    Muppets™, Music & Magic: Jim Henson's Legacy

    Didn't know which forum to post this in... This event is coming to Portland starting this weekend, but I'm now unemployed, so will have to pick and choose which events to attend. Can anyone who has seen this in other cities make recommendations? Here's the schedule of screenings: DAVE...

    Photos of Kermit at my Wedding

    Believe it or not, my wife agreed to have Kermit the Frog take part in our wedding. Here are some photos from the rehearsal, ceremony, and reception! http://www.flickr.com/photos/hatsharpener/sets/72157612861065543/

    Kermit in my Wedding?

    This may be pushing my fiancée a bit, but it's worth a shot... I've got to get Kermit (Replica) in my wedding... admittedly, he is a little shy and therefore could not take a very active role (the whole not-being-able-to-move thing limits the possibilities), but I'm looking for ideas on how I...

    Rick Rolled

    If you've tried to watch anything on YouTube today (April Fools Day) you've probably been RickRolled. So was Beaker... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KANI2dpXLw

    Making Christmas Ornaments

    Having not been terribly thrilled with the quality of Muppet Ornaments out there I got some Palisades Mini Muppets off eBay recently. Anyone else made ornaments out of these? I expect there's not much to it, but if anyone had and troubles or recommendations I'd love to hear. I'll post photos...

    Muppet Mobile Labs

    I remember seeing a lot of video on YouTube and news on the web when Muppet Mobile Labs started roaming Disneyland as a test. Does anyone know whether this has gone into full rotation, or if it has made it out to Orlando? I've got some relatives getting married at DisneyWorld and would love to...

    Posing Your Kermit Replica

    I've seen some pretty terrible photos of the Kermit Replica out there - most on the MR site. I've also seen a ton of really great photos (mostly from people here). I did a lot of experimenting, and thought I would pass on advice to everyone else, and see if people had other ideas to help. 1...

    Steve and Jim

    Strange thought occurred to me last night. There are some people watching the Muppets today who will look back in later years and say they prefer Steve's Kermit to Jim's... Like people who prefer Roger Moore to Sean Connery, only worse... Not meaning to insult to Mr. Whitmire - he's a...

    Christmas Carol in the Theatre!

    OK, it's not "on TV" as the Forum would suggest, but the Muppet Christmas Carol is playing at the Colonial Theatre in Phoenixville, PA on at 2:00 PM December 20th (This Saturday)! If anyone lives in the Philadelphia area or just west, it's well worth the trip. It's an old theatre beautifully...

    Visit to JHC HQ

    I'm going to be in NYC tomorrow on a whim, and it will probably be my last time before moving to the west coast. I was therefore going to try to make it to 117 East 69th and poke around the lobby before it is sold. I read about Quinn's amazing trip, but am wondering if anyone else has had good...

    Moving Figures

    I'm going to be moving across the country in the not too distant future... Any thoughts on packing loose figures? I was thinking of just wrapping them in tissue paper and piling them in a box, but a lot of the paint rubs off rather easily, so I'm not too sure... As a kid, my friend had a big...

    Digital Trading? (DivX, VCD etc.)

    Just wondering if people are into any sort of digital Trading? That is to say, I've got DivX ;-) files of the entire first season of the Muppet Show - most with the original opening sequence on them... They take up a bout 6 GB... I have them burned as a pair of DVD-ROM discs. I'd love to...

    Muppet Show Openings?

    I was savoring my Time Life DVD's... slowly consuming one episode at a time, but I went on a Binge the other night, watching like 4 or 5 in a row. I grew up mainly on the movies and specials, so most of the shows are new to me! Anyhow, it got me thinking about the opening theme song and the...

    Qe2?

    Anyone read the little item on Palisades section about the cruise this past week on the QE2? How on Earth did this slip by unoticed (by me at any rate)? Is there any more information on what was going on? - Derek

    Original Movie Posters for DVD Covers

    So, I was thinking about the rather unpleasant covers on my 3 "classic" Muppet movie DVD's, and it occurred to me that I could replace them by simply printing out images of the original posters and slipping them under the plastic sheet... That leaves one problem - finding hi-res scans of the...

    Zoot's Head / Trade?

    I finally found another Zoot at Sam Goody today and picked it up to get for a friend... I was totally startled to find that his head looked awesome! :cool: My original Zoot has his magnet implant raised up a couple millimeters from the rest of his head, making him look somewhat like a muppet...

    Stickers (Palisades Design?)

    Does anyone know about these stickers? :confused: Their card design looks just like the Palisades cards for their Action Figures (series 4 and beyond)... http://www.emerchandise.com/product/STMUP0007/b.FAVORITES%20KIDSSTUFF%20MUPPETS/s.BA3NfQZm...

    Beaker the Every-Muppet

    Beaker has been my favorite since I was a very young... Anyone notice how our much abused hero can do absolutely anything? :eek: See attached images. Beaker the Comedian: Beaker the Go-Fer: Beaker the Animal: Anyone care to add to this? - Derek

    Zoot Blues

    :cool: :cool: Well, I'm loving the whole Muppet Line. I haven't gone to the mall excitedly looking for something like a child in a very long time. Anyhow, Zoot has always been one of my favorites - he's cool :cool: - I learned to play the sax largely because of him. So I'm ecstatic to...
