Hi, it's great to be Here! I am ZootyCutie! I have read Muppet Central, but have never been on it. By looking at my screen name, I bet you could guess my favorite Muppet!

Zoot speaking of Zoot isn't he a cutie ZootyCutie get it

I've always loved the muppets and in particular Gonzo but have only recently restarted my love for them.

Hi guys!

Just recently came across the MC Forum while trying to fulfill a lifelong dream. I basically grew up on Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, and Fraggle Rock. While kids often outgrow the things they are into, the Muppets never left my side. I guess there is a timelessness about them that appeals to people of all ages. Anyhow, here I am at 33, and my love for all things Muppet is as strong (or stronger) today as it was back then.

Favorite Muppets: Animal (he's an old school favorite) and Pepe (my favorite of the newer Muppets)
Favorite Muppet movies: The Muppets Take Manhattan & Muppets From Space

Just saw "Stuffed and Unstrung" in San Francisco a couple of weeks back, and would highly recommend it for anyone who like Muppets with a bit of an edge to them. Also went to the D23 expo to catch a glimpse (though a brief one) of Kermit and Piggy a couple of weeks back, which was a lot of fun.

Annnnnd, I couldn't be more excited for "The Muppets" movie coming out in November... which leads me to this dream that I speak of. I've had a lifelong dream of wanting to meet the Muppets (haven't we all!). I decided I would leave it to the power of social networking to see if there was a possibility of making that dream a reality (a la "My Date With Drew"). I didn't want to risk posting the FB page I created in the wrong forum, so maybe I'll just post it here instead. I'm hoping others might be able to help me spread the word. Most importantly, I'm trying to get some "like" power behind my page in hopes that this might actually happen. So here it is:

Would really appreciate any support that I could get, as I know it is a long shot. If any of the moderators would care to help spread the word, I would be eternally greatful.

Really looking forward to being a part of your awesome community, and I can't wait to meet you all (albeit virtually). Thanks for having me!

Welcome in MyMuppetWish! And yes...I think we ALL would be thrilled to meet any Muppet in the felt, even if they weren't our favorite character!

Nice to see some older folk coming through those big golden doors. Well, relatively older, anyway. Variety in fandom is always a good thing! Here's your complimentary towel and bars of soap (er, at least they CLAIM it's soap) courtesy of Muppet Labs...be sure to tune in to Muppet News every day...oh! And this is a coupon redeemable for one muffin from The Count. Use it wisely. Enjoy!

Hello, I'm Robodog and I've been a Henson fan ever since I can remember. I grew up in the 80s which was a great era for Henson stuff. I've seen all three original Muppet Movies in theatres though with the first one I kind of have to take my mom's word for it as I was only two at the time. I was also a huge Fraggle Rock and Labyrinth fan. I didn't see The Dark Crystal until I was in my late teens though. I sat up till 3 AM to catch it on ( I think ) The Disney Channel.
Aside from Muppets I also am obsessed with collecting toy dogs, particularly robotic pet type dogs like FurReal Friends or Poo-Chi. Sadly though I've collected toy dogs off and on since junior high I have never owned any Rowlf, Sprocket or Barkley merchandise. The chance to acquire such things just never surfaced for me. When I was four I saw an ad for the Fisher Price Muppet collection in one of my mom's magazines and became obsessed with owning the Rowlf puppet. My mom tried desperately to find it for me and even had my grandfather searching for it several states over but they never found it. Naturally, since I started collecting toy dogs this has become a Holy Grail of sorts for me. Sadly unless I get lucky at a yard sale it's probably a hole that will never be filled since I don't like messing with Ebay and probably couldn't afford one even if I did.
