*knocks on Ed's door*

Hello Count, is Ed in? Ah, good.

Ed, I ws wondering about a floor-plan...do you think someone could drw one? I get so confused....

The Count

06-22-2005, 09:41 AM

Oh hey Bo. Well, sure. If anyone wants to draw up a plan of what the dorms looks like, the floor/room layouts, that sort of stuff... They could always come here and we could chat about it.
Don't have anyone lined up for that at the moment. Haven't heard from Scooter (the MC forum member) since we started up the dorms again. But if you know of anyone talented enough like maybe Kyle or Vibs, then tell 'em they can contact me if they'd like to start on sketching the dorms.

See you at the parties this weekend.

Beauregard

06-22-2005, 09:44 AM

Bo: Certainly will *sniggers, whispers* And I have surprises in store fro the both of them...
Beau: Oh! You mea-n the -
Bo: Zip it!
Beau: *blinks* Ri-ght...

Erine81981

*wakes up* Whoa. That was some party. I'll never eat that much cookie to see who will win. *sees Cookie Monster passed out on the floor with a box of cookies in hand* You win you cookie eatting monster.

Grover: *wakes up* Hey every..........oh I'm to tired to say anything. Bathroom break. *goes to the dorms bathroom*

*sees Oscar's can, yells in can all drunk like* YOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Oscar: *pops up from behind the couch* WHAT!? Leave me alone! I need my grouchy sleep.

Just seeing where your were. Go back to sleep your grouchyness.

Oscar: *climbs into can and leaves into the hallway*

Seems everyone trashed out at my place. *sees Ryan, Lew, Mahna, Penguin, UD, Lisa, Ambrosius and Nyssa* I've got to use the bathroom too. *walks out the door and trips* OW! Who tripped me? *looks and sees Ludo curled up outside my door* Oh it was you. Thats ok. *goes on to the bathroom*

06-22-2005, 01:31 PM

Prairie:Hey Kath? Ready to party hearty this weekend?
Yeah! :) I'm headed down to the Muppet Mall to get some stuff. Want to go with me?
Prairie:You don't need to ask me twice. I love the mall..
*laugh* Join the club!

redBoobergurl

06-22-2005, 01:57 PM

Red, I'm confused. Did we miss the party or not?
Red: I think the Count said that there are two parties this weekend, one for Nyssa's birthday and the other one to celebrate the dorms. So we didn't miss those. However, I think a few others had a smaller party last night, so we missed that.
Oh, ok, I was confused! Thanks! Well, at least we didn't miss the big parties this weekend! I'm excited! Parties are fun!
Red: I agree! The dorms are such a great place to be, I'm glad we're going to celebrate them!
Me too! We should go shopping for some goodies to share!
Red: That's a great idea!

RedDragon

06-22-2005, 02:01 PM

Aguh, Man that was fun, but I guess we jumped the party gun, oh well. Ludo, Ambrosius, come on let's get back to the room. You know, change our clothes, take a bath, then come back and wake everyone up so we can start cleaning.

<Leaves>

<Comes back a half an hour later>

Ok everyone, WAKE UP! LET'S GET CLEANING!

"CLEAN UP! CLEAN UP!
EVERYBODY EVERYWHERE!
CLEAN UP! CLEAN UP!
EVERYBODY DO YOUR SHARE!"

COME ON PEOPLE, UP AND ATOM! LET'S GO!

<opens right eye>
Nyssa, if you would kindly stop singing barney... I would appreciate it...
<shuts right eye>

RedDragon

06-22-2005, 02:44 PM

Wake Up Lazy Bones! Out Of Bed....wait, I mean, Off The Floor! Get Up!

The Count

06-22-2005, 03:05 PM

*Hears Lisa replying to Nyssa. Agreed.

*In ghastly voice: Don't... bring... that weak stuff... into... our... house!
Now then, hope you have a good time at cleaning. And if you need a cleaning tune, then at least switch to something more like Whistle While You Work. A bit sweet, but at least it's from Disney's golden age.

Oh yeah, I'll be back later, think I'll do a bit of shopping down at the Muppet Mall's supermarket. Also need some blank video tapes. Wonder if I can get a ride with Kathy and Prairie.

The Count

06-22-2005, 07:14 PM

Hey guys, we're back. Did some shopping, enough to have the basics restocked here at the dorms common room kitchen areas. Also got a few things the Swedish Chef asked for, will drop those off with Lisa.

Maybe I'll do another bit of figure reorganization. The good thing is that the shelf above my computer will be mostly cleared away for some more MOC Muppet exclusive figures, will probably hunt those down later.
Also need to get the video tapes for a possible deal, will try to get 'em tomorrow.

Have a good night guys and gals and Muppets.

theprawncracker

06-22-2005, 08:33 PM

What? The parties aren't 'til this weekend!

UD: Oh, well that explains why we didn't seem to have a host last night!

Penguin: Squack!

Lew: I'm confused!

About what?

Lew: Aren't Muppet penguins supposed to be able to talk?

Hey, yeah, they are!

(Everyone looks at penguin)

Penguin: Ha ha ha... Fine, I can talk, you win!

UD: Why didn't you talk before?

Penguin: I never had anything enteresting to say!

The Count

06-22-2005, 09:53 PM

Hey guys, was wondering if I could get some help/opinions on something. Thing is, I'm working on getting the creatures on my Monster Roster added up to the castle's contents. Got two so far, and was wondering what you thought regarding who should be #14. The beings could be based on mythic monsters or inanimate objects, so long as they fit the scenario of what could be considered our homely castle.

The two options I got are either... a humanoid based on the human heart, or the Queen of Hearts. Got my idea, but guess I'm looking for a bit of feedback. LMK via PM so as not to take up space here at the dorm's own thread.

Thanks and hope to hear from someone soon. If not, then that's OK too, I'll just go with my own choice.

Beauregard

06-23-2005, 08:19 AM

Bo: *sits at computer and types a little of What's on the other side* Oh dear, I know what I want to say....just not how to say it.
Beau: You could just, you know, say it.
Bo: Uh huh...that'd help...not...
Beau: Always ready to help, boss.
Bo: Um...I just don't what that weird gal to start nagging me again....:p

theprawncracker

06-23-2005, 08:23 AM

Bo: Um...I just don't what that weird gal to start nagging me again....
You never want that to happen! And once she starts, she won't stop!:) We love you Lisa!

The Count

06-23-2005, 08:38 AM

Hey, anybody want some breakfast? Going down to get some cereal from the cupboard. Ah, Cracklin' Oat Bran. Good times.
Hmmm, wonder what's on the agenda?

Ah yes, take care of the videos and figures and a bit of projects.
Well, hope everyone else will be roaring to get into the pools later. That's always a good place to go now in the summer months.

JaniceFerSure

06-23-2005, 09:30 AM

Hey. It goes fine for us down in 1 Room. Groove on Lady Songbird.

redBoobergurl

06-23-2005, 02:05 PM

Red: I'm heading down to the pool, want to come?
Gosh yes! I'm too hot to move, the pool sounds great!
Red: Well then let's go!
Hang on, I just gotta get up...it's really challenging on a day like today!
Red: Here, let me help. *give me a hand*
All right, now I'm ready to go! If anyone wants to join us, I'm sure we'll be there all afternoon.
Red: I know I will be!

The Count

06-23-2005, 02:13 PM

Well... One less piece of business to worry about. Gave my friend the CD we won on eBay, rully pleased he was. Just gotta post feedback to seal the deal.
Think I'll rest in our ICE cooled room. Anyone need us, we'll be there. Then again, might be Count von Count could be down at the pools. Oh well, hope you guys have a good time.

theprawncracker

06-23-2005, 02:21 PM

Well UD, I finished my fan-fic.

UD: How'd it go over?

I loved how it turned out, I think everyone else did to.

UD: That's wonderful Ryan! Are you going to right another?

You know what UD? I think I might!

TogetherAgain

06-23-2005, 02:43 PM

Hm. Pool sounds happy. What do you say, chef? it's 90-something degrees, wanna take a dip?

Chef: I'd rezeer meke-a oone-a

Aw come on. Please?

Chef: Nu.

Well, I'm going. I'll see ya later, alright?

<heads for pool>

The Count

06-23-2005, 03:15 PM

Hmmm, wonder if Chef got the groceries I left with Lisa last night.
Oh well... Time for a good TV rest.

theprawncracker

06-23-2005, 03:22 PM

Come on guys, we're going to the pool!

UD: Good, I need a good tan!

Penguin: Water is partly my natural habitat.

Lew: I love the pool!

Mahna: Mahna Mahna!

Hey Nyssa, happy sweet sixteen! Need a hand for the party?

The Count

06-24-2005, 11:52 AM

Huh? The party started already? Well, before Kyle and the Monsters beat me to it...

*Sing.*

Cvc: 16 Candles!
Me: Make a lovely light.
But not as bright.
Aas your eyes tonight!

*Bats harmonizing and keeping time with the backbeat.

Grover: We have to get ready for the party tonight.

I have to go to work at 4 and won't be able to see or be here.

Grover: We'll do something about that.

Herry: Got the you know what present.

Good! Now just wrapping it up.

Grover: I'll do that. *goes off to wrap the present*

Since I still have time. Lets go over to her room and do something speical.

Cookie M: Sound good to me.

Goes over to room 8....... *knock knock*

Ok guys hit! *a band of anything muppets start playing "Happy Birthday to you"*

Me: When it's my birthday, it really is great
I pull up the covers and I sleep really late
I'll take a nice hot bath with millions of bubbles
I'll read a good book and forget all my troubles
And that's my special way
To spend my very special day
And that's the way it's always gonna be
When I say, "Happy Birthday to me!"

Count comes in

Count Von Count: When it's my birthday, I never will fail
To count all the cards that I get in the mail
I count the cake and candles up on the shelf
And count all the gifts that I give to myself
One present, two presents, three presents, four presents,
Five beautiful presents! 'A 'a 'a! (thunder and lightning)
And that's my special way
To spend my very special day
And that's the way it's always going to be
When I say happy, say happy,
Say, "Happy Birthday to me!"

Oscar comes in and sticks his head out of the trashcan

Oscar: When it's my birthday, I hope that we get
A cold rainy day so my presents get wet
I'll put some extra fish on my birthday cake
And tell all my friends to go jump in the lake
And that's my special way, heh heh,
To spend my very special day
And that's the way it's always gonna be
When I say, "Happy Birthday to me!"
(goes back into trashcan, and the lid bangs him on his head) Ow!

Me: Ok your turn Nyssa. Sing!

(Herry and Cookie Monster comes in with a big birthday cake!)

Nyssa: When it's my birthday, I think that I'll spend
The whole day out playing with my all my friends at MCD
When I see lots of candles, I'll give a shout
And I'll let my friends help me blow them out
And that's my special way
To spend my very special day
And that's the way it's always gonna be
When I say, "Happy Birthday to me!"
(The gang of MCD comes in with a birthday cake. Herry snezzes and the cake splatters up against Nyssa's door.)

Herry: Woops!

Count: To me!

Oscar: To me!

Nyssa: To me!

All: To me!

(Oscar throws his cake on the ground and it lands with a 'squish')

Oscar!?

Oscar: What?!

Probability, don't you mess with me. Cause I got a ghost of a chance.

Count: Ewerything all fright Eduardo?
Oh hi Count. Yeah, just checked my credit card account and the charge for my two Uncle Deadly figures finally appeared.
Hopefully, they'll be shipping next week. And we also have to keep an eye out for the pack from PCC with the 2 FSL Kermits.
Count: Vonderful! More items for the collection counts.
Yep, it's going good now. We'll soon have five of the items that'll make up the row for S10, including 10X for the product guide and our display as well.

redBoobergurl

06-25-2005, 11:50 AM

Hey Nyssa, happy belated birthday! I was in a parade last night so I missed your party, but my roomie here sure had fun, she's still sleeping.
*Red snores loudly*
Anyway, I hope you had a great birthday! Did Red give you the basket of goodies we made? There should be chocolate chip cookies, doozer dust cookies (Red's favorite), some bubble bath and one of our favorite movies "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" for you to enjoy!
*Red continues snoring*
Well, hope everyone is having a good weekend around the dorms. When's the big post party? I should be around for that one, I think it's tomorrow. Oh well, I'm going to let my roomie sleep and go do some shopping. See you all later!

The Count

06-25-2005, 12:28 PM

Count: Certainly Dr. Teeth.
*Bats pick up present and fly it downwards into the depths of darkness to Room #8.
Just finished checking the mail Grover left. No packages for my roommate, but at least ve're prepared for the new additions to the collection.

Hope you guys have a melodious afternoon.

Erine81981

06-25-2005, 01:17 PM

Uh Grover did you drop off the present?

Grover: Woops! *runs over to room 8 and knocks on door* Here you go. Sorry about that. Hope you like it. *runs back*

Good. Thats taking care of. Almost time for work. Are you about ready Grover? Herry you too?

Herry: Just trying to find my vest.

Its in my locker at work.

Herry: Oh yea. Forgot.

Grover: Ready as I'll ever be.

Herry: Come eat with us at dinner time. 6:00.

Cookie M: Me good. Me eat Pizza.

Harvey Towers

06-26-2005, 06:00 AM

Johnny Fiamma: Hey Sal, you hung all those streamers yet?

Sal: Yeh Johnny, it’s a shame I couldn’t reach any higher…

Johnny Fiamma: That’s OK Sal, I expect Harvey Towers will sort that out when he comes in. I think he’s busy with the food.

*A pile of sausage rolls suddenly appears in the doorway*

Harvey Towers: Right *puts down the food* I still have some more plates to go and collect – and the cake too. This place looks great; have you got the music sorted out Johnny?

Johnny Fiamma: I’m ready to go – but there are so many musicians in here I’m sure I’ll get plenty of help when they arrive.

Harvey Towers: Good – I just hope that the guys aren’t all partied out. Sal, come and give me a hand with the rest of the stuff will you?

Sal: Sure, Harvey Towers coming through, setting up a party for the rest of the dormers…

Johnny Fiamma: That’s some nice work Sal!

The Count

06-26-2005, 07:10 AM

*Spots Harvey and tries to talk to him a little bit.
Hey Harvey, wanted to ask you something. Do you have any evidence suggesting that Johnny's last name is spelled "Fiamma"? Just asking, cause from the episodes of MT I have, I've heard his name to be pronounced "Fiama" as if it were spelled with one "M" instead of two. But if you know it to be with two "M"'s, I'd be interested in knowing where you found that info to back up the correction for my Muppet Listings.

Well, hope to hear from you soon. Oh and please let us know if we can help prepping for the dorms party or when it'll be. Thanks and have a good day.

The Count

06-26-2005, 06:09 PM

Hey! Thought there'd be a party up in Room #32 today. Has it started yet? Sure hope I'm not late. Especially since it's a party celebrating the dorms themselves. And to think, it'll be one full year since we opened the dorms up again this September.

LMK if there's anything needed for the dorms party.
Have a good night.

Harvey Towers

06-27-2005, 04:10 AM

Harvey Towers: Sal.

Sal: Yes Harvey Towers

Harvey Towers: Could you be a dear and run round the dorms and tell everybody that the party celebrating the 3000 posts in the Dorm Thread for today and tomorrow (Monday and Tuesday) is just starting!

Sal: Sure *Sal leaves* Muppet Dorms party just starting in Room #32

Harvey Towers: Johnny, The Count was asking me about how you spell your name

Johnny Fiamma: That's easy - it's the same way Mamma used to spell it!

Harvey Towers: Yes, well I know that. All I know this that it seems to pop up both with one M and two and I must just have settled on the two-M one.

Johnny Fiamma: That guy sure likes his letters and numbers! Tell to ask for an autograph and we'll find out that way...

Beauregard

06-27-2005, 04:20 AM

Bo: Is' time!Beau did you get the details sorted on that picture?
Beau: I thin-k I got it perfecty.
Bo: Good. *chuckles* Perfect.
Beau: But his face is a little crooked.
Bo: Let me see...no, it's fine. *rolls up the life-like 3-dish full-size photo of Steve Whitmere and heads to Lisa's place. Checks Lisa is out...*
Beau: So, if we tape it to her door like so, then when she gets back after the party she should be tired, and confuss-ied and she'll think it's real?
Bo: Yup. And then they'll all see her introducing herself to a door. *chuckles* *heads off to party*

The Count

06-27-2005, 07:24 AM

Count: That's 1 marwelous monkey! And that's 2, 2 parties here at MC Dorms!
*Thunder and lightning from outside.

Well, let's head on upstairs to the party pal.
*Both wash up, get dressed and head on upstairs to Room #32.
Hey, maybe I'll ask Johnny for his nom de plum on this lil index card here. Maybe then we can settle this.
*Knock on Harvey's door waiting to be ushered inside.

redBoobergurl

06-27-2005, 09:22 AM

Red: Whoopie! Party!!!
Wow, it's going to be quite the celebration! Two days of fun!
Red: I'm going to make sure that the pools are nice and clean and ready in case anyone wants to party down there!
Hey, good idea! I think I might make some dips and stuff like that.
Red: We could also move our karaoke machine to the common room and then people can use that too!
Ok! I'll work on that while you're down cleaning the pools.
Red: Sounds good! Party on! Woo-hoo!

Erine81981

06-27-2005, 11:39 AM

Party? Did I hear someone say party?

Grover: I think you did Kyle. I heard it too.

Herry: If thats what they said then lets get our party clothes on.

Cookie M: Me can't find them. Where are they?

Whats that?

Cookie M: Me cookies and clothes. Me can't seem to find them.

Herry: Keep looking. They might me in the dirty clothes. Cheak there.

Cookie M: Good idea.

Grover: I know that my tie is around here somewhere.

Herry: I found it!

Grover & Me: What?

Hmmm... Seems like Harvey isn't in right now. Ah well, let's go down to the pools and see if Red needs any help there. Besides, we can change into our swim wear and lounge/splash around for a bit.
*Both Eduardo and the Count head on downstairs, and out through the side to the pool area.

All right, I've got zesty ranch dip for veggies or chips, taco cheese dip for taco chips, a sweet cream cheese dip for fruit and also some salsa. And plenty of chips, veggies and fruit to dip in the dips. So, help yourself everyone!
*Red does a flip type dive into the pool*
Red: Whoopie!!!!

The Count

06-27-2005, 12:32 PM

*Makes way towards stairs, out of coming splashes.
Thanks Beth... We brought a bag of pita chips with us, the Count's got them there at the table. They're good and crunchy, and go great with the dips you got here.
Hmmm, wonder if Harvey knows we're down here?

*Getting out of pool. Hey Count?
Count: Yes?
Need to send a bat to give Harv the message we're here at the pools. Be fright back.

*Snags a few pita chips with cream cheese dip, and gets a soda from the cooler before heading out.

Erine81981

06-28-2005, 09:51 AM

Up to Harvey's place guys.

Grover: Right behind you.

Herry: Same here.

Cookie M: Coming along.

The Count

06-28-2005, 11:11 AM

Well... Looks like everybody's gone upstairs. Come on Count, we can continue the party up in Room #32 with the rest of our friends.
Count: Vonderful, Let's get dried off and changed first though.

*Both change clothes, dragging along two bags filled with wet clothes in one and pita chips and sodas and dips in containers in the other bag.

You know...
*As they enter through the side entrance and into the common room dumbwaiter elevator.

It's a good thing Harvey's throwing this party now. The dorms' first anniversary will be in September and I've got an idea for a surprise.
Count: A good surprise?
Yes, something that'll identify us as MC Dormers, and an extra ID for us Senior Members too.
Count: Still missing those hottubs eh?
Yeah, but the dorms are still standing and that's a testament to how well we've made this grand ol' home filled with crazy people and Muppets alike.

Come on, we gotta get to Room #32.
*Saying hi to others in common room.
Gee, looks like we'll have to wait our turn at the dumbwaiter elevator. Wonder if anyone's taking the stairs for once?
Oh well, come on looks like there's enough room for us all.

Vic Romano

06-28-2005, 11:15 AM

Bert! Bert? Bert, you still here ol' buddy? Me an' Ernie went out a while ago and got lost... do we still have our room? Bert? BEERRTT!

The Count

06-28-2005, 11:18 AM

Knock Knock!

Outside door to Room #32... Everybody's waiting for Harvey to open the door and welcome them into the party.

*Eduardo, the Count von Count, Beth, Red, Lisa, the Swedish Chef, Bo, Beauregard, Ryan (theprawncracker), Lew, Mahna Mahna, Uncle Deadly, Penguin, Kyle, Cookie Monster, Grover Monster, and Herry Monster are all dried off and well dressed outside waiting for the party to begin...
Along with whoever else wants to come, it's a party for the entire dormhouse and all who are dormers inside.

The Count

06-28-2005, 11:22 AM

*A little while earlier...
Oh hi Vic, haven't seen you and Ernie around here in a while. You guys still have Room #5 with Bert. He's been downstairs reading quietly for a while now. There's a party for the whole dorms upstairs in Room #32 and the 3rd Floor Common Room. Harvey Towers and his roomies are the hosts. Come on up if you want.

*Later... Outside Room #32.
Oh hey Vic! You made it. And Ernie and Bert too. Great, now this'll be a party. If Diana and the band across the hall hear us... Heh, they'll make it even more of a blowout should they get here.

Vic Romano

06-28-2005, 11:35 AM

Oh thanks so much Count! Sorry we've been MIA, it gets a little intimidating when so much happens so quick and you don't know what's going on! Don't know if you need anything or not, but we brought a banana cream pie!
:p - And I brought my rubber duckie!
:( - And I brought some beet loaf.
:p - Beet loaf?!
Eeew.

The Count

06-28-2005, 11:47 AM

Meatloaf? The food or the music?

And don't worry about it Vic. Sometimes it gets that way for me too.
Just join us at the party and it'll be A-OK.

Erine81981

06-28-2005, 01:05 PM

Meatloaf? The food or the music?

Good one Ed. LOL. *dances around with Beth* You look pretty today and you dance nicely too.

Grover: Your so cute Red. Wanna dance?

Over at the Punch Bowl.....

Cookie M: Mmmmm this good stuff. *slurps*

Herry: Don't drink all of it.

*Oscar busts open the door* What in the world is happening in here? Its nosiy he he he he he he he.....

Vic Romano

06-28-2005, 01:09 PM

Meatloaf? The food or the music?
:( - No no, not meat loaf, beet loaf, it's like meat loaf only made with beats instead.
:p - Blech!

Erine81981

06-28-2005, 01:11 PM

Look at Chef! *points to Chef* You go Chef!

Oscar: Trashy! This is my type of party. *dances around in his trashcan, muffled sounds coming from the TC* Watch out! This grouch is dancing!

The Count

06-28-2005, 01:41 PM

Oh no! Look out! Let's just hope it's not the Trashcan Tango.
And me without a letter T trophy.

Hmmm, beet-loaf you say? Well...
*Takes paper plate and slices off apiece. Let's give it a try.
Not bad, but you might wanna try making it with ground beef next time. BTW: If you like Bert, I got a couple of recipes you might want to jot down. Pink potato salad with radishes, that's what makes it pink. And milkshakes without ice cream. Frozen fruit replaces the ice cram, mom makes them all the time and they're great. Recently saw a show on the Food Channel about the history of milkshakes, and there's a place that makes them like my mom does, but they add a bit of oatmeal. I'll try that one next time and give you the recipe if you want.

Oh wanted to let everyone know now that we're here... The surprise is that on the 1st Anniversary of the dorms, I'll be handing out special dorm-only bathrobes to all the members here. Please contact me or leave notes for me via my E-mail or PM box to know just what details, colors or other decorations you'd like each of your robes to be like. And the second surprise, to Senior Members, will be revealed upon handing of the robes.

See you later guys, gonna take a cold rest in my ICE-cooled room. Be back in a little while if the party's still going strong.

Ah, that's better. Feel refreshed and lookin' good since I dressed up after taking a quick shower.

So... Anyone decided about their dorms robes?
Brought my electro notepad to take notes. But some food would sound good about now.
*Makes beeline towards buffet table to load up.

OK, we'll have some bat burgers... A couple of breadsticks... A corn-on-the-cob... And a serving of potato salad. And a tall glass of soda of course.
Count: Make that two my friend!
Sure thing pal.

OK, we'll be set up over here if anyone wants to come by and talk about their particular robes. If not, then I'll probably bug you guys over the inhouse mailer.
*Both Eduardo and Count sit down to eat.

theprawncracker

06-28-2005, 05:54 PM

Okay guys, I'm gonna go *gulp* ask Lisa to dance!

UD: What are you so nervous about Ryan? Lisa seems to like your fan-fic, and nagging...

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of, if I ask her, she might nag me that I'm dancing wrong!

UD: You'll never know 'til you try.

You're wright UD, okay here I go.(walks to Lisa) Do you wanna dance with me Lisa?

*From the table propped up with seats for four...

Hey Kathy! Glad you could make it. Wanna join us for a game o Scrabble? If not, anyone wanna join?

Oh, and thanks for the rainbow cookies. BTW: Sent you a message Kath. You can ask Prairie and reply later at your or her earliest convenience.

Red: I have to admit, all this partying has actually made me a little tired.
You? No way! Oh well, we've had alot of fun. Hey Ed, sent you a message about the robes. Let me know if you get it.
Red: All right, I need some letters *picks letter tiles* ooh, these are not that great! Oh well, I think I can make some words with these!

This is a great party!
Red: I know! I'm glad to see Bert and Ernie here!
Me too and it's good to see Vic too! Did you have fun dancing with Grover?
Red: Sure did! He's one fun, cute furry monster!
Ahh, look you made him blush.
Red: Yeah, that just makes him cuter! I'm going to get some food.
I'm right behind you. I'm excited about the dorms 1 year anniversary. Hopefully I'll be a senior member by then!
Red: I think you will be. Come on, let's eat!

Grover: Oh I'm so embareasss.....*hides face*

Cookie M: O me hear someone say cookies! Ahhhh not just for me for everyone.

Herry: *puts on "Swinging on a star" song from Hawk Hudson* Good song. Come on Cookie sing along.

Cookie M: Ok.

*the music starts with backup anything muppets*

Herry: Would you like to swing on a star?
Carry moonbeams home in a jar?
And be better off than you are?
Or would you rather be a mule?

Cookie M: A mule is an animal with long, funny ears
He kicks up at anything he hears

Anything Muppets: His back is brawny and his brain is weak
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak

Cookie M: And, by the way, if you hate to go to school
You may grow up to be a mule

Herry: Or would you like to swing on a star?
Carry moonbeams home in a jar?

Anything Muppets: And be better off than you are?

Herry: Or would you rather be a fish?
A fish is an animal who swim in a brook
He can't write his name or read a book

Anything Muppets: To fool the people is his only thought
Though he's slippery, he still gets caught

Herry: But if that sort of life is what you wish
You may grow up to be a fish

Anything Muppets: Delish!

Cookie M: Or would you like to swing on a star?
Carry cookies home in a jar?

Herry: Thats not right Cookie!

Cookie M: And be better off than you are?
Or would you rather be a pig?

Herry: A pig is an animal with dirt on his face
His shoes are a terrible disgrace

Cookie M: He's got no manners when he eats his food
He's fat and lazy and extremely rude

Herry: But if you don't care a feather or a fig
You may grow up to be a pig

Cookie M: And all the monkeys all in a zoo
Herry: Every day you see quite a few

Anything Muppets: So you see, it's all up to you

Herry: You can be better than you are

Cookie M: You could be swingin' on a star

Anything Muppets: You could be swingin' on a star

Herry: You could be swingin' on a star, Cookie?

Cookie M: Yes Herry?

Herry: You could be swingin' on a star

Anything Muppets: You could be swingin' on a star

Cookie M: You could be swingin' on a star my monster

Herry: Don't I know it

Herry, Cookie and Anything Muppets: You could be swingin' on a star

Herry, Cookie and Anything Muppets: You could be swingin' on a star

Lets take it home everyone!

All: YOU....COULD......BE.......SWINGIN'......ON....... A.......STARRRRRR!!!!

Grover: Thats what ya'll were doing all those times.

Herry: Kyle? Grover? Ya'll two should do that song this saturday for the MC Live 8.

Nah, I wouldn't be any good.

Cookie M: Me not thought me was good and Herry told me to stick with it.

Grover: Come on Kyle. We would be a great duo.

Harvey Towers: Hey, really great - the whole cast did really well both nights!

Sal: And you Harvey Towers?

Harvey Towers: Well, even if I say so myself I think I raised to the occasion - certainally the audience got going and seemed to enjoy themselves!

Well, not sure if they know, but... Tomorrow's the big day, cause Rainbow Connection Kermit and Robin will be going up for sale over at the Palisades Direct shop in town. Course, we can get discounts if we show them our club member ID cards, and I plan to.
And I hope to get the package with the FSL Kermits ordered tomorrow, but if not at least it'll probably get here next week.
Count: So that means...
Yes, almost all of Series 10 will be ordered and all we have to do is sit back and wait for the figures to come. After that, it's a matter of photographing them and adding them to the project.

And holding out hope against hope that the figure of Sal Manilla will be made and released within the second half of this year before the contract expires.
Oh well, let's get to sleep pal. Got an eventful day tomorrow.

That's because it's a nice LONG weekend for the 4th of July!
Red: Oh, that's cool. Will there be more parties?
I don't know. Perhaps a barbeque/picnic on the 4th would be nice. For now, I'm just enjoying being off of work for a couple of days.
Red: Sounds good. Maybe we can take in a movie this weekend!
Ooh, that would be great! Well, let's get some breakfast, I'm hungry.

Oh, hi Beau, hi Bo. New foods are: Macaroni, Green beans, mushrooms, sausage, and cooked broccoli. And now my sister has to try peanut butter, which she despises and I live off of. What a crazy world...

...um, has anyone seen my six flags season pass?...

The Count

07-01-2005, 11:15 AM

Hmmm, maybe it's the type of peanut butter your sister despises? Personally, I don't like the creamy type. Much rather perfer the crunchy type with the little nuts in it.

Oh, just finished my own big bowl of cereal and washed up in the bathrooms. Gonna take care of some more washing up later.
Just placed my order for RC Kermit down at the Palisades Direct store in town. Unfortunately, the club membership discounts aren't going to be allowed for this one item. But at least it's ordered. And now all that's left is to let 'em get here.

Count: That's 2, 2 things done from our agenda for today.
Yep, come on pal, let's see if we can get some more of it done by day's end.

Dee: Hiya everybody TGIF!! I finally got my glasses re-refixed(yup took them 3 times to fix it).Now all is well with that,and I can now relax.So,everybody have plans for the holiday? Are we having a July 4th party here in the dorms Count?

That does sound like a cool idea. I love it. I just wouldn't be able to be here. I have to work that day at 4 to 11 but I would be able to be here if ya'll want to shoot off any around 11:30 or something.

Hi guys! I thought I overheard you talking & saying you can't take part in the party because you're not American. Well,it's OK if you're not American. I'm pretty sure Eduardo's taking part,and he's from Puerto Rico. The Swedish Chef is Swedish needless to say. If you ask him or Lisa,I'm sure he's taking part. Plus we have some Canadian roomies,if I'm not wrong. They'll be taking part.
So join the fun OK? :)

Hmmm... Wonder what McFraggle and Sam the Eagle would say. After all, the Fourth of July is Sam's holiday.
Well, if you guys wanna, a party on Monday afternoon and late night for the fireworks would be OK by me.

Gonna check on some other stuff now. Be back in a bit.

Awsome! That would be cool.

Grover: I know that I Grover would enjoy this treat. My family would always shot off fireworks off all the time on fourth of july.

Cookie M: Me always loved the parties me family would go to. Me get lots of cookies, pears, apples and bar-b-q chicken. Mmmmmmm sounds good! *licks lips*

Herry: Since were going out lets get some fireworks.

Grover: Ok. Herry and I will be back.

Ok guys. Be careful.

Cookie M: Fireworks? What them?

Cookie don't tell me you never heard of them.

Cookie M: Nope. What are they?

There little things you light with fire and they shoot off and make cool looking pictures or sparkles in the sky. Its cool. You also have bottle rockets they out shoot off and they also do sparkles and booms.

Cookie M: Oooooo that sounds fun too. Me never knew. Me always busy eatting.

Your one weird monster but I'll always love you. *pats Cookie's chest*

You know Chef, it's really a shame you didn't come with to Grandma's after Six Flags. I've got some funny stories to tell you. But I'll save them for tomorrow, if you don't mind. I'm pretty tired. So sleep good... <climbs into bed>

Yeah...they are pretty aren't they? Let's just hope it doesn't rain then.
Prairie: I hope so. My mom gave me a recipe for All American Apple Pie & I want to make it for the dormies.

Yep, and if Crazy Harry is involved you know it will be crazy!

Hey, let's watch a movie.

Oh hi Red, need some popcorn? Here's a fresh bag of caramel corn.
*Hands over sealed bag of caramel glazed popcorn with little nuts in it.

Was watching the second half of the Beauty and the Geek marathon on WB-11. Now I'm rooting for Rich to stick it to Chuck in the finals this Wednesday. Oh well, lookin' forward to whatever it is Gonzo and Crazy Harry have planned for the fireworks display tommorrow night.
Good night to all and sleep peacefully.

Hello everyone! Thanks for the popcorn last night Count!
Red: It was yummy!
So Red, are you ready for the fireworks tonight?
Red: Yep! I can't wait!
What are you doing in the meantime?
Red: I don't know, figured I'd go down to the pool, see if anyone wants to grill anything later.
What are you going to grill?
Red: Radishes of course!
I should've guessed. Oh well. Hope everyone is having a great 4th of July or a great Monday, whichever applies to them!

The Count

07-04-2005, 02:40 PM

Well, the party's in full swing. The decorations are placed... Red and white and blue streams all over the halls, and firework cylinders hanging from the rafters or placed along the banisters. There are some sparkler decorations along the outline of the dormhouse, and down near the pool.
The barbecue will be lit and the food prepped later this afternoon so we can have a hearty picnic cookout meal. Dessert will be provided by Kathy and Prairie and myself. Fireworks display will begin at 11:00 PM EST so everybody will have a chance to get here and see them.
Hope you guys have a great time at the dorms Independence USA-styled party.

Count: Thank you Prairie. Looks vonderful. Brought dessert ourselves as vell... Vanilla and chocolate ice cream, for whoever wants it alone or pie a la mode.
Yep, sounds good pal. Well, let's take stock of the grill.

OK, we got grilled radishes and peppers, hot dog sausages, pieces of beef for making shish-kabobs with the roasted veggies, and of course some bat burgers and ribs.
Oh, and there's cole slaw and egg salad for whoever wants some also. This looks great.
So... Dig in guys and enjoy the meal.

Yeah, I'll be going out of town in about a week and a half with the kids at church
Red: Oh yeah! That's right! Maybe I'll go down to the Rock while you're gone.
That would be a good idea, although I'm sure you're always welcome to hang out with Kathy and Prairie while I'm not here.
Red: That's true. Maybe I'll ask them if I can do that.
Anyway, it's still a week and a half away, so you have lots of time to enjoy with me until then!

In other news... The mail didn't bring the package I was hexpecting. Oh well, maybe next week. Thing is, I'm on a bit of "yellow alert" concerning the stuff I'm waiting for in the mail. Got burned on a deal for some video tapes of SS a couple of months ago. And what with the package ordered from PCC a month ago still not arriving... Coupled with waiting for the pack with my UD figures, well... I'm just a little on edge about it all.
But at least Tony told me to get back to him in 2 weeks from now if the PCC package hasn't arrived yet. Also gonna hope the figures bought from another forum member also get here soon. Oh, and I won an auction for another rare figure.
So... All that's left to do is just wait and hope everything comes soon.

Red: I can't wait for that!

I know, but it's still a couple of months away.

Red: Yeah...so have you had lunch yet?

Nope, thought I might make a chicken salad since it's SO hot outside.

Red: Hmm, could I add some radishes?

Well, we could make a little extra just for you to put some radishes in.

Red: Cool! Let's go!

*they head to the kitchen*

07-10-2005, 11:57 AM

Mmmm, don't know about that. That's kind of how I keep the dorm registry clear in my mind, by associating the Muppet roomies with the room number and person therein. And of course, you know I go by associating the ones that have had figures made of them in my mental picture of the dorms layout.

But if you want a chilling thought... Just wait till SS S2 and my roomie's there on the shelves with the figures of UD, having a creepy conversation amongst themselves.

*Spots Aaron walking in.
Oh my gosh! Aaron, is it rully you? We've missed you and Rowlf so much here.
There've been some parties while you were gone, but the dorm's in pretty good shape approaching its 1 year anniversary. If you're interested, you can contact me to discuss your dorm robes. If not, then I'll contact you later.
Rully hope you're here to stay, but we always light up whenever you wander in.

Red: Yeah, it really was!
If anyone wants some we left some in the fridge in the kitchen. The one with plain wrap is regular chicken salad, the one with red wrap is the stuff with the radishes in it, which isn't too bad!
Red: Told you so!
Now, how about some dessert?
Red: Ok, what do you want?
Oreos.
Red: Oreos? Really?
Yeah, I just saw a commercial for them and they looked SOOOO good.
Red: Ok, Oreos it is! Milk too?
Of course!

Oh my! You're sending Red out on a cookie run? Well, better get it done now before Kyle comes home with Cookie Monster. She's a brave soul for venturing out to grab the Oreos and return in a madcap dash to the finish.

Hmmm, that sounds rather exciting. Wonder if Lewis Kazagger might be interested in covering such an event. Might send a message with one of my bats to Vibs.

In fact, think I'll do just that.

Chef: I thuooght yuoo vere-a dune-a veet thet oone-a.

Yeah, I thought so too. But my family has been saying that I should get it published. I keep telling them that I can't, because of copyright and trademark stuff. I didn't create the characters. It would be a huge legal mess. But they keep saying I should take it to a publisher, and that the publisher would figure out all the legal stuff. Send it to MHC and all that stuff, and maybe they would give me permission to publish it. It all sounds pretty far-fetched to me, but they just keep saying it... And you know how when you keep hearing something over and over and over and over you start to believe it? Well, I think I'm starting to believe it. But it still seems so unrealistic. And even if it was realistic, I'm absolutely petrified of it. I don't know why, but I am. Still, I feel like I have to at least try. You never know until you try, right? And I feel like if I don't try, then, well... I don't know. I just know I can't get it out of my head, and I don't know what to do.

Course, things have changed somewhat since then.

*To Kim. Rully glad to see you here. If you wanna sign up, I'd advise you to check the Muppet Listings for someone you'd want as a roomie, making sure they haven't been taken yet. Would also advise to wait till September, since there might be some shuffling done then.

Hey Rowlf, where you want the piano, in the common room or in your own room? Thought you had one in your room already. Hmmm, just LMK and we can come to some sort of arrangement.

On the upside... Heard that OMGCNFO indeed received their shipment of Uncle Deadly figures, only half though, and started fulfilling orders. But to make matters... well, they also got their shipment of the Penguin 2-packs of figures. They were working hard to get as much done as possible before leaving for the convention in San Diego this weekend this afternoon.

we have one in our room but one in the common room would be nice for parties

The Count

07-11-2005, 10:33 PM

Oh OK. Well, since there's a grand organ in the third floor common room... Wonder how it is Uncle Deadly hasn't found it yet.
Guess we could have a piano in the second floor common room. But do you think it'd be better to have it out in the lobby instead? I mean, that way, new people either visitors or boarders come and hear the music and get a good down-home sort of feeling.
Oh well, it's your call Rowlf and Aaron... Whatever you prefer. Just leave a note and I'll try to get it taken care of tomorrow.
Good night everybodeeeeeeeeeee!

Hi everyone! Did you guys miss Prairie & I? Sorry we've been gone without notice.
Prairie:If you're mad, we'll understand. But please don't be angry OK?
*Prairie sees Rowlf & her eyes get wide*ROWLF?? My fellow piano playing buddy!*goes over & hugs Rowlf* I've missed you!!! :excited:
Hey Aaron & Kim!Welcome back you two!!

The Count

07-11-2005, 10:46 PM

No. How can we stay mad with such a cute li'l girl like Prairie? Oh, Kathy! Great to have you back at the dorms. Your room's cleaned up and waiting. Hope you still have the key and didn't misplace it like Bo.
Hope you have a good night's sleep in your room. Gonna pop off for a nightcap myself.
*Leaves and comes back in with nightcap. What? Oh this? Well, you didn't think I meant the other kind of nightcap did you?
Hee, we have so much fun here at the dorms.

Good night to all.

Hey there Rowlf. Hows Aaron doing? I miss him everytime I see you. I wished me and the monsters and you could go see a movie.

Grover: Hey Rowlf. Glad to see you here.

Cookie M: Did you bring Cookies any cookies?

Herry: My main dog, Rowlf. Hows the world treating you?

(Ernie101: indeed we do! Talk to The Count, he can give you a register of who's already in what rooms, and you can choose from there. Then just pick an empty room and an unclaimed room mate, (or two or three...), and post a room description. ...but first talk to The Count.)

Hope all the dormies have a good night's sleep. Personally, I think I'll stay up a bit longer and finish this chapter. But until tomorrow... Sweet dreams, etc. Good night!

Morning Red and everyone else!
Red: Morning! Wow, an active day at the dorms yesterday!
Yes, we had lots of visitors! Looks like Ernie101 would like to move in.
Red: That would be awesome!
Sure would! This place is so much fun!
Red: I know! I love it!
So what do you have going on today?
Red: Thought I'd clean the pool, it's been used alot lately with the heatwave and everything.
Good idea! I have to work, but I'll come swim with you when I get back.
Red: Sounds like a plan!

The Count

07-12-2005, 10:43 AM

Hi Ernie101, glad to have you back here at MC. Oh, and before I forget, here's a dorms bulletin.

To All who are interested in joining the Dorms:
The MC Dorms will be celebrating its 1st anniversary this September 2005. In elebration of which, I'll be contacting all the dormers to get their ideas on personalized robes for themselves and their Muppet roommates. As a result, it may be that some who've been here since last year and haven't posted in a long time might decide to move out thus leaving some Muppets without roommates in the resulting shuffle.
So, I'd appreciate if anyone interested in joining the dorms remain a visitor till September when there are any news to add to this bulletin.

Hope this isn't an inconvenience to you all and have a great time at the dorms!

Beauregard

07-12-2005, 10:52 AM

Bo(mc): Why look at that, a news flash
Beau: But without pain.
Bo(mc): What?
Beau: No pain, for the newsman.
Bo(mc): No, not a Muppet News Flash!
Beau: *blinks* Ri-ght...

The Count

07-12-2005, 11:44 AM

Yes, and here's another.
Count: That's 2, 2 MC Dorms news flashes!

Yeah, and this'll make you happy buddy. Well, it'll make me happy.
Got a package in the mail about an hour ago. Grover's leaving the mail earlier these days.
Count: That's, what... 1 package ve vere hexpecting?
Yep, just need the others to start coming also. This one has a few more figures for the Muppets collection from a deal I did on the boards. So fire up the ol' calculator and let's get to updating the collection counts and displays.
Count: I love statistics too!

See you guys later, gotta take stock of my haul.

theprawncracker

07-12-2005, 03:03 PM

Which fig did ya get Ed? Not bein' nosey or anything, just wondered if it was UD.

UD: You rang?

No, I was asking Ed if he got the fig of you in the mail today.

UD: Ahh!

Hey! It's Rowlf at the piano! And look, Beau and Bo talking! And Beth and Red talking! Look at all the people here at the dorms UD!

UD: Truly marvelous to see everyone participating!

Uh huh! Well, I need to go post a new chapter of a certain fan-fiction! See ya!

The Count

07-12-2005, 03:26 PM

Nope. That'd be hoping too much. But I trust my UD figures will get here soon, and maybe with my Penguins too. Will probably end up ordering the Flashback version later to get two normal-painted ghosts. Orderd the SO version before hearing it'd have a clear Ghost and Skull. Would want to get an extra ghost for the photo of the family album entry and for better symmetry regarding my figure display plans.

What I did get, has me just as pleased though. Made a deal with someone on the boards and I got: AK3, Toys R' Us Tux Kermit, Ghost of Sam Arrow, Holiday Rizzo Red Jacket to go with the Green Jacket I already had, and an extra Super Beaker. The extra Super Beaker stands up perfectly, just what I was looking for! Gotsta let him dry out first though, tacky paint in a few small spots you know. And this means the only holiday figure left is the Henson Holiday Kermit... And the Holiday Kermit and Robin from the proposed 2005 calendar that never will be, but I plan to try to get as much done by means of customs with my one-man crew.
Oh well, hope this answers your questions Rye.
Count: That's 99 out of 129 Muppets action figures items in our collection!
Yep, and I'm finally starting the castle collection fright. No more wishy-washy buildups from me, just gonna go with my gut instincts and the batty beauties I can find by name online at a certain website.

*Not revealing sources nor plans just yet, don't wanna build up hype only to let you and myself down again.
**Just disregard the Help with Numbers thread, working on my own thing now, but thanks for all the replies there.

Oh yeah, also gotsta start contacting dormers for the robes. Busy busy busy, that's us down here in Room #1.
Have a good afternoon guys.

Erine81981

07-12-2005, 06:02 PM

I'm home. Oh its going to in september that our 1st anniversary. Thats going to be cool. Ed said we'll be getting our own robes in being here for a year.

Cookie M: Do me get cookies also?

Uh proubley. We'll be celebrating our first year here. Won't that be neat?

Herry: I know I've liked it here. I would never leave you Kyle. I love to many people here and my friends.

Where's Grover?

Cookie M: He's still out delivering the mail. He came by, drop off something for the Ed but he not say when he coming home.

Thats fine. I'll start cooking. *goes off to the kitchen*

The Count

07-12-2005, 06:30 PM

*Makes note to have cookies for MC Dorms anniversary, in addition to robes for dorm members and second surprise for Senior Members.

Well, just compared my Holiday Rizzos... And it turns out I have two of the red-sleeved ones. Will try to negotiate a trade for the green-sleeved one. So, till further news or the other packages arrive, it's 98 of 129 items I have.
But the good thing is the Super Beaker. Man, so great to have him standing perfectly.
And the other project, the Batty Beauties, will be starting to roll off the electronic brain onto the computer files. Will send a complete batch to my artist friend, once the batch's done.

I'll be contacting everyone soon, have a good time guys.

Oh hi Kyle, me thinks Grover's pulling an extra shift at the Wal-Mart deli. He said he might be home later tonight.

Good, it's a friend of mine's birthday and she invited me out dancing and I thought you might like to go too!
Red: Yea! I like to do fun things!
All right, we're going to leave in about an hour. If anyone else wants to join us, the more the merrier!

Another day of lounging almost gone. But at least I finally read all of Lisa's new Fanfic. And Ludo is out being a super-hero. So that means less rock n' roll parties, or should I say rolling rock parties. Ah well, at least I have Ambrosius.
*Looks around*
Ambrosius!
*Walks over to door*
Ambrosius! Where is that dog?
*Walks over to window and sees Ambrosius outside with another dog*
I guess he's found a lady friend to play with. Well, at least there's Lisa.
*Walks next door*
Lisa! Huh, I guess she is writing her fanfic. I guess I'll just find a corner and moep.

07-12-2005, 07:14 PM

Thanks Beth, but I think we'll stay home tonight.
Count: Yes, ve vouldn't vant to intrude on your friend's party. Sometimes that vorks and other times you get that weird feeling that maybe you're just crashing the place.

Oh hey Kyle. Thank Grover for me when you finally do see him. Yeah, got the bulk of the collection divided into the left side of my double shelving unit, with a couple of the righthand shelves taken up. But the ones in the middle are awaiting their SS residents. Then there are the MOC repaints and exclusives in the closet, a few on my computer desk, and the single-boxed and industry exclusives on the shelf above with the big 2-pack boxes.
Good thing I planned ahead and have space for as complete a collection as possible. Hope you guys enjoy your meal, we already ate a couple of meat combo sandwiches.
OK, off to the bat-cave! Er... Our room, if anyone needs us just leave a message.

Red: Morning *yawn*
Did I keep you out too late last night?
Red: No, I just couldn't fall asleep when we got back.
Oh I see. Well, you can go back to bed if you want to.
Red: I'm hungry though so I think I'll have some breakfast.
That sounds like a really good idea actually. What sounds good? How about doozer dust pancakes?
Red: You'd make those for me?
Sure! I actually like them myself.
Red: Ok, let's do that!

The Count

07-13-2005, 01:54 PM

Well, that's another Batty Beauty descript finished off. That makes 2 now, 3 if you count the one for the number 0 though.

*Taps fingers against computer desk. Hmmm, wonder where Grover's at. Hope he hasn't turned himself invisible by mistake. Still waiting for today's mail call to see if another of my packages arrived.

Oh well, think I'll relax with some good music till he gets here.

07-13-2005, 02:00 PM

Boy, it's really quiet around here today.
Red: You said it. I wonder where everyone is?
Well, it's summertime, and I think people are busy.
Red: Yeah, that's understandable. You'll be gone next week right?
Yeah, I'm going to Canada with the kids at church. But I'm sure they'll be someone here for you to hang out with.
Red: Yeah, I haven't talked to Kathy and Prairie yet, but I'm sure they'll hang out with me!
And there's always Kyle and the Monsters and Ed and The Count and all of our other friends here. You could cook with the Swedish Chef and Lisa.
Red: Yep, I certainly won't be bored while you're gone! Oh Beth?
Yeah?
*comes over and gives me a hug*
What was that for?
Red: Congrats on being a senior member and I just want you to know I'm glad you're here.
Thanks! I'm glad I'm here too.

The Count

07-13-2005, 05:18 PM

Hmmm... Seems Grover never came. Guess that means I'll have to check back tomorrow about the package I'm waiting for.

The anniversary plans are starting to roll along. Contacted the first roomies today. If they don't answer by tomorrow, I think I'll move on to the next on the list and see if the replies start coming in.
Oh and congrats to Beth, she'll get a second surprise as well. Have a good time guys and gals.

Hey everyone. Sorry I haven't been around, and I know this isn't the first (or even second time) I've abandoned the dorms. It just seems that when I have limited time this is one of the places I feel I have to give up. With my computer acting up, it's tough to try to read a bunch of posts or make a long reply.

Link: That's no excuse, Doc. I'm shaking off dust over here.

Me: Yeah, I'm sorry about that, old buddy. Hope you're not too mad at me.

Link: As long as I get something to eat I'll be fine.

Me: Well, let's check our inventory. (In our room looking on shelves and in drawers). Hmmm, a bunch of junk food. Sorry, but all we have are old Oatmeal Cream Pies and Swiss Cake Rolls.

Link: All's forgiven (grabs the boxes from my hands and chows down).

Me: I'm gonna wander around and see who's lurking about.

The Count

07-13-2005, 08:37 PM

Hey hey, Ryan my man. What's shakin'? Good timing, the dorms will be celebrating its 1st anniversary in September. You planning on staying with Link as your roomie? If so, LMK. And don't forget to send me a PM or E-mail with the design for your own individualized dorm robe, and the design for a robe for your roommate also. Started contacting Dorm residents about this, but everyone who replies directly helps lessen the list of names I gotta hit up with the mail.

Oh, there might be some vacancies created due to this, but we'll sort that out when the time comes. Which is why I'm doin' this now.
Anyway, glad to have you back. And if you want, feel free to leave a list of groceries you may need for the dorms or your room. The shopping will get done on the weekend and the stuff will go to whoever ordered what. Then again, you might wanna do some food shopping yourself down at the local supermarket.

Hope to see you round the dorms more often Ryan and Link.

Lew: Right here Ryan! I was training my fish!

Training your fish? I thought all you had to do was throw them.

Lew: That was the old act, this is the new one! Observe, Lew Zealand and his amazing dancing fish! Ok guys come on!

*Three fish come out dancing.*

Yeah.... Anyway. I need a favor.

Lew: What's that?

I need you to mail this solid gold calculator to Ed.

Lew: The penguin?

No, the guy! He's been correcting on my fan-fic for me. So I thought I'd send him something nice.

Lew: But a solid gold calculator?

Yep, I had it laying around, and I thought he might find a better use for it than me.

Lew: Okay, whatever.

07-13-2005, 09:02 PM

Me: (Sniffing the air) Is that fish I smell? Hiya Count! Gosh, it's been ages. I am absolutely interested in coming back, I'll keep my roommate and room if that's fine and dandy and I'll let you know about the robe.

Link: Make sure it complements my chiseled features.

Me: Oh, absolutely. Hey Link, anything you need from the store?

Link: Well, we're out of Swiss Cake Rolls and Oatmeal Cream Cookies. Also, we might do well with some hot dogs and buns and various other get-together food items so that we can throw some sort of Back to School bash.

Me: Ugh, don't remind me about that. Hey Count, thanks a bunch for being you. You're a heckuva guy!

The Count

07-13-2005, 09:08 PM

Aw, thanks guys. That might be Lew's dancing fish or fishes you're smelling Ryan. Hee, one Ryan meeting the other Ryan here at the dorms. Then again, it might be some rotten fish from Oscar's can. Haven't heard from him lately, maybe Kyle can get him out and about when he gets back from work.

Oh, and don't worry about it Doc... Just contact me when you have ideas for your robes. And I got Link's waist size already jotted down... 14 wide.
*To Doc: And his head size, 42 thick. Hee, that was a funny episode.

07-13-2005, 09:13 PM

*To Doc: And his head size, 42 thick. Hee, that was a funny episode.

Too true, too true. But everytime I laugh about it with him around, I get a pig knuckle sandwich right in the choppers.

Link: What are you guys talking about?

Me: Oh, nothing. Stocks and weather and news and whatnot.

Link: Oh, boring stuff. I'm going back up to admire that new hat I bought yesterday.

Wow, the dorms really filled up over the year. Looks like I've missed out on getting to know a lot of people. :cry: Maybe this coming year I'll be a better poster.

Good question. And I'm not even really sure I like this last chapter. It's short. See, most chapters are about ten to twelve pages when I write them in my notebook. This one is only seven and a half.

Chef: Su vhet ere-a yuoo gueeng tu du?

Well, I think I'll leave that chapter how it is. I like how it ends. But after that... <sigh>. After that, I have absolutely no control over the story.

Chef: Seence-a vhee hefe-a yuoo ifer hed cuntrul oofer zee stury?

I never have, but I've been able to fake it pretty well. Anyways, I'll just have to let the characters write it for me. In the meantime, let's go for a walk. That usually helps.

Hey Link, I feel sticky. Must be the humidity.

Link: Nope. I think it's the maple syrup you managed to dribble all over yourself this morning.

Me: Oh right, I forgot about that. That's the last time I try to make my own waffles.

Link: Or maybe you should just try holding the syrup over your plate rather than your head.

Me: Gee Link, forgive me for saying so, but for such a thick-headed lurch you sure are thinking sharply right now.

Link: I have to be. The latest space shuttle launch was cancelled and I have to be ready for a call-up.

Yeah, we should do something for her.
Red: I'll get the markers!
*we make a card for Lisa with a bunch of dogs on the outside and on the inside it says "Remember, all dogs go to heaven. Hope you're feeling better, your friends Beth and Red"*
Ok, now we should bring it to the Chef and have him give it to her later.

That's a nice idea!

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. I just finished my Slim Wilson, Miss Piggy and Steppin' Out Sam customs and am getting ready to to some running around.

Don't worry bout it Doc. Though I read HP4, it was a recording for my local handicapped person's library. Would rully prefer to get the official recording with Jim Dale's voices. Gotten used to his wonderful work, can spot his Hermoine instantly now. And I especially like his Dobby, makes it sound like an older person instead of the badly-done childish voice from the second movie.

May I ask a question, Count? Forgive me if this is offensive or if it's been asked before, but how exactly, since you are admittidly nearly blind, do you read the posts here at Muppet Central? If it's a sensitive matter, I apologize and will never bring it up again.

Hey, wait a sec... You got three additional customs done? Oooh, you'll have to show us Doc. And I'd love to get... er, see how my one-man crew's doing. At least the Super Link figure's done, just need the accessories he's working on. After that, Skeeter's in line and maybe the Piano too. We'll see. Just thinking that you and Quinn and the others do this so well and so fast. But at least I have a guy, that's the important thing.
OK, enough rambling... Good night everyone.

You're having Muppet Babies done?? That's awesome! My customs now include the following figures (for better or for worse, as far as quality is concerned):

Baskerville the Hound
Mahna Mahna
Slim Wilson (aka Jerry of Lobbuck Lou's Jug Band)
Foo Foo
Irving Bizarre
Rubber Band Man (actually discarded him today, he was too awful)
Patrol Bear Link
Steppin' Out Beauregard
Steppin' Out Pops
Steppin' Out Sam Eagle
Miss Piggy (long hair, dress shortened and dress and shoes painted engine red)
Penguin
S3 Rowlf as Dr. Bob

As soon as I learn about such dag-nabbed contraptions known as cameras and computers I'll try to get some pictures posted. Have a great night!

The Count

07-17-2005, 06:14 AM

To answer a few of your questions Doc...

1 Nope, not Muppet Babies what I'll work on with my one-man crew. It'll be a grown-up version of Skeeter using an S3 Scooter as the base.
2 Though there might be an occasional custom added to the mix, I'll pretty much be working with my one-man crew on building up the collection by working on the "would've been" 2005 lineups Ken posted a while back with a bit of shifting around on my part to fit everything and everyone.
3 As for reading the posts here on MC... Don't worry bout it, everyone who asks makes it one more person who knows, and that's what's truly important. Got a program called JAWS For Windows, a screen-reader program, which reads what it is I type on the computer screen. Also reads the text on the computer screen, and helps me when I'm working on the machine. So thanks to JAWS, I'm able to join all of you guys here on the forums and communicate my thoughts and read posts and everything else.
Hope that answers your questions Doc.

Also, you used an S3 Tux Rowlf for Doctor Bob? How'd it turn out? Thinking that S3 Tux Rowlf would inevitably be the best source figure for a Dr. Bob figure but wasn't sure.
Let us know as soon as you can how you made these great figures. And I might have something to share very soon as well.

Docnzhoss

07-17-2005, 09:44 AM

Hey Count, regarding your question about Dr. Bob:

As many people know by now, Rowlf is my favorite Muppet. I wanted to customize a Rowlf figure to honor my favorite sketch: Veterinarian's Hospital. I happened to have two S3 Rowlfs, so I went ahead with the project. However, due to Rowlf's soaring value and scarcity, I did not feel comfortable hacking away and painting up such a beautiful figure. So I went out and bought some fabric. I designed, fitted, cut and stitched my very own set of scrubs, so Rowlf essentially became a dress-up doll. It's all removable, so no mess and no fuss. As I said, it was my first attempt at a custom figure and I'm not much of a seamster, so Dr. Bob is a little sloppy-looking. But he does look good in front of an operating table with a Swedish Kitchen saw accessory in his hand. ;)

As for JAWS, that sounds like wonderful technology. I'm really glad it's around to enable a good friend to hang around and give us enjoyable conversation and useful tips and information here at MC.

The Count

07-17-2005, 10:58 AM

Thanks for the lo' down Doc. The ol' computer's been acting up this morning, hopefully my brother will come in later this afternoon and give it a check up from the neck up.

Anyway... The Super Link custom my one-man crew made has some fabrics as well. The sleeves, pants, cape and scarf are all made out of cloth he used. The good thing is that the articulation's intact and the cloth doesn't get damaged with the movements. Will probably show it off over at the PT booard since we can't attach pictures here.
As for Skeeter, it's a grown-up version what I'm planning. Gonna give my guy the extra S3 Scooter to work with it. Gonna give him the extra First Mate Piggy so he can study it when making the head of red hair for Skeeter, and my Janice repaint so he can study the female Muppet body. The clothes will be given a repaint and some of the accessories will be painted as well. After that, who knows what'll be next on the docket. Reason I'm going ahead with this one next is so my display shelves can be perfectly uniform... At least, the Main Cast shelf.
That one would have Rowlf, Sam, Statler and his chair, two Ghosts, Waldorf and his chair, Phil van Neuter, and S9 Swedish Chef in the back row.
Kermit, Piggy, Fozzie, Scooter, Modern Gonzo, Uncle Deadly, Skeeter, Bunsen, Beaker, and Johnny would make up the middle row. Not sure if it'd be Modern Gonzo and UD or UD and then Modern Gonzo. Have to wait for the figures to arrive to see whether UD would block Waldorf from sight behind him.
And the front row would have Robin (from the RC Kermit set), the Penguins, Pepe, Rizzo, Camilla, Yorick, the veggies from the RC Kermit set, the Steel Rabbit, Rizzo's pizza box and the Dancing Slinkies, and then the last spot reserved for Sal should he be made.
Course, there could be a bit of shifting involved with that layout, but that's the basic idea.

Have plans for other customs and how to store/display them in the double shelving unit I have.
Hope your collection keeps growing, and we'll talk later Doc.

Since he lives with his girlfriend in a separate apartment, I'm waiting for his next visit back home to see if we can work on getting them named and saved onto the master CD in a new folder. Course, my customizer might be coming by tomorrow to hand in the accessories for the figure, and then we'll have to photograph those as well. But it'll be worth it since the figure would be completed with the custom accessories. If you're talking about the custom Steppin' Out Beauregard figure, Docnzhoss is the one who has that figure. You'd have to talk to him about getting pictures of that one.
Oh, and BTW... Please don't forget to contact me via PM or E-mail about your dorm robes.

I've seen those guitar pics earlier on, a most excellent idea! That one little detail and it propelled Clifford up on the cool chart. I can't wait to see your Super Link, Count. I'm thinking your customizer does professional quality stuff, unlike me, who settles for the first thing that resembles a character. Ha ha, I only wish I was kidding. :smirk:

Taken up scripture reading, eh Beau? Or just scripture memorizing? Either way, there's a lot of money to be made in evangelism if you ever wanted to go that route...OUCH! Sorry about that, I think I just felt two sharp, pointy objects try to jut out from my forehead...OUCH! Geez, they feel like, gulp , horns! I'm sorry I said that! The temptations of fortune and glory are not going to lead others down the path of righteousness! I apologize for misspeaking, Big Guy! I...ooh, the horns are gone.

Chef: Elreeght, Leesa, noo tell me-a ebuoot yuoor veekend! Pleese-a.

Alright. Let's go to the common room where whoever wants to hear can hear.

Chef: ok

<we go to floor 1 common room and plop on a couch>

Ok, so Friday we went to Chicago. First we went to the Museum of Science and Industry. My mom and sisters wanted to see that "Body Worlds" exhibit, but it sounded kind of gross, so while they did that my dad and I sort of wandered around and found ourselves at the Fairy Castle. It was SO COOL. It's so... just... I don't know, there's something just magical about it, and I loved it so much! Although my dad looked kind of bored. So anyway, we all met up again and we saw the re-done U-505 exhibit.

Chef: Isn't thet zee oone-a yuoo'fe-a beee telkeeng ebuoot fur a cuoople-a veeks noo? Hoo ves thet?

Yeah, it is. It was SO AWESOME, Chef! I mean you walk in and the first thing you see is the bow like right at the level it would be at if it was at the surface in water, and it just floors you! And you walk all the way around it, and it... it's so awesome! And about halfway down the ramp- because there's a ramp that leads you down and around the sub- they stopped us to take a picture. And we just sort of popped into position so that we could all see, and then when we got the picture we realized we were so color-coordinated and balanced and it was actually a good picture of us, so we bought it. And anyway we took the tour through it, and it was SO incredible! They made it really easy to imagine that you're actually on it during the voyage and when it was captured. They play all the sounds you would hear during the typical day, and what you would hear when they fired a torpedo, and when you got farther up they play what you would have heard while it was being captured, and it was so cool! And you know what the best part was?

Chef: Vhet?

The German! There's still all the labels of what everything is, all written in German, and I was running around like a chicken with it's head cut off trying to read and translate all of it! And I understood so much of it! It was awesome! Like, in the exhibit, outside of the actual submarine, there was this can of soup or something on display, and I could understand some of the cooking directions printed on it! It was so cool!

Chef: <sarcastic> I cun tell yuoo deedn't injuy it et ell.

<rolls eyes> So we wandered the museum some more, had lunch and all, and then we went to Navy Pier. We went on the Ferris Wheel, and then we just sort of meandered to the end and hung out there for a bit. Then we went back where there was a band playing, hung out there, munched on stuff, you know. And then we went to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner. And they must have been having a rough night or something, because from the time we walked in to the time we got our food, it was almost two hours. It was good food, but it wasn't worth a two hour wait. Anyway, we got home around eleven, and we were dead tired. But of course our dog, Cinnamon, had been alone all day and she wanted to play. So I'm in bed trying to sleep and she's barking at my sister! But she stopped after a while and I got a pretty good nights sleep. Especially considering that the neighbors were apparently having a party next door, and I was too tired to even hear them. Although I think they were being exceptionally quiet. Anyway, all that is just one day, and I've got two more to talk about, so let's take a bit of a break, shall we?

Chef: Suoonds guud tu me-a.

There might be some Muppets in search of new roomies, if it is that their previous roommates decide to leave the dorms. You're second on the waiting list... That is, if you wish to join us as a member here at the dorms?

Then again, if you have a Muppet character in mind as your roommate, then LMK and I can set you up in one of the vacant rooms. LMK via PM or E-mail if you need help here at the dorms.

Oh hey Kathy, welcome back! Glad you're safe and sound, that's always good. Thanks Ed, but I don't think I need anything to drink at the moment.

Chef: Zeen tell us mure-a!

Alright, alright. So Saturday we were originally going to go for our bike ride, but my big sister somehow got scheduled to work on Sunday and she wasn't sure if she would be able to get someone to cover her shift, so we rearranged our schedule a bit so she could come to the Dells with us. So we went to Wisconsin Dells on Saturday. We left the house about a quarter to eleven, stopped for lunch at a Subway... er, the restaurant, not the... um... form of transportation... anyway, I was thinking that since it was a three and a half hour drive there, I could take my notebook with and write another chapter or so of my fanfic, but we ended up spending a lot of the time taking this "know your body" quiz or something like that, it was in my sister's book. <shrug> It was kind of interesting, but it got kind of old. Anyway, we got to the Dells, and right away bought tickets to the Tommy Bartlett show and the ducks.

Chef: Doocks? Yuoo buooght teeckets tu see-a doocks? Leeke-a, zee burds?

No, not to see ducks as in birds. To ride in ducks as in amphibious army vehicles built for World War II. It's one of those things that you just sort of have to do if you go to Wisconsin Dells. Some sort of unwritten rule. Anyway, we went on the ducks first thing. The driver was really nice, she told us all sorts of information and Fozzie Bear quality jokes. It was fun! And then we walked around the shopping area of ... I guess you'd call it "down town Wisconsin Dells". When we finished with all that, we still had about an hour before we figured we needed to eat dinner to get to the Tommy Bartlett show in time. So we went miniature golfing! We only did ten holes, but it was fun. I did the worst, but you know what? I don't care. I enjoyed it. So then for dinner we went to a place called... what was it... Damon's, I think? It was a nice sit down family restaurant, really good food, great service, not too expensive. So we ate and headed for the Tommy Bartlett show. We got there, got a good parking place, and realized there was a path to get to a Harley-Davidson accessory shop that we had wanted to go to. See there's this unwritten rule that says that when you own a Harley-Davidson, which my dad does now, every time you go to a place that sells Harley stuff, you have to buy a t-shirt or something that specifies which place it is. Well, since we still had some time before the show started and it had already been determined where our seats were, we went to the Harley place.

Chef: Su, yuoor treep ves besed lergely oon unvreettee rooles?

Um... yeah, I guess so. But anyway, Dad got a shirt that says "Harley-Davidson Wisconsin Dells," and the guy who was working there... well, you know how conversations can go sometimes, and my mom's shirt business came up, and he offered to display her business cards. So she's going to send him some, which is pretty cool. Then we went to the Tommy Bartlett show, which was SO COOL! I mean, they ski in pyramids, and backwards, and without skis... it's so awesome to watch! And then there was a fifteen minute intermission, and the second half had a juggler. He was pretty darn funny, and he had his seven-year old son come on stage and ride a unicycle, and then his four-year old son came on and danced a little and did a little unicycle riding. Then there was a sixteen-foot metal globe that a couple guys rode motorcycles in. That was awesome. And there were a three people who- well, as the announcer put it, they juggled each other with their feet. It was very cool to watch. And then there was a laser show, which was okay except that by that time I kind of had a headache, so I didn't really appreciate the first half of it. But then they put up this sheet, and used the lasers to do sort of a music video type thing while playing... um... shoot, I don't know what the song's called! You know the one, it's... "And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free, and I won't forget the men who died and gave that right to me..." That one. It gave me goosebumps, it was so amazing! Anyway, it was a three and a half hour drive home, so I wrote a little with my personal light, then when it started bother my sister- she was driving- I wrote some more using my cell phone for light. Anyway, we got home, and the neighbors were having another one of their "Let's get drunk at sing at the top of our lungs till sometime after four in the morning" parties, and when they're like that I can hear them in my room like they're two feet away. So I took my pillows, my blanket, and a big sheet and went to the couch downstairs, where I usually can't hear them. But they were being REALLY loud, so I could still hear them. So I took everything and went to the basement, where there's this big foam pad, and I slept on that. Of course as soon as I got all settled, the dehumidifier came on for a little bit, and that's pretty loud, too. But I ended up getting a good night's sleep, which <yawn> is exactly what I could use about now. So how about if I tell you about yesterday, tomorrow?

Chef: Elreeght. Um de hur de hur de hur. Sleep's impurtunt, tuu.

That it is. Goodnight, everybody!

Chef: Guudneeght!

Sleep's important? Who are you and what have you done with the real Lisa?!? The real Lisa would be up at 4 in the morning typing and pecking away at the next chapter of her story or some comment in the forums or nagging fanfic authors to...
*Sees her snoozing away in the common room couch.

Oh... Never mind. *Pulls blanket up over Lisa and tiptoes to kitchen area, serves breakfast and takes it to Room #1.
Hope she gets some well-needed rest also.

Well... It's been a little busy here at the dorms. Taken some orders for robes, got the pieces from my customizer friend, gave him the pieces/figures for the next project...

Yep, a good day, especially what with the thunder off in the distance from the storm raining down right now. At last... 1 entry from the "Would've Been" 2005 calendar of Muppet figures is finished... Super Link.
Once I get the pics organized, I'll submit them to Quinn and everyone can see them there.

BTW: All those of you who still haven't put in your order for your robes, I'd advise you to send 'em in. Who knows if we'll have time once September rolls around to get everything coordinated for the celebrations.
Just hoping to hear from some peoples is all.
Good night everyone.

Chef: Leesa! Zeere-a yuoo ere-a! Vhere-a hefe-a yuoo beee ell dey?

Didn't I leave a note?

Chef: Nu!

Oh, I meant to leave a note. I'm sorry Chef. I was helping around my synagogue's new building, you know, getting rid of weeds and stuff.

Chef: Oh, elreeght. Um de hur de hur de hur. Vell, ere-a yuoo gueeng tu tell us ebuoot vhet yuoo und yuoor femeely deed oon Soondey?

Well, if you insist. We borrowed a bicycle from a friend of ours, since there's five of us and we only own four, and we rode on the Des Plaines River Trail. Went from our house to a little past Independence Grove, turned around, ate lunch at Independance Grove, and came home. It was a total of 26.4 miles. Then all five of us managed to shower, change, and get out the door in less than forty minutes, and we headed down to Grandma's house for dinner. See a lot of my family that lives in Colorado is in town, and they're staying with Grandma, so we figured we'd drop in. We brought Cinnamon, too, she likes going there. Except that it was so weird for Roxy to not be there. She and Cinnamon were kind of friends, so for a little while Cinnamon was definately looking for her. I really missed her, too. But after dinner, a whole bunch of us went to the park near Grandma's house, and that was fun. Except for when my cousin's son disapearred. Apparently he thought we were going back, so he started walking, and then we couldn't find him and we were getting worried. But I guess he realized that none of us were walking back, and he came back to the park. He got grounded, but we were just glad to find him again, you know? And then we had dessert, of course, because you can't go to Grandma's and not have dessert. Trust me, it's next to impossible. We got home around eleven or so, and there were no disruptions to my sleep at all, and we all lived happily ever after. Oh wait, that's the wrong story, I don't know if we lived happily ever after yet.

Chef: ...reeght. Um de hur de hur de hur... vell, I'm gled yuoo hed foon. Bork bork bork!

Me too. It was nice for us to all be together for a change. Well, I should go figure out this last chapter. It's being kind of a pain to write.

Chef: Vhy? Vhet heppens?

I'm not telling!

Chef: Pleese-a?

No. If I tell you, you won't have any reason to read it.

Chef: Feene-a

So you know, I'm helping out at the synagogue again tomorrow. Oh, and don't let me forget to do laundry! I'm all out of clean clothes.

Chef: Elreeght. Um de hur de hur de hur. Hefe-a foon vreeting zee lest chepter. Hurty flurty schnipp schnipp!

I'll certainly try.

That Announcer

(TA, Marvin Suggs and Dr. Julius T. Strangepork come bashing down the hallway, simultaneously waking everyone on the floor up and causing the motion-detector alarm to go off. Marvin grabs a mallet and swings at the control panel, causing it to both shut off and make the lights brighter by a marked amount. Strangepork opens the door to the dorm, and they all walk in.)

TA: Marvin, did it really take this long to arrange a Muppaphone funeral?

MS: A-yes, it does! Zere are many things which I must-a do in order to have a Muppaphone's funeral be a proper one!

TA: Like...

MS: Well, I must-a make sure they are really flat!

TA: Yes, I know that, but it doesn't ordinarily take that long to find a good vice grip!

MS: Ordinarily, no, but I must-a find one suited for use with my Muppaphones!

TA: Well, whatever, but you delayed the move a long while.

JS: Yeah, he did! Anyway, I say we all move in.

TA: Good plan, Julius. Hey Marv, when is Phil coming along?

MS: Vell, I zent him along to pick up my Muppaphones from their kennel!

TA: Yeah, another thing. About that Acapulco getaway...

MS: Never mind that.

(Suddenly, a very loud screech followed by a "BANG" is heard from outside the building, causing everyone that had just fallen asleep to wake up again.)

JS: Well, that should be Phil right about now!

MS: How can you tell?

TA: Must be that car of his! I wonder why he ever bought that lemon? Must be a real fool to do something like that! Hah hah hah...

(A calvacade of "OW"s is heard coming from the hall, followed by a loud "CLACK".)

PN: Quiet, you stupid things! Now don't make me bang on your cage again.

MS: My babies have arrived! (runs into hallway) Hello, Muppaphones! I'm back, and you'd better know it!

MP: (quietly, to themselves) Oh no, it's him...

MS: Now come on, you silly creatures. Let's-a go into our new home!

MP: (upon seeing the dorm) Wow...

MS: Now you will be sleeping in this cage for a while!

MP: ... oh, no!

(Phil walks into the room)

PN: Hey, everyone! I'm here!

TA: Hey, Phil, great to have you! Why don't you take that bed over there next to Julius, you guys can share science tales before you go to bed!

JS: Yeah Phil, come on over! There's a few tech equipment catalogues over there on my nightstand. Bought 'em off Jamie Hyneman, you know, the "Mythbusters" guy?

PN: Hey, that's wonderful! And I like your space lamp.

TA: Anyway fellas, get settled in. I'm gonna go set up the computer and call my ma, I'm sure she'd love to hear. (He leaves into the next room.)

JS, PN: (in unison) The computer? Wait for me! (They follow TA.)

MS: (waits until they're gone, then rubs his hands) Did you-a hear that, Muppaphones? We're-a all alone!

MP: Oh no...

Well UD, sorry but I'm gonna be gone for a few days!

UD: What? How many?

Two or more...

UD: Why?

Because...You wouldn't understand.

UD: Probably not...Don't worry my friend, I'll take care of things here!

(I'm really leaving because I have to move into the apartment my family will be staying in while our new house is being built, so it'll take me a few days to set up my computer!

Peace and love to all ya'll!

*Coming in... That's OK Ryan. Maybe That Announcer can help you get your new computer installed at your place. If UD wants to come downstairs and visit/stay with us, that'd be OK. Or the roomies could go with to your new place to make sure it's Muppety enough.

As for the dorm's anniversary... Been contacting people, waiting for replies from That Announcer, Harvey Towers, Frogster, sugarbritchez, and Fozzie Bear.
Hoping they'll answer soon. Oh, and there are currently 2 vacancies, bit guys from TMS.
Not sure if I should post who it is just yet. Was thinking that as a privilege to those already here, registered dormers should have first crack at deciding if they want to switch current roomies for either of these two. Then again, maybe it would be fairer to let everyone know and let new visitors interested in joining have a shot at these two guys also.

We'll see what happens, if people start posting like mad for me to reveal the two current vacancies. We'll see...
*Walks off to continue conversations over phone with Bear and others.

BEAR

07-20-2005, 12:26 AM

(Bryan Bear-that's me-walking into the lobby for the first time with two friends in tow each carrying some luggage.)

Bry: Well, here we are guys.

Big Bird: aaah.
Rosita: Nice.

Bry: We need to talk to someone and find out how to get to our room.

Rosita: Hey, what's that shiny thing on the desk?
Big Bird: It looks like it came off of a Dinger somewhere.
Bry: Well, it is a bell, but I don't think it came from a Dinger's head. Maybe if I ring it someone will come out to help us.

(R and BB looking at each other)
Rosita: Oh.
Big Bird: Good idea.

(hits the desk bell) *Ding Ding*

BEAR

07-20-2005, 02:07 AM

Bry: Hmm...that's funny. There's no one here.

Rosita: Well, maybe everyone is sleeping.
Big Bird: (clutching his teddy bear) Yeah, it is past Radar's bedtime. *Yawns*
Bry: Sounds like it's past yours too, Big Bird.

Rosita: Yeeah. Haha.
Bry: Well, in my confirmation letter, I think it said we were in room 60. So I guess we could go to our room, but without a key we can't get inside.

BEAR

07-20-2005, 02:18 AM

Rosita: (realizing something is wrong) Ummm...Bryan? I am looking at this little map overview and I don't see a room 60 on it.

Big Bird: I don't even think I can count that high!

Harvey Towers

07-20-2005, 04:18 AM

*Harvey Towers, Johnny Fiamma and Sal come wondering through the hallway*

Harvey Towers: Oh, more new people…

Johnny Fiamma: What is that Sal?

Sal: I don't know Johnny , I think it's some kind of big bird, I'll call it Huge, Feathered... Thing?

Harvey Towers: Hello Bry, Rosita and Big Bird! I see your looking for the Count aswell, I just popped down to see if he was around, but I'm sure you won't have to wait too long.

Johnny Fiamma: What are you here to see the Count about?

Harvey Towers: He was asking me if I wanted to change my roommates

*Sal - rather paranoid due to Big Bird’s overwhelming stature*

Sal: Hey get away from Johnny Fiamma yah Huge, Feathered ... Thing

Johnny Fiamma: What did you say?

Harvey Towers - *under his breath* I can't say I wasn't tempted

Johnny Fiamma: What's that?

Harvey Towers: Well I'm just here to tell him I'll stick with you two and I'll let him know about your robes as soon as you two have decided what you want.

Johnny Fiamma: Robes?

Harvey Towers: I'll tell you later, come on!

Sal: Johnny Fiamma, coming through, out of the way for Johnny Fiamma. Hey, hey, I'm watching you, you Huge, Feathered...thing you...
