Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

[The Count]

*Finishing setting up the shelf... Hey Count, could you get that please?
Count: Certainly... 1 knock, 2 knocks, 3 knocks...
Knock it off and answer the door please.
Count: Ah yes, got carried avay for a moment.

*Opens door and friends come in.
Oh hi guys... You came down here to see what I got? Well, if I may direct your attention to the center shelf...
*Turns on the lights attached to the shelf above.
Here we have the Muppet Backstage playset... But if you look at what's next to it...
Yes, four Muppet letters from A to D. Super Grover, my figure of him at least, now has some company. The entire S1 lineup!
There's the Two-Headed Monster... His left head with the upturned horns was the one Richard voiced Sara.
Next comes Guy Smiley with his Beat The Time clock wall...
And then there are the two additions I got today.
Oscar The Grouch in his trashcan. Came with the lid and a sign to hang on the lid. Still need some help to take off his arms and lower him into the can itself, at least I think that's how it's supposed to work.
And last, but never least... Ernie standing next to the SS wall, holding that banana in his ear.

Slimey and Rubber Duckie are here too. Rully glad I was able to get them. Especially since the proposed lineup was shared earlier in the week...

Well guys, hope you like 'em.
*Pics when I can take 'em, maybe a review to boot to send to Phillip.

Uncle Deadly: Oh Eduardo. They're gorgeous. I can't believe you got them! Of course, you are the most deserving of any of us. It's so amazing just to gaze at them or even be in the same dormitory complex! Thank you for sharing these with us Ed. I'll make sure Ryan hops to his homework and fan-fiction so he can get down here to see these magnificent marvels of the company that was Palisades.

 

[The Count]

Thank you Uncle Deadly... You phantomish flatterer.
Count: Vould you care for some tea?
And as soon as I can get pics snapped off, I'll be sure to share.

 

[theprawncracker]

Uncel Deadly: Ah, alas, I would stay for tea, but I must go free Ryan from his chain and let him go write more commentary with Gonzo.
*from upstairs* WHOOOOPIE!!
UD: I don't know if that was Ryan or Gonzo...

 

[TogetherAgain]

Lisa: <hangs up phone> I'M ON BOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rowlf: You're bored?
Lisa: No, I'm ON board! <waves phone around> That was the president of the youth group chapter calling! THEY VOTED ME ONTO THE BOARD! I am the official OTUSY Rel/Ed!
Rowlf: ...Beg pardon?
Lisa: Um... It's, uh, it's youth-group-jargon... You'll get used to it.
Rowlf: I wouldn't be so sure. I still haven't gotten used to Mock Swedish.
Lisa: Well... that's a different kind of jargon.
Robin: <half-asleep> Lisa?
Lisa: Oh! <walks over to Robin's hammock> I'm sorry, Robin, did I wake you?
Robin: Yeah... What's happening?
Lisa: <Hugs Robin> I just got voted into a semi-important position in my youth group.
Robin: <rubs eyes> Does that mean you're gonna be even busier?
Lisa: <Sigh> Well, yes, it does. But don't you worry about it, all right? Especially right now- it's nothing worth worrying over. <Kisses top of Robin's head> You go back to sleep, all right?
Robin: <lays back down> Okay...
Lisa: Sweet dreams.
Robin: Good night, Lisa.
Lisa: Good night, Robin.

 

[theprawncracker]

Me: *finally free from homework chain* Gonzo! Give me two and a half seconds! *darts across the hall and barges into Lisa's room* HiLisacongratsontheyouthgroupsemiimportantpositionandnowIhavetogowritemorecommentaryorUncleD'sgonnakillme!
Gonzo: Two, two and a quarter, TWO AND A HALF! Let's go! *pulls Ryan off*

BABY BEAR: What are you working on, Peter?

PETER: Baby Bear, I am working on PowerPoint, a 1977 WGBH Station Break

ZOE: Cool

LITTLE BIRD: You did the "2" logo all by your self

PETER: Yes!!!!

NOW

PETER: It is time to sign-off for the night, Good Night Little Bird and Zoe and Baby Bear

BABY BEAR: (snoring) Night Night Peter! (feeds Ralph)

LITTLE BIRD: (snoring) Night Night

ZOE: ZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!

PETER: Well, they already said good night, well time for me to go to bed

HOOTS: (playing a soft tune)

 

[BEAR]

(Down in Room 1)
Bry: (in awe) Wow...I just can't believe it. That is so cool, Ed.
Prairie: Yes, very nice figures.
Bry: I'm almost speechless. What do you think, guys? (looks over and sees Big Bird, Telly and Rosita all giving him "the look") Oh, come on, guys. We're not going to get into this again, are we?
Rosita: (trying to avoid eye contact)
Big Bird: *sigh*
Telly: (under his breath) But even Oscar gets one.
Ernie: I think they're beautiful. There's a little me and...and a little Rubber Duckie! Look at that! Khekhekhe! See that, Bert?
Bert: Yeah, Ernie! Looks great! (raises brow) Hey, how about my figure, huh? Where's the one of me?
Bry: Uuhh...sorry, Bert.
Bert: Huh? Oh...(lowers brow again disappointed) I understand. Ernie and no Bert...
Telly: (patting Bert on the shoulder) We know how you feel.
Bry: Sorry about that, Ed. Please understand. I, for one, am very happy for you and your display looks amazing. I'm jealous. Well...I better get these guys some dinner. So I'll see ya later. Oh, I think Gaffer is looking for Fatatita. Bye!
(Big Bird, Telly, Bert, Rosita and Prairie follow)
Ernie: (walks up to Ed) Ed, do you think maybe I could come down and play with it sometime? If not, I understand. I'll let you think on it. Bye bye. (Catches up to us)

 

[The Count]

Well... So long everybody.

*Pouring glass of bat's milk tea. That was nice.
Count: Yes it vas.
No worries Bryan... I do know how you and the guys rooming with you feel. At least there may be hope for Bert, the guy we knew named WiGgY or MWoO here was working on a custom sculpt with decent basic articulation. You might want to go to the CMX Members Display Case and look for the pertinent thread.

And while you're there, check out the Sunny Days thread in the Gray Matters section, it has what would've been... Course, I have some thoughts on how it might be improved a little, but we can talk about that after you've read through the thread.
Hmmm, so long as he doesn't break it or lose the pieces... it might be OK. Though I'd prefer it stay here for the time being.
*Lets Fatatatita run off after Bryan and his crew, in hopes of meeting up with Gaffer.

 

[Skeeter Muppet]

Betty Lou: Rosita, Telly, Big Bird, Bert...don't feel too bad. You're not the only ones who don't have figures.
Gillis: Yes, that's true. And who knows? You may very well have figures in the future. Unlike us.
Boober: So we can all be depressed about it together!
Kim: *facepalms* Way to be positive and encouraging, guys...
Boober: Hey, just calling it like we see it.
Kim: How? Your hair and your hat are constantly in your eyes.
Boober: Eh, semantics.
