AH! I didn't know that Bear!

Does he still have a website of his own around??

Thanks!

On Google groups, someone posted once, saying they'd read a 1979 Circus Weekly Muppet article where Richard Hunt had this to say...

"If you don't dig sore arms, don't work with puppets. I've got a solution. When my right arm gets sore, I go out to a court and shoot left-handed baskets. That gets my left arm sore." Lol

Hmm not sure. I don't remember ever seeing one. There should be.

Muppetites!

Sorry I've been away from here for a while,
what with being REALLY busy over the holiday season and all...

I really love the Muppets - ever since they began and now even moreso...

I could dribble on this topic, but I needed to ask about this:

Do you believe - that in Henson's performing over soooo many years,
and having that constant 'blood flow down from his hand',
to be a contributing factor to his additional illness back in 1990?

Granted it takes strain and endurance for all to perform like that!

Thoughts? - Thanks!

Why would you even suggest such a thing?

I can say as a puppeteer that your arm will be strained, weak, and sore; drained of blood, but it has no link to any illnesses.
