Haha, yeah when I first started thinking about his middle name, I thought Adam, too. That's probably not it. After that, I started thinking maybe his middle name was Perfection... Richard Perfection Hunt. It fits him... but that's probably not it, either.

Besides, Perfection seems more suitable for, say, Frank Oz. I read in Of Muppets and Men that Linda Lavin didn't feel very comfortable around him at first. She said he seemed a little too serious.

On the other hand, it looks like Linda and Richard hit it off "before I even met him." There's that little anecdote of him waving to her from his car on the way up from London.

I love that anecdote. There's another thread about Working With Frank Oz, where they discuss his perfection. Some people who know him say he's real sweet.

I was just looking up at my second to last post, and I saw the word Muppetcentral bleeped out. It was merely the d-word. Like darn, but with an m. Sorry for any confusion as to how terrible my language really was.

That is a really cute anecdote. I love hearing/reading stories about him. Gosh, he was such an adorable guy!

MBM, that's alright... I kinda figured that was the word you'd used. No need to worry!

"He was such an adorable guy..." and the fact that this thread has quickly topped 15 pages clearly attests to that.

Don't fret about it, MBM. Trust me, I've heard a lot worse.

Very, very true. I love it.

Man, I have yet for Richard to pick me for a dream. Maybe this is just his way of being funny.

 

[MeepBorkMeep]

Yeah. Ha ha ha, Richard, but some of us are having sleep-deprivation.

I'm going on vacation tomorrow (To Disney world YAY!) and I always get really awesome dreams when I go on vacation. So maybe he'll come then.

 

[Ilikemuppets]

Especially sense the Muppet's are a Disney property now.

 

[Skye]

Oh yay. MBM, I hope you have a terrific time!

And wishing everybody lots of happy and wonderful Richard dreams!

I believe I've already posted this somewhere else, but I'm reposting this for the club to see.

My Clipboard.
Normally it means nothing to me,
but today, I see it anew.​

As I mourn, I celebrate.
As I laugh, I cry.
I wonder how such greatness could make such a man.
Piano player, forgetful, the go-getter, the opera.
The kid who loved to show things to his ma.
The kid who loved to always help, and always sing.​

I smile when I hear his sweet melodic voice.
I cry when I watch his characters light up.
I think of you, all the time.​

Garlic popcorn brings back sweet memories.
My clipboard in my arms, makes me smile.
My computer...and yet I cry again.​

I wish I could help you, sweet man of happiness.
But, you are nevermore, your visage is nothing but a memory,
in our minds, and in our hearts.​

Though, with no words, you touched me.
In my time of sadness, the thought of you pulled me through.
You did not know it, but you helped me.
Your love of life, saved me from misery.
Your songs, saved me from tears.​

Your pestering...made me laugh. ​

I always have dreamed that I could be related to you.
Perhaps share in your genes that greatness you held.
I will never know, but, I always believe you are in my heart.​

Sweet man, you sing and dance in heaven now.
I know my treasure lies with you and your friends,
we shall all have a show, high in the sky.
But, that time is not near.
So I wait, in happiness for it to appear.​

Dearest Richard, or may I call you Rich?
I wish you hear this, from my heart and from my mind,
I love you.
I love you for what you showed us,
that dreams are always possible,
never give up, always try.​

And when all else fails, bring up your Uncle.​

Ok, I just wanted to bump this up to this page for two reasons:
1. Because somehow I missed it the first time I went through the messages in this thread... explain that one to me nice and slow , and
2. Because I think it's gorgeous and so sweet. It actually almost made me cry (which takes a lot). I really love this! Very, very nice.
