I heard about this yesterday - it's so sad. My condolences to the kids. The Muppets' corner of heaven just got a little more full - it's nice to think that Jim was waiting for her at the Pearly Gates - along with Richard, the two Jerrys, Christine, Eren Ozker, Joe Raposo... RIP, Jane, and...

I heard about this yesterday - I can't imagine how difficult this has to be for the family. I hope everything works out for the best. Thoughts and prayers for you, Jane. And thoughts and prayers for Heather, Brian, John, Lisa and Cheryl.

Hi, everyone - yes, I know, I kind of zip in and out again only occasionally now. It's cause of the usual stuff - life, work, school. There's a story I'd love to share with everyone. My mom told me that on Halloween, this one group of trick-or-treaters came to the door. The group included a...

I was shocked when I heard about this. I mean, for the most part I've never really liked Elmo, but I thought Kevin Clash was kind of a cool dude. I went to the SST40 event at William Paterson University a few years ago, where Kevin and some of the other Muppeteers showed up (with Muppets, of...

Just heard about this yesterday, and was really sad to hear that Jerry had passed. He truly was one of the big movers and shakers with the Muppets, and he's left behind some really big shoes to fill. RIP, Jerry - say hi to Jim and Richard and the other Jerry up there, won't you?

Hiya, heralde - how've you been?

Hi, everyone, it's the elusive Muppet Newsgirl dropping back in - sorry I haven't been around much in the last few months, but between work and a million other things... Just wanted to wish a happy birthday to the late (or just slightly tardy) and very great Richard Hunt. We love you, Richie...

Hi, everyone, how's it going? I've been pretty absent from the MC forum of late - between work and assorted other things, plus I just came back from a trip to Ireland.

I was there that night, with my family - and we were seated on the right-hand side of the theater, so we had a good view of Statler and Waldorf's balcony. :)

I got to see Statler and Waldorf on Sunday!!!! My family and I went into New York to see the Secret Policeman's Ball - it's the comedy and music show that Amnesty International does. And we were on the right-hand side of the theater, just below S&W's balcony. Our two favorite hecklers were in...

(Order for cookies is received from newsmanfan, and is duly dispatched.) (Nora is playing wizard chess with Scooter, Storyteller is curled up in an armchair with a bundle of poetry submissions for a magazine she's helping to edit, Erin is reading "All Quiet on the Western Front" and Beige is...

Nora: Okay...Heather sent up the cookie forms; here's what they're offering this year. (A list is posted on the door, with descriptions - and the occupants have written some recommendations alongside.) Mint Dreams (chocolate mint - Erin's favorite) Orange Delights (orange-flavored butter...

(Doorbell rings) Scooter: I'll get it. (opens door) Thanks, Deadly - tell Eleanor we said hi. (closes door) I don't think we're going to be lacking for cookies for a while, guys. (chomps into one of the heart-shaped cookies and passes the others around)

Erin: (at computer, typing) "No injuries were reported, although it is estimated that it will cost the city $5,000 to clean all of the cream pie residue out of the carpets in the council chambers..." (types some more, saves file, hits a few keys and picks up the phone) Hi, chief...yeah, the...

I like opera and ginger ale, but I can't much say that I fancy tuna fish sandwiches. Oh, well, as Meat Loaf once sang, "two out of three ain't bad." ;)

Erin: (lying on sofa, strumming guitar): "The falling leaves...clog up my downspout..." (at the table in the kitchen, Scooter and Beige are trading bubble gum cards - but they're about World War I battles) Scooter: All right, Beige, I'll trade you five Ypres for your Flanders fields. Come on...

Hmm, so Elmo doesn't like opera, ginger ale and tuna fish sandwiches - would that list also include orange juice and chocolate-covered donuts, or would he be okay with those? And it would seem that Richard and Elmo's working relationship was one of mutual emnity - Richard hated Elmo's cloyingly...

Hi, Ed - yeah, I know, I've been kind of away from MC lately. It's the old problem of life, the universe and everything getting in the way - mostly I blame work. But I've been meaning to get back into the swing of things - and yes, I got the HV notice. What the hey, I'll throw my hat in for...

Cool - thanks! On a slightly more somber note, I'm looking at the calendar and I'm seeing that we're three days away from the anniversary of Richard's passing...I can't believe it will have been 20 years ago this year - where does the time go?

Woo-hoo, Sara's back! Wow, sounds like you guys are having a time of it lately...and I hear you, sorting out stuff with auto insurance can be a real pain in the neck. Judging from the reviews that everyone's posting, I'm definitely going to have to go see "The Muppets." Yes, I know, it's...
