How hardcore are you?

[beaker]

Ok, theres just a little over 600 people on MC. Maybe JH' estimate of near 1000 hardcore fans worldwide is correct. Never the less, I was just curious how hardcore some of you are?
Right now I have my electric mayhem shirt on(im always usually wearing either a muppet or anime shirt, heh) and also sometimes wear either my Muppet Movie or Bear watch. I also have a Muppet tooth brush(tho that Muppet tooth paste had to be replaced by the more fresher crest) And yes, even Muppet bandages. No this isnt a post about what you have in your colelction...no, about what you actually use/wear.

Heck, if you wanna get into the nitty gritty, there are now Muppet underwear, checkbooks, and cellphone plates(tho I have none of these)

[Warrick]

I am very hardcore.

So hardcore that i could never 'use' any Muppet thing.

It makes me shake to know that people actualy wear Mupept clothes and use Muppet toothbrushes!

See ya

warrick, thats why its called having 'doubles'! LOL

[MuppetQuilter]

Okay, this might not be the best thing to admit, but I have a Muppet room. Does that count? The bottom half of the walls are painted green and there is a pale purple 'wave' that is about 6 inches high that goes all around the room (right where the green stops). The lyrics to Rainbow Connection are painted, in a rainbow of colors, in the purple. Muppet posters, pictures, and a Sesame Street quilt hang on the upper half of the walls. The curtain is made out of an old Muppet sheet. Does that count as hard core?

Hardcore ? heck no - I think you just qualified as Henson Company President ! LOL

Me myself - this is gonna REALLY shock people. I have a few videos and magazines, a figure or two on the way, some old toys and games in the attic, some books and burger king premiums, and some gifts from people (BITBBH Plush, Rizzo Plush Magnet) oh and some pins. Thats it !!!!

I'm not so much a collector (though thats changing now a bit) but i've always throughout my life been into the shows and characters. So i'm very hardcore in spirit i guess !

It certainly does! Good to hear of fellow Muppet decorators on here!

[towels]

Well, I got a kermit plush on my monitor, and I'm using my applause Kermit mug, and I used to wear my watch (it just needs a new band), but I suppose the most hard core thing would be "Never Before, Never Again" as my wedding song...
can I count?
I wanna be hard core...

[radionate]

Am I hard core....Let's see:

I've dubbed the laboratories where I work "Muppet Labs".
My desktop at work is Kermit
My screensaver is a bunch of Muppet Movie Paradies
But Rocky and Bullwinkle decorate my office (along with a few misc. toys)
Most of my Muppet stuff is still packed up in boxes at my folks house. Although all my Igel plush is displayed along my CD and VCR cabnets.
My kitchen is Alice and Wonderland and Lunchboxes, and my bathroom is "Pie-eyed Mickey" (all black, white, red and yellow).
My other bathroom is nothing but a collection of framed got milk ads (I'm up to 35 or 45 so far, I'm running out of room) and cow/milk stuff.
My dining room is the radio room, with all my broadcasting souvieners.

So I guess I'm just a geek, not a uber collector.

[Crazy Harry]

I may be a bit behind in the way of geekyness. Muppet beanbag toys from Disneyland soround my computer. I have all four of the non-exclucive figures and am still on a frantic search to find the lab. My computer's wallpaper is made from several of the images I got off of the character guide from Kermitage.

[fluffmuppet]

I dunno how Hardcore I am, really. I have MTM, TMM, MFS, and GMC movies, plus I have a Gonzo plushie and I have made about 6 puppets so far...heheh

Oh yeah, I've seen Muppet Vision in Florida a couple of times...if that means anything...heh. :P

All I can say is if you love the Muppets, then you're obviously a fan, right? It doesn't matter WHAT you have, but the feelings and joy you get from the Muppets or any other creature Jim Henson has made to make people like you an me...well, happy! Isn't that what being a fan really is about? :D

[salthemonkey]

In the bedroom is a full wall mural with Bear in the Blue House , Tutter, Ojo, Treelo, Pip & Pop, Kermit, Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie, Beaker, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Elmo. I just spent about $55 to get Rowlf's Rhapsodies because I needed it....

Me and my wife celebrated our ten year anniversary and the cake had Kermit in a Tux and Piggy with the boa. We choose to remarry and had on a power point the clip from MTM the wedding scene of course. When we were re-pronounced man and wife that was the cue to play the second part where all the Muppets cheer.

Does this qualify as hardcore? I don't think so...if I was using a Muppet toothbrush then I would think HARDCORE.

Yep! That's what matters.

well...as long as ya can name 'the two old guys' ^_^
no, but this thread was just to see *how* zany some of us have become in our mania;)

[grail]

you mean like racking up almost 700 posts in a Muppets forum even though they don't have a computer?

[Warrick]

I suppose having all the movies about five times, One by each release is a bit hardcore aswell eh ?

See ya

You aren't Hardcore, you are just scary sometimes! j/k :D

[salthemonkey]

Have you ever found yourself quoting the Muppets?

I've noticed at times I'll end up doing a Fozzie "Aahh...Woka woka" and then when people look at me like a loon the it hits me that they just don't understand...then I'll say "You are all wierdos!" - Sam the Eagle

[radionate]

I quote the Muppets way too much. Here are the main ones (can you identify where they came from?):

"Heat Wave! This is my island in the sun. huo huo!"

"Bear Right. Frog Left."

"I'm lost. Have you tried Hare Krishna?" (Please excuse the spelling)

"It's a myth, myth, myth." "Yes?"

i use this more than should be legally allowed...

and then there was my comment the other day about my feelings on the tux Rowlf figure. "he's no Heifitz, but he'll get bought"

well, i thought that was funny, anyway...

[beaker]

Hey buddy, I have big things in the works...Im just in the meantime spending my time with the great luxury of 19" flat panel t1 connection free use^_^

[beaker]

>>>Have you ever found yourself quoting the Muppets?<<<

Well, lately in regards to JHC finding itself and the Muppets coming back to a golden era..."someday we'll find it, the rainbow conenction"

[Sir Didymus]

My room is full of muppet toys, video's and other misc. My walls are full of autographed photos of the muppets that i wrote to henson asking for. I also have an autographed pic of yoda that says: "To Jake! Love, Frank Oz "Yoda". The address i wrote to asking for it is:

Frank Oz
c/o The Muppets
PO Box 20726
New York, NY 10023-1488

I also am working on buying some posters to put up. I have a muppet pillowcase with Miss Piggy on it. Okay, I'm really embarased now!! :)

So that's about it for moi! Oh...I also make my own Muppet C.D.s.

Sir Didymus

[Gonzo]

I have two Kermit watches and a Fozzie Bear watch--I'm usually wearing one of the three...I also have a Kermit sticker on the back of my car, a Kermit hanging from my rearview mirror, and a Kermit keychain.

And about 40 Rubber Duckies in the bathroom, although it's not necessarily Muppety, it's certainly Ernie-inspired.

Quinnnnnnnnnn

[EmmyMik]

Hmmmm...

I don't think I'm hardcore. A geek, but not hardcore.

In my room I have:

A nice collection of tapes
A Tomy Gobo doll (but my parents got that for me when I was little. I'm not sure that goes towards hardcore points)
Pictures of Muppets and stuff (that I printed off of the internet)
Various dolls and things (from Sesame Street and Bear in the Big Blue House, but it's only a couple).
Autographs and letters from the Muppeteers (from when I wrote to them about Richard. And those are my most prized Muppety possessions)
The Palisades Muppet Action figures (and lunchboxes)

All in all, I'm not the collector type (although I'm pretty darn sure I didn't list everything, but does it matter?). So in the material sense I'm probably not hardcore, however I am most likely hardcore at heart **cough**BBB!**cough**...

[Gonzo]

I also have a piece of Gonzo's fur on my fridge from "Muppets From Space;" that's one of my most prized possessions. My friend has one of Big Bird's feathers. I've got to find a way to guilt her into giving it to me.

Oh yes, it will be mine.

Quinnnnnn

[Janice & Mokey's Man]

Well, I got me a kouple of TMS lunkhboxes, 2 GM"SEE" glasses, TMM stationery, Kermit & Piggy mugs, Rowlf Muppet puppet, videos gaLORE, books gaLORE, several "SEE"Ds, a severed Miss Piggy head whikh sits on top of my TV here in my offise (this is where most of my Muppet stuff is), a "Dark Krystal" lunkhbox, a Bunsen & Beaker shirt whikh is now somewhere in another parallel universe, I made a website for my "groovy" gal, and I went on a shoppin' rampage last night for Muppety shirts and panties.




It's your kall.

[Jackie]

I don't have much stuff at all. Not compared to you guys. But i do have Nanco plushes EVERYWHERE thanks to Joe :)

[Gonzo]

I think Sasquatch will be wearing his muppet panties. But that is a little better than him being naked all the time. Either way I will not be watching.

Everyone please stop takling right now.
