[Fragglemuppet]

Hi and welcome to the latest bunch of new members!

Arianne, congradulations on making Jim Henson and his work as much a part of your academic work as possible! But would you mind explaining a bit more about your Sesame Street paper? What do you mean by "civil religion"?

 

[StreetFan]

Hello to all the newest members! And a special howdy to my "neighbor" Streetfan! So glad you decided to be official!

LOL, if by neighbors you mean 30 minutes away, then yup. But yes, we've met IRL a few times through a local moms' group; Cindy's a sweet lady!

Love that SuperGrover smilie!

Hello everybody

My Name is Angélica. I am from Holland. For my work at a daycare I was looking for sesamestreet and I found this forum. It remembered me how much I always liked the muppets and Jim Henson. In my work I try to be creative and musical. I play the guitar. For my work I did:I don't want to live on the moon from Ernie. It was beautifull to see the reactions. I also made a muppet that is a kind of between cookiemonster and Elmo. It was much fun. I am not a big writer but I hope to hear from someone here.

Greetings from Angélica.

Hello to all of my long lost family of fellow frog lovers! I joined Muppet Central a few days ago after reading and re-reading, then analyzing the threads on MR's Gonzo Replica. I am happy to say, that thanks to the wonderful words of wisdom, and exquisite photos by members here, I ordered my Gonzo today . I must give a special thanks to Lab Rat, that latest batch of photos sealed the deal for me and I knew I could no longer live with my own blue weirdo! Thanks to all for a wonderful site and thanks for letting me come aboard!

You have the greatest screenname ever! Welcome to the forum.

Welcome everybody! I go by MrsPepper (or just Pepper) and if you have a question don't be shy to ask me, or anyone else on the forum (we're all very friendly, I promise!)

Welcome, ViNaCaT (that is such a MARVELOUS name)! I do believe there are a couple or so of us who have already had the greatest pleasure of meeting you beforehand on a place with the words "face" and "book" in it.

LOL! I'm being silly. But, seriously, it is great to have you here, and I hope you have loads of fun (most particularly in the "Fan Fiction" and "Games" section.... ).

Duplicate post, previously unapproved posts, introduction split between the two.

Hi all!

Well, my name is Miles. I'm 24, and have been an avid Muppet fan for as long as I can remember, so a little over 20 years now.

My earliest memory is of getting my first Muppets toys. It was Christmas 1987, the year that "Muppet Family Christmas" was first broadcast. I was sleeping at my grandparent's house, when my sister woke me up with 2 gifts that my parents had just bought me: It was a Baby Kermit and a Baby Piggy doll, the ones that had been sold at McDonald's as a promotion for the TV special. I still have the two, though I've since had to repair them. Kermit's lost his vest, and I had to his Santa hat on to keep it from falling off all the time. And Miss Piggy's back ripped, making me repair it with the only thread I had available at the time (red). (I was about 10 when I did that, so I wasn't in any danger). I later found the Baby Fozzie at a garage sale. During my sophomore year of high school, I got introduced to eBay, and managed to find a complete set that was in pristine condition! not to mention a complete set that was still in their plastic bags! (If you can't tell, I'm a bit obsessive with them).

Also, until I was about 6, my dad would record the Christmas specials that were shown on TV. The end result is 3 video tapes full of animated specials, including the original broadcast of "Muppet Family Christmas", several episodes of "The Muppet Show", and even the "The Muppets: A Celebration of 30 Years" special. My dad was smart, too, because after he was done recording the 3 tapes, he broke the "Record" tab off of the tapes, so that we'd always have them. 20 years old, and they're still fun to watch!

My favorite Muppets are Kermit (of course), Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, Rowlf, Pepe, Gobo, Cantus, Dr. Teeth, and Sweetums.

My favorite show is definately "The Muppet Show". I have seasons 1 and 2 on DVD, and am excited for season 3 to be released in a couple of months. My favorite sketches are "Mahna Mahna", "Happy Feet", and "Fears" (the poem performed by Zero Mostel in the second season).

My favorite movie is, by far, "The Muppets Take Manhattan", followed by "The Muppet Christmas Carol", "The Great Muppet Caper", and "The Muppet Movie". I also love "Follow That Bird!", "Labyrinth" and "The Dark Crystal".

Hmm... I can't think of anything else to say. And since I've already said a lot, I think I'll just shut up now. XD
*waves* Hi all!
