    Blintzes in Birdland

    7. The next afternoon, Zoot had only just arrived when a man in a green suit with a darker green tie stopped him by the back door to the theatre. “You’re Mr Zoot? Did I pronounce that right?” Wary, Zoot stepped back, looking the much taller man up and down. “That’s me.” What did they think...

    6. They got upstairs somehow, though Effie seemed tired and Zoot had never been one to hustle. Scooter had the stagepigs move the baby grand out onto the stage. A simple, starry background covered the area behind the piano, and soft lights shone down on the two musicians, old and young, as they...

    Blintzes in Birdland

    5. When the action onstage allowed for him to slip away quietly, Zoot gingerly moved through the backstage area. As he started slowly down the stairs for the green room, he heard laughter and chatter below, but none of it seemed to be in a Dutch accent. Frowning, he continued down, and saw...

    4. “Hey, man, we gonna practice or what?” Zoot asked Rowlf, feeling a little irritated. The dog had been laying on the cool floor of the green room for the past half-hour, periodically groaning, with a cold compress on his head and a bandage on his nose. Rowlf had come in late, too; it would be...

    3. Monday was their off day. Zoot spent it in Central Park, sitting on a bench, feeding pigeons birdseed. He knew the birds could be a nuisance, but all the same, the sound of them fluttering around, graceless but determined, always calmed him…inspired him. That such goofy-looking birds could...

    Blintzes in Birdland

    2. During the Sunday matinee, he found himself having trouble concentrating on the tunes. He didn’t have much of a part that day, certainly nothing artistically challenging, and it was easy to let his mind wander. His eyes drifted as much as his thoughts, until both were arrested by the same...

    Blintzes in Birdland

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Admittedly, the sax player wasn’t the most observant person when it came to his surroundings. His life was his music. Everything else, he’d either learned to let slide by without troubling...

    Blintzes in Birdland

    AUTHOR'S PREFACE: I wrote this last night strictly to try and cheer up an MC member who's been under the weather...no other reason. Any errors in canon are unintentional and should be overlooked. : >)

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not a bad idea...I think my housemates are already fixing roasted chicken and salad instead of pizza... but I've only just started watching "FR" (missed out completely when it first aired) and have three more discs...

    Your Thoughts: New Muppet Central Forum Features

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- There. A LINE that separates posts. Those of us with poor eyesight (and quite a few others, I'm betting) HATE the crowded, post-on-top-of-post look. I encourage anyone else who is as irritated with that as I am to do...

    The Darkwing Duck Thread

    I may have one-up on some of you. Who else here bought a box of the cute little Valentine cards with DW to give away at school? I did. In college. Happily, most of my friends were used to my weirdness already, and most of the profs thought it was cute... Lettin' the Nerd Flag fly...

    MSTies unite!

    If you're watching Beast, make it a double-header with Red Zone Cuba by the same (and I use this term loosely) director. No, my next additions will be two I really need: Manos and Mitchell! The Green Slime Marty gave me was a convention bootleg, and more Joel and Frank and Trace and Josh...

    Okay...this is REALLY hurting my eyes to read. It's too ****** LOUD and BRIGHT and CHEERFUL! I shouldn't have to adjust my screen brightness or contrast for ONE site, ya know? And how does one set the threads to go automatically to the NEWEST post, so you don't have to then TELL it to skip...

    Ok...to preface: I know nothing about programming, so maybe this really is the smoothest, easiest format from a behind-the-scenes standpoint...BUT. Can someone PLEASE put frickin' boxes or borders or whatever around each post on a thread? I mean VISIBLE ones, not this weird ghostline...it makes...

    So...spent my Memorial Day in MSTie heaven...sorta... First, watched "Catalina Caper," and realized I really should've asked Marty for a copy of "Jungle Goddess" to put with it for an If Republicans Ruled the World Double Feature. Best lines: "I think they sent the wrong people to 'Nam...

    Fan Mail of the Past

    Funny...I was just looking through my MST fan club stuff last night! Though I got mine from the address in HOPkins, MN (to voice Tom Servo-style) flashed on at the end of every ep. I still have numerous collected newsletters and things. Surely there are shows which still advertise fan club...
