Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

[That Announcer]

(TA and Phil re-enter the room to find no trace of Marvin or Julius.)

PN: Where are those little buggers?

TA: Well, I think they're going out to dinner after the show. Some pizza place, I guess.

PN: Well, good enough. That coconut cream pie disappointed me, I think I'll have a few Junior Mints. (pops open candy drawer, takes a box of Junior Mints)

TA: Got any Now'n'Laters in there?

PN: Yeah, I think so! (takes a look and tosses TA a pack of Now'n'Laters)

TA: Thanks. (begins to eat)

PN: Well, while I'm waiting, I think I'll go catch a few episodes of Seinfeld.

TA: May as well come with you. (both sit down in front of the television)

PN: Oh, forgot to tell you this. I called Bubba's place, and he can get you that PC!

TA: Hey, that's great!

PN: Also, he can make dinner with us tomorrow. So, Everybody Eats again?

TA: Yeah. I hear they have a great blood-pudding, I'm sure he'd like that.

PN: Yup. (watching TV) Hey, this episode is called "The Junior Mint", and I'm eating Junior Mints! Well... (looks into box) correction, WAS eating Junior Mints.

TA: You finished 'em that fast?

PN: Yeah. I could go for a Coke right now. (heads to kitchenette)

TA: Whatever. (to Phil) Hey, grab me one too!

PN: Sure. (hands coke to TA, both pop theirs open and continue to watch Seinfeld)

 

[BEAR]

Bry: Okay, looks like we are done, finally.

Our room is at the very end of the hall on the Right Wing (floor 2). Our room is on the right. As you walk in the door you will notice the whole room is painted a beautiful cream color, with deep green carpet and dark brown wooden borders between the carpet and wall.
After entering, looking to the right is my quarter of the room. the desk is on the doorside wall with a rolly swivel chair. My desk has a laptop computer on it and a red office desk lamp and cellphone in charger.The opposite side of the quarter has a red velvet curtain which sort of separates my area from the rest of the room (though it is only on that one side). Parallel with the curtain is my bed right next to it against the side wall and a small nightstand on the other side of the bed which has a small lamp and electronic alarm clock. On that wall is a closet which I keep all my clothes (hanging and in little drawers) and other nik naks in. There are pictures on the wall of family and friends.
On the other side of the red curtain is a bookshelf against the wall. Against that same wall in the corner is Rosita's bed. She has white sheets and light yellow blanket and spread. The bedspread has little red maracas all over it. At the foot of her bed is a toy box. At the side of her bed (opposite the wall) is a nightstand with a lamp. The side of her bed has little drawers which is where she keeps whatever clothes she has and her guitar in its case. The nightstand is hallowed out and she keeps books in it. The bed has a white canopy netting covering with warm colored paper streamers hanging down from the cieling. There is a Mexican flag and an American Flag intercrossing on the wall above the head of the bed.
On the opposite side of the room from Rosita is Big Bird's nest. His corner is set up very similar to his nest area on Sesame Street only in a smaller space. The nest is right in the corner. On the front sides of the nest sits two wooden crates (just like on the show). On is against the wall below the window (the wall shared by Bird and Rosita has a nice big window) and the other between the nest and a colored wall separating that side of the nest from the rest of the room. Basically he has three walls around him. This wall is like the colored doors that we know. Surrounding the nest is various whatnots and nik naks, including a tall lamp with a chain switch, a cuckoo clock on the wall, an indoor tree plant, a large unicycle wheel, and the Mr. Hooper picture is hanging on the wall behind him. The wall also has odd street signs and such. Each crate actually opens up like a chest, where Bird keeps all his other things (neckties, books, balls, blankets, rubber ducks, goggles, swim flippers, rollerskates, toy drum, transistor radio, binoculars, blocks, crayons...you get the picture). Radar is in the nest. On the other side of the colored wall is a back door which leads out the other side of the building.
In the last corner, which is to the left as you come in from the hall is the kitchen bar area. It could be like a junior Hoopers Store. on the immediate left looking in is an oven/stove and counter. the fridge is on the adjacent wall. Closing the corner off from the rest of the room is an L shaped bar with 3 stools on the outside on the side closest to Bird;s nest and just before the side door. This counter also has a sink. The counter has drawers and cabinets storing all of our food (including bird seed). There is an old black phone on the counter by the wall. There is a brass hat/coat rack by the side door and counter. There is also a small window on the wall where the side door is but it is on the inside of the bar. The whole floor of this section is a red brick pattern tile scheme. The middle of the room is pretty open and empty because we dunno what to do with it yet. We may leave the space there for now. It is basically our common area where we play and do whatever.
A flat plasma screen tv comes down from the ceiling via remote control. There are also small speakers in each corner of the room for surround sound. Music can be controlled from my comp. thru the speakers. Scattered here and there are pics of our family and friends.

Well I think that is enough descriptions for now.

Bry: Time for bed guys. It's late.

Big Bird: Goodnight, Bryan and Rosita. Goodnight, Radar.
Rosita: Buenos noches.
Bry: Goodnight, you two. Sweet dreams.

 

[The Count]

Hexcellent job Bry. Rully diggin' the setup in your room... And the nods to Hooper, classy.
Oh, thought you might want to know... There'll be a viewing of some classic SS episodes I got from BG on VHS tape later today. Hope to see you guys there and have a good day at the dorms.

 

[That Announcer]

Taking a cue from BEAR, here's a description of our room.

Upon opening the door, the first thing that hits you is a strong scent of grilled meat. Marvin found a good-sized electric grill for the dorm, and so we cook steaks or something on it every night. The kitchen is straight ahead. An old pub bar serves as seating. The aforementioned grill, a refrigerator and a wall oven lay directly ahead of the bar.

The room is painted a deep shade of blue with a red trim. The beds are all lined up against a wall opposite the kitchenette, but a little further down in the room. There is a goodly amount of space between each of them. They all have an individual nightstand. Julius T. Strangepork's bed is the furthest away from the door, and it has a silver bedspread with black pillows. His nightstand features a spaceship lamp, a clock radio and a few books. Above his bed is a poster of Neil Armstrong walking on the moon, and a large Pigs in Space logo. Dr. Phil's bed is next to his, and it is decked out in deep red tones. His nightstand has a stolen hotel lamp, a tiny analog clock and a drawer filled up with candy. TA's bed is next to his, with a Mexican theme: an orange and brown bedspread with matching pillowcases. His nightstand has a metal lamp, a few books and he too has a drawer full of food. Over his bed is a "Raiders of the Lost Ark" movie theater poster. Last is Marvin's bed, with a blue-and-gold bedpsread. Marvin has a metallic lamp similar to TA's, and some sheet music to be practiced on the Muppaphones.

Directly opposite Julius Strangepork's bed is the TV area, and the rest of the dormies envy him for having such a good view of the football game at night. A leather couch and loveseat are augmented by a black-and-gold coffee table that cost $80 split four ways and was bought off of TA's father. The television is a large DLP widescreen set, with a Yamaha 5.1 digital surround system that could bust your ears if you're watching the right movie. A small air-conditioning unit sits in the window next to the television, as Marvin doesn't trust central A/C. On the other side of the TV is the gang's DVD collection, with over 135 of TA's discs and a few from Julius and Marvin as well.

To the left of the kitchenette is what could be called a den. Marvin's Muppaphones sit on their stand (and if Marvin is away for the night, on the beds TA and Phil designed) to the right of the door. A computer sits behind a false wall erected by Julius one afternoon as he had nothing else to do. There is no door in the wall, just a black curtain. Behind the wall is a 2001 PC running Windows XP Professional edition. Word has it that Bubba the Rat and his compadres have moved into Bill Gates's manor and a new computer will probably be coming in soon. The computer room is half covered in mirrors and half covered in movie theater posters stolen by Phil.

Also in the den is a 400-slot CD holder that is just about full. TA provided 200 CDs, and Julius provided most of the others. This is connected to the surround system in the TV area by a very long cable that Radio Shack didn't carry, so Marvin bought it at Price Club. The commode sits to the right of the computer room, and was painted a shade of yellow separate from the rest of the dorm.

Soon enough Phil will be moving his lemon of a car into the dorm to attempt a fix-it job. Luckily the dorm has tile floors, so oil spills are easier to clean up than with carpet. And it'll mask the omnipresent smell of grilled meat.

 

[The Count]

Wha??? A car in your room? Would think there'd be space for Phil to park his next to Fozzie's studebaker and Kyle's car out in the dormhouse's parking lot. It's that big shaded area behind the dormhouse, to the left of the poolhouse. LMK if you guys have any other questions...
The SS viewing will be beginning soon... Just have to use the bathroom first and wash up.

 

[TogetherAgain]

I'm back!

Rowlf: <stops playing piano> How were voice lessons?

<shrug> They were pretty good until my voice started hurting, but I guess that didn't effect my singing too much because my instructor said I'm really improving.

Rowlf: Does that mean you'll stop going outside where no one can hear you to practice?

No.

Rowlf: Alright.

Well, I think Colorado family and I are going to go mini-golfing. Wanna come?

Rowlf: Naw, I think I'll watch the Sesame Street airing.

Oh, I forgot about that! Let me know how it is, alright?

Rowlf: You need me to tell you that it's going to be great?

I guess not. Chef, what are you up to today?

Chef: Vetcheeng Seseme-a Street. Um de hur de hur de hur.

Alright, well you two have fun. Wish I could watch too, but I did promise...

Rowlf: Understandable.

Okay. Well, I'll see you later!

Rowlf: Later.

Chef: Bye-a Leesa!

What can I tell you, he wants total control of his car. He's afraid that someone will ding his doors, and knowing that he could perform a Quadralobal Brain Probe on me, I obliged to let his car in for a short while.

Oh, thought you might want to know... There'll be a viewing of some classic SS episodes I got from BG on VHS tape later today. Hope to see you guys there and have a good day at the dorms.

Bry: I would love to be there, but I am afraid I have some things to do later. I know, work! Bleh. But I will send Big Bird and Rosita down. They'll love it. You can play with them if you want. I'll be gone all day. Just make sure you get them to bed safe and sound.

 

[BEAR]

Bry: Okay, guys, I'm on my way out.

Big Bird: What? Well...when are you coming back?
Bry: I'll be back later tonight. Now, don't worry, I told Ed that you guys are still here and you can go down to his and Count's room to play if you want. They will be watching classic Sesame Street on tv.

Big Bird: On TV? We're on tv?
Bry: Anyhow...I also left the birdseed smoothie recipe on the counter. I'm sure Rosita will help you with it.

Rosita: No problemo!
Bry: Have a good day! Bye!

 

[Skeeter Muppet]

Well, I'm back from work guys...you are awake, aren't you?

Gillis: Yes, we're awake, thanks to someone setting her alarm clock to go off at seven...

Hey, I had to get up with enough time to take my pill, get a chance at the shower and eat breakfast before I went to work. At least here we don't have to worry about going to class.

Tosh: She has a point, Gillis.

*steps into the closet and changes back into her street clothes* Okay, so what's on the agenda for the day guys? Interested in seeing those classic Sesame Street eps that Ed and the Count are airing in their room?

Tosh: What's Sesame Street?

Gillis: Not particularly, no.

I see. Any other ideas or suggestions?

Tosh: We still haven't explored the pool yet.

That sounds like a good idea. With the heat wave and everything, we're probably going to get very familiar with that spot. So why don't we have lunch, and then later we can go check out the pool?

Gillis: Sounds good!

Tosh: Yay!

Beast: *happy growls*
