Well, I got an A on the ten-page paper part of the assignment, so there is hope. But honestly, I hate doing oral presentations. (though I think it's a safe bet the class will get a giggle out of the clips I've chosen)

Yeah, it was hinted somewhere that the reason there wasn't much back-stabbing among the performers was that they had an available outlet (read: the Muppets) for all their assorted stresses. It was a very fortunate day, when Richard met Jim and the others. The door to the audition room opens...

Very true. Like they say in the REM song, "Everybody hurts...sometimes." It is rather haunting to see someone who's usually cheerful and fun-loving in public, show a sad side in private. I mean...again, look at what Kevin Clash said in the MuppetCast tribute, about when the guys were gathered...

Lights are dimmed in most parts of room 7. Classical music is playing on the stereo, and the gang is curled up on sofa or in armchairs. Storyteller: (casting a glance at the dozing Muppets and lone human) Beige...put that next disc on, the one that says "Harmony and Mood Music." Beige: Sure...

Agreed...Sara, you've been through a lot lately, and over the last year or so. If it'll make you feel any better, I've been under a lot of stress lately too, due to academics and job hunting. Sure, it's not as serious as what you've got, but it's still a pain. In the meantime, here's something...

Wow...that's really sad, Sara. These have got to be some really rough times for you. Just remember that we're here whenever you need to vent, okay?

I had one in which the Muppets were on the stage of the Muppet Theater. They were wearing the silver, blue and purple tuxes from TMTM, and they started to sing "We Got Us."

Storyteller: (sorting through a box of epics) Really! Dr. Teeth, you know that cursing's not permitted around here! Beige: (reading Dustrag Monthly) It is? I didn't know that. Nora: (working on French homework) Well, you could try, I guess...but it just gets bleeped out by asterisks. Erin...

"She was the best whack-a-baller, the best tug-a-tailer, the best rock climber...the best!" That's a really spot-on sketch - great job!

According to Jerry Nelson (I think), when they started those last two episodes of Fraggle Rock, everyone started crying. In a later interview, Gerry Parkes said, "I miss my Sprocket," and Karen Prell said that all the cast members, especially Richard Hunt, were sad that they didn't get to do the...

I know that Jocelyn Stevenson was the head writer for "The Honk of Honks," and it's a safe bet that she and Richard had quite a few conversations over how certain scenes should go. It's a very dramatic episode, not at all like a "typical" scene in a children's show. And it is a real turning...

Oh, me too...after all, I rully do want to see Richard's first crack at the directorial bat. I did notice something, in what I've seen of "The Honk of Honks:" During that big scene in which Doc hears that Ned is sick, and he and Gobo meet each other for the first time, the camera angles are...

Scooter: (looking at radio) Server's still not working...what's with the Chamberlain? Beige: Well, whad'ya expect, he's a Skeksis. Erin: True, true...that schism from the Mystics probably did something. Nora: I'll bet...but you said the radio's still not working? I'd like to hear more...

I know; it's really interesting how the Muppets, who are sometimes written off as being pieces of foam and fleece, can project feelings and emotions that many human actors are incapable of. And as we've said, it's often easy to forget that there are humans down below the Muppets, giving them...

Don't make me throw something at you, Marty! :smirk: ;) But honestly, man, most dress shoes for women are wicked uncomfortable. Since I (along with the rest of my family) am a fast, determined walker, I need to wear comfortable shoes. (I think in the UK and Commonwealth nations, they're...

Well, for Muppet Wiki, I'm using my MC handle. For the main Wikipedia, I'm using a different name. Some profs let us use Wikipedia for research projects, but others (mostly in the English dept.) forbid it on pain of death. (Or pain of F.)

(Meanwhile, three separate sing-alongs are in process in room 7.) Erin: (singing) Step by step, Nora: (singing) Heart to heart, Both: Left right left, we all fall down...like toy soldiers. Scooter: (singing) It's poetry in motion, Beige: (singing) When she turns her eyes to me... Both: It's...

I don't have as much of a shoe fetish as other women...for me, my fetish is for books. Most of my shoes are sneakers, and the ones that I have on, my blue-striped Adidas, are what I wear pretty much every day.

(A care package has been delivered to Lisa's door. It contains a bottle of swamp moss soothing gel from Beige, a covered bowl of chocolate pudding from Storyteller, a couple of joke books from Scooter and a new lap desk from Nora and Erin.) Nora: How's the headache, Erin? Erin: I think it's...

Go right ahead, heralde; some of the world's greatest thinkers and do-ers were contrary at times. ;) Yeah, some of the stuff on Wikipedia can be hit and miss...but when it's well-written and researched, it's really worth your time.
