    How's the weather where you are?

    Here in Nova Scotia, we have possibly the oddest weather anywhere. So, we get great sun after two weeks of rain, and we just had a tiny rainshower. What's your weather like?

    My Exams

    I've exams coming up over the next week. I have five: Math, Science, Music, English, and Social Studies. Each is too long, too hard, and without enough time to properly complete the exam. They start on Monday, and end on Friday. I get out of school on the 16th. Wish me luck!

    My Cousin's Christening

    Tomorrow I'm driving down to the Annapolis Valley to witness my cousin Lily Margaret Whistler get christened. Now while technically I cannot take part in the ceremony (I'm an atheist) I will still be there to respect my aunt Susan and uncle James. And I'm bringing down a Kermit as a christening...

    TMS Outline: Brian Wilson

    Based on Gorgon Heap's wildly popular fic outlines, I've created one for Brian Wilson. I'll post this in segment intervals. Here goes: (Opening: Backstage. Pops is throwing around a baseball when Brian Wilson enters.) POPS: Ah! Who'r you? BW: Brian Wilson. I'm the guest star tonight! You...

    A question about Palisades' paint

    Why do so many Palisades figures suffer from extremely sticky paint? Dr. Phil, Marvin Suggs and Frog Scout Robin immediately spring to mind. I was always confused about this- is it the style of paint used, the material it's layed on, the color? Any comments on why this sticky paint shows up so...

    RIP Thurl Ravenscroft

    I just found out that voice acting legend Thurl Ravenscroft died of prostate cancer. He was 91. You undoubtedly know Mr. Ravenscroft as the voice of Tony the Tiger, on the Frosted Flakes commercials. He once said, "I'm the only man to make a career out of one word- 'Grrrrreat!'" This...

    On The Buses

    I've started this to ask if anyone else remembers a great series from the early '70s called "On the Buses". This was a British series concerning bus driver Stan and his conductor Jack, and all of their work. It is one of my very favorite shows, and I'm wondering if anyone else around here has...

    A message to certain members

    Please, please stop insulting younger members of the forum. It does nothing for your credibility and makes you look like you really don't care about us. It would be much appreciated if you stopped doing this. A specific example is Kimp the Shrimp. On several occasions you have called HPDJ...

    I'm At 400

    I just passed 400 posts. I'm on my way to becoming a Senior Member! I'd post some mathematical calculations, but I'm too busy spouting Pepe lines from MWoO. "What do these do here, okay?" "Oh, those are my nipples." "Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeuuuuuuu... I FEEL DIRTY!"

    Sword Making Question

    I am making several swords to be used in a film. I was wondering: 1) I am in need of something that can take damage, last a long time and look realistic. Any suggestions for materials? 2) What holds things onto puppets' hands better: airplane glue or screws?

    I wonder how Frank feels...

    I imagine that even though he no longer performs with the Muppets, Frank tuned in to watch MWoO. So, I wonder if his biggest laugh came from Kermit's line: "Gee! Hi, Mr. Oz! By any chance, are you related to FRANK Oz?" I'm sure Frank laughed at that one.

    Regarding Pepe

    Why must we all hate Pepe? I have heard many users of this forum say that Pepe is "killing off the classic Muppets." Not so; in my mind, he has made himself into a classic Muppet. I think that Pepe stole MWoO, and was one of the funnier parts in MFS. He is always there for comic relief, and...

    Ba3c

    BA3C stands for Bobo And Angus Appreciation Club. This is a thread/club designed exclusively for fans of those two great Muppets, Bobo the Bear and Angus Macgonagall the Argyle Gargoyle. I feel that these two Muppets in particular are often overshadowed by the 'core group' of Muppets. So go...

    Idea for a Film- what do you think?

    A friend of mine and I have come up with an idea for a film we think is a real winner. It is called "The History of Mankind (sorta)" and takes a humorous look at evolution, creation, the Middle Ages, the rise of communism, George Bush and just about everything there is to poke a stick at. What...
