The RHLC!

Yeah1 I remember Frank in the 60 Minutes interview saying how it's kind of therapeutic for preform the Muppets and how it was a good way of getting out frustrations and a way of saying things through the character that might not always be the best ides to say at certain time in real life. And I know that all the muppeteers feel that Kermit was an extension of Jim. Jim was saying in the interview how Kermit could say things that Jim couldn't and how eh does that Kermit might not say. Where Jim might go, Hmmm... Kermit will let you down easily or not so much depending and just flat out say that was terrible LOL! But they've all said similar things about how it a was of letting to all out or letting it go. I remember hearing this story about hoe Jim had to set up something with like Frank or somebody, and when ask how it went, Jim said Well, I didn't do so well, but Kermit did great!

Wow! Cantus calling Junior's heart little, haha! He should be one to talk.

Yeah, it was hinted somewhere that the reason there wasn't much back-stabbing among the performers was that they had an available outlet (read: the Muppets) for all their assorted stresses.

It was a very fortunate day, when Richard met Jim and the others. The door to the audition room opens and in comes a certain bright-eyed 18-year-old from the Jersey suburbs...and he'd be with them for the next 21 years.

Guys, wish me luck: I'm giving my oral presentation this afternoon on food and the Muppets (with some youtube clips), and I'm a nudge nervous.

You'll do great Erin. *Sickens at the thought of not yet having watched FR episodes for own writ, not to mention I have to talk about it to the professor. *Sigh, I've put more emphasis on another course's assignments due to the trouble these inheritance documents were last term. And now we're in the last three weeks of regular term... And my graduation... No, I'm not gonna burden you with my stuff. Erin, go get 'em and prove Muppets are the greatest educational agents ever!

 

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Well, I got an A on the ten-page paper part of the assignment, so there is hope. But honestly, I hate doing oral presentations. (though I think it's a safe bet the class will get a giggle out of the clips I've chosen)

 

[Fragglemuppet]

Yeah, good luck Erin! Wow, an A? Congradulations! I'm tired just thinking about it! And what clips are you showing for your presentation?

That's right Ed, you're doing that project on doozer law, right. Good luck with that! You know how I feel about Fraggle Rock, and I can't even contemplate that one!

 

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Oooh...a paper on Doozer law? My head hurts just thinking about that.

The talk went well; I showed "The Banana Boat Song," two Swedish Chef clips (the Japanese cake and the bread dough) and "Never Smile At a Crocodile." I think the Swedish Chef ones were the most popular (at least, I heard the most laughing during those two).

Many of the other students are doing PowerPoint routines for their presentations; I just stood up there and discussed things with my notes (and ad-libbed a few things), and then cued up the clips.

 

[The Count]

Well... It's not so much Doozer law as it is examining the Doozers' judicial system in the case of State v. Cotterpin Doozer, along with comparing it against Fragglian court practices in the case of Boober Fraggle v. Fraggle Rock, and of course adding SC judiciary traditions.
Hope that explains it a bit better.

 

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Ah.

As for me, I worked in a bit of discussion about how the Muppets could be a continuation of Theater of the Absurd, and cited the work of Eugene Ionesco (whom I have to do a paper on for another class - in French) as an example. The prof recommended that I also look at the work of Rabelais a little bit.

But about Muppets and Ionesco: in Ionesco's "Rhinoceros," all the residents (save one) of a little French town become sick with "rhinoceritis," which turns them all into rhinos. In the Roger Miller episode of TMS, the Muppets all get "cluckitis," which turns them all into chickens.

 

[Ilikemuppets]

glad you did well on you're term paper, Erin!

I wonder how this all would affect Camilla?

 

[CensoredAlso]

Sorry I didn't get to wish you luck, MN! I've been so exhausted this past week, lol. I'm really glad it all went well; I'm sure you did fine in the presentation.

Comparing doozer and fraggle judicial systems is a great idea. I recall in the "Red Handed" episode they had three random Fraggles chosen to be Venerable Sages simply because they were the first ones to show up! But then they were oddly responsible, insisting Red produce evidence before she convicted Mokey of a crime.

Wow...what do you know...

...Way down in the basement, everybody knows...

Guess who!
