Hey Vic. Thanks, but I'll probably go down later and pick up something for the library. Maybe if I can tear myself away from all the fanfics...

Hey Bryan... That's OK, we'll just move that nest into your room. What's avaialble...
*Looks through registry.
Well... We just got an opening in Room #2... Then there are Rooms #15, 16, 17, 24, 28 or 29 here on the second floor. There's Room #34, 39, 40, 42, 43 or 44 up on the third floor. And of course, Rooms #45-51, 53, 54, and 57 up on the top floor are vacant also. Would think you'd prefer a room here on the second floor. Could have an exterior entrance/exit added that way. Just LMK which you want and I'll show you to your room.

Hmm..So many options. What do you guys think? I think the second floor is good. Downstairs is the basement right? Yeah, I think the Bird would rather be above ground. He likes the sunshine.

Rosita: Oooh, I like the number 29.
Big Bird: yeah, yeah, me too. Hahaha.
Well...#29 it is then i guess, Ed.

Hexcellent choice sir. *Bats come back and rest on the desk. Oh, she got it then? Good, I'll feed you after I tend to our new guests.

*Takes key from hook near marble 29. This way everyone.
*Pushes past two sets of double doors. The first set of doors separates the lobby from the stairwell, it's past that door on our right. The second set of doors open up onto the hallway here on the second floor.

That big open room there is the common room. Each floor has a common room, with different carpeting. Oscar's trashcan is there in the left back corner, he's been quiet lately. Too quiet if you ask me. Oh, and that fireplace in the back right corner has the dumbwaiter elevator we use to get from floor to floor.

Now then, a turn to our left... And it should be... Yes, last door down on our right.
*Hands key to Bryan. OK, this floor's bathrooms are across from your room. Kyle and the monsters are in this part of the dorms as well, maybe they'll show up and welcome you guys later.
Just remember to post a descript of whyour room looks like. The bats will be with your luggage and nest in a little while, gotta feed them first.

Enjoy your stay here guys. Oh, and when you get the chance, don't forget to contact me with ideas for designs for a dorms robe for each member of your party.
Have a great time and welcome to MC Dorms!

Hey, it's not too late for an old friend to move back into the dorms, is it?

Gillis: I certainly hope not. Not after we had to drag your luggage all the way across campus.

Tosh: What do you mean "we", Maestro? You sat on top of her rolling suitcase the whole time while the rest of us carried everything else.

Beast: *snuffling and nodding in agreement*

Okay, that's enough guys. We're going to be rooming together (hopefully), so you had better start learning to get along now.

KIM!!! Course not, you're always welcome. And I see you brought some more Fraggles to the dorms. Always welcome.

So, which room do you want? Just check the post above, Room #29's taken by Bryan and his roommates.

Hmmm, rully not sure if I should post which Muppets are newly available for roommate status. It's great seeing new and old friends coming in. Well, if some certain people we know insist on the names being revealed...
Not rully a mystery, all you have to do is search through the thread for old registry lists, me thinks the latest one was around post 3031 (if you have 30 posts per page then check round page 101) and check who was in Rooms #2, 11, and 24.

Skeeter Muppet

07-20-2005, 07:35 PM

Okay, guys. Where would you prefer our room to be at? Second floor or first floor?

Tosh: Well, where's Boober at?

Gillis: *chuckling* According to the dorm listing, he's on the third floor along with Wembley, Gobo and Lou. Red and Mokey are on the first floor.

Well, I'd prefer to live on the second floor. I lived on the third floor for a semester down at Monmouth, and I hated climbing all those stairs.

Tosh: *shrugs* Second floor's fine with me.

Gillis: And with me. I'd prefer to remain closer to the ground. Plus we'd be the only fraggles on that floor as well.

Beast: *nods*

Okay then. Room #15 okay with you guys? *her roommates nod* All right.

Ed, we'll take #15.

-Kim

The Count

07-20-2005, 07:46 PM

OK. Let me get the keys. *Places keys for Rooms #2, 9, and 11 back on their hooks and takes the key from hook near marble 15.
OK, let's go. Just placing some keys from vacated rooms back up on their hooks.

*Passes through double doors. The stairs are on your right, past the second set of doors and we're in the hallway.

Common room in front of you, Oscar's trashcan and fireplace with dumbwaiter elevator inside. Brings back memories huh Kim? A turn to our right... And first door on our left.
*Hands key to Kim. Rully glad you're back and... Oh, wait, gave you the wrong key.
That's for the new people moving into Room #24. Here's the one for 15.
*Hands correct key. You know, I'm contacting everyone for the anniversary. There might be some Fraggles in need of a roommate. Then again, I have to check with all the others before saying for sure.

Remember to post a descript of what the room looks like, and ideas for a robe for each member in your party.
Welcome back to a long-time friend of the dorms!

The Count

07-20-2005, 07:51 PM

Well, fed the bats and had dinner ourselves as well. Come on Count, I need your help with the new arrivals.

Count: Fright!
*Count heads off to help Bryan with his luggage, as well as Big Bird's and Rosita's.
Vhat? Oh don't vorry... I'll get the luggage, hope you can help by bringing Big B's nest vith you.

*Somewhere else in that hallway...
*Bats drop off luggage for Kim in front of Room #15.

*And yet...
Be with you and that nest Count. OK Lisa, here's the key to the room.
*Hands key to TogetherAgain, helping with her luggage and that of the Chef's. Hope you're happy here with Rowlf.

*Finishes tending to Lisa and helps out with moving the nest to Room #29.
There, everything squared away. Again, a busy day here in the dorms.

Might post an update soon.

07-20-2005, 09:42 PM

Ah, a new room, an additional roomie, a whole fresh start. Hey Rowlf, how are ya?

Rowlf: Good enough. Let's get settled.

Chef: Yes, ve-a need tu set up my noo keetchee. I cun't veeet tu stert cuukeeng egeeen! I hefe-a a greet noo receepe-a fur ruested cebbege-a tu try. Bork bork bork!

Rowlf: Did you get that, Lisa?

New kitchen, start cooking again, new recipe, roasted chicken, bork bork bork. That's the important parts, anyway.

Rowlf: Sounds good.

We better get to work. Chef, I want you to wait until we bullet-proof the walls before you get to cooking, alright?

Chef: Suoonds guud tu me-a.

<Chef and I roll up our sleeves and the three of us start getting settled>

Rowlf: Careful not to hurt the piano!

Wouldn't dream of hurting the piano!

Skeeter Muppet

*unlocks the door and enters the room, Gillis, Tosh and her Beast right behind her*

Ooh, this is nice. We should feel right at home here, guys.

Gillis: I like it already.

Tosh: Me too.

Beast: *growls and nods*

So, what say we get unpacked and get this place organized?

*After a couple hours, the group is finished unpacking and organizing.*

Okay, so I know you're all dying to know what the room looks like, so here's a description. The walls are painted off-white. As you enter the room, there is a twin-sized bunkbed almost immediately to your right near the wall. The bottom bunk is made up with tan and white sheets, white cases on the pillows and a green and black crocheted afgahan folded at the foot, which is near the door. The bottom bunk belongs to Gillis. An oak nightstand is at the head of his bunk for his glasses and bedside lamp, as well as a pen and small notebook so that he can write down song ideas in the middle of the night.

The top bunk, which belongs to Tosh, has a pink canopy/curtain to give her a little privacy. Her sheets and pillowcases are plum and green. The head of her bunk has a built-in ledge for Tosh to use as a nightstand.

On the opposite wall is a loft bed, which is like a bunkbed except that it just has the top bed part. This is my bed The bed has lavender sheets, a purple blanket, lavender pillowcases on the pillows and a green, pink, purple and yellow plaid comforter. The foot of my bed is against the wall, and a tall dresser at the head of my bed doubles as my nightstand. I have a purple desk lamp on the top of it, a bottle of water, my pillboxes with my medicines and my digital alarm clock. In the top two drawers I keep some more personal articles of clothing, while the fourth has my shorts and pants. The third drawer is where I keep extra things like a flashlight, extension cords, batteries and quarters for laundry.

Below my bed we have a beige "comfy" chair, as well as a couple of beanbag chairs to drag out onto the floor and sit on. We also keep our microfridge unit (a combination refridgerator/microwave) under my bed as well.

The closet is at the right-hand end of the room as you come in, and it has no doors. This actually helps because it creates more room in the dorm room. We've divided the closet in half - one half is mine, where I hang my shirts and keep my shoes, as well as store the clothes hamper. My laundry stuff and my bath stuff are on my half of the closet shelf. In the middle of the closet is another dresser similar to the one I have next to my bed; Gillis and Tosh share this dresser - he gets the top drawers, she gets the bottom. Tosh's extra dresses and Gillis' spare coats hang in their half of the closet, and Beast sleeps on the floor (at night his rope is tied to a hook in the wall, so we don't have to worry about him getting loose and wandering around).

Up high on the wall opposite the closet is our bookshelf; it's about 3/4 the length of the wall (it's got to allow room for the door when it opens). We have some books on the half of the shelf that's above the desk, as well as our combination portable phone and answering machine with Caller ID. On the other side of the shelf is our DVD and video tape collection.

Below the bookshelf is the desk, which is just as long as the shelf. Under the half of the shelf with the books and telephone is our computer; it has a CD-ROM drive, a separate CD/DVD-burner drive and a flat-screen monitor. In the center of the desk is a printer/copier/scanner. The computer is almost always on, and it's always tuned to MC Radio.

On the other side of the printer is our "entertainment center". That consists of a TV/VCR, and a separate 5-disc changer DVD player.

So, that's our room. Hope you enjoyed the tour.

Aw... That was great! Rully glad you decided to come back Kim. Oh, and don't forget to send me ideas for the robes for each member in your party. Wouldn't want you to miss out on the anniversary plans.

Will post an update tomorrow, gonna catch some sleep soon.

<wipes sweat> oy. That was an awful lot of work.

Rowlf: Yeah, but worth it. Look how nice the room is.

Yeah, it's not too bad. Still, you'd think moving in would be less of a hassle the second time around.

Rowlf: That's just wishful thinking.

Yeah, I guess it is. A lot going on in the dorms all of a sudden, too, with us changing rooms, and new dormies, and a couple people leaving. Well, let's examine our handy-work, shall we? It's a new set up, after all.

Rowlf: Sounds good.

Alright, so to the left of the door is that nice big red fluffy couch I've grown so fond of. Re-apholstered to a darker shade of red, though. Far left wall has a triple bunk bed, with all three of our beds just sort of stacked on top of each other with just enough room for each of us to sit up. Top bunk is me, with a navy blue comforter, matching pillow and sheets, and a teddy bear.

Rowlf: Mm-hm, and I've got the middle bunk with white sheets, a bone-shaped pillow, and an old gray blanket. I think it used to be white, but it's pretty old.

<shrug> happens. Looks like Chef is already sleeping in the bottom bunk, with his same old sheets and blanket with the same old vegetable pattern. Then next to the beds we have that big bookcase.

Rowlf: For all the books we've got on that, you'd think we actually read all of them.

Yeah. Some dvds on top by my alarm clock, too. Then next to that we've got my desk. It looks so weird when it's clean.

Rowlf: Don't worry, it won't last. In the corner there's my baby grand piano. Doesn't look like such a baby in that corner though.

No, it doesn't. It looks huge. Right by your piano is the window- that's a nice thing about being on ground level, we can see outside. Didn't have that in the basement. Nice little potted flower in the window. Do you think it'll live very long? I'm not much of a green thumb.

Rowlf: You're not green at all, actually. I'll help you remember to water it if you'd like.

That could help. Anyway, that other corner is Chef's new kitchen.

Rowlf: And to the right of the door we've got our dressers.

Which we actually use, unlike the book case.

Rowlf: Speak for yourself. I don't usually wear clothes.

Yeah. Well, I'm pretty tired, I vote we go to sleep.

Rowlf: That makes two votes "yay" and one abstain, so I guess we're going to bed.

Alright. Good night.

Rowlf: Goodnight.

Chef: Guudneeght.

I thought you were already sleeping, Chef. Were we keeping you awake?

Chef: zzzzzz

Rowlf: I think that's a "no".

(TA and Dr. Phil Van Neuter are awakened by loud "OW"s from the opposite side of the room.)

TA: Jeez Louise, why can't I get my sleep! Marvin, why are you practicing...

MS: I'm-a right heeeere, TA! (turns on nightstand lamp)

TA: Well, if you're in bed, then... (switches on banker's lamp on desk, sees Muppaphones grimacing in their sleep)

MS: Oh, my Muppaphones are having nightmares! (runs out of bed, knocking mattress and boxspring off frame)

PN: I'll fix it... (heads to Marvin's bed)

MS: (to Muppaphones) Don't be doing that and waking everyone up! (grabs mallets and begins to hit Muppaphones over head)

MP: (in succession) OW! OW! OW! OW!

MS: Ahaha, it's "Surfin' Safari"! (keeps hitting them) I may have a new song!

PN: Marvin, would you just give it up and get back to bed!

MS: Oh, alright. (To Muppaphones) I'll be back...

MP: (to Phil after Marvin goes back to sleep) THANK YOU!

PN: Ssh, not so loud! You'll wake him up again!

MP: Oh, alright.

PN: (grabbing two Nerds Ropes from the snack drawer in his nightstand) Here's a little food. I don't think he fed you last night!

MP: (in unison) No, he didn't! (begin to eat)

PN: Now finish that up and go back to sleep. (gets back in bed, switches off light and goes back to sleep)

TA: I'm with you, Phil. (heads to sleep)

Thanks for the link-up Kev. Gonna contact Kyle and Vibs who seem to be online now.

Oh, and I forgot to add in the Future Happenings category...
Got a couple of VHS tapes in the mail yesterday. They're of classic SS episodes, good stuff like the Hawaii vacation and the trip to my native PR.
If you guys want, we can arrange a viewing tomorrow and watch what I got. Have a good time everyone, be back in a while.

Hi Ry. Contacted Ernie101 since he's been on the waiting list along with Bryan when he first contacted me. We'll wait and see. If he says no, then sure. Rully need the people I contacted to reply, the inbox's starting to get filled up.

Oh, and That Announcer's taken care of, your robes along with everyone else's are ready. At least those who contacted me. Still here Ryan? Not sure, but you might've noticed a tall yellow feathered friend moving into the room at the end of your hall.
Check back with you guys later.

*comes back into her room after using the shower, dressed in a bathrobe (minds out of the gutter, people; I'm wearing my shorts underneath it, along with other articles of clothing)* C'mon, guys, up and at 'em. It's 11 after 12, and only my brother can get away with sleeping in this long.

Gillis: *yawning* Sorry, but we were up awfully late last night getting moved in and everything.

Pick, pick, pick. Is Tosh up yet?

Tosh: *poking her head out from behind her curtain* Yeah, I'm up. We got anything decent for breakfast?

Lemme see here... *rifles through the refrigerator* We've got some Doozer sticks left over from our trip up here, half a bottle of my pop, a couple bottles of water, a box of baking soda (that's to keep the inside of the fridge fresh) and a tennis ball. *blinks* A tennis ball? How'd that get in here? *tosses the tennis ball out over her shoulder*

Beast: *sees the ball and tries to chase after it, but gets jerked back at the end of his rope*

Sorry, Beast. Here ya go. *throws the tennis ball to him* Well, looks like we'll have to go grocery shopping sometime today guys.

Tosh: Pass me a couple Doozer sticks, would ya?

Gillis: Me too, please.

*hands them each a couple Doozer sticks* Breakfast - or lunch, rather - is served. *steps into the closet and puts on a shirt, then comes back out*

So we'll do a little grocery shopping, come back and then tour the dorm and see if we can't look up the rest of the Fraggles. And remember, we have to send the designs for our robes to Ed sometime soon.

Hee, just wait till Beth comes back and Red's here again. She'll be glad to have others who cotton to her Doozerstick/dust cuisine.

Ah well... Have a good day guys. As for the other Fraggles... Christy and Gobo are on vacation, along with Sprocket. Haven't heard anything from the rest yet, only contacted Frogster and Wembley though.
Maybe they'll show up soon, though I'm not sure.

LAUNDRY DAY! Time to do laundry!

Rowlf: Is that why you're still in your pajamas?

Indeed it is. I have no clean clothes to wear, they all need to be washed, and that's what I'm doing today! Chef, got anything that needs cleaning?

Chef: I certeeenly du. Here-a. <hands me a huge stack of filthy aprons>

Oh, goodness! Yes you do! That'll have to be a seperate load. What about you, Rowlf, anything?

Rowlf: Nope.

Alrighty then, I'll be doing laundry. <starts heading for the door carrying several laundry baskets, and stops> Unless, of course, either of you wants to give me a hand?

Rowlf: Not really.

Chef: Nu.

<sigh> somehow I didn't think so. Alright, don't have too much fun without me. <goes to laundry room.>

Rowlf: Hey Chef?

Chef: Yeeh?

Rowlf: Just because she told us not to.

<Rowlf starts playing a very lively tune on the piano while Chef adds ingredients to a bowl in time with the music, getting more on the floor and counter than actually in the bowl.>

07-21-2005, 06:03 PM

(TA is getting changed into a Grateful Dead T-shirt and a pair of shorts. Marvin and Julius have paired up for the day to see "War of the Worlds". Phil is in the bath.)

TA: Boy, looks like it'll be a good day today. Better explore the dorms, check out everything that's here, maybe take a few pictures.

PN: Oh! Oh, I hear they have a pool!

TA: Seems so. Maybe I'll go for a swim tomorrow.

PN: Yeah! Maybe I'll go with you, and I can convince Julius to come along!

TA: Well, what about Marvin?

PN: Yeah, he'd better come along too. Those Muppaphones are sweet little things! (He steps out of the bathroom fully changed into his normal lab gear, except he is also wearing a Simpsons baseball cap.)

TA: Phil, why are you wearing my old Simpsons cap?

PN: I ran out of hair gel!

TA: Fine, fine. Gotta look your best. Now come along, we'll look around and maybe pick up a little lunch somewhere. I think there's a diner not too far from here.

PN: Sounds good, I've been craving a ham steak for days!

TA: Hey, pick up Bubba and the Birdman, we'll get 'em a hamburger!

PN: Sure, why not? You know, they got a new mansion over across town.

TA: Wow! They livin' alone?

PN: Nope. Bill Gates is with them.

TA: Oh good. I've been thinking about getting a new PC lately. Think they could smuggle one out?

PN: I should say so, and they'll get you the new Windows beta to boot! (grabs Tootsie Roll out of snack drawer) Here, want some?

TA: Sure! (grabs Tootsie Roll and eats it whilst putting on cap) Come on, let's get out of here.

PN: Right behind you! (They leave.)

*voices can be heard before their owners enter the dormitory*

Honestly, this is the last time I'm taking you two grocery shopping with me, I swear.

Beast: *muttering and growling*

Sorry, Beast; you THREE then.

Gillis: What do you expect? We're FRAGGLES! We've never been in a Silly Creature's Gorg Garden before!

For the last time, Gillis, it's a "grocery store" or a "supermarket", not a Gorg garden. And even so, that didn't give you permission to wander around the place getting lost and messing up the aisles.

Tosh: Okay, so we got a little excited. Was it necessary to make us ride in that big metal basket for the rest of the trip?

Yes, it was. Next time, if you need something from the store just write it on the sticky pad on the refrigerator door, and I'll be sure to pick it up when I go to the store...alone.

Gillis: Are you done lecturing?

Yes.

Gills: Good. Let's get these groceries put away, then we can explore this place. I believe I heard from somewhere that there was a pool here...

Tosh: Oh good! It'll be nice to have a good swim!

All right. *fishes the key out of her pocket and unlocks the door, allowing the Fraggles and Beast to enter the room before her*

Rosita: Gosh, Big Bird. Your nest is so big and heavy.
Big Bird: Big? Hmm..Gee, I never really noticed.
Bry: Okay, you two, lets see if we can get some of this stuff put away and set up the room.

Big Bird: This really seems like a nice place. Too bad Snuffy isn't here. He would have liked it.
Bry: (coming over to rub Big Bird's feathery chest) I know, I'm really sorry he couldn't come, Big Bird, but there just wasn't much room.

Big Bird: I know. He is a big guy. Hehe. Oh well. Maybe he could come and visit.
Rosita: Yeah!

Hey guys... Trying to get to everything with my computer slowing down a bit. Maybe my brother can check it when he comes round next time.

Oh well... Yes, there's a pool here at the dorms... Connected to the mainhouse by a walkway out back. Me thinks Red has the master key that opens the gated door to the pools. But her roommate will hopefully be back by next week.
As for out on the town eats... There's the fave diner known to us as Everybody Eats, with food for every living creature possible. There's also the local pizzeria, which specializes in normal and weird toppings like radishes and stuff like that.
Got some news which'll be posted soon.

<carrying large load of clean clothes into room 24> Yay, I can finally get dressed! I love clean clothes. Chef, here are your- what are you guys doing?

Rowlf: Having too much fun without you.

<sigh>. Anyways, I'm hungry. Chef, I don't suppose you've got anything ready to eat, do you?

Chef: Nu.

Well in that case, let's go out and get some food, because nobody wants to see me hungry.

Rowlf: Why's that?

Let's just say I take after my mother. Let's go, I'm hungry!

PN: Where are those little buggers?

TA: Well, I think they're going out to dinner after the show. Some pizza place, I guess.

PN: Well, good enough. That coconut cream pie disappointed me, I think I'll have a few Junior Mints. (pops open candy drawer, takes a box of Junior Mints)

TA: Got any Now'n'Laters in there?

PN: Yeah, I think so! (takes a look and tosses TA a pack of Now'n'Laters)

TA: Thanks. (begins to eat)

PN: Well, while I'm waiting, I think I'll go catch a few episodes of Seinfeld.

TA: May as well come with you. (both sit down in front of the television)

PN: Oh, forgot to tell you this. I called Bubba's place, and he can get you that PC!

TA: Hey, that's great!

PN: Also, he can make dinner with us tomorrow. So, Everybody Eats again?

TA: Yeah. I hear they have a great blood-pudding, I'm sure he'd like that.

PN: Yup. (watching TV) Hey, this episode is called "The Junior Mint", and I'm eating Junior Mints! Well... (looks into box) correction, WAS eating Junior Mints.

TA: You finished 'em that fast?

PN: Yeah. I could go for a Coke right now. (heads to kitchenette)

Bry: Okay, looks like we are done, finally.

Our room is at the very end of the hall on the Right Wing (floor 2). Our room is on the right. As you walk in the door you will notice the whole room is painted a beautiful cream color, with deep green carpet and dark brown wooden borders between the carpet and wall.
After entering, looking to the right is my quarter of the room. the desk is on the doorside wall with a rolly swivel chair. My desk has a laptop computer on it and a red office desk lamp and cellphone in charger.The opposite side of the quarter has a red velvet curtain which sort of separates my area from the rest of the room (though it is only on that one side). Parallel with the curtain is my bed right next to it against the side wall and a small nightstand on the other side of the bed which has a small lamp and electronic alarm clock. On that wall is a closet which I keep all my clothes (hanging and in little drawers) and other nik naks in. There are pictures on the wall of family and friends.
On the other side of the red curtain is a bookshelf against the wall. Against that same wall in the corner is Rosita's bed. She has white sheets and light yellow blanket and spread. The bedspread has little red maracas all over it. At the foot of her bed is a toy box. At the side of her bed (opposite the wall) is a nightstand with a lamp. The side of her bed has little drawers which is where she keeps whatever clothes she has and her guitar in its case. The nightstand is hallowed out and she keeps books in it. The bed has a white canopy netting covering with warm colored paper streamers hanging down from the cieling. There is a Mexican flag and an American Flag intercrossing on the wall above the head of the bed.
On the opposite side of the room from Rosita is Big Bird's nest. His corner is set up very similar to his nest area on Sesame Street only in a smaller space. The nest is right in the corner. On the front sides of the nest sits two wooden crates (just like on the show). On is against the wall below the window (the wall shared by Bird and Rosita has a nice big window) and the other between the nest and a colored wall separating that side of the nest from the rest of the room. Basically he has three walls around him. This wall is like the colored doors that we know. Surrounding the nest is various whatnots and nik naks, including a tall lamp with a chain switch, a cuckoo clock on the wall, an indoor tree plant, a large unicycle wheel, and the Mr. Hooper picture is hanging on the wall behind him. The wall also has odd street signs and such. Each crate actually opens up like a chest, where Bird keeps all his other things (neckties, books, balls, blankets, rubber ducks, goggles, swim flippers, rollerskates, toy drum, transistor radio, binoculars, blocks, crayons...you get the picture). Radar is in the nest. On the other side of the colored wall is a back door which leads out the other side of the building.
In the last corner, which is to the left as you come in from the hall is the kitchen bar area. It could be like a junior Hoopers Store. on the immediate left looking in is an oven/stove and counter. the fridge is on the adjacent wall. Closing the corner off from the rest of the room is an L shaped bar with 3 stools on the outside on the side closest to Bird;s nest and just before the side door. This counter also has a sink. The counter has drawers and cabinets storing all of our food (including bird seed). There is an old black phone on the counter by the wall. There is a brass hat/coat rack by the side door and counter. There is also a small window on the wall where the side door is but it is on the inside of the bar. The whole floor of this section is a red brick pattern tile scheme. The middle of the room is pretty open and empty because we dunno what to do with it yet. We may leave the space there for now. It is basically our common area where we play and do whatever.
A flat plasma screen tv comes down from the ceiling via remote control. There are also small speakers in each corner of the room for surround sound. Music can be controlled from my comp. thru the speakers. Scattered here and there are pics of our family and friends.

Well I think that is enough descriptions for now.

Bry: Time for bed guys. It's late.

Big Bird: Goodnight, Bryan and Rosita. Goodnight, Radar.
Rosita: Buenos noches.
Bry: Goodnight, you two. Sweet dreams.

Taking a cue from BEAR, here's a description of our room.

Upon opening the door, the first thing that hits you is a strong scent of grilled meat. Marvin found a good-sized electric grill for the dorm, and so we cook steaks or something on it every night. The kitchen is straight ahead. An old pub bar serves as seating. The aforementioned grill, a refrigerator and a wall oven lay directly ahead of the bar.

The room is painted a deep shade of blue with a red trim. The beds are all lined up against a wall opposite the kitchenette, but a little further down in the room. There is a goodly amount of space between each of them. They all have an individual nightstand. Julius T. Strangepork's bed is the furthest away from the door, and it has a silver bedspread with black pillows. His nightstand features a spaceship lamp, a clock radio and a few books. Above his bed is a poster of Neil Armstrong walking on the moon, and a large Pigs in Space logo. Dr. Phil's bed is next to his, and it is decked out in deep red tones. His nightstand has a stolen hotel lamp, a tiny analog clock and a drawer filled up with candy. TA's bed is next to his, with a Mexican theme: an orange and brown bedspread with matching pillowcases. His nightstand has a metal lamp, a few books and he too has a drawer full of food. Over his bed is a "Raiders of the Lost Ark" movie theater poster. Last is Marvin's bed, with a blue-and-gold bedpsread. Marvin has a metallic lamp similar to TA's, and some sheet music to be practiced on the Muppaphones.

Directly opposite Julius Strangepork's bed is the TV area, and the rest of the dormies envy him for having such a good view of the football game at night. A leather couch and loveseat are augmented by a black-and-gold coffee table that cost $80 split four ways and was bought off of TA's father. The television is a large DLP widescreen set, with a Yamaha 5.1 digital surround system that could bust your ears if you're watching the right movie. A small air-conditioning unit sits in the window next to the television, as Marvin doesn't trust central A/C. On the other side of the TV is the gang's DVD collection, with over 135 of TA's discs and a few from Julius and Marvin as well.

To the left of the kitchenette is what could be called a den. Marvin's Muppaphones sit on their stand (and if Marvin is away for the night, on the beds TA and Phil designed) to the right of the door. A computer sits behind a false wall erected by Julius one afternoon as he had nothing else to do. There is no door in the wall, just a black curtain. Behind the wall is a 2001 PC running Windows XP Professional edition. Word has it that Bubba the Rat and his compadres have moved into Bill Gates's manor and a new computer will probably be coming in soon. The computer room is half covered in mirrors and half covered in movie theater posters stolen by Phil.

Also in the den is a 400-slot CD holder that is just about full. TA provided 200 CDs, and Julius provided most of the others. This is connected to the surround system in the TV area by a very long cable that Radio Shack didn't carry, so Marvin bought it at Price Club. The commode sits to the right of the computer room, and was painted a shade of yellow separate from the rest of the dorm.

Soon enough Phil will be moving his lemon of a car into the dorm to attempt a fix-it job. Luckily the dorm has tile floors, so oil spills are easier to clean up than with carpet. And it'll mask the omnipresent smell of grilled meat. :)

I'm back!

Rowlf: <stops playing piano> How were voice lessons?

<shrug> They were pretty good until my voice started hurting, but I guess that didn't effect my singing too much because my instructor said I'm really improving.

Rowlf: Does that mean you'll stop going outside where no one can hear you to practice?

No.

Rowlf: Alright.

Well, I think Colorado family and I are going to go mini-golfing. Wanna come?

Rowlf: Naw, I think I'll watch the Sesame Street airing.

Oh, I forgot about that! Let me know how it is, alright?

Rowlf: You need me to tell you that it's going to be great?

I guess not. Chef, what are you up to today?

Chef: Vetcheeng Seseme-a Street. Um de hur de hur de hur.

Alright, well you two have fun. Wish I could watch too, but I did promise...

Okay. Well, I'll see you later!

Wha??? A car in your room? Would think there'd be space for Phil to park his next to Fozzie's studebaker and Kyle's car out in the dormhouse's parking lot. It's that big shaded area behind the dormhouse, to the left of the poolhouse. LMK if you guys have any other questions...
The SS viewing will be beginning soon... Just have to use the bathroom first and wash up.

What can I tell you, he wants total control of his car. He's afraid that someone will ding his doors, and knowing that he could perform a Quadralobal Brain Probe on me, I obliged to let his car in for a short while. :)

Oh, thought you might want to know... There'll be a viewing of some classic SS episodes I got from BG on VHS tape later today. Hope to see you guys there and have a good day at the dorms.

Bry: I would love to be there, but I am afraid I have some things to do later. I know, work! Bleh. But I will send Big Bird and Rosita down. They'll love it. You can play with them if you want. I'll be gone all day. Just make sure you get them to bed safe and sound.

Big Bird: On TV? We're on tv?

Well, I'm back from work guys...you are awake, aren't you?

Gillis: Yes, we're awake, thanks to someone setting her alarm clock to go off at seven...

Hey, I had to get up with enough time to take my pill, get a chance at the shower and eat breakfast before I went to work. At least here we don't have to worry about going to class.

Tosh: She has a point, Gillis.

*steps into the closet and changes back into her street clothes* Okay, so what's on the agenda for the day guys? Interested in seeing those classic Sesame Street eps that Ed and the Count are airing in their room?

Tosh: What's Sesame Street?

Gillis: Not particularly, no.

I see. Any other ideas or suggestions?

Tosh: We still haven't explored the pool yet.

That sounds like a good idea. With the heat wave and everything, we're probably going to get very familiar with that spot. So why don't we have lunch, and then later we can go check out the pool?

Gillis: Sounds good!

Tosh: Yay!

Beast: *happy growls*

*In Kermit voice: Oh good. Come on, let's head on out to the common room and set up there.
You get the cookies ready, I'll go upstairs and get our guests.

*Goes up through dumbwaiter elevator and gets BB, Rosita, Rowlf and the Chef.

OK, here we are. By the by, ran into Kim and gave her a copy of the key to the poolhouse. She was rully interested in going there with her roomies instead. Hope she sends me her robe ideas soon, I'm sure she will.

*Note: Don't worry if you miss out on today's airing guys, we won't watch everything today. We can schedule for tomorrow or Sunday or Monday afternoon... Or you can ask to borrow the tapes after I'm done with them this weekend if you're not able to attend any of this weekend's airings.

Oh no! I'll have to go see her later and see how he's doing.

And now we go poolside...

*sitting on a chair near the pool, dressed in a one-piece dark blue bathing suit* Now this is nice. We didn't even have a pool on campus when I was in college, let alone at the dorm.

Gillis: *wearing gray swimming trunks and his usual black jacket* What about that new athletic center that was built while you were down there? From what I've seen on-line, it had a pool.

That was only during my senior year-and-a-half, and the grand opening didn't happen until after I had left. Besides, I like this pool better. Reminds me more of a hotel pool than the one at my high school or at the college.

Tosh: *in the pool, wearing a one-piece suit the same color as her regular clothes* The water's the right temperature, too! Although I don't know why it has this funny smell to it...

That's the chlorine, Tosh. It helps keep the pool water clean; trust me, Boober does have a point to all his talk about germs. Now, we'd better get to thinking about what we want our dorm robes to look like.

SS version of Mahna Mahna.
Casey Kasem's poem of the Boy and the Bat.
The M who came to Dinner.
Kermit's B Lecture.
And one of Puerto Rico's great actors... Raul Julia as Rafael.
Thought this was the episode with Paul and Michael cooking in their apartment... Guess I was wrong, maybe it was another Unpaved episode. Oh well, that can wait for another day/tape when I continue with my full-powered research.
OK guys, it's getting kind of late. We'll have the Hawaii vacation and the trip to Puerto Rico tomorrow.
And on Sunday, it'll be your summer at Camp Echo Rock, Big Bird. I know you'll be happy to see those episodes again.

We can play some Sesame Monopoly till Bryan comes and picks you up.
Hey Beth, hope you had a good trip. Kim moved back in, Red's roommate back at the original dorms. She brought some other Fraggles with her, more to enjoy her Doozerstick cooking I guess. Oh, and I got a postcard from Gobo and Christy today. They're still on vacation while Christy sells her house.

Rowlf: I didn't know you could play.

Wha? Oh hi guys, didn't hear you come in. Uh... Rowlf, I hope you don't mind me using your piano....

Rowlf: Not at all.

Thanks. I was just in sort of a crummy mood for no good reason, and some how playing piano tends to help with that.

Rowlf: So mini golfing didn't go too well, huh?

No it went fine- except of course for Noah being a grouch, Ben getting stung by a wasp, Eden throwing Frank's ball into the water... yeah, other than that, it was pretty fun.

Chef: Vhy du I nut qooeete-a beleeefe-a thet?

Because I haven't told you yet that I got a hole in one.

Ha ha! Not cramped at all, it's not like there's anything else taking up space.

Rowlf: You just insulted yourself.

I do that sometimes. Any way, did you sleep good last night?

Rowlf: Like a dog.

Um... good? Chef, how about you? Did you sleep good?

Chef: Nut reelly, ectooelly. Bork bork bork! I kept hefeeng neeghtmeres thet I ves beeeng ietee eleefe-a by my fuud. Bork bork bork!

Sorry to hear that. But aren't you used to getting eaten alive by you food?

Chef: Nut es mooch es I shuoold be-a.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Rowlf: You understood that?

You forget, I've been rooming with him for a while now. I've grown accustomed to his voice.

Rowlf: Have you grown accustomed to his face?

Well...

Chef: Hey!

I'm kidding, I'm just kidding. Relax. I heard Ed and Count are showing more Sesame Street today?

Chef: Thet's vhet zeey seeed. Bork bork bork!

Let's watch that, then, since I missed yesterday. I might have to leave early, though.

Rowlf: Why's that?

I'm going to a birthday party for my uncle. But shhh, don't tell my uncle! It's a surprise party!

Rowlf: Oh, sounds like fun. Don't worry, I won't tell a soul.

Morning Red.
Red: Wow, you slept a LONG time!
I was tired after my big trip! It felt good to sleep in a bed and not on the floor!
Red: I can imagine that!
So, what do you have planned for today?
Red: I don't know, the weather's kind of crummy today
Yeah, I know what you mean.
Red: Thought I might spend some time in the kitchen whipping up some yummy treats for all my Fraggle friends who just moved in.
That would be nice of you!
Red: Yeah, I thought it might be. I'll be in the kitchen if you need me.
Sounds good.

Gillis: Ha, ha, very funny.

Weather's kind of crummy today, guys - although I have to admit, we could use the rain rather badly. What do you want to do?

Tosh: *sighing* Well, the pool's obviously out. Maybe we could just hang around here all day.

We could. Today also seems like a good day to head down to Ed and the Count's room and watch some Sesame Street episodes, don't you think? Although I might be going to visit my grandmother this afternoon. If that happens, you guys can go down to Ed's room yourselves.

Gillis: Fine with me.

Tosh: Yeah, that'll be good.

JS: Scrambled eggs and maybe a little French bread for me, I'm not that hungry.

TA: Sausages for me as well, Phil. You want some help cooking?

TA: Fair enough. Hey Phil, you wanna do something today?

PN: Actually, yeah! Oh Marvin, is that theater still playing "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?"

MS: Yes-a, Phil!

PN: Hey TA, you wanna see that, and then maybe get a pizza to bring back here?

TA: Sounds good to me, Phil. Hey Julius, you wanna meet up at the bookstore?

JS: Oh yeah, that'd be great. I think I'll go get dressed for that golf game. (He heads out of bed, grabs his clothes from one of the four armoires lined up next to the computer room and heads inside there to change.)

PN: Oh, fair enough. If he's going golfing, when does that movie start?

TA: Hmmm, let me check the... whoops, can't go in there, Julius's changing. I'll check the paper instead. (Heads out to front door, opens it, grabs paper and begins to read movie listings.) Well, there's a 2:40.

TA: Alright then. Hey Marvin, there's a quarter pizza in the fridge and a leftover steak for lunch, alright?

MS: Sounds goooood!

PN: Hey fellas, breakfast is up! Julius, you ready?

PN: Alright, here you go. (He sets the food on the bar set.)

Hmmm, seems about one-third of what's left of the dorms registry have contacted me regarding staying on as residents and their robes. Sure hope the remaining people I contact me soon.

Waiting for replies from Beauregard, Vibs, McFraggle, Harvey Towers, and Frogster. Hope you guys LMK if you'll still be here for those who haven't contacted me yet, and the robes for those who already said they'd be staying.

Prairie:Oh Kath...what great news!Your dad's always been a fighter,huh?
Yep...he sure has! :) My brothers and sister in law are down. My 2 brothers are being a pain in the rear,so I figured before I clobber one or the other,I might as well come back to the dorms.
*Prairie nods in understanding*
I'll still be visiting my dad though. I just have a bit of a cold & cough & I don't want to give it to him. So I'm taking a break the rest of today & possibly tomorrow .

So? SO?!? That's the day I get home from camp! I have almost a week of camp, which doesn't allow much sleep, then I get to pretend to sleep during an eight hour bus ride home that starts around one in the morning, drive another half hour from where the bus stops, and then I have less than half an hour left before I need to be in school ready to learn! OY!

Rowlf: That's pretty bad. But hey, isn't-

Yeah, know what you mean Lisa. The next term starts up for me in about a couple of weeks also. Shortened summer, due to the month-long strike which didn't resolve anything in the end. How's that for you? The university shuts down due to a student strike for an entire month, and then when it opens again cause the strike's over... The strike never even accomplished the goals for which the strike was held shutting down the university for an entire month in the first place.
Oh well... At least we have a bit of vacation time left.

By the way, started the Camp Echo Rock episodes today, will continue them tonight. Everyone's welcome to watch them down in the Floor 1 Common Room.
Already had two heartwrenching moments. Such a big smile when we saw the sketch for the song "The Coconut Counting Man".
Count: A faworite of mine. Me too.
And then the bus ride with the father and little girl naming businesses and things on their way to their apartment home... *Teared up and head crumpled down in lap.

No, Gillis, you're right. There are some parts about school, college included, that I miss. Hence one of the reasons I moved into the dorms here. At least this time I got to pick my roommates...

07-24-2005, 09:12 PM

Rowlf: You look beat.

I am beat. But you know, there were a couple of pretty funny moments at the party.

Rowlf: For example.

Let's just say it's very amusing to watch my cousins turn frisbee into a contact sport. But you know what I think the best part was?

Rowlf: Nope. Tell.

My little cousin Eden came and found me and said "Can we watch Elmo?" I said "Elmo? We don't have any Elmo." And she said, "Yes you do, I saw it!" So she takes me over to the tv and points to a tape of "Follow That Bird." I guess she saw it was Sesame Street and figured Elmo had to be there. So we watch it, and she spent about the first ten minutes saying "Where's Elmo?" Then she spent another ten minutes asking if Snuffleupagus was going to visit Big Bird by airplane or car. But she seemed to enjoy it, and her big brothers definately got a kick out of it. They did ask why Elmo wasn't in it, but they didn't really seem to care. Oh, and Ben tackled me because he was sick of me singing along with all the songs. It was pretty amusing.

Rowlf: Sounds like it.

Chef: Yeeh, I'm gled yuoo hed a guud teeme-a. Hoo lung is yuoor femeely steyeeng in toon?

One more day. They leave bright and early Tuesday morning.

Chef: Nu vunder yuoor femeely's beee hefeeng su muny perteees. Um gesh dee bork, bork!

Yeah, no kidding. We've been cramming in visits. Anyway, the whole school-starting-the-same-day-camp-ends might not be as much of an issue as I thought.

Rowlf: Why's that?

Well, I'll be in a new building, but I can get a map before hand so I'll have a pretty good idea of where to go for my classes. Since it's a late start, it will be shortened periods. And the first day of school is usually just "Hi, I'm your teacher, here's the rules, here's the curriculum, here's what you'll need for this class, oh there's the bell, have a nice day." I think I can manage that on less than enough sleep. And since there were only four girls in my grade at camp last year, there might not be a lot this year either, so I won't necessarily have to deal with people talking all night.

Rowlf: Looking at the glass as half full, huh?

Trying.

Chef: <fills glass half way with water and sets it down in front of me> Meybe-a thet'll help.

Oh thanks Chef. I'm sure it will help. <picks glass up and dumps it over Chef's head.>

Hi Bry. Waiting for my packages too... Grover's the one who handles the mail delivery round these parts, along with his myriad of other jobs. Course, it all piles up at the lobby and gets sorted out when I come back at the end of the day.

As for RC Kermit, I ordered mine on 7/1, and Tony said that it had shipped just last week. Not sure if it shipped on the 19th as the message said or on the 21st as he said, but I'll give it 3-4 weeks before contacting him again. As for the Penguins and Uncle Deadly... Well, let's just say that they're in transit. If you're anxious to know, you can send Ignohippo a PM over on the PT board with your information.

Big Bird: Hi, Oscar! We moved in just last week. We are in the room at the very end of that hall. Do you wanna go with us to the park and play?
Oscar: No...
Big Bird: Why not?
Oscar: Because I am a grouch and grouches do not play. I am perfectly miserable here in my trashcan.
Rosita: (Coming in the room) Hola, Oscar!
Oscar: Oh, great. More happy people on my floor!? Why it's enough to make me sick.
Big Bird: Then you should see a doctor.
Oscar: No, I don't wanna see a doctor.
Big Bird: Well, then if you are sick how will you get better?
Oscar: You wanna know what will make me feel better?
Rosita: To go with us to the park and play?!
Oscar: No, for you to go to the park and play and leave me ALONE! (slams down his lid)
Big Bird: Boy, what a grouch. Come on, lets go to the park.
Rosita: Okay!
(we leave to the park)

Herry & Cookie: Who?

Grover: Big Bird and Rosita.

Herry: BB and Rosita? Cool. More of our friends our living here.

Cookie M: Oh what goodies. This sound like cookie time. COWUBUNGA! *crunch, munch, gobble, gobble* BURP! Excuse me. *wips crumbs off fur* That good cookies. Want any Herry?

Herry: Not now. I just had a peanut butter sandwich. Good too.

Grover: *looks at time* Oop? I forgot to deliver our mail around here. Be back monster and human. *runs off to bathroom and comes out dressed like a mail carrier* Time for the "MAILMONSTER!" *shoots off around the dorms throwing mail or boxes in the rooms*

He's one fast monster there. Hope he don't get tired by the time...*looks at time* Woops? Its already night time. Time for bath! *runs off towards bathrooms*

*comes back into the room after breakfast, waking the Fraggles* Sorry, guys. Didn't mean to wake you.

Gillis: *yawning* What time is it?

Twenty after eight in the morning.

Tosh: What're you doing up this early?

Because this week I have to work the 9 to 2 shift at the library instead of the 2 to 8 shift like I normally do on Tuesdays.

Tosh: So what are we supposed to do while you're gone?

*shrugs* Heck if I know. Explore the dorm some more, go down to the pool, watch some more SS episodes in Ed and the Count's room...whatever. Just don't have any wild parties in here.

Gillis: Because you don't want us to make a mess and trash the room?

No; because I don't want to miss out on anything. *winks at them before heading out the door* See ya this afternoon, guys.

Cookie M: Me not want none. *goes back to sleep*

Come on Cookie. Get up. Today's your cheak up at the doctor.

Cookie M: *wakes up fast* Me not want to. Me scared.

Grover: *walks into Cookie's room* Its ok to be scared Cookie. I was scared when I visited the doctor. My mommy helped me get over the fear.

Then thats what we'll do. Me, Grover and Herry will help you get over your fear of the doctor. By the way where is Herry?

Grover: Still asleep I guess.

Herry: I'm right here. Whats wrong?

Cookie is scared of going to the doctor. I told him that me, you and Grover are going to help him get over his fear.

Herry: Sounds easy to me. My granny helped me. I got sick and she had to take me to the doctor. The doctor then gave me a sucker. Don't worry Cookie I'll be here with you.

We'll need to live here about quarter to 11:00 ok. So I should have the food ready. Cookie go take a bath I should have lunch ready.

Cookie M: Ok but me not going to doctor. Nah uh.

Hey you guys wanna go hang out in the common room? I need some help brainstorming something, I figure the common room could be a good place to see if anyone has any ideas.

Rowlf: Sure.

<we help Chef clean up from breakfast and go to the second floor common room>

Ok, so in this next story I'm working on, the muppets are putting on- er, um, trying to put on- a big Summer show. This show is... well, it's big, it has a summer theme, and it's basically guaranteed to get a huge profit. Trouble is, I can't figure out a name for it. Here's what I've got so far: The Summer Show, Summer with the Muppets, Muppet Summer, Summer in the City, and Summer in the Theater. Keep in mind that part of the story is that they're trying to come up with a name for the show, so I also need some names to get shot down. Anybody got any suggestions?

The Count

*Coming upstairs to wait for my brother and chief figure photographer.

Heh, not sure if he'll get here. He might, then again he might not. All I can do is wait.
Count: But aren't you going to even have breakfast? Later, after I finish with my brother... If he comes.
Oh hi Lisa... Mulling over titles for the story?
Well, Summer in the City would be better for one of the musical numbers, since that's the name of a song recorded by The Loving Spoonful.

Maybe... A Mid-Summer Muppets Classic?
Oh well, I'm sure you'll get the title and story worked out.

TogetherAgain

07-26-2005, 11:05 AM

Well it's not really for the title of the story, it's just a show that they're putting on within the story. The title is a whole other dilema, but I'll play with that later. Thanks for the suggestion, though! <jots down "A Mid-Summer Muppets Classic">

Chef:Yuoo steell dun't hefe-a a teetle-a fur zee stury?

<shrug> I'll figure it out eventually. Probably within writing the next chapter or two. We'll see. Got any more suggestions?

Chef: Ummmmmm...

Red: Well, good!
Thanks! Now I'm going to have lunch with some people from work.
Red: Cool, will you be back later?
Yeah, I'll be back for dinner. Talk to you then!

Well, thankfully my brother did arrive and we were able to take the photos I wanted. Will have to wait til his next visit to have them named and saved on the master CD though.
And the collection's at 100 items, have to resolve something about a mix-up with Tony.

07-26-2005, 06:12 PM

Rosita: Hey, Bryan. There is a box here at the door.
Bry: Oh, hey! Maybe it's my package.

Rosita: (picking it up and bringing it inside) You're name is on it. It must be yours.
Bry: (Taking box from Rosita) Oh wow!! You know how long I've been waiting for this thing to arrive?

Oscar: (calling from down the hall) Yes, please don't remind us!!
Rosita: Oh, Oscar. (laughs)
Big Bird: (coming back in) Hey, what's going on?
Rosita: Bryan got a package.
Big Bird: You did? You mean that little box that Grover was carrying was for you?
Bry: That's right, Big Bird.

Big Bird: Oh, boy! Well, what's in it?
Bry: Well, I'll show ya. Let's just open it up here. First I need to get a knife to cut the tape with.

Big Bird: Oh, be careful with that knife there. You don't wanna hurt yourself.
Bry: Thanks, Big Bird.

Rosita: Well, what is it?
Big Bird: Yeah, I wanna see.
Bry: Just a sec... this thing is really packaged good.

(Finally getting it open) Woohoo!!

Big Bird: What is it?
Bry: This! (holding it up)

Big Bird: It's a little plastic toy. Hey, you know what? That toy looks just like Kermit.
Bry: It is Kermit, Big Bird.

Big Bird: Nah, I may be a big bird, but that frog looks too small to be Kermit.
Rosita: No, Big Bird. It is a toy of Kermit. Right, Bryan?
Bry: That's right. But not just any toy. This is a very special toy. It's the Rainbow Connection Kermit from Palisades. Remember when we watched that movie that Kermit was in and he played the banjo and sang that song?

Big Bird: Oh, yeah. I guess it looks just like him, only smaller.
Rosita: Yeah, and look at the cute little vegetables in there too. And little green Robin. Oh, I just want to hold him and love him all the time!
Big Bird: Wait. Who is this little boy here in this picture?
Bry: Oh, that's Cooper Perry. He is the boy that this figure was made for.

Rosita: Oh, well I hope he likes it too.
Big Bird: Yeah!
Bry: Well, actually guys, he isn't really here to play with it.

Big Bird: Well, of course not, silly. He is at his own house playing.
Bry: No, I mean, Cooper Perry died.

Big Bird: Died?
Bry: Yeah, remember when Mr. Hooper died?

Big Bird: Oh, yeah, i sure do. That was so sad.
Bry: Yeah, well, the same thing happened to Cooper. He died of a sickness called meningitis.

Rosita: But he is so young.
Bry: Yeah, that happens sometimes. But they made this special figure in his memory, and the money that people spend on these toys will go to a special fund to help support research about brain trauma.

Rosita: Well, that's nice. This is a very special figure.
Bry: It is. And by purchasing this, we helped other children.

Big Bird: We did?
Bry: That's right. Makes you feel good, huh.

Big Bird: It sure does. (looking at picture) Hi, Cooper. Wherever you are, we are sure thinking about you.
Rosita: And we all love you very much.
Big Bird: Yeah!
Bry: That's sweet, guys. Come on! Lets go put this somewhere with the other figures.

Big Bird: Hey, Bryan?
Bry: Yeah, Big Bird?

Big Bird: If it's okay with you, can I put the picture of Cooper by my nest next to Mr. Looper?
Bry: I think that would be great, Big Bird. (patting him on the beak)

The Count

07-26-2005, 07:23 PM

*Surprised he got Cooper correct on his first try.
**That's a nice thought, BB placing the picture of Cooper next to his sketched portrait of Mr. Hooper.

Sorry I didn't answer you earlier Big Bird. Was downstairs having dinner. As for right now, think I'll relax a bit more with a bit of TV. My brother came today, and I'll be doing a bit of fussing and reworking with the figures that are still MOC and/or MIB in my collection.

You know Bry... When I get packages that big, be it from PT or my online dealings... Usually I end up finding a slit on the sides to slide in my home keys, and I use them to rip that sucker open. Ends up being much safer than having to ask the Chef to borrow one of his knives.
Glad you got your RC Kermit though. For the time being, I'll put it with the others I'm counting as part of S10. But when I work with the overall display, he'll go in front of the band on the left center shelf.

Have a good night guys.

BEAR

07-27-2005, 12:42 AM

Hi, Ed. Yeah, Big Bird didn't mess up Cooper's name like he does Hooper. I have come to figure out that when it comes to other kids' names, he doesn't forget. :)

Bry: Eeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

Big Bird: What's wrong?

Rosita: Yeah, que pasa?

Bry: Oh, I can't sleep.

Rosita: Aw, why not?

Bry: I dunno. I guess I just have a lot on my mind. All the things I need to do tomorrow.

Rosita: Is there anything we can do to help?

Bry: I just can't seem to relax.

A Gravelly Voice: (from outside the window) Sounds like you could use some soothing melodies to rest your brain.

Bry: What? (going over to the window and seeing a familiar friend with a saxaphone sitting on the wooden flower garden box on the sill.) Hoots, is that you?

Hoots: You bet your bass cleff, it is.

Rosita: Well, what are you doing out here by our window?

Hoots: Just enjoying the soft sounds of the night and playing a few of my own.

Big Bird: You mean, that was you that's been playing that music the last few nights.

Hoots: That's right, "Big Bopper."

Bry: Do you live in the dorms?

Hoots: No, not exactly. But sometimes I like to come here at night and play my music. It's sort of a way for me to unwind.

Bry: Unwind?

Hoots: Sure, in fact, it sounded as if you could use a little unwinding yourself. All you have to do is listen to the soft night sounds around you. And a nice steady rhythm will cool your head nicely too. I even know a song about it. What do you say I sing you dudes a real cool tune on my horn here? I guarantee it'll melt your muscles right into your mattress.

Bry: Sounds great. Are you sure it'll work?

Hoots: Hey, is Guy smiley? ;)

Bry: Okay...Thanks, Hoots. (getting back in bed)

Hoots: (Playing a soft jazzy melody on his saxaphone, and sings...)
Quiet is raindrops falling on grass
Quiet is clocks that tick and hours that pass
Quiet is breezes blowing soft in the air
Quiet is elm trees growing
Quiet is no one there...

Quiet is lonesome once in a while,
But quiet is feeling good and starting to smile
Quiet is like a soft and gentle sound
That helps us listen to the world that's all around...
(Saxaphone solo)

Quiet is like a soft and gentle sound
That helps us listen to the world that's all around_________.

Goodnight.

<sigh> You know, there's something almost depressing about filling up a notebook.

Rowlf: Why's that?

Oh I don't know. But I mean, look at this. This is almost all of "Chasing Robin" and the beginning of "Summer in the Theater". And now it's full. I think what I love about notebooks so much is that you can put whatever you want in them. But when they're full... well, they just don't take anymore. They just go sit on the shelf and collect dust.

Rowlf: But don't you still have to type some of the stuff in there?

Oh of course, I need to type up all of "Summer in the Theater," so I guess I'm still kind of using it. But it just sort of feels like the official end of "Chasing Robin."

Rowlf: Official endings leave you kind of empty, huh.

Yeah. But there is one good thing about finishing a notebook.

Rowlf: What's that?

You get to start a new one. And I happen to have another notebook just waiting for me to write all over it.

Rowlf: Wouldn't it be better just to write on the pages?

Very funny. I'll go grab it.

Rowlf: I'll wait here.

Thing is, there's a real pitcher named Putz and a hitter named Kevin Mench and a sports writter named Shmuck.

Speaking of siglines, got another one I'll be using in a day or two here. You might recognize it, since it's a take on a classic Muppet song.

Rosita: So much for the surprise.
Big Bird: Oh, boy! I love that song! But, um... what does "Jelly-welly gigglin'" mean, anyway?

Big Bird: Who??
Bry: Nevermind.

Hi Red, I'm home finally.
Red: Wow, long day huh?
Yeah, field trip day. I'm beginning to really dislike these days. I get so tired by the time I get home.
Red: Where did you go today?
Indoor water park. It was just ok.
Red: Indoors? On a beautiful day like today?
Yeah, well, we plan the trips before we know what the weather is like.
Red: Oh, ok, I get it.
Anyway, I'm heading to bed, I'm exhausted!
Red: Ok, I'll just read quietly over here.

Sure thing Bo. You're lucky I'm up at this moment. Saw the thread title over in the Friends & Fmily section, thought the worst. Know what it's like losing your dad. I'll add this big Garfield plush and a small bag of candy hearts to the pot, from all of us here at the dorms.

Well Red, what do you think?
Red: I think flowers would be nice.
Yeah, but I want to give her something besides flowers.
Red: A card?
Of course a card, but something else too.
Red: Hmmm...
I know! We'll give her a bunch of Garfield DVD's, then when she's feeling up to it, she can watch them and hopefully they will cheer her up.
Red: That's a great idea!
I know Ed left a big Garfield plush for her, so this will just go with it!
*they assemble gifts in a basket*
All right, let's bring these down to room 6.
*they leave basket with daisies, a card offering sympathy and Garfield DVD's outside of Kathy's room with a note that says "if you need to talk you know where to find us"*
Wow Red, look at all the nice things people have left for Kathy!
Red: We have such wonderful friends here.
We do indeed Red, we do indeed.

No...I've just been laying here thinking.
Prairie:Well a lot of our doormates sent stuff up to you. Cards, flowers, cookies,Garfield DVDs for when you feel up to watching them.
That was sweet of them. I'm surprised Cookie Monster didn't get into the cookies. *small smile*

Big Bird: Yeah, I can relate. I know what it's like to have someone you love so much die. Mr. Pooper was like a grandfather to me.

Bry: That's Hooper, Big Bird, and I think we should do something for her.

Rosita: Ohh, I can make a pretty card. I have some markers and crayons but am out of paper. I will go down to the front desk and grab some extra paper from the printer. I'll be right back!

Bry: Sounds great, Rosita. What about you, Big Bird.

Big Bird: I dunno. I was kinda thinking I wanted to paint a picture.

Bry: Good, you have always been a great artist.

Big Bird: Thanks.

Rosita: I'm back with the paper!

Bry: Agh! Rosita, what is that awful smell?!

Rosita: Oh, this? (Holds up a smelly old fish wrapped in newspaper and tied with a string) It's from Oscar.

Bry: That's from Oscar?

Rosita: Yeah, he may be a grouch, but it's sweet to know that he is always thinking of other people.

Bry: Yeah...wait, don't bring it in hear.

Rosita: Well, why not?

Bry: Because it smells like a dump. Here. put in it this paper bag and keep it closed.

Rosita: Okay, well I am going to make my pretty card.

Big Bird: And I am going to paint my picture.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Big Bird: All done! Bryan, come and see what I did.
Bry: Wow! That's great, Big Bird.

Big Bird: Yeah, I decided to paint a picture of all our friends, so that she remembers that we all care for her.

Bry: Aww.

Rosita: That is beautiful, Big Bird. Oh, but come see the card I made. See on the front I drew a sun and flowers and on the inside i wrote "Warm and fuzzies. Love, Rosita".

Bry: Well, what is this letter "I" and "U" that are on there?

Rosita: Oh, I was eating my alphabet cereal and spilled a little. I will try and clean it up right now.

Bry: Wait a sec. Just draw a little heart between the letters and look what it says.

Rosita: Oh, "I <3 U" Bryan, you are muy intellegente.

Bry: Well, muchas gracias. Okay, lets put your painting and card in these envelopes. Big Bird, don't forget to sign your picture. Okay, and I made some bird seed cookies and picked some flowers from our window garden.

Big Bird: Umm...Bryan? She's not a bird. I don't think she eats birdseed.

Bry: Hey, its all we have in the kitchen. Someone forgot to go to the store. Besides, they will be fine. Rosita, you are in charge of that stinky fish thing. Let's all carry this stuff down to Kathy's room. Come on, guys!

Yup, glad it's all done. Now... Maybe I'll have some time to tend to getting the Count's collection of castle counting creatures started.

Also have some errands to deal with next week regarding some deals and school stuff... Hope you guys have a good weekend.

Bry: I think it is too soon, Rosita. Let's give her some space and she can make the move for that.

Yes... but-

Fairly...

Rowlf: You know it would help if you were more decisive.

If I was more decisive, we wouldn't have this problem to begin with.

Rowlf: Exactly. So what's the next scene?

Interior, Kermit's bedroom, night. Probably around 10:30 or 11:00, if you wanna get specific.

Rowlf: Who's in it?

I think it's just Kermit and Fozzie, but I could be wrong.

Rowlf: Well, how about you get ready for bed, and then you can always write a little more before you actually go to sleep.

That sounds like a plan.

Snuffy: (also outside the window) Well, no, Bird. In fact, I would say he looks pretty YOUNG.
Bry: No, it doesn't have to do with age.
Rosita: Of course not. It says you are a Senior member. Senior means "sir" in Spanish. Doesn't it, Bryan?
Snuffy: Well, that doesn't seem to make much sense.
Big Bird: Yeah, "Sir Member"? That sounds kinda silly to me.
Bry: Actually, Rosita, in this case it isn't the Spanish pronunciation. Senior is just kind of a status kind of thing. In this case it just means I have been on the MC boards for a while and posting a lot.

Rosita, BB and Snuffy: Oh, well....CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Bry: Thanks but its no big deal.

Snuffy: Why not? What does it mean?
Bry: Nothing, just that I have no life.

Big Bird: Actually, I was gonna ask if it would be okay for Snuffy to sleep over tonight.
Bry: Well, you know I wouldn't normally mind, but I don't think there is a whole lot of space in the room here for Snuffy to sleep. Plus, how will he get in. The door is pretty small for him to fit.
Snuffy: He's got a point there, Bird.
Big Bird: Yeah, that could be a problem.
Bry: Ya know what you could do? It's a warm night. Why don't you guys take that big tent I have here in the closet and go camp out in the yard?
Snuffy: That sounds like a gr-eat idea!
Big Bird: Yeah. Good thinking. You're so smart!
Bry: Aww thanks. I don't think Ed would mind, but I will leave him a message just to let him know what's going on so he isn't too surprised to see a huge tent with a Snuffleupagus sleeping in his yard.

That's OK Bry... Uh, by "yard", do you mean the outside patio? It's OK you set up the tent so BB and Snuffy can sleep out there. Just make sure everything's put away again in the morning.

Oh, and congratulations. "Senior" member is kind of like a status thing here at MC. When you first join the forums, you start out as a "Junior Member" with 0 posts. Then, after 30 posts, you ascend up to "Member". And at the grand total of 1000 posts, you're elevated to have the title of "Senior Member". Once upon a time, being a Senior Member was truly magical... Cause you got access to the hottubs. Rully miss that place and all the fun we had there. But now, all dorm residents who happen to have become Senior Members not only will get their own dorm robes... But will also get a special second surprise at the celebrations.
Hope this helps and hope everyone's able to sleep well.

The Count

07-31-2005, 08:50 AM

Ah ha! So good to finally get you guys lodged here in the dorms.
*Takes key from marble 57. Follow me and I'll show you to your room.

*Passing through two sets of double doors. The stairwell's there in the door to your right between these sets of double doors, but I'd recommend using the method we'll use now to get from floor to floor.
*All enter common room and dumbwaiter elevator hidden inside old world furnace. Yep, this baby's how we move inside the dorms. Oh hey Bo, have a good time at the party for the Senior Boomers!

*Dumbwaiter elevator reaches top or fourth floor and opens up. Here we are in this floor's common room... Notice the red radishes printed on the carpet here, different than the other common rooms.
*All exit common room into hallway. OK, now a turn to our right... And it should be... yes, third door down on our right.
*Hands key to room 57 to Derek. A few things before I leave you guys.
This floor's bathrooms are the last door down on your left in this hallway, the room diagonally across from yours to the right. Your neighbors are:
Luke and Gonzo on your left and FraggleRocks and Piggy on your right, depending from your POV. Philo and Gunge and his roommates are in the room across from yours, and G-Man and Rizzo are in the room diagonally across from yours on your left, again depending on your POV. If you get confused, you can always get a map of the dormhouse at the lobby desk down on the second floor. Not sure how many of these neighbors will still be around at the time of the anniversary, contacted almost all of them and still awaiting replies.

Be sure to post a descript of what you want your room to look like, taking into account the tastes of yourself and your roommate as well. And be sure to contact me with ideas for designs for your own robe and one for your roommate... Wouldn't want you to miss out on the anniversary celebrations.
Hope you have a good time here at the dorms and welcome!

Gillis: Well, someone certainly slept in late this morning!

Oh come off it, Gillis. I had to get up to be at work by nine three days in a row. I deserve a chance to sleep past seven o'clock for once.

Gillis: So then how come you get on our cases if Tosh and I sleep past 10?

Because I don't want either of you developing my brother's bad habits. That kid's been known to sleep past one in the afternoon if he's allowed. Now, do you have your sympathy cards for Kathy signed?

Tosh: Mine's finished! *hands it to Kim*

*reads it* That's very nice, Tosh. Signed by both you and Beast, good. How 'bout you, Gillis?

Gillis: Hold on, hold on... *hums to himself while writing something in the card* There. Done. *hands the card to Kim*

Okay, let's see...*reads the card* Very nice, Gillis. I like the part about keeping part of him alive in her memory; you come up with that yourself?

Gillis: Actually I learned that from Wembley, when he taught me a song he loved that helped remind him of a special friend he had lost. That way, he explained, his friend was never completely gone.

I see. Well let's go take these cards and flowers down to Kathy and Prairie's room.

Oh hi Prairie. Sure hope Kathy's OK. Know that it might hurt losing a loved one, went through something like that myself thirteen years ago almost. Well, let us know if there's anything we can do for her.
Prairie:Hi Count. I think Kathy's going to need some time to grieve. But I managed to get into our room before despite the barricade of pillows in the back of our door.I just rubbed her back & let her cry.
She & her dad were pretty close.The wake is tomorrow & the funeral is on Tuesday.Kathy found out a little while ago that one of her former neighbors (whom she hates and the guy gave Kathy's dad a tough time for a little while)is coming for the wake. :mad: Kathy's mom told her to just put up with the guy tomorrow. So Kathy's kinda wondering if you have any spare voodoo dolls hanging around. I told her that that wasn't nice. But Kath came back with "Prairie..this jerk gave my dad h-e- double hockey sticks when they were on the board of directors together. Plus his wife has this annoying nasal voice that grates on my nerves!"*sigh* Poor Kathy

I've been with my parents heping my grandparents get a couple new telephones.

Rowlf: Sounds stressful.

What, shopping for telephones with a 92 year old man and an 84 or so year old woman, and then teaching them how to use them, stressful? What in the world would give you that idea... Oy... Somebody feed me.

Ah, you guys always know how to make me laugh. Hope you have better luck if Grover's the one delivering your pizza Lisa.

Hi Prairie... You did well steering Kathy away from borrowing one of my or the Count's voodoo dollies. To tell the truth, we only have the ones from that Scooby-Doo episode. Maybe one of the castle creatures wil be one...
Sorry to drift like that. Tell you what. Kath can have a little talisman if she wants. It can be a medal or a little PVC figurine, maybe one of Garfield or something like that. Some people think that little figurines like those can help guide/guard you in dreams, and I think she might need one to ward off any bad vibes she might get at the proceedings this week. Just let her know she can talk to us if she needs to, and we're here to help her through this tough time.

Good night everyone, think a good night's sleep would be good for us all.

Tosh: Hey Kim, what're you making?

It's a dream catcher, for Kathy.

Gillis: What's a 'dream catcher'? *looks at it* It looks more like a spider's web to me.

That's what it's supposed to look like. *holds it up for Tosh and Gillis to see* It's an old Native American belief. The Native Americans would hang these above their heads in their sleeping places. And at night, while they were sleeping, when their dreams came the good dreams would slip through the holes and into their minds while the bad dreams would get caught in the web and not make it.

Tosh: Wow. That's a really cool idea. Can we make dream catchers, too?

I don't see why not. But, it'll have to wait until tomorrow. *ties final knot* There. Finished. I'll go deliver this to Kathy, and then we can get to bed.

08-01-2005, 04:53 AM

Hmmm... Maybe what Kathy needs is a kachina doll.
Count: What's that?
Oh... Kachina dolls are these small dolls that represent Native American deities. They represent their gods or immortal heroes and are used as centerpieces in traditional dances to summon that spirit down to Earth. That way the doll collects the spirit and helps the person who performed the dance with whatever ability that god or hero is renound for in their myths and stories.
Count: Ah I understand. All ve had back in Transylwania were our little demon statuettes.
Yes and I hope the Baku's out there chowing down on everybody's bad dreams.
Count: Ah yes, and I can count those devoured dreams.
Maybe some other time... Let's get back to sleep, we got a busy day ourselves as well.
Hope Kathy lets us know if there's anything we can do to help her. Prairie should get a little something too for taking care of Kath. Think I'll make some nice fudge spiders for her.
Oh well... *ZZZZ.

Red: Oh, I see.
Are you mad?

I'm sorry! I can spend lots of time with you today though!
Red: Ok! Let's go swimming! It's hot!
How did I know you'd want to do that? Sounds good, but let's grab breakfast first.

Got all the important papers sent to my campus office. Hope they have the matriculation payment ready by Thursday to complete those errands then.
My brother came and we got the new folder with the pics to show off Super Link and send some to my cousin working on the project.
And my mom sent off a couple of MO's for deals to add to the collection.

And most importantly... Got the first two members of the S1 group of Counting Castle creatures finalized. Will send them to my friend for drawing them when the whole first team's done.
Now... On to a good dinner and Monday Night Raw, and it'll be a great day.

Must feel great to have your roomies' action figures almost all in hand Ryan. When the Count gets home and helps me open them up, you can come and see 'em if you want.
Oh, and wouldn't you just have the Penguin figure holding Waldorf's score cards? Just an idea.

Lookin' forward to the rest of the figures we got coming!
Oh, and you know I keep a record of the dorms register. Well, one of the tricks I use to help me know who's with whom and in which room is to just keep track of the figures released by Palisades.
For example... The fourth floor East Wing has Luke with Gonzo (so I just think of S5 Gonzo in the space for Room #59), Ernie101 and Sweetums, (S9 special release in the space for Room #57), FraggleRocks and Miss Piggy (think of the figure from S1 but with the heads switched like the one in my display in the space for Room #55) and so on.

Me: *grunts underneath the weight of a box* Hey! When did you move into the dorms! It's great to see you. Yeah, we could use some help here.

Sprocket: *sees Rowlf* Bark! Bark!

Gobo: Hi Chef! Long time no see.

The Count

*Goes upstairs to help out.
Hey Christy, lemme help you there. OK, we'll just take this stuff inside...
Hmmm, now where to put it that it won't be in the way... Oh, I know. We'll just put it here in this store room near the lobby.
Come on, we'll help you get your stuff moved in. The key to Room #2's on the desk, left it there for you. And if you got the ideas for your robes to give 'em now, that'd be great. But if you have other pressing things t tend to, I'll understand. Just great to see you when we get the chance.

Hey UD, Christy's back, I'm gonna go help her unpack, you wanna come?

UD: Certanly. Let's get moving shall we?

Alright come on.

*Goes to Christy's room*

Hey Gobo, Sprocket, Christy, need some help?

Me: *looks around at everyone* Hi guys. The storeroom will be great, Count. I have my robe ideas....uhhh in one of these boxes. Give me a few and I'll PM it to you. We're just dropping off some stuff and stopped by for a short visit.

Gobo: We miss you all so much. But we've been helping Christy's family with the move.

Sprocket: Bark, woof.

Me: No, Sprocket, your crater to China doesn't count as help.

The Count

08-02-2005, 05:58 PM

Sure thing Christy, no prob... When you get the chance. Oh, got something for you to take back.
*Runs out to common room and searches through fridge. Now where are they? Ah, here they are.
*Scoops out stuff and puts it in a ziploc baggy.

OK, got it. Some Doozer dust cookies Red made to share... a couple of bags of Doozersticks... a can of Sprocket's fave dog food... And a frozen pizza with a box of oatmeal raisin number cookies for when you get back home.
Rully glad to see you again, hope we see you in these little pop-ins of yours more often Christy.

Me too. You know what? I gotta give you a raincheck on the robe designs. I'm sorry to make you wait like this. I thought I had the file on this comp. Anyways, I gotta go now. Take care. I'll pop in friday for sure and give you that design! Thanks for the goodies. We'll enjoy them!

And with that... She's gone again. Like a candle flickering in the wind... Or a ghostly vision receeding back into the darkness, only to haunt our minds with her next presence.

Oh sorry bout the revelrie... Guess I'm in a good spooky sort of mood, what with looking forward to my Uncle Deadly figure and the counting of critters at the castle.
Heh, just hope you guys have a good restful sleep, as you enter the ebb and flow of that oft-inky Plutonian shore.

Count: He looks so vonderful!
Yep, he sure does.

Wow, such a great figure Palisades made of Uncle Deadly. Except for the nose whips not there, it's rully a great figure. Love the little chain across his vest, and the tatters across his coat. The horns and tail and claws make him look just so... spooktacular!
Fright now I got him on one of my shelves, with his left arm in an L-position and palm up holding Yorick. The Ghost's on the floor of the shelf next to UD, the stand's behind the ghost. Not sure which end's supposed to go up since they both fit into the hole on the base.
Ah well, hope you guys get to Rest In Peace. Know that the Count and I certainly will...

Heroes have to roam.

If you wander in your wending,
Just remember no pretending,
Every journey has an ending.
Time to hurry home.

Welcome back, Christy Girl!
Welcome home, welcome home, welcome home.

UD: So what's the plan for tomorrow?

Well, at 10:10 am I have to go to the orthodontist, and I think their gonna put some braces in.

UD: Frightful!

I know! I think I'm gonna have 'em for two years!

UD: Wow!

Ooh, braces! <shudder> I definately don't miss having those. Good luck on them. And remember, if you get either white, gray, or silver bands, people tend not to notice that you even have them. ;) I had mine for a year before some people noticed... Anyways, me be sleepy, so me go beddy-by...

*grins* Y'know, Ernie, Gillis would be within his rights to sue you guys for copyright infringement...

Gillis: Why would I want to do that?

Because they used your "Welcome" song for Traveling Matt for Christy, and only changed a couple words.

Gillis: Oh, that. I actually thought it a bit flattering that they used that song to welcome our wandering dormmate home. Although I am a bit miffed that the monsters took my idea.

Tosh: Lemme guess; YOU wanted US to sing that song for Christy?

Gillis: Well...yes.

Guess we'll just have to settle for saying 'Welcome Back', huh?

Beast: *nods and grumbles*

Well then...welcome back, Christy, Gobo and Sprocket!

No, it's just bullet points. But it still needs to be complete detailed thoughts.

Rowlf: Well that's not too bad. You'll just work on it for a couple days, it won't be a problem. You like reading.

Yes, but...

Chef: Nu boots! Joost teke-a a deep breet. Relex. It'll be-a feene-a.

Hey guys... Contacted as many people and Muppets registered here at the dorms about the anniversary celebrations. Seen a couple of people on board who haven't answered to my PM or E-mail inbox. Frogster and Fragglemuppet, if you could, I'd appreciate it if you took the time to reply at least whether or not you'll be staying... The robes ideas can be sent in later.
Need to talk to Dean Chapman about a couple of holdouts though.

Remember, you need to reply by 9/10/2005 if you'll at least be staying or not. If you don't reply by that date, then I'll have no choice but to declare your room and roommates once again available to others.
That is all, hope you guys have a good day.

Hair's on DVD? Oooh, that'll make a great gift for my mom for Christmas. And we can watch it together too.
Still trying to get a home run by getting all four million dollar songs on my Classic Rock & Roll channel (424 on Adelphia).

Oh hey, thanks for the cookies Bryan.
You know... If you did some remodeling/reconstruction to your room...
Like make that side door you have actually open up to the outside... Then maybe it'd be big enough for Snuffy to fit through, and he could come and go as he pleases. Just an idea/suggestion, not sure if you'd be interested though.
Might be the opening you were looking for to bring him in as your roomie.

Well, gonna take care of some other things. Have a good afternoon/evening. And party on at the Senior Boom Club!

Either that, or talk to some Doozers. They could do the job just as well.

BTW: Just noticed this thread's been made a "sticky" thread. Thank you to whoever made that move.
Gonna take a break, just finished a long period of trying to attach all the photos for my submission to Quinn's Custom Corner.
See you guys later.

08-03-2005, 09:41 PM

Ah, that's a bit better. Had some dinner and I feel a bit more relaxed. Sent my pics of Super Link to Quinn, not sure when they'll be shown though.

Oh Ryan, got my Uncle Deadly signature figure opened and on display on one of my shelves. Rully a great figure. Got him with his left arm in an L-position holding Yorick in his upturned hand. The ghost's on the rod on the base next to him. Not sure it's necessary though, it seems to stand up just fine without the base.
Oh, and I got an E-mail on Monday saying my Penguins are on their way. Hope they like the hot/humid climate of the tropics... Especially after that Heat Wave number they did with Piggy.
The package I got on Monday though... That was the PCC tin sent to make up for the wrong one I received when my June order finally got here a couple of weeks ago. Gonna check its contents now and see how well it glows.

Yeah, was going to. We were going to stay to the end of dancing, and then go grab a bite to eat. But we got tired, left before it ended, and didn't eat. So here I am.

Bry: I don't think he's going quite that far for just a weekend.
Big Bird: Maybe Eduardo the Penguin can come over and play. I've always wanted to ask him but afraid he would say no.
Bry: Why don't you give them a call tomorrow or something. Anyway, I am exhausted. I think I will go to sleep now. How about you guys?

Then my sister's taking me to where my other sister works around 3:30ish, and that sister is taking me to her appointment with the oral surgeon, and after that she's taking me to a "welcome home" party for some of my friends who just got back from Israel. I'll be home pretty late.
