So many sad tributes...and I remember someone posted a video tribute for Jim, with someone singing an original song in a Kermit-esque voice.

As for Richard's tribute, I didn't start tearing up, but it caused a very substantial yank at the heartstrings. When I first heard "Saying Goodbye," it was Scooter's verse that affected me the most. And the tribute brought back all those memories.

And in between all this talk of things sad, I see that the thread has topped 500 pages - at least by my count.

it's sweet, i like it. so what if it isn't fancy and flashy, you made an effort and you wanted to show you cared, that's all that counts in tributes i say [i've gone sappy, i know]

Net's really slow, so I can't see it - but I'll bet it's worth a few chuckles. And now I've got "Monster Mash" stuck in my head.

JibJab's really cool; I remember when they first came out with "This Land." And when they showed clips of it on CNN, they had a lot of the audio bleeped out.

Did you all see the picture in the MuppetCentral review for the new Sesame book?

It's really cool: http://www.muppetcentral.com/_images/performers/hunt_ernie.jpg

I'm kind of thinking someone asked him to pose with Ernie, but he would only pose with the part of Ernie he performed.

Hey, Marianne, nice to see you around again.

Cool photo, really cool photo...although, Richard does look as if he ought to head back to the green room and catch a few Zs on the sofa or something. He's kind of got the Bob Geldof look there.

For a moment, I was wondering what that thing was around his neck - it looked like some kind of amulet, like an ankh or a giant Psyche. Then I realized it was the cording on the front of his shirt. (He really seemed to have a yen for striped rugby shirts back in the day - they look good on him.)

I'm suddenly thinking back to that one photo where he's right-handing Ernie while Jim and Frank go through their paces...and the look on his face suggests that he's thinking, "Please, don't let me fall over..."

I thought it was an amulet, too. But on second look, you're totally right. He looks really young there, too...I wonder if that's the "energetic" look everyone talks about.

I get the book tomorrow, I'll let you know if there are any other new pictures.
