Muppets Inside! (aka MI)- n, The nigh impossible to find Muppets computer game. Closest to interacting with a real muppet most of us will get.

Meepsterboy- n, lump once thought to be stone. This lump proved its life by typing. Occasionally leave desk chair to work on school.

Another abbreviation...

I've seen "It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie" abbreviated around here frequently as "VMX". Does that count?

Also, some posters around here refer to me as "CJ" (for Convincing John). That's another abbreviation for the MC Dictionary (if needed).

...

It's A Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie: A made-for-TV specil starring the Muppets and Joan Cusack as the villainistic banker, Rachael Bitterman, parodying the time-honored TV special, It's A Wonderful Life!
This Muppets Christmas specia can be found commonly abbreviated as either IAVMMCM, AVMMCM, VMMCM, or even just VMX.

We SERIOUSLY need to stop abbreviating!
But why DS? It's so easy here on MC to abbreviate all the TMS and MT! eps. and the movies too, like TMM and GMC. And other members need to be appreviated too, like TPC, MP, and CJ. :wink:

But it's also confusing for other people who don't realize what the abbreviations stand for (especially newbies around here).

You know... RD has a point. But still, there's stuff that should be left unabbreviated due to confusion with popular abbreviations. An example is a question I have for my Muppet Listings: should Mopatop's Shop be shortened to just MS? Frankly, I'd argue against it, cause some people would get confused with "MS" meaning The Muppet Show who don't add the article "Te" as part of the show/production's tile, kind of like how some say GMC instead of TGMC for The Great Muppet Caper.
Just something to thinkabout.
