What, I made sure they weren't important before I killed em. You're welcome.

Ooh Muppet Newsgirl's here. Ello. Hope you weren't caught in the guest-extermination.

Well okay, as long as there not important, then I guess it's okay. Hi Muppet Newsgirl!:smile: Glad to see you here!

(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?

I just thought it was kind of weird that I had that kind of hunch about Richard, only to learn 12 years later that it was true.

That's interesting, has anything like this ever happened to you before?

Yuck, those pesky guests. I'll get them out. *Pulls out exterminator equipment* Unless of course you are our one loyal guest, or perhaps a Muppeteer. Then you may stay. The rest of you? *Turns on machine gun*
I'm here! That's not very nice Meep.:big_grin: They might not come back and join us one of these days.

Yeah, it really has been quiet in here recently. Hi everybody!! No guests here now, though... MBM sure is the best at getting rid of them.

Muppet Newsgirl, that is really interesting. Intuition can be a really strange thing sometimes.
