The RHLC!

Well, I survived having my wisdom teeth removed, so I think I'll live. But thanks a bunch for the moral (or molar) support.

Oh dear, a cavity drilling, fun fun, heh. I haven't had a cavity in years thank goodness. But yeah, not as big a deal as having your wisdom teeth removed (I had all four removed at once, did you?). You'll be fine, just think pleasant thoughts! My dentist always had music playing which definitely helped. And he always said not to close your eyes because you'll just end up imaging the drilling as worse than it really is. It actually can be more comforting to know exactly what's going on.

I do agree about the Snuffy thing, the grown ups could be very cruel about it sometimes. That's a big reason why I think it was good to finally reveal Snuffy to them. It's just painful watching the adults make fun of Big Bird and tell him to stop imagining things. Though perhaps they were trying to demonstrate that parental figures often get frustrated and short tempered with their kids (who can be a lot to handle!)

Overall I'm pretty content with the whole Snuffy Saga. Sometimes children will unfortunately finds themselves in a position where they know something, but no one believes them. If that's the case, they need to learn to stick to their guns and not let adults say they're wrong.

Oh and btw, moral/molar...GROAN! hehe

So the Richard Muppetcast should be coming out soon, eh? Or perhaps I'm wrong. I'm quite behind in the posts.

Steve said the Richard Muppetcast would happen sometime in January, but he couldn't promise January 7th. So hopefully soon. I pretty much sent him every single bit of trivia I ever found (most of which is already in here lol), so it will be interesting to see how it turns out.

 

[MeepBorkMeep]

Neat, thanks for that Heralde. I guess we'll have to wait.

 

[CensoredAlso]

Yup, and I for one have absolutely no will power on this issue. lol

And nice to hear from you again, Meep!

(scanning MBM) Well, she looks like Marianne, and she talks like Marianne, so she must be. Nice to see you again!

Well, whatever Steve has to say on Richard, and whenever he says it, it's going to be worth listening to.

Hard to believe that it will have been 16 years...

 

[CensoredAlso]

Yes, and if he gets anything wrong, we can have a blast calling him on it! Hehe!

(no offence, Steve, hehe)

OMG, OMG! Hehe sorry, but something else just came up. I was watching one of my Sesame Street DVDs, "Sing Along." I got to the very end when the cast sings "What's the Name of That Song?" and the show fades out to the credits. During the fadeout there's this little bit of ad libbing between a kid and Biff. An antenna falls and some kids laugh at Biff, who is very upset. You hear a kid saying to Biff, "You call yourself a repair man?" and you hear Biff answer, "No a Republican! I call myself a Republican!" I already knew about that exchange; I've heard it many times. But this time...I thought I heard something else. I wasn't sure but...maybe...So I tried listening again. And there it was, definitely. Richard could also be heard in the background saying, "You busy after the show?" LOL

Sounds kinda random. But I thought about it and it actually makes sense. The whole little ad lib exchange always sounded kinda weird like they'd dubbed it in. So it was probably done in the recording studio while the company laid down the track for "What's the Name of that Song?" before filming took place. When Richard said that it sounded slightly far away like he was moving away from a microphone. And if you look at the actual scene, none of the kids actually seem to say "You call yourself a repairman?" None of the lip movements quite fit.

So I think while in the studio recording the track, the actors tried to stick in some extra dialogue that later ended up on the show. But evidently Richard was not paying attention, lol, and we ended up with "You busy after the show?" LOL

Wow, of all days to suddenly hear that.

 

[MartyMuppets]

Wow. That's amazing trivia heralde.

And Erin, my thoughts and prayers go out to you for the dental appointment.

16 years since Richard died. How fast time can go by, even regarding sad things.
