File this one under Wishful Thinking: I dreamed that Steve (Swanson, of MuppetCast) had gotten a hold of a tape containing a phone interview with Richard Hunt.

Hi, welcome to the club, wemblingalong. This is definitely the place to go if you're a Richard Hunt fan. Ah...buncha grown men clucking like chickens. A clear case of fowl play. I'm all done save for one exam Friday, so I can come in and chat some more. Well done, heralde, and nice to...

I've played more computer games than video games in my life, but I'll throw those in. I've mentioned this before, but one of my very favorite series is the King's Quest series.

Okay, let's see... Dr. Light: Dr. Bunsen Honeydew Dr. Wily: Uncle Deadly Mega Man: Scooter Roll: Skeeter Cut Man: Gonzo Guts Man: Sweetums Bomb Man: Crazy Harry Fire Man: Animal Elec Man: Digit Mets or Hardhats: Doozers Big Eye: The Mighty Favog Rock Monster Robot: Large Marvin Fraggle Bubble...

(staggers in with aching brain) Hi, everyone...for me, the worst part of finals week is over, since just over an hour ago, I dropped off my 20-page food-and-the-Muppets paper (with drafts, notes and other project components) in the box on my professor's door. I've still got lots to do, but...

(sign appears on door) We, the occupants of room 7, are about to become a little more elusive as three of us (Erin, Scooter and Nora) embark on a wicked grueling finals week, and as the other two (Storyteller and Beige) act as support staff. We'll try to poke our heads out once in a while, we...

Nice story about the peony, heralde! It sounds like the one you saw was similar to one of the types in my mom's garden at home. Guys, you might not be seeing much of me between now and Wednesday night, due to three take-home exams and one 20-page paper. So in case I can't pop in during my few...

Biff's going on about how you can't keep anger bottled up inside, but he's totally oblivious to how Sully's trying to say that he's angry. Irony... In the meantime, I'm backed up with exams and final papers... Oh, and I won't be having a Scooter figure on my mortarboard at commencement...

(in room 7) Storyteller: And let's see...(pointing around the room) Beige is in a rage over a security report, ten-page. Scooter can't make the computer do a re-booter, Erin's writer's block is flarin,' and her stereo is blarin,' And Nor's feeling poor, 'cause her wrists are so sore. Nora...

All right! Let's see, questions, questions, questions...I'll e-mail any that I've got. But wow...can't wait to hear what Jane has to say about those five wonderfully nutty kids of hers, especially the second kid (and first son). That show will be a much-needed interlude during exam week -...

Yeah, Scooter's stuck with the usual problem of being a teenager: too old to be the center of all the adults' attention, and too young to (according to the adults) to take on big responsibilities. It's the same at every family reunion. The littlest kid always gets all the attention, and the...

Time to bump the thread up, we're slipping... Yeah, Tug's kind of the lovable, dim type - Richard played a lot of those in his career, along with the tough guys, the smart-alecks, and the brainy but still endearing types. And yes, why did Scooter get stuck with minding the manic little...

I agree; I definitely see a bit of a resemblance between Gobo and Scooter. And I see where the hair would suggest a connection between Scooter and Red. ;) :smirk: :excited:

Nope, he and the others drew the plans according to someone else's designs. The blame falls on H&W for using sub-par iron for the rivets, the crew for not getting the message about icebergs in the area up to the bridge on time, and the company director for wanting the Titanic to make a...

Yeah...when I was a kid, I thought it was so cool, knowing the Titanic was part of my family history. But, things didn't work out so rosy: after the ship sank and everyone at the shipyard got sacked (and besides, it was tough being Catholic in that part of Belfast in those days), he moved the...

Well, here's mine: On my mother's side: Irish, English (maybe), Austrian, Hungarian (pretty much all over Hapsburg turf), Russian, Ukrainian. On my father's side: German, Swiss. My maternal great-great grandfather in County Antrim was a draftsman for Harland and Wolff...and he helped...

Water polo in the living room...wonder what that must have looked like? It's kinda funny, ya know, to hear Richard shift back and forth between Tug's voice and Scooter's voice. (And wow, Scooter's really putting on the tough act in that scene. "Get down in that basement!")

(room 7: Scooter and Erin are tuning up guitars, Beige has a set of bongos, and Nora is going through vocal warmups with a microphone) Storyteller: (adjusting settings on stereo, and playing notes on Fraggle flute) All right, time for another musical moment, from Club Sept. Beige: So which...

Ah. As for me, I worked in a bit of discussion about how the Muppets could be a continuation of Theater of the Absurd, and cited the work of Eugene Ionesco (whom I have to do a paper on for another class - in French) as an example. The prof recommended that I also look at the work of Rabelais...

Oooh...a paper on Doozer law? My head hurts just thinking about that. The talk went well; I showed "The Banana Boat Song," two Swedish Chef clips (the Japanese cake and the bread dough) and "Never Smile At a Crocodile." I think the Swedish Chef ones were the most popular (at least, I heard the...
