A scruffy looking guy carrying a suitcase walks into a bar and asks about the piano player job. The bartender takes a look at him and asks, "Are you really a piano player?" The guy says, "No. He's in here." And pulls out of the suitcase a small piano, sets it on the bar and then a ten inch...

Okay. Male or female? Humanoid, animal or monster?

And if the puppets were just plain puppets with no known personality (hence no intrinsic value), I would agree that they are just props. But Muppet puppets are copyrighted characters. Heck, Kermit is a corporate logo. Many people have posted pictures of their puppets here. They own the...

How do others feel about Muppet "replicas"? I worked on a short film for a local, highly reputable film school a couple of years ago that was a spoof using Muppet characters. The producers received permission from Henson as long as the short was for classroom use only and it didn't appear...

I totally forgot I had posted on this thread. The kit came yesterday! I'm very excited to get started on it. Thank you! The Postal service never sent me an-mail. But that is kind of typical of them. Anyway, thanks again!

I would be interested in participating in this too. Is it something we want to put together quickly or plan it out more thoroughly? If we want to try it once quickly, see how we do, then we keep it simple. We could always make it more involved and do it again if we like the first results...

How long does it usually take to ship the kits? I ordered on the 20th, paid with PayPal and haven't received e-mail notification of shipping yet.

It says in the Yahoo story that he was 82. I thought he was 86.

So what was "Y"? A transvestite?

Mostly what TogetherAgain said but also what Infinity said.

And hopefully we won't hear anything about them until they are adults.

Marilyn Manson: In the "Die Bloody Bird" dance number Bruce Vilanch: In the background backstage during the "Beeker comes out of the closet" sketch. Okay. I made those up.

Sadly, I can't make it on Saturday night. But for a very good reason. Some friends were producers on "The Amazing Race" and they won Emmy's on Sunday! They were planning a Mardi Gras party for Katrina Relief this Saturday anyway and now it has become a combo Mardi Gras/Congratulations party...

I've waited to reply to this thread. Mostly to give myself time to come up with a way to say what I want without being insulting to other people here. Despite how some people feel, the Muppets are a business. I've seen it written and said about Jim Henson that he thought of the Muppets as a...

Animal is not human. He is not an animal. He is not a monster. Animal is a Drummer. Drummers don't completely fall into any of the above groups.

Dude. Google.
