(runs in wearing police-grade bulletproof vest, flak jacket, helmet and goggles) Hold your fire, MBM, it's me! (mutters something about itchy trigger finger) Lots of casualties out there. No one's died...but one's complaining that you somehow gave him trench mouth.
Just wanted to discuss something with you guys. I was 8 or 9 when I saw 'MCC' for the first time, and when I saw the "In Loving Memory..." screen dedicated to Jim and Richard, well...let me explain it like this:
While watching, I suddenly had a hunch that Richard had been a fairly young man (mid 30s-early 40s) at the time of his death, and that the cause of his passing was some type of cancer or equally grim disease.
Mind you, at age 8 I knew nothing about the Muppeteers other than what characters they played.
Flash forward several years and I then I learn that Richard had died at age 40 from AIDS (which is pretty much a kind of cancer).
What do you guys think?
