New Members: Please Post and Introduce Yourself

[Chezzie]

Hi Guys, I'm Wilbur but call me Will. I had never been a huge muppets/sesame street/puppet fan per se but my 2 year old son, Wilbur Jr (Wily) is crazy about the muppet movies and sesame street. I watch quite a bit of TV with him and sesame street and the muppet movies are some of the only things I watch with him that we both enjoy. We are contemplating going to see the movie with him, it would be his first trip to a theater.

Anyway, I wanted to join to kind of stay in the loop on news and what not, as well as meet some new friends.

Hi guys. I'm Stephen. I just got started collecting muppet-y things and look forward to meeting you all!

Welcome Chezzie and HandsomeGH. This is a great place to get to know other fans and stay on top of all news Muppets (at least I think it is).

Quick question HandsomeGH. Does the GH in your name stand for anything?

 

[HandsomeGH]

Oh yes. It stands for groundhog. I was born on feb. 2nd. lol.

Welcome in Chezzie and Handsome Groundhog! Er, I think Clifford's more of a catfishy...um...something...

Few simple guidelines to make your stay more enjoyable:
1. Rizzo cheats at three-card monte. Do NOT accept an offer to "play for free." The first one's ALWAYS free and he'll let you win it.
2. Gonzo should yell "FORE" or "HEADS" or "TIMBER" but never does. Be aware of the scent of cannon powder.
3. New members are not, in fact, REQUIRED to stand in for Beaker for one experiment...just suggested as a fun option.

Have fun!

Thanks guys!

Hi everyone.

I consider myself a new Muppet fan. I went and saw the new movie, loved it, and I am now Muppet crazy. Working my way through the released DVD seasons currently, and hope the older movies will be seeing a blu ray release in the future.

I was born in 87, so while I was exposed to the muppets through the Christmas carol and treasure island films, I had never really seen any of The Muppet Show. However I really loved Fraggle Rock as a kid, I'm disappointed that the Fraggle Movie doesn't seem to be getting anywhere.

I have always like playing with puppets though, and a year or so ago I started to put together a hand puppet YouTube series, although it didn't get that far as I couldn't nail down the format at the time. I am going to be trying again soon though, and will post elsewhere in the forum with more detail later but it will require collaboration.

Anyway YAAAAY Muppets!

Hi, Traveller. Call me Sarge.

Please stand by for your official newsmanfan welcome. In the mean time, you may:

Twiddle your thumbs
Have a conversation with a potato
Count the ceiling tiles
Stare at your rug
Hop on one foot while singing Mary Had a Little Lamb
Make friends with the local freaks

 

[Ozymandias]

Welcome Chezzie, HandsomeGH and Traveller! I am one of the local freaks that Sarge up here was speaking of. It's always good to see new faces here!

Hi Guys!

I just wanted to introduce myself.

I'm a long-term reader of Muppet Central (have been since 2000), but am only just joining up now to discuss the new movie. I am in the UK (hence the delay!)

I have been a Muppets fan since I could look at a TV screen. Scooter is my favourite Muppet as I wear glasses so as I child I was always attracted to characters that did the same. I guess Scooter was a role model in that sense! I also have a soft spot for Gonzo and Rowlf. I have been compared to Kermit several times which is a great compliment and won a Kermit award at laughingplace.com a few years back.

I pretty much love anything Henson. Fraggle Rock is awesome! Watching Dark Crystal and Labyrinth were formative experiences. You know the drill.

I also really love Muppet music. I sing in an acapella group and I think they are fed up with me suggesting Muppet songs!

I see that there is a big Muppet community in the UK so I hope to become a part of that!

Thanks for listening!!!
