Sure, Uncle Duke, I understand wanting surprise. But keep in mind that I had given up looking for the Muppet Monopoly thread and was just kind of idly clicking on threads when I finally found this. The name is changed now, but even if it hadn't, it wouldn't have been that big of a deal...

Agustinaldo, I just noticed that part of your original question was "How close is it in spirit to The Wizard of Oz?" Well, as I said, it's a fantasy with music and humor, all qualities it shares with Oz. Also, at the end you're kind of wondering "did it really happen, or was it just a dream?" as...

In the most recent issue of Star Wars Insider (#67), there's a 20th anniversary "Return of the Jedi" retrospective/celebration. In one part, they're listing the reasons why some fans DON'T like the series. Listed at #28 is "Muppets." The picture is of Salacious Crumb, and the caption reads like...

Opinions on "Labyrinth" tend to be varied. Personally, it's my favorite Jim Henson project ever. But many Muppet fans feel differently. Have you seen Jim's other fantasy film, "The Dark Crystal"? It has kind of the same look and feel, but it's not as dark. Jim caught a lot of flak for making...

This is SO cool. Usually the Muppet liscenses aren't that great. Monopoly is too often for the bigger franchises like Disney and Warner Bros. and Hanna-Barbera. But now WE got one!! :) And Monopoly's already cool, so we don't have to worry about them inventing a new board game that turns out to...

No. Someone doctored a picture to make it look like Bert and Bin Laden were standing next to each other. It was based on spoofs at the Bert is Evil website, which had photos of Bert's head in place of Lee Harvey Oswald's, and a few others. It seemed funny at the time with historical distance...

It's been a while since I've seen this thread, Scott, so refresh my memory. Did you say this was ONLY available from online vendors? This sounds like the kind of thing that would be SO cool to pick up in the stores, to show my support for it. (Plus it's easier to justify when it's an impulse...

LOL! Thanks. I think it's a little better now.

LOL! True 'dat.

Hey, Phil or Jamie, How big is the avatar allowed to be? I thought I read somewhere that it was 64 x 64, but I can't figure out where I saw that. My newest avatar is 64 x 40, to keep the proper dimensions, and it looks so tiny, even in comparison with others' avatars. So am I doing something...

I'm with Luke on this one. Yesterday I kind of enjoyed it, but I've been burned by two "news stories" today on issues that are of top importance to people here--the kind of announcements that can make you jump for joy or make your stomach bottom out. Let's have the word "Humor" added to them...

It's not a mistake that so many performers are credited to the Fierys. These were such complicated puppets that it took one entire performer to move the head, another to move the arm, etc. All of the performers were then bluescreened out of the shot. You can see them rehearsing in the "Into the...

Actually, Jess, this site has been down for a while. Take a look at the date: Oct. 11, 2001. I remember when this got taken down. It was because a follower of Bin Laden's had pulled a picture off the Internet of Bert with Bin Laden, and put it into a photo collage. (The Al-Queda supporter...

Disney characters! Oh, wait...that one might actually happen anyway...

Jamie, I've been meaning to ask you for ages. Where did that weird robot Kermit come from that pops up in that same menu when you run your mouse over Cards? It's a cool picture, but for the life of me I can't identify it.

Hey, Jamie and Phil! Saw the menu today -- funny stuff. Wasn't even thinking about what day it was. Great gag!

Ah, yes, the Fonzie solution. LOL!!! Now I feel silly for writing all that out for you. I've fixed more than a few pieces of technology that way myself -- though usually only if I banged it with the INTENTION of fixing it. If I banged it out of anger, I usually broke it! Sigh. So much for my...

Eh? What's that ye say, sonny? Speak up -- I'm a quarter of a century PLUS three years. I don't hear too good no more! :sleep:

Boober Baby, My deepest condolences on the loss of your dog.

(Slips into Lindbergh mode, from JHH) Hey, Foz, is the first time setting up your DVD player? It sounds like you need to check your audio connections. If the TV is hooked up normally, you'll still hear sounds from the regular TV channels, which seems to be what you're describing. The picture...
