Until everyone became depressed and tired, much to Elmo's disbelief. The other lesson: When you see that the...

    The 'What Song Are You Currently Listening To?' Thread

    Billy Joel "Goodnight Saigon" This song is a breathtakingly beautiful tribute to the Vietnam soldiers. From 1982's Nylon Curtain album.

    The “What did you do today?” thread

    I'm done with my third semester of college, but I have two more days before I go home. So this is the perfect chance to sit in bed, eat cereal, and watch a two-hour Billy Joel concert on YouTube. And nothing more than that.

    Thank you! I have one more final tomorrow at 10 am, and I hope it goes well.

    When you need to rant...

    To the people having a noisy snowball fight outside my dorm building: for heaven's sake, it's finals week, and people are trying to study. SHUT UP AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

    Video: Watch Gordon Ramsay Compete with The Swedish Chef

    And also because this was really about the Muppets, and not about the celebrity guest star. Gordon Ramsey was definitely the reluctant second fiddle player here in the same way that John Cleese and Mark Hamill were on the Muppet Show, which was all the better for us fans of classic Muppet humor...

    What TV series seasons do you have on DVD?

    Sesame Street Old School Volumes 1 & 2 Looney Tunes Golden Collections Volumes 1-6 The Muppet Show Seasons 1-3 I'm hoping to start a Big Bang Theory collection as well. I've only seen the pilot, the season 2 finale, and the first five episodes from season 3 (as part of a marathon on TV). But...

    Most Underused Muppets?

    One of the last Muppets I expected to see in the Gordon Ramsey Muppisode was Pops. I'm very glad that he's been brought back (by Matt Vogel, if I'm not mistaken), since he hasn't had a major speaking role in many years. I hope to see him and other rare Muppets again in other Muppet-related projects.

    The 'What Song Are You Currently Listening To?' Thread

    Sorry about the double post, but this is kind of a rare thing for me: listening to soul music: George Benson, Patti Austin, James Ingram, Luther Vandross, Lionel Richie, and the Commodores. Right now, I'm listening to the classic "Brick House."

    Songs you love!

    Besides the artists I mentioned in my previous post, I am really into most music from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Like this classic tune by Wham:

    How's the weather where you are?

    First snowfall of the season here in New York City! I sang "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!" all the way home. :)
