    Death and the Matron

    Part Seventeen (denouement) “Thank you! You’re too kind. For my next trick…” Gina did her best to maintain the fake smile on her face, but her thought at that exact moment was that the scattered, hesitant applause from the audience really was too kind. It had taken Mumford no less than seven...

    Death and the Matron

    Part Sixteen (II) Grandmama Angie stormed across the street, ignoring the cars screeching and honking like angry geese. Gina hurried after her, and a very amazed Mumford brought up the rear. “The dead have no right to bother the living! What, didn’t he remember to turn all the mirrors to the...

    Death and the Matron

    Part Sixteen (I) When she was six years old, Gina learned how to dupe the gadje. Grandmama Angie played the neighborhood numbers game, and usually won; she was a startlingly shrewd poker player, even among the men of their small community of Rom; and she could dukker the gadje with the best...

    Fan Fiction: Muppet Beach Party

    ----------------------------------------- Lady Ru told me to come read this because it was fun. She's right. :) Best parts? CLAMAPELLA! And I just love the mental image of Animal surfing and yelling "WIPEOUT" at the other surfers, everyone tumbling into the waves in total shock...very cute...

    NEW Disney Marvel MUPPET comics!

    ---------------------------------------- Dropped by the best comic shop in town a week or so ago. They still had SOME of the 1st ed BOOM Muppet titles (and I bought one, "Family Reunion"), but unfortunately not the 1st issue...but they did also have one copy left of the new reissue (with the...

    One Reality Exploitation Show Down...

    ----------------------------------- It's all blood and circuses. Depressed plebes desperate to point at someone else and think, "Well at least I'm not THEM!" It's all pathetic and depressing. I refuse to be in the same room with any of it, any time. -------------------------------------

    Deja vu all over again

    -------------------------------- "Corporate socialism"...yes. Well put! I'm less concerned about the next pres election (frankly, I have yet to see anyone who looks like a real challenger on the Repub side) than I am the Congressional elections the next couple of years. Yes, the Dems aren't...

    BOO! The "What Scared You Today?" Thread

    ---------------------------------- Crickets I can handle, especially the soft brown ones. Used to feed those to my pet lizard when I had one...and they make EXCELLENT live cat toys! :eek: ------------------------------------

    Life According to Tom

    ------------------------------------- Nice...but what we really NEED is an Ingmar Bergman style film, in black and white and with lots of looooong pauses with various Muppet foods standing around looking mournful...and really, really bad overdubbing! :) -------------------------------------

    Your Thoughts: New Muppet Central Forum Features

    --------------------------------- I'm mostly adjusted to the new Forum...but I STILL deplore the fact that there aren't well-defined text boxes or ANYTHING that really separates posts from one another! Please, o mighty Admin, can't you do anything about this?? ----------------------------

    BOO! The "What Scared You Today?" Thread

    -------------------------------------- To preface: I have a deep and abiding revulsion for bugs. This is not a phobia; phobias are irrational by definition. I have a lifetime of involuntary empirical data-gathering behind this statement: bugs are out to get me. As a kid in Tampa, giant roaches...

    Death and the Matron

    Part Fifteen (II) The Newsman gaped at the hooded figure. It leaned down, glaring with glowing balls of light deep within black sockets, and about the time it dawned on him that this wasn’t the Death, merely a death, it rapped on a small electronic screen and shook a bony fist at him. “STOP...

    Death and the Matron

    Part Fifteen (I) Nothing moved in the long galleries full of waxen people. The trio of Velocimuppets prowled slowly, chirp-growling to one another: Not here. Not there. Nothing to report. Had they been able to sniff anything still, the Muppets hidden cleverly among the displays of Eastern...
