Yeah it's the old Snuffleupagus Syndrome. For whatever reason, these adults choose to accept certain strange things while ignoring others, lol.

That's true, comedy albums has taken a dip in popularity in recent years.

I think you're right! According to Muppet Wiki, Richard typically played the brother. Personally, I could kinda tell by the body language (as we've discussed earlier hehe). I like what they did to the voices in those Twiddlebugs sketches, it's just so funny lol. And it must be weird to hear...

Ohh, duh, I thought you meant they didn't like us talking about the toothgap thing, lol. Ok, yeah I understand the objection to the audio clips. It's a tricky issue, but I do think we have tried to be respectful. As for threads dedicated to one performer, again I think it depends on the content...

One thing I've learned when hunting for Muppet stuff, is sometimes if you don't act quickly, you will miss opportunities. And on top of that, you have to keep your financial priorities in mind lol.

I do think it's a good point, the early '90s sketches would be considered old now, and classic to some. And I don't mind them being shown. But the fact that the '80s and '70s sketches are older, doesn't (and shouldn't) mean they are no longer worthy of viewing. Kids aren't going around saying...

Oh that is so sweet!

Yeah you're right, on to happier things! ;) Really? Huh, that's interesting. You mean like anything like "teeny bopper silly"? You know what? Richard's attitude makes me feel better about my own slightly annoying toothgaps! Lol Yup, I do like love his smile. Kinda random, but I have...

Oh dear, court room dramas! Good luck with everything. :) Those were very moving words, MN! ;) I do hesitate to post this because I don't entirely know if it's true. It's just one person's word. This message is from a regular person posting on Google groups in December 1992 (Wow, it was...

Lol, well of course, he was very cute. Especially in this classic photo: http://www.muppetcentral.com/articles/tributes/hunt/fanarticle8.shtml

Oh ok cool, just wanted to make sure you weren't turned off by the slightly darker topic. I'm also occasionally drawn to serious conversation. Great that you like discussing all the issues and you made a good point. ;)

Congrats and many more! :)

Yeah hope that wasn't too heavy, most of the time we're pretty light hearted here. But occasionally we get into deeper topics. ;) I know, I can't imagine what it's like to know your life will be cut short, and you will miss all the things that come with increasing age. But his attitude is very...

You're probably right, I think it was an example of turning a negative (and a very big one) into a positive. I think most people really have no idea what to say at memorials/funerals. Most of us don't have to deal with the issue of death in our daily lives (knock wood). Even if they want to be...

My friends and I actually had to negotiate a bit, because I prefered not to see the more modern projects when they did, heh. In the end, we've mostly watched the older projects (which we all like) and have decided to compromise with Muppet Christmas Carol, which I don't mind so much, it does...

Well it is often said that we learn more through struggle than we do from success. That sometimes we have to go through a dark, terrible tunnel before we can come out the other end. :) Ever heard of the movie Brian's Song? About a real life football player who died of Cancer. The final line of...

Oh that's cool, still a very important issue. :) Yeah I can't imagine how all that must feel. Having already lost friends and anticipating his own fate. And then Jim dies out of nowhere. They weren't entirely sure what would happen to the Muppets at that time. Not to get too personal, but I...

Oh man, "On Eagle's Wings" is one of the best songs ever. Not sure if I've heard "Stewards of Creation", I'll have to research that. I'd say a little of both, rehearsed and off the cuff. He probably had at least an idea of what he wanted to say before hand. Well I can understand why someone...

Thanks, Skye and MN! I was pleasantly surprised to find that most of the points made in his speech were echoed in The Bible and made some very nice correlations. Whether this goes well or not, I'm very grateful to have gotten the opportunity. It helped me understand the speech,The Bible, and our...

Oh boy! Um, well it looks like I'll be running the Bible study group at my Church tomorrow (I've actually known for a few days, but it just really hit me now!). I decided I wanted to share just a little bit of the speech Richard gave at Jim's memorial. A few of my friends really like the idea. I...
