A video from Amanda Palmer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92jbfz9qa9M Yes, that is Neil Gaiman in a mullet. The things a man in love will do...

CNN Money posted a short video featuring Cheryl Henson & the Henson Company on their "How We Got Started" page: http://money.cnn.com/video/smallbusiness/2010/12/08/sbiz_hwgs_jim_henson.cnnmoney/ --Dawn in TN

Puppet Noir (I wasn't sure where to put this thread. It has nothing to do with Puppets Up! but does relate to Henson Alternative.) Latest press release from JHC: http://www.henson.com/press_releases/2008-10-14.pdf This could be really good, or could fall on its, um, posterior. But...

http://http://scitech.blogs.cnn.com/2008/08/22/one-small-pod-for-scientists-one-giant-leap-for-endangered-frogs/ And if that link goes dead, here's a link provided in the article: www.amphibianark.org I didn't know that it is the "Year of the Frog"! :)

Hiya, folks, If anyone's in the Knoxville, TN area this weekend, come downtown for the Children's Festival of Reading on Saturday, May 31 from 10 am until 3 pm at the World's Fair Park. Sesame Street writer Mo Willems (who also wrote "Knufflebunny" and--one of my absolute favorite...

Are the people you're inviting raving lunat---, er, I mean, devoted fans of the Muppets, or merely innocent bystanders that you are springing this upon? If they are fans, you could make up games like Muppet Name That Tune (presuming you have some Muppet music available) or Muppet charades or...

OK, this may be too late for your actual date (since I'm posting this on Saturday night, thereby also demonstrating my current lack of a life), but these are three simple suggestions based on my first dates (good & bad): 1) Try to do something that your date will find interesting. If you...

How about something to the effect of, "If you hadn't been raised around the Muppets, what career/lifepath would you have had instead?" or something to that effect. Phrasing's bad, but I'm a bit tired. ta, wombat

If you don't something a bit more obscure, how about 'Concerning Charlie Horse' by Great Big Sea. Actually, there's a lot of stuff by Great Big Sea. (download the song: http://www.greatbigsea.com/themusic/thte.aspx) Another one that I would love is an instrumental--'Initiation' by Tommy...

I like the Great Big Sea version of that quote: :sing: 'I'll eat when I am hungry, and drink when I am I dry, get drunk whenever I'm ready, and get sober by-and-by.':sing: (I believe it's from a Newfoundland folk song.)

Tain't just you, Daniel. Our lawn is so dry, even the crabgrass is crabby!

No, no. Cheese on toast, marshmallows (with chocolate) on graham crackers, gravy on biscuits. Elephants wherever they darn well please.

Raisins belong in oatmeal cookies, not toast! :p ELEPHANTS! ELEPHANTS! ELEPHANTS! ta, wombat

Finally acting like a normal summer afternoon (generic Knoxville forecast: "Hot, Hazy, Humid, highs in the [mid 80's to low 100's, depending], chance of afternoon & evening thunder showers"). After 6 or so months of a drought, and a solid month of 90+ temperatures, it's rather nice to see the...

I remember Billy the Psychic Rubber Chicken, Phil & Cindy before they shared a last name, waiting for Muppets from Space updates.... -Remember when MC switched servers (or whatever) and you had to re-join--and lost your post count? :cry: I've just never recovered from the trauma...

Just an interesting factoid I came across today-- Deepdiscount.com has a lot of Sony DVDs (~500) on sale, and what's #1? Labyrinth! Dark Crystal is #5, and Mirrormask is #15. Pretty cool, I thought. :cool: Bodes well to keep Sony interested in making movies with the Henson Company...

Penguins also make frequent appearances in Sandra Boynton's books (notable the new book Your Personal Penguin). Actually, Boynton is an unsung supporter of pigs and sheep and penguins and chickens. Not a lot of frogs, sadly, but she does do hippos. Were there ever any hippos in the Muppets? I...

Have you seen the Monty Python song 'Camelot' as done by Legos? It's on the Holy Grail DVD, and desperately funny.

No, no, distract, not destroy. Ummmmmm. How's about we all whistle Walk Like an Egyptian?

If it's a work day, come home, feed the bunnies, find something chocolate. Go for a walk if it's not too hot (it's too hot today). Sometimes meet a friend for dinner. Water the garden, work on a quilt, go to the library, get ready for a concert, hang out at Starbucks with a book or...
