A fic someone should write..a challenge

[Aaron]

I would love to see a story about Rowlf's life from 1990 to 2011. What he did and how he was feeling. One shots in the past have touched on it but i'd like to see a major story about it. That is my challenge, any takers?

...But that kinda hard. Rowlf hasn't really had appearence since Jim Henson died, and Rowlf doesn't really have an adaquate place to go besides...A pound Maybe.

It'd be interesting. Kinda hard to decide whether the plot should be he was in his hammock for 21 years or that he was actually quite successful (ala Scooter and Piggy and Gonzo) and finally retired.

I was thinking Jim's death would leave him terribly depressed.

Understandable, though one wonders how a character who walks himself, grabs a couple of beers, and goes to bed can show even MORE depression symptoms. Does he skip the walk? He's not as bad off as Fozzie was. He had a pleasant-looking home. The hammock on the patio was a nice touch. Like Kermit, though the movie naturally wouldn't mention it, Rowlf had a life before the Muppet Show (Jimmy Dean for Rowlf, SST for Kermit). Rowlf is already a thoughtful, introspective character. Even if he, sad as he was, turned around 3 times and slept in a fetal position in the corner of his house for awhile, how can we be sure that's different from normal?

Surely someone out there sees the potential in this idea

 

[Misskermie]

Well, it would have to be a short story...I suppose.

 

[Aaron]

I disagree there is 21 years worth of time to write about. One wouldn't have to adhere to Jason Segel's interpretation.

 

[Misskermie]

Well, I know, but I'm trying to think about what Rowlf could possibly do. He could...Wait...I've got it! I think I can do it!

 

[Aaron]

Go for it!
