    How about the debate between Crow and Servo after "Mr B Natural" when Tom does a great William F Buckley bit? Joel threatens him with a point reduction for it. Or the Torgo's Pizza Guy... Hey Count, my friend Marty Ketola (indie filmmaker, look him up on IMDB, good stuff) is my MSTie...

    Part 23 Rizzo tossed things out of the dumpster, disgruntled at how few food items had been discarded after the kitchen explosion. “Man…you’d think at least the chocolate chips would’ve wound up here,” he grumbled. “Hey, rat,” said a voice. Rizzo stuck his head up over the lip of the...

    The rest of the theatre lightbulb jokes (the ones I know, at least): How many actors does it take to change a light bulb? Three. One to change the bulb, two to stand around sniffing, "I could have done that better!" How many divas does it take to change a light bulb? Two. One to reach for...

    The... -wait fer it-... "What made you laugh today?" Thread

    Was laughing obnoxiously loud last night while rewatching Mystery Science Theatre 3K's "Escape 2000". I could easily picture Newsie at the press conference the evil corporation head holds to show off his plan to get people to Leave the Bronx so he can erect shiny new buildings. Scary chick...

    Sooo...after the Count made some remarks to me yesterday concerning foreign chocolate bars and RAM chips, I suddenly felt hungry for a Toblerone. So I popped in Mystery Science Theatre 3K's "Escape 2000" and laughed my scrawny yellow butt off for a couple of hours. I hadn't watched it in years...

    Part 22 Beauregard insisted he didn’t need any help hammering down the newly-cut boards to patch the hole in the stage floor, and to Kermit’s queries about why the trip had taken so long, he only said, “You know, Kermit, you just can’t take some people out in public!” Beaker, of course, was no...

    Thank you both! Very happy people are enjoying this as I've having a blast writing it. Completed ch. 26 very early this morning (I usually write on allnighters), in which I am proud to say I used not only an oblique reference to something Miss Ru wrote about Scribbler which I found funny, but...

    (really big doofy grin, which looks even sillier beneath the specs...) Thankyou! RAMCHIPS NOM NOM NOM... Actually, I had NO IDEA anyone here even knew what a Violet Crumble bar was. A friend of mine IRL likes them. Glad to know that tidbit relates. I just wondered what kind of candy Beaker...

    Dreams about Muppets...

    You guys are messin' with my head, I swear... This morning, at the end of a much longer dream I can't recall, I was standing in someone's driveway with a basketball hoop over the garage with Gonzo and some (real) chickens and some jock with the personality of Link Hogthrob (though it wasn't...

    Part 21 At nearly eleven-thirty, feeling much as though she’d been released from indenture, Gina walked out of the lobby of the Sosilly. It had been a very long rehearsal with many overcomplicated discussions between the director and the diva playing Lady Macbeth, which held up the entire thing...

    Hey! Don't bogart that ice cream! Pass it over! :insatiable: Count sir, this next chapter contains an extended cameo I put in just for you...and once that character was present, the rest of the chapter fell neatly into place. Twenty-one! ah-ah-ah!

    These are a few of my favorite things...

    No, haven't seen "Paris, Texas," but thank you for the reminder! I also like "Faraway, So Close!" although it's not as good, IMHO, as "Wings". LOVE Harry Dean Stanton...:)

    Part 20 His nose knew there was coffee before his brain actually shifted into ‘awake’ gear. Newsie blinked slowly, finding himself standing in the kitchen. He had absolutely no recollection of putting on his boxer shorts or finding a mug, but there he was, empty mug in hand, feet bare on the...

    Part 19 Walking slowly back to Gina’s place, the Newsman hoped the weak feeling would be gone by tomorrow night. He doubted he could take a night off from the Muppet Theatre. Scott accompanied them, from time to time conversing in a deep but friendly voice. “So…they call you Newsman, right? You...
