Uh-huh. And WHERE are you going to get the money for a mop when you're off buying well-crafted urns? Y'see, THIS is the kind of "money sense (cents?)" that got us INTO this recession...
Therefore, Prawnie, I blame you for the fact that I don't have a job.
Written... between two freckles?
...Waaaaaait a second. If the winners are written on your ARM, how do you know you're reading the right winner for the right award?
And how do we know you wrote stuff on your arm based on the votes, and not your own whims?
HOW do we know you didn't just...
<comes in and sits on a cardboard box next to the stage> <box breaks> <...sits on the floor> Oh, for goodness SAKE, Beau! <shields eyes> There have GOT to be laws against that...
Oh! Why thank you, both of you!
I have been thinking of this tale lately... in the sense of, "Oh, gee, I should get back to that one... Oh look! Homework! Wait--my roommate wants to go out for donuts? SURE!"
This is quickly shaping up to be a hectic semester, but if I DO find myself...
Lisa: <flips through textbook> <groans> You're KIDDING...
Rowlf: Hmm?
Lisa: NINETY-TWO? I have to read to page NINETY-TWO? <groans> <rubs forehead> There is NO WAY I can read to page NINETY-TWO of this... TEDIUM... AND take notes on it, AND create TWO blogs, all by class on Wednesday, AND get...
I've been over the river and through the woods, at Grandmother's house! She makes the most WONDERFUL pistachio cake. Well, alright, she doesn't make it, but she's very good at buying it. She always asks me about the blanket I'm making, too, which always makes me feel so guilty for not finishing...
To expand on Prawnie's above explanation...
The biggest muffiner, "muffin" being the MC term for taking a thread off-topic in a fun, funny way. My favorite example of this is an old one, but in a thread discussing where the actual Muppet puppets are kept, once the question was answered, a...
Lisa: Mmm! Thank ye muchly, Ed! <nibbles chocolate chip cookie> I think I got it. It's morbid, but I think I got it.
Rowlf: What's it about?
Lisa: Suicide by shellfish.
Rowlf: <double take>
Lisa: <shrug> Hey, I said it was morbid.
Rowlf: ...Have you considered getting professional help...
Rowlf: <plucking a few notes out on his piano> I wonder how long until we move in...
Chef: <shuffles cards... in a bowl, with a wisk, and sings> Hoo gumta noo woon to hoodem... Noo woon to foodem!
Rowlf: <picks up the tune> Know when to walk away... and know when to run...
Chef: Yoo noobin...
<Cracks. UP!> Oh dear LORD! The award for most creative way to build suspense TOTALLY goes to the prawn! Hilarious as ever, Prawnie. "Idiot" as a term of endearment... Piggy takes care of business... Shaken, not stirred! And the armor, and Gonzo, and character writing 101, and and and and and...
Hi Jim!
It's the start of a new semester here in college-land, and I was just wondering... Did you know that you're on a college course syllabus? It's true! Right there, on the same page as Hans Christian Andersen, Walt Disney, the Grimm Brothers, that Aesop guy... In fact, you're on the same...
Can't believe this little tale's four years old already. <Sniff> They grow up so fast!
A lot's changed in four years, but I'm still fond of this one. Meant to bump it at the start of Hannukah... which is now over... Oh well. :p Happy Holidays, MC.
Hey Jim! As we enter finals week here at my school and I've got two big papers that still need writing, I've got a question... What's your favorite thing to do to procrastinate? (Besides answering our questions, of course.)
Also... Which essay question should I answer for my Drama final...
So... I was over at TP, and I started drooling over that AMAZING picture of Sweetums, Robin, Rizzo, and Pepe... which, by the way, is officially going to be the background of my computer at somepoint in the near future... And I saw, in the background, out of focus, Thog.
And you, sir, are a...
What theprawncracker is thankful for! (His internet's acting up. It's his article. I just posted it.)

Happy Thanksgiving!
Hiya Jim!
First of all, thank you for saying in the last batch of questions that you don't consider the Muppets to be post-modern. I personally associate post-modernism with a class I took on how to think straight while reading the most non-sensical words ever written, which of course claim...
