* = But possibly never used it to break into CTW/SW's workshops... Only the Henson studios to break/kidnap Muppets and Muppeteers.

 

[superfan]

aaah, so I have been using my asteriks *...* incorrectly, then. I use them for both sounds AND actions.

*mumbles to self*

 

[Ziffel]

Yeah I thought an asterick before an action as in... *smacks forehead ...
was for any action. Didn't know it should also be accompanied by a sound.
*mulls this over a few seconds

And I also first saw this asterick/action thing used by someone as a single asterick, rather than one at the end also. So my tendency has always been to use the single since that's how I was "taught". heeheehee

BTW, that "heeheehee" is the way I like to do laughing, instead of hehe (since "he" means male gender) and I like three hee's instead of two because Ernie always laughed with at least three syllables (eg. KEE HEE HEE! or KEE HEE HEE HEE HEE!). But I also occasionally like to use "haw haw haw" for laughing purposes. I seldom use the famous LOL because I usually am laughing inside more often than actually laughing out loud, or my laughing out loud had already taken place upon reading the quote (and not while typing a reply). Brings to mind still another personal code of mine - I like WOCL (Walks on ceiling laughing) instead of ROFL. Oh and when in a really silly and goofy mood I rather enjoy "yesh" for "yes" (as Prince Charming in SS would say).

Okay now I'm starting to muffin so...

 

[The Count]

Well... You could always also use "Yeth" like Myth (Carol Kane) from TMM.
Few things...

The entry for 3004 and the punctuation mark entries should probably go at the top of the list, punctuation first and then numbers because they fall outside of any proper lettered alphabetization. At least, that's how I tend to rationalize some of the entries in my Muppet Listings. There, I generally reserve entries with apostrophies for after all the others that proceed it. Same with an entry that has a "," title following the character's main name.

Also, the entry for "Ushy-Gushy" should be after the added entry for TMTM, the way you have it now shows an U entry before a T entry.
And the single asterisk to denote action can be used with either one asterisk before the action, or one before and a second afterwards. Both are accepted, we usually use those to indicate either action or sound action separate from our main conversation posts in the dorms.
Hope this helps.
