What a nice surprise! And this morning's MCC menu is wonderful too--the perfect accompaniment to the MCC Palisades PVCs that are sitting on my coffee table watching me type this! :sleep: :boo:

Yeah, that's a good one. I was at the grocery store on Sunday night after being away for a week, and there was a "price decline" sign that said Wheat Chex was now 2 for $5.00! Wowsers! Trouble is, it's been 2 for $4.00 for the last year or so. I know, because I buy it all the time. Where's...

Well, :cry: , I've got to agree with so many of these posts. There are so many incredibly emotional Muppet moments. The wedding in MTM gets me every time, but I'm easy that way--weddings always get me. Actually, I was noticing a pretty new one recently. The scene in "It's a Very Merry...

I'm sure you can get it from Amazon for a decent price. I got mine through Sam Goody--I had to special order it at the store, and it took a long time to arrive, but at least I got my Sam Goody bonus points! Anyway, I really think the set it worth the $50.00 or so that it costs.

I always thought of Kermit as just presenting or hosting these specials. It was like Kermit was my little green anchor in these specials, keeping me tied in with the Muppets while these new stories unfolded. I always thought it was reassuring, because if Kermit was introducing the story I was...

I haven't seen this in so long, and I would LOVE :flirt: to see it on dvd! Back when I first saw it, I renamed my pet tiger Rugby... :) P.S. Oops! That should read "my toy tiger" instead!

It's strange--I liked the Grinch movie, but I've really had no strong desire to see The Cat in the Hat. I liked Pirates of the Carribbean, but I have had no strong desire to see Haunted Mansion. I wonder why this is? I haven't heard very good things in the press about either of them...

I thought of something similar a while ago--I thought that they should make fake muppet movie trailers to play before a movie. These would be trailers for muppet movies that will never actually get made, and that wouldn't be sustainable for more than a couple of minutes anyway. Back when I...

Well, I do appreciate the amazing turnaround Michael Eisner helped Disney through when he became the head of the company, but I think it would also be a good idea to have some new blood at this point. I don't necessarily think he has to go, but if it will help the company recapture its glory...

So, I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. We got to help cook, so we got to make the sweet potatoes (yummy) and the pumpkin pies and the rice and the peas. We have tons of leftovers, which will keep me happy today. Hope you're all enjoying the holidays!

FOOD FOOD FOOD! Mostly the sweet potatoes. Best side dish ever!! :)

You're welcome. I'm really interested in the character, even though I've only seen a couple of her U.S. appearances. I love the way that Sesame Street can handle an issue like this with gentleness and compassion in a way that also educates children who need education on the subject...

A similar discussion came up when fake-Kermit sang part of "The Rainbow Connection" on SNL recently. Wouldn't there be a way that the network (or local channel) would just pay a fee to use whatever music they like? I'm not sure about the intricacies of this, but I remember somebody saying...

Ahh, but which type of felony? There are so many... :crazy:

Hi there everybody, I just saw an article about Kami, the HIV-positive muppet from South Africa's "Takalani Sesame," being appointed a "Global Champion for Children" by UNICEF. I just thought some of you might like to take a look at the article. Here's the link...

Yeah, I'll second that. It's usually people who just want to be contrary and not give in to something that's "popular."

I pre-ordered mine at Sam Goody, and it finally came in this week. If you have a Sam Goody, look especially in their holiday section and you should find a copy or two. Happy hunting! :D

My brother used to make the opposite mistake. He would call Count Chocula "Count Choclea" or Dracula "Draclea." Of course, that was when he was very little...

The word "barbecue" when people spell it "barbeque." Why is there a q in it? There should only be a q if you are writing Bar-B-Q or BBQ, since Q sounds like "cue." "Barbeque" just isn't a word! :eek:

On the Phantom Menace, there's a hidden outtakes reel that includes Yoda messing up and asking for another take. It's pretty amusing...
