Well, I'm not Aussie. But my spectulation is that "It's Sydney of the bush" could refer to how a lot of people (this may be true, no idea) believes that Australia is either completely metro (like New York in terms) or completely sparse, only populated by Aubrigoines. (hence "the bush")

Y'know that's probely what is is, sara. Alot of people I've met online and things think that Aus is just bush, like 'the outback'. And it is in alot of places. Where I live, melbourne, on the other hand it's quite urban and it's known for it's shops and the city and Luna park and stuff like that. Renowed for one of the best holiday destinations actually, and I'm not surprised. :attitude: :smile:

I know I'm late (forgive me; I've had a terribly long week), but congrats to the RHLC on winning the MC Award, and to Sara on her engagement!

*hugs her Three Candles sister*

Just wanted to say Happy Birthday to Jim on this thread today! I recently found a Richard quote from an interview with the muppet performers while they were filming "The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson."

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]''It's history, like having your life played before your eyes,'' says Richard Hunt (Scooter), who describes the taping as ''a time for retrospection. ... a process of grieving for a friend (who died suddenly in May of pneumonia) and also for a way of life that for some of us has been continuous for 20 years. All of a sudden, your life is completely disrupted.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]''We've been spoiled. We were a small group of specialized talent that were needed and worked continuously for a long time. Now the focal point and the driving force is gone ... and there is an element of some sort of transition, how you gonna do it?''[/FONT]

They all must have felt very displaced at the time. Having something define your life for so many years, and then suddenly it's gone. Still, "The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson" ended up being a great event, both funny and touching. I'm sure Jim enjoyed and appreciated it.

Here's the link of the whole article, it was on the Muppet Central tribute page.
