MOQ means Minimum Order Quantity...and the winner is...Zoot and Dingo...as the winner he and I are gonna do something special called Foreign Film Dubs. This is where I put on my big black glasses and speak in a fake language that you the audience pick, but the kick is that no matter what language you select I will speak every one of them exactly the same.

I can help you with that. Unless of course, you were just making fun of Drew's "contributions" to Whose Line, in which case I can help you with that too.

You should try to get to the DC/VA area and check out ComedySportz to see something a little less controlled...

If you want to actually see a MC member doing improv, come down to Oxford. We have a nationally ranked Improv Troop that I will most likely become a member of in August!!!!!

Well, that probably would be closer than Oregon...

Hey,
Just got the e-mail, and all I've got to say is WOW! That Rowlf looks fantastic, along with the piano. I simply cannot wait! Also really cool to get a glimpse of Zoot in there. Plus, is that a lobster bandit, I spy? Anyways, if I have the money soon, I'd definitely be up for joining. Sounds like a lot of fun.

Anyways, besides that excitment, I'd forgotten to mention something in my previous recent posts. Just thought I'd let you know, Ken, now that I've seen them in stores, what the numbers tend to be like. When I was at Suncoast and Sam Goody in the local mall, there were few Bunsens, and only one Teeth at the Goody, along with a few more Kermits, but mostly Piggys.

At TRU, the others were more plentiful, though Piggy sure is dominating, though I suppose that goes with her character. It's sorta funny, I always thought female action figures were supposed to be the short-packed ones. Eh. Oh, speaking of TRU, just thought I'd mention, while on the subject, I had to look a little extra hard to find the figures in two seperate stores. In Union Square, they were just off to the side of the rest of the action figures, so I almost missed them. Good thing my girlfriend was with me, and spotted them, as I was about to give up.

At the other one I went to, they were in one of those clearance-bin-type things, though not at clearance, unfortunate for me, though I guess fortunate for you and TRU. $7.99 is a little steep for me, but I guess at their size and detail and the simple fact that they're Muppet Show figures, I can afford it. Speaking of which, I've wondered before how the toy companies make money from a guy like me buying them from a store, like TRU. I figure the money goes directly to TRU and its employees, so what's left for you? Just another more industry-based question for you, if you get around to it.

Oh, one last thing, in that bin, there was a Dr. Teeth, with the bubble ripped off of the card. Thought it was tempting to just pocket the figure and accessories and making off with it scot-free, I knew it would be wrong, especially since I've heard of what you've gone through to get them to us, the fans. That, and my conscience, mostly in the form of my younger brother told me it was just plain wrong. Just a little TMS figure-related anecdote for you and the rest. Hope you've enjoyed it. Take care.

Dude can you imagine if you got caught, and went to jail? I can just picture it.....

(interior holding cell, night)

Convict #1 "what are you in for?"
Convict #2 "Armed RObbery, and you?"
Convict #1 "Tried to car jack a dude on Mill Ave, he reisted and I shot him." (looks to Squigiman) "What about you kid?"
Squigiman "I tried to steal a Muppet toy at the store, and got caught.....So, when's dinner?"
(fade out to ominous music)

Man you would be REAL popular!!! LOL

A question arose at the Toughpigs chat last night and i felt it needed to be raised through the proper channels. There is ongoing fan concern that Janice be errrr 'anatomically correct' - especially in the upper body areas. She is a much loved character among the male Muppet fans (for many reasons), many of whom were outraged at the slimming down of Piggy's outstanding features. Ken, what assurances can you give us that you will give Janice the attributes she so clearly deserves ?

I am thinking you can get the puppet into the office for one of those full body cgi scans like they do with the WWF gals but if you want to handle things personally with a tape measure thats cool too ....
