I always loved Ernie and Bert together when I was little, but I'd have to say that Ernie was my favorite, just because he was so silly. You need Bert, though, for Ernie's personality to make sense. As I've gotten older, I've grown really fond of Bert as well. Bert's awesome! Bert is into...

Looks like the seller has an Elmo puppet too--very professional-looking, but illegal too I'm sure. Though it makes me think that Sesame Workshop should definitely license more puppet replicas of their characters!

No, that one got everyone. Especially if you first heard of the book when you were younger, it's natural to take it at face value. I didn't know about the "hoax" until my sister told me.

In writing it, he tries to satirize historical adventures like "Ivanhoe" and the like, which have a lot of "good parts" but a lot of bring political stuff too. In the "good parts" version, there are all these great editorial asides where Goldman explains what's missing, why he decided to cut...

This ought to help: http://smorgenstern.pkmoutl.net/abouttheauthor.html There really is no "original" version. S. Morgenstern is a figure made up by William Goldman. There's also an interview I found on this site where Goldman talks about this.

I said this in another thread, but I'm so unbelievably excited about this! Hooray hooray!

OMG OMG OMG! My mind is officially blown! I'm so happy that they got this license! I'd better make some more display space! :p :( :grouchy: Anybody see the Grover pic at the Palisades site? It's awesome!

Just for the record... There is no "original" version, just the "abridged" or "good parts" version. That's the only version there ever was--the "original" version is a hoax... :D

I just read this now--how sad! I'll miss reading what "Disney's Muppets" had to say, and my thoughts are certainly with his family. :( :sympathy:

Great pictures! Makes one really hopeful for future action figures...

One of my ferrets is named "Baby Chewie," and one day I decided to enter in her name as a URL to see what happened. I was directed to the home page of a baby whose name actually is "Baby Chewie!" Not legally, I think, but I was impressed anyway. What a fun name!

I know someone named Anders too--a cool name. I also know (from the news) of someone who named his baby with a 2.0 at the end instead of "junior." Mike 2.0 or something... :)

Now THAT I would love to see. :) (Good to see you, by the way!)

I rationalized it for myself by assuming htat Oscar was being typically grouchy and refusing to make things go smoothly. :grouchy:

Well, better him than Jon Stewart from the Daily Show. He'd kick my rear...

I'd tell them, but they might send Green Lantern after me.

Hooray! I missed this news somehow, but I'm glad to hear it--I too feel a bit weird about having duplicates with the Time/Life set, but I am seriously looking forward to having the whole durn show! :) :excited:

I really liked seeing them on the parade as well--that's the reason I flip on the TV on Thanksgiving morning. Three muppety balloons and a great float. Ahhh...

Andy-Wan Kenobi... Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. A long time... My real world name is Andy. Not a big stretch o' the ol' imagination there... Now my crazy inner-delirium name, on the other hand...

I think I missed that one... Sounds funny! And "Papaya the Seller Man" is quite the groaner of a pun--the best kind, naturally.
