Muppet College Dorms: The Next Semester

[Fragglemuppet]

*drops by Ed's room.* Hi Ed. Who is this so-called human being that is the newest most destructive force in the anels of muppetdom?

[The Count]

Oh hi Kate... Sorry I didn't hear you knocking. And maybe I exaggerated a little... But this guy, Jim Hill, has a website where he's been posting articles on everything Disney-media related for the past few years. When MWoO was initially broadcasted, he posted an article condeming the film and trashing it for everything it was worth. What Jim Hill Media neglected to mention, was how the information he was spouting off was partially wrong. That, plus a few other articles that have been posted there in the past with mostly misinformation have earned him a spot in the rubbish pile. Personally, I'd only use his printouts to line the bottom of the guano buckets.

Again, sorry... But this guy's got a track record of getting things wrong and stirring fan interest into a frenzy when all he's doing is shoddy journalism. You can check a few of the past forum threads for our conversations about it, or ask Fozzie Bear. Hope this helps answer your questions.

[The Count]

*Tacking a third notice on the bulletin board...

Announcement:
Hey guys... Casting for Muppet Survivor 2 has started, and I think there's one spot left. If anybody's interested in joining the show, please go and post in the thread in the Games section. We could rully use another female Muppet or Fraggle among the group. Bear from the Big Blue House will serve as the game's host, please contact him if interested. That is all.

[The Count]

Ugh... Never mind that last announcement, can't find a way to delete my posts even though there's an option at the end of each post to do that.
Just have a good day here at the ol' MC dorms everybody.

[theprawncracker]

Gonzo: *at computer* RYAN!!

Me: *runs in* What? What?

Gonzo: That didn't really happen!

Me: What are you talking about?

Gonzo: This right here! In your fan-fic! I never shot myself out of a cannon into a brick wall!

Me: Gonzo...It's a story.

Gonzo: Oh...I thought you were just lying to the good people here. But, uh, maybe you could tell me what happens next, you know, just so I can tell if you're doing justice to my character of me.

Me: Oh, ok Gonzo sure, well next we'll...Wait a second...If I tell you you're just gonna run off and tell everyone!

Gonzo: No I"m not! That is wrong Ryan! I am hurt that you don't trust me!

Me: Ok, ok fine! Next you'll go eat dinner at Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Gonzo: I knew it! Hey Ed guess what-Wait a sec! You're tricking me.

Me: Maybe, maybe not!

[BEAR]

Snuffy: It's such a nice day. Come on, let's go play outside!
Big Bird: Okay, coming, Snuff! (skates off through the back door)
Telly: (follows on his pogostick) BOING BOING BOING BOING
Rosita: (runs off carrying a beach ball) Hehehe! Oh boy!
Bry: I'll be out a little later, guys!

[Erine81981]

Come on guys. Let's go play outside with the gang.

Herry: Ok. Sounds fun.

Cookie M: Me got me sunscreen fur stuff.

Ok. Are you coming Grover?

Grover: I just need to get my sunglasses.

Herry: There right here. *throws them to Grover*

Grover: *catches them* Thanks Herry. Lets head out!

WHOOOOPIEEEE!!! *jumps out the door*

Grover: He sure gets a kick out of having fun.

Herry: That's why we love him.

[The Count]

Well... Just put up the notice. Hope my friends see it and can help. If not, then I'll probably deal with it on my own.
Eh, think I'll just go and get some pizza. Might help take my mind off of it and clear away the cobwebs so to speak.

*Grabs wallet and walking stick, heading out to Everybody Eats' pizzeria section.

[redBoobergurl]

*Red gives Beth a hug*
Beth: What was that for?
Red: The story. It has a nice ending
Beth: You're welcome. It's not done yet though, I gotta write an epilogue
Robin: Will someone read me the end of it?
Mokey: I will Robin
Beth: Hey anyone see Rowlf?
Mokey: I think he's got a gig tonight playing somewhere
Beth: Really? I didn't know he did that. Cool.

[tvlistingman]

PETER: Why don't we go outside to play with the Other Gang

ELMO: I'm going to play baseball with the monsters

ZOE: Me TOo

LITTLE BIRD: Me Three!!!

[The Count]

*Getting back to the dorms. Man that was a good pizza. Glad my roomie was there to share it. Think I'll do a bit of checking around, and then off to sleep.

[BEAR]

Hoots: (Flies in and lands at the window) Hey, Telly.
Telly: Hi, Hoots. How was your trip?
Hoots: It was groovin'. I'm pretty beat from flyin though. Think I might actually get some sleep tonight. Speaking of sleep, shouldn't you be snoozin yourself?
Telly: I'm just up enjoying the night and thinking.
Hoots: Okay, well...good night!
Telly: Night.

Telly: (singing a sweet lullabye type song while imagining) Sometimes I look up at the stars and pretend
There's someone way out there who could be my friend
If only I somehow could make my way there
I'm sure there'd be lots of great things we could share

And though we'd be different as different can be
In some ways I bet they would be just like me
They'd show me new things like outer space birds
And teach me to say some neat outer space words

Martians (in his imagination): Yip-yip. Uh-huh.
Telly: Yip-yip. Uh-huh.
Martians: Oh.

Telly: Then we could play "Gribble", the most fun of all!
It's a game that they play with an outer space ball
We'd laugh and play space games for all it was worth
And when we got tired I'd fly back to Earth

And who knows? Maybe my friend will feel free
To take a trip sometime and come visit me.

Martians: Yip-yip. Uh-huh.
Telly: Yip-yip. Uh-huh.
Martians: Oh!

(Telly finally nods off to bed while Hoots looks up and says...)

Hoots: The Dorms were sponsored today by the number 6 for 6 great days of vacation and the letter Y for ... "Yip-Yip"! Hehehe!!

[Erine81981]

*gets ready for work* Well I guess I'm heading off to work. Those were some great 12 days here in the dorms. I don't want to wake anyone so I'm going to tip toe out of the dorms. See ya'll when I get home from work. Bye. Sleep tight. Don't let the morning bugs wake you up. *closes the door solfty*

Herry: Zzzzzzzz.....

Cookie M: Zzzzzz...cookies....zzzzz....

Grover: Zzzzz.....zzzzzz.....

[BEAR]

Bry: Okay! Everyone ready to go to the pool?!
Telly: (excitedly, wearing snorkle mask) I am! I am!! Hahaha!! All right!
Rosita: (in sunglasses and flowery sun hat) Such a beautiful day to catch some rays.
Big Bird: (singing to self, carrying towel) Good morning, Mister Sun. La la la la la!!
Bry: Hey, where's Snuffy?
Snuffy: (from outside) *BOOM BOOM BOOM* (chuckling) Dohohoho! **SPLASH**
Bry: I guess he beat us there.

[theprawncracker]

*Water splashes on window*

Me: Hey, looks like Bry and his roomies are down at the pool! Anyone wanna head down there with me?

Gonzo: *darts out in his swimming suit* Yeah! Let's go!

Camilla: Bagawk!

Clifford: You already know my answer dude!

UD: Not me thanks, I've got a few fan-fictions to catch up on, you four go on. And if Cantus decides to come back from his Fraggle Rockin' tour early, I'll tell him where you've gone.

Me: Alright Uncle D. thanks!

[Bill Bubble Guy]

Martin: It's good to be back again Bill. Mummy is looking so much better and we watched 2 discs of Kimba.
Bill: It's good stuff isn't it?
Martin: Yeah. We'll watch some more when I visit her again next Tuesday to Thursday. I'm really excited.
Bill: Let's have a rest and see if we can catch up with Ally and Emmet.
Martin: Okay. I'll write a note for them explaining we're going to be away from Tues. to Thurs. approximately each week and if it suits them they can come and see us for a nice chat sometime. I'll have it sent to them while we rest.
Bill: That'll be fun.

[Erine81981]

Come on guys. I think it's time for some fun.

Grover: Swimming sounds like fun.

Herry: Havn't been in a long time. *runs into the closet and comes back out with his swimming suit on* I'm ready.

Grover: *puts on some sunfurscreen on his nose and fun* There. That should do it. Ready.

Cookie Monster are you ready?

Cookie M: Wait. Me almost ready.

Ok. Were waiting. I'll be right back. I'm going get Oscar to come with us.

Grover: But he would not go.

That's not what I'm going to say to him.

Few minutes past and where down at the Pool House

There. See. I told you I would get him down here with us.

Herry: How did you do it?

I told him that if he doesn't go he'll have to eat nice fried fish.

Grover: What is bad about that?

It won't be rotton. It will be fresh.

Herry and Grover both laugh

Oscar: *groans* I hate you.

[wwfpooh]

WWF: Back again..

Jill: Yeah, someone HAD to take a LONG vacation apparently.

WWF: Boy, someone is grouchy & this time, it's not Oscar...But, yeah. Anyway, care to see what the gang's been up to these last several...

Jill: Years?

WWF: It hasn't been THAT long, has it?

Jill: *nods*

WWF: Oh well. *head down to join gang & Jill follows*

[The Count]

Wha huh?!? wwfpooh and Jill? Man, where've they've been...
Hope they get the note for them at the lobby's desk. They probably headed off to the pool.
*Leaves note at lobby desk for wwfpooh and Jill Monster.
Hi guys, glad you finally made it. LMK which of the remaining available rooms you want, except #7... And I'll get you settled in, after which you can post your room layout and send me design ideas for your dorm members' robes.
Hope to hear from you soon, and have a great day catching up.

*Jill hands note & I read it*

WWF: Okay. It says for us to decide which room we want and that The Count (who is counting all of us; ^_^) would get us situated. Okay...Which number shall we choose?

Jill: Any number is fine with me, as long as our neighbors next door aren't too loud.

WWF: I agree. Now, I'll have to find The Count and ask which numbers are left...*goes to find The Count, with Jill at his heels, only to come to a sudden stop & whilst going over the note* Now, The Count also mentions robes, as well. Which colors do you prefer for yours?

Jill: I usually like bright colors.

WWF: I like dark, yet vibrant colors, like a royal purple or green.

Jill: And I'll take something like rubber ducky yellow or blue sky blue.

WWF: Okay, now that that's taken care of...off to find The Count. Now, if I were The Count where would I be?

Jill: In my castle counting something? Or watching over fellow members?

WWF: Good idea...*starts looking for The Count, with Jill right behind him*

WWF: Decisions, decisions. So many neighbors. It's hard to decide.

Jill: Not for me. I want neighbors that are friendly and that I can communicate well with, and seeing as that you and a few others have been friends--sort of (i.e. people you've talked with)--several months ago, I'd choose the room--if available--next to Kyle and his band of loveable SS characters.

WWF: Alright. Just as long as Cookie doesn't try to steal my stash again like last time...

[redBoobergurl]

Red: Look guys, more dormies!
Beth: That's awesome!
Mokey: It's sad how many of our friends we don't see anymore that are listed as living here
Rowlf: Well, I think that is what Ed's intention of the dorm closing in September at anniversary time, figure out who's still going to be here and stuff
Beth: Yeah, I think you're right. Tough decisions at that time I suppose
Robin: Well we can still have fun now right?
Beth: Of course! I wonder how Lisa's doing.
Robin: I miss her. But you guys are fun too.
Red: Of course we are! Whoopie!

[wwfpooh]

Mokey: It's sad how many of our friends we don't see anymore that are listed as living here
COLOR]

WWF: Probably 'cause they are still members, gone or not. I mean...I came back.

Jill: Because you spent days trying to find this thread again, for the other one closed on you.

WWF: *eye roll* Though this is true, I also had other matters to attend to.

Jill: Such as?

WWF: Well, such as preparing for the release of Classic Sesame in October & even more recent, the release of rival company--Warner Brothers--release of both A! season 1 and P&tB season 1 coming this month, not to mention the last airing of CN's "Titans" series.

Jill: Oh, yeah. I've met the Warner sibs before when you did a cross-over on another forum. They sure were zany little, uh...whatever-they-are's! As for the Titans, they are a lively group, especially what with having some that prefer to keep secrets (Raven) and some that don't mind devulging nearly everything (Beast Boy)...

WWF: *nods* But, now we're back to where we belong...on Muppet Central & especially here at the dorms.

Jill: Yeah. I really did miss it back here.

WWF: As did I.

[The Count]

And we're glad to have you guys back... By the way, are there to be any more Titan episodes after the one where they came back to Steel City, and Beast Boy found a girl that was Tara but wasn't?

Oh, and I'm sorry, but the room next to Kyle's is taken. So you have a better understanding...
Floor 1, West Wing: Rooms #1-7.
Floor 1 East Wing: Rooms #8-14.
Floor 2, West Wing: Rooms #15-22.
Floor 2, East Wing: Rooms #23-29.
Floor 3, West Wing: Rooms #30-37.
Floor 3, East Wing: Rooms #38-44.
Floor 4, West Wing: Rooms #45-52.
Floor 4, East Wing: Rooms #53-59.
So you see... Rooms #24 and 28 on both sides of Kyle's are already taken. There are still some rooms left available, LMK when you've decided and I'll get you settled in back here when you're ready.

[wwfpooh]

((1. The school girl was Tara "Terra" Markov, but she preferred not to recall her past (evidence: the statue that was her was gone, she flinched everytime Garfield "Beast Boy" Logan came apon a painful memory, she called him Beast Boy after awhile when--as a new person--she wouldn't've known his name or Titan alias, etc.).
2. The episode was "Things Change", how symbolic as it ended not only BB and Terra's relationship, but it also ended the series on the note it came in...with a bang and leaving fans wanting more.
3. The Titans West (for TV fans: BB, Rae, Cy, Rob, & Star OR for comic fans: Gar, Rae, Vic, Dick, & Kori) live in Jump City as named in "Teen Titans :GO!" the comics based from the series. The Titans East (Garth "Aqualad", Roy "Speedy" Harper, Karen "Bumblebee" Beecher, Mas y Menos, etc.), however, do live in Steel City.))

Back to the dorm situation...Question: Are the rooms listed the ones available or the ones taken? *is a wee bit confused*

[The Count]

OK... Thanks for the info... It just feel weird the way their airing schedule changed without any explanation like that.
And the rooms posted in the register above are the ones that are taken.
All others, except for #7, are still available. And be aware there'll be an announcement towards the end of August regarding the dorms' closure, just before reopening for their 2nd anniversary in the beginning of September.
Hope this helps... Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.

WWF: Okay then...We'll take "East Wing #1"...

Jill: Why there?

WWF: It's bound to be in the center of something or near something of interest.

[The Count]

Um... Sorry, not sure I understood. Which numbered room of the ones left do you want wwfpooh?

[RedDragon]

wwfpooh these rooms are the only ones open: #12, #16, #17, #18, #30, #31, #35, #37, #40, #42, #43, #45, #46, #47, #48, #49, #53, #54, #55, #57, #58, & #59...choose one of these...


<walks into room> Hey guys I'm back!

L: Nyssa!

A: Woof!

I think it's time for another techno dance party <starts music>

[theprawncracker]

Me: Oh good Nyssa's back! No more Ludo to sit on me!

Gonzo: Darn it! I didn't get a turn under the big guy!

Me: Count your blessings...

Gonzo: *takes out jar labled 'BLESSINGS'* One, two, three...

Me: Gonzo...

[RedDragon]

*blink* Ludo sat on you? <looks at Ludo> You shoudn't flatten my friends...

L: I sorry Nyssa...

It's all right big guy...All is forgiven.

(BTW: I've made senior member, check out "post count" thread)

[The Count]

Yeah... Guess I shoulda posted the vacant rooms instead. Thanks Nyssa.

*Drops off three small white boxes at Room #23's doorstep... They each contain MC Senior Member Kermit The Frog badges, with Nyssa's and Ludo's and Ambrosius's names in silver lettering upon each of the badges' collars.
Congrats on reaching SM status... Think how proud your fellow Chicagoan will be...
*More to self: Guess she'd be the one from Right Side of Normal.

The dorms have been brought to you by the Letters A and B, and the number 16.

[BEAR]

Bry: Hey, yeah! Remember those days when there were two letters of the day? What happened to that?
Hoots: It went the way Roosevelt Franklin did.
Bry: Beg your pardon?
Hoots: Nothin'.
Telly: ......Well...that was akward.
Bry: So what do you guys wanna do tomorrow?
Big Bird: We could go to the movies.
Snuffy: That's a good idea, Bird. It's been so long since I've been to the movies.
Big Bird: Me too.
Rosita: Will Scooter be working there tomorrow?
Bry: I'm not even sure he's in town right now, but maybe. I was thinking we could even invite some of our Dorm friends to come.
Telly: (putting fresh water in Chucky Sue's cage) Goodnight, Chucky Sue. (To me) That would be fun.
Bry: Telly, any Monster On the Spot reports for today?
Telly: Well, there were a couple new people moving in.
Big Bird: Really? Who?
Telly: Not really sure who, but there was quite a bit of confused commotion in the lobby.
Rosita: Maybe tomorrow we can find out who they are and invite them to the movies with us.
Bry: Sure! Let's all just get some sleep so we can be up and ready to go in the morning. Goodnight!

[The Count]

*Getting back from the bat-room... Oh hi Bry... So you know...
Scooter's on vacation with Sara, so I don't think he'd be working at Rainbow Connection Moviehouse... Least, not until they get back from Myrtle Beach.
wwfpooh is someone who was part of the original dorms, towards the end and tried to register when the new dorms opened. His roommate, Jill Monster, appeared with Jack in the sketch accompanying the classic SS song "Scratch My Back".
Hope this helps and have a great weekend buddy.

[BEAR]

Bry: Thanks, Ed, for the update on Scooter and the info about our new Dorm mates.
Rosita: Eduardito, would you or the Count like to come with us to the movies?
Telly: Yeah, join us if you like!
Bry: We'll be heading down now. The movie doesn't start for another couple hours but we are having lunch before. Anyone who wants to join can meet us there. Big Bird, Snuffy, you guys ready?
Snuffy: Yep!
Big Bird: I am!
Bry: Let's go!

[The Count]

Well... Think I got enough for a movie.
Count: But vhat about...
Hush, I'll have that taken care of. True, it'll set me back a smidge... But I can take that kind of hit.
Count: OK, if you say so.

Gracias Rosita for inviting us. Just leaving a note for wwfpooh and Jill, if they happen to come back so they'll leave a note for me as to which room they want.

[RedDragon]

<opens door> Oooo, presents!

L: I like presents...

A: Roof!

<rips open packages> Cool! SM badges!

L: Pretty...

A: Woof...

Man I wish Lisa was here...

[Katzi428]

Ahhhh...home from bowling!
Prairie:How'd you do?
Pretty good. 2 strikes in 2 games.In my opinion it's not whether you win or lose,it's how you play the game.
Prairie:That's the spirit:) .Want some fresh lemonade?
Sure *taking my shoes & socks off*
Prairie:Ewwww!!!What a horrible smell!
Very funny.:rolleyes: :p *stretching out on the couch*
*Prairie leaves the room & comes back a minute later*OK Kath...here's your lemonade. Kath?Kathy?
Zzzzzzzz.....
Prairie:*sigh* Poor thing. I'll stick this back in the fridge.

[The Count]

*Returning... That was a good movie. Good thing we did our shopping last week, and there's still a good amount of leftover burgers and ribs, and veggies. We can make a good luncheon for our friends at the dorms tomorrow afternoon.
Count: And the firevorks?
We can save those for tomorrow night.

[theprawncracker]

Me: Woo! There's gonna be a party tomorrow guys!!

Gonzo: Yeah with fireworks! I can't wait to strap myself to one!

Clifford: And barbecue! My favorite!

UD: Oh frightfully fabulous, Cantus said he'd return by tomorrow night, so if the partie's still going on, I'm sure he'll be happy to be here as well, and to provide musical entertainment.

Me: Oh good. Well, I agree with Cliff, I can't wait to get some barbecue, hopefully Ed got some chicken-

Camilla: BAWK?!

Gonzo: RYAN HOW COULD YOU?!?

Me: Umm...I...uh...Sorry *innocent look*

Camilla: Bagawk! Bawk bawk bawk!! *begins pecking the living daylights out of Ryan*

Clifford: That's gonna sting in the mornin'.

UD: *sigh* I'll get the bandages and Neosporin...Again.

[Muppet Matt]

Dr. Teeth: There's going to be a party tomorrow night!

Matt: I'll go ask Ed if he wants us to play some music. Anyone want to come with me?

Lips: I'll come!

Dr. Teeth: I'll stay here with Animal.

Animal: STAY WITH DR. TEETH!!!!!!

Matt: Ok, come on Lips!

*Goes to ask Ed about tomorrow night*

[The Count]

Huh? Well... It'll be more of an afternoon luncheon, guess it could be a BBQ. Sure, you can play music, hopefully Cantus will get here by night's end and play his lilting magic pipes also.

[RedDragon]

I'm so worried about Lisa...She's in a frelling war zone...I knew there was a reason I stopped watching the news...I hope she's alright...I miss her and I want her home safe...

L: Yeah...

A: Roof...

[Ruahnna]

Piggy: (giving Catherine a hard look) Well, well, well. Look who finally decided to rejoin her roomie? Where have you been and what have you been doing all this time?
Catherine: (sheepishly) I'm really sorry, Piggy. It's been a very busy since I got back from my trip. Did you find all the casseroles that I left for you?
Piggy: (grudgingly) Yes.
Catherine: And?
Piggy: (muttering resentfully, with her arms crossed over her chest) They were delicious.
Catherine: Oh, good--and did Chef take care of anything I forgot.
Piggy: (with decided bad grace) Yes....
(Catherine leans in and gives Piggy a peck on the cheek.) C'mon, roomie--don't be mad. I have lots of exciting things to tell you. Come in the kitchen with me--where we can, um, talk.
Piggy: (eyes lighting at the mention of kitchen) Well, okay.
Catherine: (lighting the stove and putting on the teapot) Here--let's use the real teapot--the one from England--and we'll make tea with the tea ball and the loose tea leaves.
Piggy: (dryly) Better not tell Sam the Eagle we've got "loose tea leaves" in here--he'll report us.
Catherine: (laughing) That's my roomie! Here's your tea. Be careful--it's very hot. (She peels a handful of carrots and puts them through the food processor, adds a handful of raisins and a generous dollop of plain yogurt) There--eat your salad while I make with the hot food.
Piggy: (munching happily) Did you have a good time on your trip?
Catherine: (Sighing) Oh, Piggy--it was geat. It was wonderful to be in Washington, D.C. on the nation's birthday. We got to see the Independance Day parade, and fireworks over the Washington monumnet. It was lovely, but I have to tell you I was a little nervous while the fireworks were going off. Our country has been such a target lately, it was a little sobering to see all the aircraft patroling. (Puts a plate of hot mashed potatos in front of Piggy. There are little bits of melted mozarella and American cheese sprinkled throughout.) Here--sorry they're instant. I'm not up for mashing the real thing tonight.
Piggy: No, no--this looks wonderful. (Digs in with appetite) Did you get hear the special music? Stevie Wonder was there, and--
Catherine: (ruefully) Only on the television set afterward. We watched the fireworks from the Lincoln Memorial steps, but we saw the televised special music from the Washington Monument later when we rode the Metro back to our hotel.
Piggy: (shocked) You rode the Metro? You rode public transportation?
Catherine: (sighs) Yes, Piggy. We rode publice transportation--you should try it more often. I thought the Metro was neat--we don't have any undergrounds where I live most of the time. The Metro took us everywhere we wanted to go. (Goes to tiny freezer and pulls out a small, square package from behind the ice cube trays. Opens the foil to reveal a brownie. Puts brownie in bowl, squirts a little chocolate syrup on it and places it in the microwave for a 90 seconds)
Piggy: (eyes narrowed) Is that a brownie? Where did you get it?
Catherien: Relax--it's for you. And I'm not telling you where I keep all the extras hidden. And the Metro took us to the Smithsonian, where we saw all sorts of amazing things. (Takes brownie out of microwave, puts a scoop of vanilla ice-cream on it and places it in front of Piggy. Piggy looks at it--and Catherine--adoringly.)
Piggy: You are a good roomie.
Catherine: (waving her off) Yeah, yeah. Piggy, we got to see the very first flag that was ever made for our country--it was bigger than the house of the lady who originally sewed it. And, of course, we saw dinosaurs bones and the Hope Diamond and lots of other incredible things.
Piggy: (looking up keenly) So, you did get to see the display at the Smithsonian? How did my gowns looks--did they have the lighting right?
Catherine: (sitting suddenly at the table and wrapping her hands around her tea cup) Um, Piggy--I did get to see the exhibit at the Smithsonian. It was really neat, but....
Piggy: (keenly) But?
Catherine: But...you weren't in it, and neither were the gowns and other things that you sent.
Piggy: (uncertainly) Oh. I see.
Catherine: Piggy--you remember Mr. Henson?
Piggy: Jim? Of course! He helped Kermit get his start in show business. And he was always so nice to me. Working with Jim was wonderful. (Sadly) I'm sorry he's gone.
Catherine: Me, too, Piggy. But you would have liked the display. It was--it was really a display about Jim, and all the characters whose careers he started. Rowlf was there. You know, he worked with Jim a long time before you met him.
Piggy: Yes. And Kermit--was he there, too?
Catherine: Yes--Kermit and Dr. Teeth. I'll bet you forgot that Jim helped the Electric Mayhem get their first gig.
Piggy: (smiling) And the music world was never the same...."
Catherine: That's certainly true. And there were some things there from some of Jim's other work--things he did after you worked with him on The Muppet Show. Did you know he pioneered the use of robotics and remote control devises in some of his later movies?
Piggy: I didn't know that. He was very inventive. If someone told him he couldn't do something, he never argued. He just smiled, and did it anyway. He was amazing to work with.
Catherine: (quietly) Piggy--sometimes I'm very envious of you, because you did get to work with him. It must have been, I don't know, unbelievable.
Piggy: (a little teary) It was. And he was very sweet. We would have done anything for him--anything he asked us to do, just because he believed we could.
Catherine: (gently) That sounds a lot like Kermit.
Piggy: (sniffing) Yes--they were very much alike in some ways. But he could be very philosophical too--I think that's why he worked so well with Rowlf.
Catherine: Could be. Oh--and they had some things there from the Swedish Chef's kitchen, too. Jim helped Chef get his first cooking gig--on The Muppet Show.
Piggy: And cooking shows will never be the same.
Catherine: (laughing) No, I guess not. I took some pictures, Piggy. Here are some of the ones that turned out good. (passing them over)
Piggy: Oh--I see what you mean about the display. Look--there's our dormie from Sara's room, the man who plays the banjo and looks so much like Jim. (thoughtfully) I think they might have been cousins.
Catherine: (smiling) Maybe so.
Piggy: (with a choked gasp of laughter) Oh. My. Gosh. Is that geeky guy on the end really Kermit?
Catherine: (looking over Piggy's shoulder) Yep--that's a picture of Kermit on the first television show he ever did. (teasingly) Before he got all suave and sophisticated and became a television host.
Piggy: Who are these other people?
Catherine: Well, I don't know some of these guys personally. They all used to work with Jim on the very first television show that Jim ever did. This fellow's Sam--he was the host of the show that Jim worked on.
Piggy: (looking at picture) If it was Jim's show, how come Jim wasn't the host?
Catherine: I think Jim liked to be a more behind-the-scenes kind of guy. I guess that's why he picked Kermit to be the host of The Muppet Show.
Piggy: (dreamily) He must have been grooming Kermie, even then, for greatness.
Catherine: Maybe so. This fellow here is Chicken Liver, and this guy is called Mushmellon.
Piggy: I can see why.
Catherine: That's Yorrick, in front of Kermit.
Piggy: Cute. Cute name.
Catherine: And that's Harry the Hipster.
Piggy: He looks familiar--vaguely familiar.
Catherine: Kermit looks so young--and so does Jim. But they were young, then. This is the show that gave Kermit his big break.
Piggy: Are you sure that's Kermit? He looks so...gangly.
Catherine: Adolescent growth spurt, probably.
Piggy: And what happened to his cute little neck frill?
Catherine: Oh, well, um, there was apparently a lot of discrimination against frogs in those days. I think Kermit kept his amphibian ancestry sort of quiet--just trying to blend.
Piggy: (briskly) Well, all I can say is "Viva la differance." Um--I might have to hold on to this photo.
Catherine: No problem. That one's yours. I'm going to try to figure out how to post them so I can show them to some of our dormies--but I need some technical help before I can. (Please someone help me!)
Piggy: So was there anything else you liked at the Smithsonian?
Catherine: Well--I'm still sifting everything in my head--there was so much, you know? But I really enjoyed the Presidential exhibits and some of the war exhibits. It sobering sometimes to think of what other people have given up so that we can enjoy our freedom. Those things were really good. And of course, I liked the gift shop.
Piggy: (perking up) Gift shop?
Catherine: Yes--they had some cute little Kermit dolls and some of your more recent films for sale. I bought a book about Jim. (Smiling) They also had some very lovely dolls who looked a lot like my favorite roomie.
Piggy: Ooh! Did they have the new one--the one with the dark blue dress?
Catherine: Yes--I like that one. It's a little more sophisticated than some of the other dolls they've modeled on you.
Piggy: (preening just a little) Marty thought it was a good update to my image.
Catherine: Marty has very good taste. (Sighs) Honey--I'm beat. I've got a full day ahead of me tomorrow and I've got to get over to the School of Magic before they fire me.
Piggy: (mystified) School of Magic?
Catherine: (Smiling) Don't worry about it--it's an inside joke. (shooing Piggy to bed) It's after midnight--you go on. I'm going to wash up a few dishes and fall in bed myself.

[Erine81981]

Ahhhh what a good night this has been. Staying up late and all.

Herry: Watching TV sitcoms and eatting ice cream.

Yeah. Eatting all the ice cream. What are we going to do after this?

Herry: I don't know. Watch more TV?

Sounds good to me. *channels surfs*

[The Count]

*Awake in Room #1... Good stuff in Ru's report on the exhibit... Seems it was more a tribute to Jim and Sam and Friends, and all the characters he performed. And a few little funny things too.
Wonder if she's had a chance to find the further references I planted in my story reflecting on hers. Oh well... Will probably send her a PM a bit later.

[The Count]

*Drops off four little white boxes at Room #36's doorstep. Inside, there are MC Senior Member Kermit The Frog badges for MuppetMatt and each of his roomies, their names written in silver lettering upon each of the badges' collars.

Well, well... Gotta start the grillin' and chillin' for our little BBQ later this afternoon. Sure hope there'll be more of our friends here to attend this time.

[theprawncracker]

Me: *goes outside to help Ed* Hey Ed, we're here to help with the BBQ, just let us know what you need.

Gonzo: Yeah, if you need anyone to balance the grill on his nose and cook the food while humming "Yankee Doodle," I'm your weirdo!

Clifford: And if you need anyone to do that Ed, you're completely insane...But than again what around this place isn't...

[The Count]

Thanks guys...
*To Clifford: No, I'm not insane... You must be thinking of the crazy girl who lives diagonally across from you guys... Insane A. Syllum I believe.
OK Ry... The meat's been marinated... You and Cliff take the grill and work on the meat. Camilla, if you could just sprinkle the sesame seeds into the corn mixture...
And Count, you work on setting the table by the pool while I'll prep the drinks and cole slaw.
Count: Check.

[Muppet Matt]

Matt: Hey guys look!!! SM badges!!!!!

Lips: Wow!!!

Dr. Teeth: Groovy!

Animal: THANK ED!!!!! THANK ED!!!!!

Matt: Yes, let's go thank Ed and see if there's anything we can do to help with the BBQ.

*Goes to thank Ed, ask if we can help, and set up a place to play music at the BBQ*

[The Count]

*After Matt and his roomies come downstairs... Huh? Sure, you guys can set up...
Where would it be better to have this, out in the patio or outside next to the poolhouse?

[Muppet Matt]

*After Matt and his roomies come downstairs... Huh? Sure, you guys can set up...
Where would it be better to have this, out in the patio or outside next to the poolhouse?

I think we should do it on the patio, who knows who's going to be swiming and splashing.:)

[The Count]

OK... The patio it is.
You guys can set up your equipment on the deck at the far end. The tables and chairs are propped up, the buffet table waiting for all the sides.
Frying up some French fries and cornbread that Camilla helped make. Count, you take the cole slaw and potato salads.
Count: Certainly, glad I made that potato salad last night, saved us some time.
Right... Better check how Ryan's doing at the grill out there too.

[Muppet Matt]

Matt: Ok, you guys go set up you stuff, I'll help set up the tables and stuff.

Dr: Teeth: Right!

[theprawncracker]

Me: *grilling meat; not chicken; definitely not chicken* Ooh boy Cliff, this is gonna be so much fun!

Cliff: You said it dude *flips meat with spatula*

Me: Yeah, and nothing could possibly go wrong.

Gonzo: Yeah! Espesscially now that I'm perfecting my latest stunt! *pours gasoline on grill and fire erupts from it burning the meat*

Me: ...Ed...Either we have blackened-*looks at ashes that used to be meat* Ok, I'll head back to the store and buy some more meat...Gonzo, stay here...And don't burn, maim or destroy anything while I'm gone. You comin' Cliff?

Cliff: You bet dude, let's do it!

*Ryan and Cliff head off to the grocery store*

[Katzi428]

*coming to the BBQ with fruit ambrosia* Hey everyone! Hope you all will like this.It was kind of hot for Prairie & I to bake.So this is our contribution to the barbecue.
Prairie:It's tasty.It has canned fruit & mini marshmallows.
*taking off my beach robe *Whew!It's hot out! Good thing I decided to put my suit on. By the way.....anyone who yrells "WHALE IN THE POOL!!" or anything of that kind gets thrown in the pool! I may look nice & sweet,but you all know my temper by now.
Prairie:And she means it too!:eek: I've been exposed to Kathy's temper more times than I can handle,thank you very much. Kath...pass the sunscreen please?
Yep...you got it. I'd like to use it after you please.
Prairie:*putting sunscreen all over*Sounds good. I don't want to look like a lobster so I need to put plenty on..
Same here.

[The Count]

Hey Ry! No need man... Got some more meat back in the common room kitchen sinks marinating.
Heh, good thing I planned ahead. If Gonzo gets out of line like that again, then tell him he won't get to get strapped to the fireworks later tonight.

*Gets second batch of bat-shaped meat patties, BBQ ribs dowsed in a cola mixture, and some assorted fruits like peaches and plums for the grill.
This? Oh the fruits are for the ice cream dessert. Did you remember to ask Uncle Deadly...
Count: Yes... He said he'd take care of it earlier this morning.
Good, I do so love some Adam's apple pie or mummy merangue.

Guess the fries are done... Better start making the garlic mayo for the hush puppy fritters as well for the burgers and fries.

[theprawncracker]

Me: Oh, ok, I'll get the meat cooking again. *starts the grill*

UD: Hey Ryan! I have the pies, and someone here to play tonight.

Cantus: Hello my friend, I'm ready to begin playing whenver you're ready.

Me: Hey Cantus! Great! Um, you'll have to talk to Ed about playing. Glad to have you back bud.

Cantus: Thank you my friend, it is good to be back. *goes to find Ed*

[The Count]

*Feels presence... Who's... Oh hi Cantus. Sure thing, just go over to the Mayhem and sit in with the band. Me thinks their melodious melifluous harmonies are wafting through the mellow breeze.
Heh, sorry, been hangin' with Dr. Teeth a bit.

OK, let's see... We got the cole slaw and potato salad.
Count: Check.
Fries and hush puppy fritters.
Count: Check.
Cornbread and garlic toast breadsticks.
Count: Check.
Garlic mayonnaise, veggies for burger toppings, and the tumblers with iced tea set up.
Count: Check.
Did you bring the cooler with sodas if someone wants something to drink?
Count: Yes, and there's also a jar with your famed Caribbean Cooler punch.
Oh good.

OK... What about dessert.
Count: Uncle Deadly just brought the pies, the ice cream's softening on the kitchen counter, and the fruits are grilling vith the meat and a few weggies.
Good. Then come on, all we've got left is this gorgeous chopped pineapple for the creamed fruit plate, and a batch of chocolate chip and coconut cookies.
Count: Ah ha! Vonderful, the barbecue's almost ready to begin!

[Muppet Matt]

Dr. Teeth: Hey look, who's coming! Over here Cantus!

[BEAR]

(walking out to the patio)
Bry: Hey, everyone. Hope we're not too late.
Rosita: (holding a plate) I brought some tacos we made!
Big Bird: And birdseed cookies!
Telly: (sees band set up on stage) Ooh music! Where's Hoots?
Bry: Well, it's the afternoon, so this is usually the time he sleeps. Maybe he'll find us out here later.
Telly: No problem! I'll go get my tuba. I'll be right back. (slides out and immediately returns wearing tuba.) Okay, where would you like me?
Snuffy: (laughs) Dohoho.

[Muppet Matt]

Matt: How about over there with Lips, we'll have all the horns there. I'll go get my guitar.

Lips: Come on over Telly!

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Hey guys, let's go to the BBQ!
Red: Robin? You want to race?
Robin: Sure!
Mokey: Kay, be careful guys. On your mark, get set, go!
*Robin and Red run off towards the BBQ*
Rowlf: Such energy those young ones have
Beth: Yeah, I never was much for running even at Robin's age!
Mokey: Well, let's hurry up behind them so we don't miss out!

[The Count]

Hey Bry... Glad you made it. Wonder if Kath and Prairie will get here too.
*Notices two blurs whiz/hop past... Huh? Oh, Red and Robin. Beth, it's good to have you up here at the party. Rowlf, if you want, you can set up with the band or help Ryan at the grill. Think the meat's almost done.

Just set the tacos there next to the vegetable burger toppings... They cooked really well. Set the birdseed cookies next to the coconut choc chip ones BB.

OK... The bottle of BBQ sauce goes here... And the dish of corn-on-the-cob goes here...

OK... The BBQ's ready, everybody dig in! Electric Mayhem, that's your cue to start the music. Don't worry, we'll save you some food for when you take your brakes.

[Muppet Matt]

Dr. Teeth: A one, two, a one two three four!

Lips: Maybe this will wake Hoots up! Haha!

Animal: BEAT DRUMS!!!!!

Ed, do you know where the rest of the EM and Nicole have been? We need them

[BEAR]

Bry: Prairie and Kathy are here, Ed. They just brought some fruit salad stuff. By the way, I have something for you to post if you don't mind. It looks like 2 of the spots in Muppet Survivor will need to be replaced. I know that Kyle expressed interest in representing a Muppet, but we need one more. Seems Janice and Droop are unable to carry out their contracts. Thanks.

[Katzi428]

Yep Ed...we arrived awhile ago
*coming to the BBQ with fruit ambrosia* Hey everyone! Hope you all will like this.It was kind of hot for Prairie & I to bake.So this is our contribution to the barbecue.
Prairie:It's tasty.It has canned fruit & mini marshmallows.
*taking off my beach robe *Whew!It's hot out! Good thing I decided to put my suit on. By the way.....anyone who yrells "WHALE IN THE POOL!!" or anything of that kind gets thrown in the pool! I may look nice & sweet,but you all know my temper by now.

Prairie:*putting sunscreen all over*Sounds good. I don't want to look like a lobster so I need to put plenty on..
Same here.

[The Count]

Nah man... They've been pretty much AWOL for the summer. Shame really, guess we'll have to pull out the ol' nagging sticks if we want her to come out of hiding and post more... story, that is.
But if you got a song to sing, and you need the rest of the Mayhem, then go for it man.

[RedDragon]

<stretches and gets up from computer> Well I've finally posted a description of Mairin in MopFam. It is no longer a mystery what she looks like.

L: Oh good...

Well I'm proud of myself...It's all in a days work...

[theprawncracker]

Me: *finally done barbecuein'; runs upstairs to Nyssa's room* C'mon Nyz! It's barbecue time! Don't sit up here mopin' til Lisa gets back! Let's go! *drags Mairin to the barbecue*

*Meanwhile...*

Cantus: *finishes song with the EM* Mm, that was good and bad. Bad and good. Mmm, let's play another song.

Clifford: *eating BBQ* Yum, gotta love this BBQ baby!

Gonzo: *inspecting BBQ table* Ok honey, it's all clear, no chicken at all!

Camilla: Bawk bawk.

[Erine81981]

*watching TV and humming*

Grover: I'm home!

Herry: Did you get my messages?

Grover: Yeah. I got it. Thanks.

Herry: Welcome.

Hey Grover. How was work?

Grover: Hi Kyle. Busy and not so busy.

Cookie M: *opens door and closes*

Where is Cookie Monster going?

Herry: He's been helping Oscar with something.

What could that be? Oscar hates to be disturbed.

Grover: I will go see what he is doing.

[The Count]

Sorry guys... Few ziffles I didn't spot fright away. Prairie and Kathy... The fruits were good. Fed the marshmallows to some of the bats, they like those more than I do. And now that the outside lights are on, I think it's OK to bring out the ice cream.
See, we have a dessert back in my home we call "frutas nevada" or "snowed fruits". Basically, it's fresh or canned fruit with a bit of cream covering the entire mix.
*Scoops vanilla ice cream onto the long-cooled peaches, plums, and pineapple pieces.

Mmm, Ryan, you did a good job on the grill. The ribs were superb, good and messy with the BBQ sauce. Think I'll grab some French fries and make myself a bat-burger.

Count: I'll get that for you, you go get Kyle.
Oh fright.

*Hollering back inside: Hey Kyle... Food's served, come out here and get in on the BBQ.
Hmmm, hope the others are having a good time. Will wait a little bit longer until strapping Gonzo for the finale.

[theprawncracker]

Gonzo: *popping up by Ed* Oh boy! I can't wait! When's that finale coming anyway?

Me: Be patient Gonzo...Wait...You've never been patient before have you? *shakes head* Anyway, thanks for the BBQ compliment Ed. Glad you liked it.

[Fuzzhead]

*Fuzzhead and Jen arrive*
Hey, everybody who's still around. Sorry I'm a bit late. I couldn't get here for a while. Anyway, I just wanted to say hi. Everything looks great.

[redBoobergurl]

Robin: This sure is a fun barbeque!
Rowlf: It is indeed.
Red: I don't think I could eat another bite
Mokey: I know what you mean, I'm stuffed!
Beth: There certainly is alot of food here!

[The Count]

Hi Fuzzhead... Help yourself to some food, plenty to go around.

*In chair, piling fries onto the meat patty...
Well Gonzo, you wanna go on the regular fireworks? Or you want a ride on either of the two special ones?

*Closing top bun that has some garlic mayo on it, along with the veggies.
Mmm, just the way I like em. Good thing I got a big glass of tea and some cole slaw in the bowl.

[theprawncracker]

Gonzo: Hey Ed! Hmm, I guess I'll take one of the special ones. Camilla, where's my parachute?!

*Meanwhile...*

Me: Hey Robin, Rowlf, Red, Mokey, Beth, how're you guys doin'? We haven't talked in awhile.

Cantus: *walks in* Ahh, hello again my Fraggly friends. I just wanted to come by and thank you again for letting me room with you while Ryan here was out and about doing who knows what, for he usually does who knows what.

Me: Thanks Cantus...And yeah, thank you again Beth. Hey Mokey, you wanna dance? *to Beth* I'd dance with you but I don't wanna impose on your husband. *winks*

[Fuzzhead]

Fuzzhead: Thanks, Ed. I think I might grab a burger if there are any. How about you, Jen? See anything you like?
Jen: Well, maybe some vegetables. Or some fruit. Do they have any parsnips?
Fuzzhead: I don't think so. *chuckles*

[tvlistingman]

(6pm)

PETER: Elmo, Zoe, Little Bird are you ready for the barbecue

ELMO: Yes!, have the hot dogs

LITTLE BIRD: Got the Birdseed Pudding

ZOE: and Got the Watermelon!!!

[The Count]

Sure... There are some bat-burgers left... And you can serve your friend here some of the salads, or just pile the grilled veggies with condiments on one of the burger buns.

OK Gonzo, just let me finish my dessert... *Digging into piece of a la mode mummy merangue pie.

[Fuzzhead]

Fuzzhead: That burger was delicious. How was the salad?
Jen: The salad was very good.
Fuzzhead: You know, Jen, this would be a great time to get to know everyone.
Jen: Yes, it would.
Fuzzhead: Do you want to go say hi?
Jen: Well, I'm a bit nervous.
Fuzzhead: So am I, but I'm sure everyone is cool. Come on.

*Fuzzhead and Jen walk around introducing themselves to everyone*

[theprawncracker]

Me: Hi Jen, hi Fuzzhead, I'm Ryan, and these are my roomies over here, Clifford, Uncle Deadly, Camilla, Cantus, and Gonzo the Great.

Clifford: Yo!

UD: Frightfully delightful to meet you both.

Camilla: Bawk buck buck bawk!

Cantus: Hello there, if you ever need a song, just let me know.

Me: Hey...Where's Gonzo?

*Meanwhile...*

Gonzo: *strapped to a firework* Alright Ed! Light me!!

[RedDragon]

<walks down to BBQ> Sorry MC crashed for me and I had a few things I wanted to post before coming down...so how is everyone doing?

[theprawncracker]

Me: Hey Nyz, I'm doin' great. You still hanging in there? Um, hold on, I think the fireworks are about to start and Gonzo's strapped on...

[The Count]

*Finishing piece of pie, and glass of milk...

OK Gonzo, here we go!

*Fireworks start flying off into the night sky.
Ladies and gentlemen, Muppets of all kinds, may I direct your attention to the center sky.
*Gonzo's screams of delight can be heard, along with the announcer's voice as the weirdo's rocket keeps spouting blueish and reddened and purplish sparks in the shape of...
The Muppet College Dorms have been brought to you by the letters...
*Fireworks bloom into each letter in the colors as they're called out.
A! B! C! D! E! F! G! H! I! J! K! L! M! N! O! P! Q! R! S! T! U! V! W! X! Y! And Z!

*Second rocket flies upwards, emitting whitened and lighter neon orange sparks in the shapes of...
And by the numbers...
Fireworks form each number in these colors as they're called out.

Count: So bootiful... I could just stare at those numbers all ewening, almost ghostly luminescent.

[theprawncracker]

Gonzo: *parachuting down; charred* Wha ha ha! That was the COOLEST thing I've ever done! Ed you so totally rock! Whoopie!

Me: Thanks Ed...You've fulfilled his weirdo...er...Desire I suppose... Goodnight ev'rybody!

[Fuzzhead]

Fuzzhead *wide eyed* Wow! Those are amazing.
Jen: *clapping* Very exciting!

[RedDragon]

Pretty! <claps loudly>

[Fuzzhead]

Jen: What was that thing strapped to the rocket?
Fuzzhead: I don't know what he is, but he's crazy.
Jen: Yeah. Looks like he's missing some hair.
Fuzzhead: Welll, that was certainly fun. I wonder if they do this all the time.
Jen: I hope so.

[The Count]

Thanks guys... Glad you liked them. Ryan, just make sure Gonzo gets all that ash washed out of his fur, though it was nice to have him enjoy himself.
*Taking a cookie from tray. OK, I'll stay out here with my friend the Count here, counting the stars... Maybe some others residents will pop out. If not, then we'll probably start cleaning up and packing the leftovers in containers.

[Fuzzhead]

Fuzzhead: Thanks for the food and the show, Ed. It was great.
Jen: Yes, Thank you.
Fuzzhead: So, Jen, do you think we should be getting back to our room?
Jen: That sounds like a good idea. I'm a bit tired.
Fuzzhead: Me too. Plus, I don't like to leave Fizzgig alone too much.
Fuzzhead: Goodnight, everybody.
Jen: Goodnight.

*Fuzzhead and Jen head toward room #9*

Jen: That yellow guy we met tonight. What was his name?
Fuzzhead: I think it was Cantus.
Jen; Yes, that's it. He mentioned a song.
Fuzzhead: Yeah, I think he did.
Jen: Well, I have my pipe. Maybe we could play together sometime.
Fuzzhead: Maybe. You'll have to ask him.

*They arrive at the room and enter. One of the large beanbag chairs is torn open, and foam beads are scattered around the room. Fizzgig is hiding in the closet*

Fuzzhead: Oh, no.
Jen: Fizzgig!
Fuzzhead: That'll teach us to leave him alone all day. Let's get this stuff cleaned up, then get some sleep.

[The Count]

*Outside... Hey Count, did you hear...
Count: Banjo music?
Yes. Seems to be coming from...
*Bat squeaking in our ear.
Far corner of the second floor.
You don't suppose...
Count: Sara and Scooter are back?
Mmmhm. Hope she had a great time at Myrtle Beach. Should bring her some of this food, not sure our cole slaw's as good as hers...
Count: It'll be fine.
Yeah, you're fright. Will leave it with some plastic wrap for her and Scooter to share in the common room's fridge. The Trio'll probably get some leftovers too...
Count: Of course they vill... This is some great food we made.
OK, help me clean up then buddy.
*We set to work putting food away, cleaning the area of any messes.

Have a good night everybody.

[Erine81981]

That was an awsome fireworks display.

Grover: I enjoyed it. I loved the batburgers that Ed and The Count made.

Herry: Cookie Monster couldn't get enough of them. Look!

Cookie M: One hundred forty batburger. These are so good. Me can't hardly eat any more. *URP!* Excuse me.
Oh what a monster he is.

Everyone starts to laugh

[Katzi428]

Prairie:Oooohhhh boy am I full!
Yeah...me too!I can barely move!
Prairie: But you gotta admit it was good food ,right?
Definitely!*BURP* Oh sheesh...excuse me!:o
Prairie:*laughing* It's OK...it could've been a stinker & come out the other end!;)
PRAIRIE!!*but laughing too* Come to think of it you're right.Well...I'm going to bed.
Prairie:Nite roomie.
Nite...sweet dreams!
Gaffer:Meow...purrrrrrrr
Nite sweet Gaffer.

[BEAR]

Big Bird: What a great party!
Bry: It was. And I'm so glad those special fireworks I gave Ed were put to good use tonight too.
Telly: You gave those to Ed?
Bry: Yeah. They were originally meant for the Fourth of July, but it was better they were used for this special party.
Rosita: They were wonderful!
Big Bird: Yeah. I mean, how often does the Letter of the Day get to be "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ!"
Bry: Well, I'm exhausted. I'll be getting ready for bed now.

[Ruahnna]

Catherine: Great picnic, huh Piggy? Oh--here are those photos I was showing you the other day. Maybe some of our dormies would like to see them, too.

[The Count]

Rully glad Bryan liked the fireworks, knew he of all people here would know what it was I was planning/referencing.
Hmm, looks like Cath got and read through that message I sent her... Good thing too, she's tacked some pics up on the bulletin board for all to see.
Well, I'm off to get some cereal and start the day.

[The Count]

*Knocking on Room #22's door. Hey Sara... You OK? Just wanted to see if you had fun on your mini-vacation. Also wanted to greet you and Scooter back home here at the dorms. There's some food in the fridge from yesterday's BBQ if you want any... Oh, and I sent you a message last night.
Just checkin'... See you around.

Bry: Okay. Have fun, guys!
Telly: What are we having for dinner?
Bry: Well...since Snuffy is going out for spaghetti, what do you say we all have our own favorites for dinner tonight?
Telly: Really? You mean in stead of us all agreeing on one meal, we get to pick our own?
Bry: That's what I said. What'll y'all have?
Telly: Pizza for me! Sliced into beautiful triangular pieces.
Rosita: Taco salad sounds good to me.
Bry: Okay. How about you, Big Bird?
Big Bird: Hmmm...I don't know. Maybe just a bowl of Birdseed Crispies. I'm in the mood for something light.
Bry: Hoots?
Hoots: Make that two bowls. I don't want to be weighed down to too much before my gig tonight at the club.
Bry: Alright! And for me...I'm gonna order up a Cabo chicken club from Quiznos. Yum! You all just hang out and watch some TV while I get your dinners ordered up.

[RedDragon]

<sitting in pasta restaurant> Two heaping plates of spaghetti, please <waiting for spaghetti> *To Snuffy* My mom once told me you started out on SS as Big Bird's imaginary friend and no one believed you really exsisted...

Cashier: 17 our order's up!

[BEAR]

Bry: I'm glad Snuffy had a good time at his spaghetti dinner with Nyssa.
Hoots: What are you doing up so late?
Bry: Well, I was hoping to find one more for the Muppet Survivor game. So far we have nine, but need ten.
Hoots: May I?
Bry: Be my guest.
Hoots: The Muppet Dorms were brought to us today by the Number 9 and by the Letter S.
Bry: For Snuffy, spaghetti and survivor.
Hoots: That's right!

How about some nice cold lemonade?
Prairie:Ahh...yes, I'd love some!
Good..go get me some while you're at it.
Prairie:Kathyyyy!!! That's not even funny!
I'm just kidding,Prairie.;) Sit & relax. *going into the kitchen & fixing Prairie & myself some lemonade with plenty of ice cubes* OK...back...*handing her a glass of lemonade*
Prairie:Ahhh...thanks Kath!You're an angel!
You're welcome.*putting on the overhead fan* I just wish that Biff & Sully had made the air conditioning cooler.
Prairie:Yeah...me too. But better be careful what you wish for.Last year they had the A/C so low that the whole building was freezing!Remember?
Oh geez...do I ever!

[theprawncracker]

Me: Uncle Deadly!! Your turn!

Red: Well that sounds fun
Beth: I'm sure it will be. You guys are welcome to go if you'd like
Red: Really?
Mokey: Yeah!
Robin: Can I actually go?
Beth: Well, it'll be a little past your bedtime when we get home, but since it's summer and you can sleep in, I think it would be all right, but you have to listen to everything we say when we're there
Robin: Oh boy!
Rowlf: I'll help keep an eye on him, I usually do
Beth: Thanks Rowlf. Well, let's get ready everyone!

[Erine81981]

Cookie M: Hi Kyle.

Hi Cookie Monster. How you doing?

Cookie M: Well to tell you the truth Kyle. Me fell good and me feel bad.

Well whys that?

Cookie M: Well me feel bad because me no got cookies. But me feel good because me got me. And me not so bad. *starts singing*
Me! Everything I am is me!
The best thing I can be is
Me in my mirror
Me in my bed!
Me in the pictures I make in my head
Me!
What a thing to be is me
Utterly delicous!
And since there's no choice I am sure I and me agree!
There's nobody better, smarter, nicer, sweeter ...
Don't you see ... than me!!

(music continues)

Well I feel exactly the same. I'm going to sing it the way Rosita taught me. In spanish.

Yo! (Cookie Monster: Me!) Todo lo que soy es yo! (Cookie Monster: Me!)
Yo—mi reflejo, yo en el espejo,
Yo en mi sueno (Cookie Monster: Yeah!)
Yo soy, (Cookie Monster: Heh!) la duena de todo, soy yo. (Cookie Monster: Everywhere!)

Yo! (Cookie Monster: Yeah!) Lo que quiero ser es, Yo! (Cookie Monster: Me!)
Guapa y formidable! (Cookie Monster: Mmm)
Y tan buena hermosa que
Estaras do acuerdo (Cookie Monster: Yeah!)
No hay nadie mas
Guapa y carinosa
No hay nadie como yo. (Cookie Monster: Me! *laughs*)

(music ends)

Cookie M: Well Kyle. Me got me and you got you but we no got cookies.

Well as a matter of fact Cookie Monster. Yo tenga galletas.

Cookie M: Wha..?

Yo tenga galletas. That means I have cookies.

Cookie M: *gasp* Cookie?! Galletas! Cookies! *starts muching down* Galletas! Cookies! Galletas! Galletas! Cookies! *still eatting cookies*

[The Count]

*Hearing Kyle's song... Hey Kyle... That was a nice song.
But you do realize that you sang that bit in Spanish about yourself right? Cause if you do know that... You made yourself a girl when refering to yourself when singing that part.
Should go back over it and check... *PM or LMK if you want help correcting it.
*Walks off... Hmmm, wonder if Muppet Survivor will have a new episode on tonight. Heard there was someone new joining the cast, but hasn't shown up yet.

[BEAR]

*Hearing Kyle's song... Hey Kyle... That was a nice song.
But you do realize that you sang that bit in Spanish about yourself right? Cause if you do know that... You made yourself a girl when refering to yourself when singing that part.

Rosita: Well, he did learn the song from me. Maybe he got confused.

[The Count]

Yeah... That might be the case Rosita...

*Chuckles a bit at Bryan's posting style lately... But in a good sort of way.
No worries mahn... Is all good, see you next week... If Uncle Deadly doesn't get here first.
*Leaves with a bit of maniacal laughter, as strong thunderbolt can be heard outside.

[BEAR]

Hoots: (at the window) Hey, Telly. The bands here for a little moonlight jam. Ya wanna sing something?
Telly: (Sitting on his bed, sad) Oh I dunno...
Hoots: Okay...
Bry: (coming in the door) Hey, Telly.
Telly: *sigh* Hmrmgrm...
Bry: Was that English? Telly, what's up?
Telly: Oh, I'm just sad.
Bry: (sits by Telly) Why? What's wrong?
Telly: What isn't wrong?
Bry: Huh? (looks up and sees the evening news on the television) Oh...
Telly: It's all over and you can't get away from it!
Bry: Makes you sad, huh?
Telly: And mad! I just don't get it. Why does the world have to be like this?
Bry: Well, I understand.
Telly: You do?
Bry: Sure. There are days when I feel exactly the same way you do. Today I did.
Telly: Really?
Bry: Uh huh.

(start to sing as the band freely plays chords underneath)
Live at Five and CNN keep us all abreast
Of breaking stories that can tend to make us anxious and depressed.
Problems with no answers hang on like some nagging cough,
And ev'ry day some brand new "issue" rears its head to tick you off.

(band picks up with a slow swingy feel)

Telly: (sings) Bad guys win, optimism's wearing thin.
Things are spinning out of control.
Cynicisms all the fad.
World events can make us mad as hatters.
Almost ev'ry day some underpinning slips away.
These aren't laughing matters.

Bry: Time bombs tick, people keep on getting sick,
And a nickles not worth a cent.
Telly: (spoken) I'll say.
Bry: Wickedness and greed abound;
Just as peace is gaining ground it shatters.
Hate is here to stay and justice goes to those who pay.
Telly: (spoken) Is that supposed to make me feel better?
Bry: These aren't laughing matters.

The truth is scarier by far
Than anything that Stephen King could write.
The stories in the paper are
A daily small decline and fall spelled out in black and white.

Telly: (sings) What to do?
How to take a brighter view
When your noodle's totally fried?
Bry: Human spirits need to be leavened by some levity...
So take those blues and bounce them off the wall.
Keep your humor, please.
'Cause don't you know, it's times like these
Both: That laughing matters most of all.
(music ends)

Bry: So really, I've learned you have to try and keep up your sense of humor as much as you can. Because with all the scariness going on in the world, you have to remember all the beautiful wonderful things too. Its really the only healthy way to keep on living. And most importantly...you always have your friends to help you through.
Telly: Gee, thanks, Bry! (hugs me)
Bry: No problem! Now what do you say we get some ice cream?
Telly: That's one beautiful thing that never fails to bring a smile to this monster's face!
Bry: I'll go get the others. Hoots, you guys coming?
Hoots: You payin'?
Bry: Why not!
Hoots: Now that brings a smile to my face! Hehehe!

[Erine81981]

It's fine Ed. Like Rostia said. She taught me but didn't really teach me how to say guy in spainsh. So yes I did know. Thanks anyways Ed.

Grover: I heard you and Cookie Monster sang one of my songs.

Yep. But I messed up by repeating what Rostia said in my part of the song. But oh well. I was thinking guys. Would ya'll like to do some singing tonight?

Herry: That would sound terrific.

Cookie M: Oh boy another song.

Hold on just a second. *goes out into the hallway* Hey Bryan? Can me and Hoots and the band do a little number?

[BEAR]

Bry: Sure, Kyle. No problem. Hey, Hoots! Kyle needs you in his room.
Hoots: Another gig! Come on, guys, let's get to gettin'!

[Erine81981]

Ok. Everyone were going to be playing this little diddy out in the hallway. Got it?

*mutters are heard*

We got Hoots and Herry Monster on the sax,
(Hoots and Herry both yell)
Me and Dip Cat on the drums,
(We both play our drums a little)
Grover and Chip Cat on bass,
(Grover and Chip play a little on their bass guitars) Leo Birdelli on trumpet (plays a note on her trumpet) and last but not least....Mr. Dog and Cookie Monster on piano and keybord. (both yell too) Are ya'll ready to rock?!

Everyone: YEAH!

Then let's kick it!

(Everyone starts jamming out to Jive Bunny with all the old song mixed)

(Saxes and trumpet at the beginning of the song)

Chip and Dip: One, two, three o'clock, four o'clock rock
Five, six, seven o'clock, eight o'clock rock
Nine, ten, eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock rock

Everyone: We're gonna rock around the clock tonight

Chip and Dip: Put your glad rags on, join me, Hon
We'll have some fun when the clock strikes one
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight

Everyone: We're gonna rock, rock, rock, 'til broad daylight
Gonna rock, gonna rock around the clock tonight

Grover: Rock rock rock everybody
Roll roll roll roll everybody
Rock rock rock rock everybody
Roll roll roll roll everybody
Rock rock rock rock everybody
Rock it to the cool with me

(little funny nosies are made inbetween)

Hoots and Cookie Monster: Wake up little Susie, wake up
Wake up little Susie, wake up
We've both been sound asleep
Wake up little Susie and weep
The movie's over, it's four o'clock
And we're in trouble deep
Wake up little Susie, wake up little Susie
We gotta go home

(a bird coos in the background of this part inbetween)

Mr. Dog: You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
Well you ain't ever caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine

(Drum solo for Me and Dip)

Everyone: Shake, shake, shake, shake, rattle And roll.
I said Shake Rattle And Roll.
I said Shake Rattle And Roll.
I said Shake Rattle And Roll.

Cookie Monster and Grover: A well I bless my soul
What’s wrong with me?
I’m itching like a man on a fuzzy tree
My friends say I’m actin’ wild as a bug
I’m in love
I’m all shook up

Herry and Hoots: The warden threw a party in the county jail.
The prison band was there and they began to wail.
The band was jumpin’ and the joint began to swing.
You should’ve heard those knocked out jailbirds sing.
Let’s rock, everybody, let’s rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin’ to the jailhouse rock

(Keybord and Piano start up)

Mr.Dog and Cookie Monster: Bah-bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-bah-bah
Bah-bah-bah-bah. bah-bah-bah-bah, at the hop! Hop! Hop! Hop! Hop!

(music starts up again like at the start)

(Hoots, Herry and Leo Birdelli end with a horn blazing note)

[BEAR]

Hoots: Woo! That was smokin'. Okay, everybody! Take five!
Cookie: (holding up a number 5) Where shall me take it?
Everyone: Cookie!
Cookie: Ha ha ha!
Hoots: Well, on that note--
(is interupted by Birdelli blowin a G note on his horn and, oddly enough, an animated G floats out)
Hoots: (doing a double-take) Was that the letter of the day?
(laughs from the band)
Hoots: Oh man. You guys are too much.








(ooc: hope its okay I used Cookie for that bit, Kyle)

[The Count]

Ah... Another day at MC Dorms... Well, had my bowl of cereal and I'm all washed up...

Scooter: *Gets up and changes the DVD out to the right one* There we go.

*Upstairs in Floor 2's hallway... Knock-knock... Sara, you OK in there? Anything you need? I'll be over in the common room reading... The Count's already there with Uncle Deadly, Gonzo, Camilla, and Cantus. Can send the books with Scooter if you want. Hope you'll be all right.

Bry: Okay. Well, I will ask Beth if she has any room. What about you guys? Ryan or Kyle?
Big Bird: It would be fun to play with Camilla again. She's such a nice chicken.
Snuffy: Hey, yeah! And Ryan has that new story he's writing. Maybe we can get some sneak peaks.
Bry: Alright. Just remember, Snuffy, you might not be able to actually go in Ryan's room. You are pretty big and his room might be a bit small for you. You wouldn't want to break anything.
Snuffy: Are you kidding? From what I hear, things break all the time in there! Dohohoh!
Bry: That's true.
Snuffy: But if I have to, I don't mind staying here in my caveroom.
Bry: Well that can be up to you and Ryan to decide. I'll even leave him a key to our room so that he can come here if he wants. Looks like that's done. Is that all okay with you, Telly?
Telly: Are you kidding? I don't need a babysitter. That's kid stuff.
Bry: If you say so...(continues packing)
Telly: Of course...it would be nice to have someone to cut my sandwiches into triangles...and put a band-aid on my knee when I fall off my pogostick...and tuck me in at night and read me stories--
Bry: I'll call Kyle.
Telly: Oh bless you!
Big Bird: Hey, what about Hoots?
Bry: I think he'll be okay on his own. Maybe he'll go down and chill with Ed or jam with the Electric Mayhem or something. If he needs anyone, he'll go to them and if anyone needs him, they know where to go. Okay, let me make these calls to Beth, Ryan and Kyle. Gosh, I hope it's not too late. (makes series of calls asking for Beth to watch Rosita, Ryan to watch Snuffy and Big Bird, and Kyle to take in Telly).

[The Count]

*The Count, at the bat-organ, singing quietly...
Go to sleep, my little bat
Oh, say good night to your black cat
Do not put on your nightgown
You'll be sleeping upside down

Go to sleep my little goblin
While your cradle is a wobblin'
I will sit and count your snoring
Even though you think it's boring


Me, unseen: The dorms were brought to you by the letter Z...
*Bats heard snoring: Zzzzzz...
And by the number 9... *Aside: Since I hit the 9,000 post mark a while back.
Good night, and Count Up to 9, it'll help you get to sleep.

Count, in bed, falling asleep: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9... Count Up to zzzzz...

[Erine81981]

*on the phone with Bryan* That will be just fine. Me and Telly and the gang always have fun. Can't wait. I'll the let the others know in the morning. Good night Bryan. *hangs up phone* Won't the monsters be thrilled. Oh and Oscar too. Can't wait. *goes back to watching TV*

[BEAR]

Bry: (hangs up phone) Well, I'll be leaving early in the morning, so I dunno if I'll get to say goodbye to you guys, so I'll do it now. (going around the room giving each roomie a hug) Snuffy, I will leave a key at the front desk for Ryan incase he needs to come here. (hugs Snuffy snuffle which is wrapped around me in a hug.)
Snuffy: Okay.
Bry: And remember, when doing a cannon ball in the pool, make sure everyone else is out first. Of course, Gonzo might enjoy that.
Snuffy: Dohohoho! I'll try.
Bry: (goes over to Big Bird, who is holding Radar) Big Bird, I know you'll be fine.
Big Bird: Sure!
Bry: You know where the birdseed is kept. Bottom cupboard by the fridge. And I wrote out the recipe for your birdseed milkshakes and put it next to the blender just incase Ryan forgot.
Big Bird: Thanks. We'll miss ya.
Bry: (hugs Big Bird and strokes his beak) I'll miss you too. (makes way over to Rosita's bed) Buenas noches, mi amiga. Have fun staying at Beth's.
Rosita: I'm bringing my guitar so I can play some music with Rowlf.
Bry: Good! (hugs Rosita; she kisses me on the cheek) Sweet dreams.
Rosita: Gracias.
Bry: (going to Telly) I see your stuff is all packed too.
Telly: Yeah, even Chucky Sue is ready. I hope she has enough food to last til Sunday.
Bry: Don't worry. I have an emergency supply. I'll put it in your bag.
Telly: Always thinking ahead, aren't ya?
Bry: Hey, living in this mad house, I have to.
Telly: True.
Bry: (hugging Telly) You'll have a blast with your monster buddies.
Telly: Looking forward to it!
Bry: Well, goodnight, everyone. See you on Sunday.
(all go to sleep)

[redBoobergurl]

Red: I'm so excited Rosita is coming to see us again!
Mokey: We haven't hung out with her in a long time
Robin: Do you think she can teach me some Spanish?
Beth: I'm sure she can. *hears a knock at the door* I'll bet that's her now. *opens door* Hola Rosita!
Rosita: Hola! Gracias for letting me stay here again!
Beth: Anytime!
Rowlf: Glad to see you brought your guitar, we can jam later
Rosita: That will be great!
Robin: Will you teach me some Spanish?
Rosita: Sure, let's start with an easy one. Amigo.
Robin: Am-i-go?
Rosita: Si, it means friend!
Robin: Oh neat! You are my amigo!
Rosita: And you are my amigo too.

[theprawncracker]

Me: Hey guys, I'm gonna head over to Bryan's room and check on Snuffy and Big Bird, you guys wanna come?

UD: I believe I'm the only one awake my fiend, but sure, I'll come along.

Me: Alright, come on, we gotta head down to the front desk and grab the key to Bry's room first. *heads to front desk and grabs key, and then back to Bryan's room; unlocks door* Big Bird? Snuffy? You guys up yet?

Big Bird: Ryan! Hi! I'd like a birdseed milkshake and I want to go swimming and say my ABC's and-

Me: Whoa, whoa, Big slow down! I just got here, but uh, I geuss I could make you a birdseed shake. *grabs birdseedd and ice cream and stuff* Where's Snuffy?

Big Bird: Oh, he's still sound asleep, he should be awake soon.

Stinky the Stinkweed: Hey! Someone forgot to water me again!

Me: Oh good grief, Uncle D. could you-

UD: No problem Ryan. *grabs waterring can and waters Stinky*

Stinky: Oh, that feels so good! Thank you sir!

Me: Okay Big Bird, here's your milkshake, enjoy! *hands Big Bird birdseed milkshake*

Big Bird: Thanks Ryan! *drinks milkshake*

[The Count]

*Bats drop off a large package...
Count: Hey Eduardo...
Yeah, what is it?
Count: There's a box here for you.
Rully? Didn't think the mail'd get here this early. Where/who's it from?
Count: Greg and Maria from Houston...

Wha?!? No!
*Opens package retrieving two prized additions.
Wah ha ha ha!! They got here! And I thought...
Oh, these'll go so great with the rest of the guys. *Waits till later to open 'em up and check out all the stuff.

[theprawncracker]

Me: Ok Uncle D., are you sure you can check up on Big Bird and Snuffy for me tomorrow?

UD: Possitive my friend, you go off and have fun.

Me: Thanks Uncle D., and uh...You wouldn't mind to do it just on Saturday too would ya? I think I'll be back...But I'm not sure.

UD: No problem, just go. We've waited longer. *winks*

Gonzo: Yeah MUCH longer!

Me: Gonzo...

Gonzo: It's true!

Clifford: Lay off dude, he's just a busy guy.

Cantus: Very busy as I've come to see.

Gonzo: No kidding!

Me: See you guys later...

[Katzi428]

*dreamy sigh*
Prairie:Hmmm...someone seems happy. And I betcha I know why!;) *playing a bit of "Brahm's Lullaby"
*laughing*Yep...you're right Prairie.My gosh,I'm so happy! It's as if I'm having a baby of my own. I know I can't. But that's OK though..
Prairie:You're gonna make a wonderful aunt for the second time,Kath.You know your niece loves you.
Lately I'm not so sure Prairie. She's very energetic & wanted me to run after her when I was up in New York.I just couldn't keep up with her.
Prairie:Now hold on a sec,Kath. First of all I remember you saying that it was hot up there.Too hot to run.Second of all,she's only 6. She'll understand that you have limits once she gets older.
You're right,Prairie. Thanks.

[ReneeLouvier]

Sara: I don't know what to do guys!

Jim: About what?

Jerry: Yeah...what's wrong, Sara?

Sara: Oh! I want to write, but I feel bad about Gonzo, because of the story I never finished with him and Tanzer...and....it just fell into a rut!

Scooter: Hate to admit it, Sara...but just forget that story! Or put it back on the burner to stew some more, like you always say. It's at a plateau, it isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Frank: Just chuck it out.

Sara: It isn't trash, Frank! I can't just...abandon a story like that!!! It's....it's not right.

Scooter: Beth's done it....and so has Ed!

Sara: Scooter. This is me, not them. Remember Sadie's Stories? Know how big that is?

Scooter: In a regular format, regular sized typeset....about 178 pages, right?

Sara: Yes. Do you also know how long it took me to write it?

Jerry: It only took you about two months didn't it?

Sara: ...Roughly, but yeah. And I've been bogged down!

Jim: Hmm...I know.

Sara: What? I...I need to write guys! Give me inspiriation!!

Scooter: *Spies the new 1st Season Box Set on the bed, and picks it up.* Fraggles.

Sara: ...Fraggles? Why them? I don't really know much about them and all....

Scooter: Junior Gorg! Your favorite character! Or...you could do Wembley! Or Mokey! Any of them!

Sara: Yeah...I've watched the whole season now...I already knew a lot about them from when I watched the re-runs...yeah!! Thank you guys!!! *Walks over to the computer and starts drafting out ideas*

Frank: Now uh...how long has she had that DVD set?

Scooter: *blushes a little, smiling.* Well...uh...

Jerry: And she said she's watched the whole thing?

Scooter: She hasn't watched the last 4 episodes yet....

Jim: When did she get it?

Scooter: *watching as she continues to type away* Yesterday.

[Erine81981]

Hey there Telly. I didn't know you were already here.

Telly: Well I live here. *laughs*

I know that. I was meaning I thought you weren't coming over till after Sunday.

Telly: Oh no. I hope Bryan didn't tell you something different. Ohhhh...*starts worring where he'll stay*

Don't worry Telly. I just didn't know. Your welcome to stay.

Telly: *whew* Don't scare me like that. Oh by the way. I brought Chuckie Sue over.
Thats fine.

Cookie M: Me and Telly have been having turns petting her.

Glad you are Cookie Monster. Glad you are. Has anyone seen Herry? He's spoused to be home by now.

Grover: He is down by the pool.

Oh yea. Him and Mel Monster were going down there. Ok. I'll be in the other room doing my script for my thing tomorrow.

Grover: Ok. *goes back to reading his furry animal book* Ohhhh how cute.

Telly: Come on Cookie Monster. Let's go get some food for Chuckie Sue. My bad is right over here.

Cookie M: *grabs some and eats it* Mmmmmm this stuff is delicious.

Telly: Cookie Monster? Don't eat that. It's Chuck Sue's. *laughs at Cookie Monster*

[The Count]

*Happy and humming the original version of how the Sesame Street theme sounds...
Sure am glad Kath'll be an aunt again. Got a few smaller/younger cousins from my cousins on my dad's side already.
Count: And your third?
Claudia? She's getting married in November.

You know, I'm also glad to see Sara posting. Was a bit worried about her.
Count: Yes... She has that story...
Mmm, might be best not to bring it up. Unless she'd want to come down and talk shop.
We could probably exchange some ideas for continuing/finishing both of them.

Count: Ah vell, I'll be turning in soon.
Turning into what?
Count: One of Lisa's or Fozzie's jokes?
Heh... Maybe.

*Keeps humming Sesame Street theme.
The dorms were brought to you today by the letter...
K, for Kermit and kids you'll find living here.

Count: And by the number... 2.
Yep... Good night guys.

[Bill Bubble Guy]

Bill: Back again. We're not around very often these days are we Martin? But at least everybody knows the reason why.
Martin: True Bill. I'm pleased to be able to let everybody know my mother is coping just fine. And we finished half of the Kimba DVD collection.
Bill: She is enjoying them isn't she?
Martin: Yeah. I'm glad I decided to leave the television and DVD player permanently set up over there. I'll have all the Kimba discs stored over there eventually along with the Astroboy discs.
Bill: Do you miss not being able to watch them yourself?
Martin: Well a little. But at least I have all my Condensed Books from Readers' Digest to go through and read. I'm posting all about them in Last book you read thread. I've finished three volumes and I've begun a fourth now. And in future I'll be able to watch my discs when I visit Mummy.
Bill: At least you are as positive as she is.
Martin: Yes Bill. That is the only way to be. Now time for some bubbles eh?
Bill: Yeah. Yeah.

Bubbles fly around for twenty minutes.

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Thanks for your help with this Red
Red: Are you kidding? I love muffins and I love cannons! This will be great
*they go to Sara's room*
Beth: Ready?
Red: Ready! Fire one!
*a muffin shoots into Sara's room*
Beth: Hey sissy! Give Ed a hand so we can get some more of his story! And write some of your story and cheer up!
Red: One more! Fire two!
*another muffin shoots into the room*
Beth: Love ya sissy, see you later!

[tvlistingman]

ZOE: What are you watching

PETER: I'm watching Part 2 of a Walk Down Sesame Street when Sesame Street celebrated 10 years on the air

ELMO: Wow

LITTLE BIRD: Cool Program

ELMO: James Earl Jones hosted that special

PETER: That's Right, say how about we go play mini golf

ZOE: Sounds good

LITTLE BIRD: Me Too

ELMO: Me Three!, and say there is the Spanish Version of Sesame Street playing on there

ZOE: Yeah, and the program is popular round the World!

PETER: That's right!

[Beauregard]

Beau: *away on holiday*
Bobo: *also away on holiday*
Bo: *You get the picture...*
Beau: What picture?
Bobo: Er...that one.
Beau: Ahh! Ri-ght.
Bo: *sigh*
Beau: *sigh*
Bobo: Ooh...a Danish...

[ReneeLouvier]

Jim: *Gets conked by the muffin shooting into the room* Oh! What was that?

Sara: *Gets hit by the second muffin* Woah! Flying muffins! *Picks it up, and looks at the smashed muffin.* Hm. Blueberry. *picks a bit off and eats it.* Nice and fresh. Stories? Ed needs help??

Scooter: We're being attacked by cannon-launched muffins? Wow. I would have thought cannon-launched fish perhaps.

Sara: This is the dorms. If it wasn't muffins, they'd somehow figure out how to launch a ziffel at me.

Jerry: Is that possible?

Sara: Not sure, actually. But if it was ever possible, they'd do it. I gotta go talk to Ed however.

*Sara walks down to Ed's room.*

Sara: I'm sorry Ed, but I just can't figure out how to help you with "Carol Sing" at the moment. It'll take me probably an hour or two. I'll try it tonight however, as I've got my iPod with me at my friends house. I'm hanging around here, while she's at work. =D I'll drop you a line if I get it nice and figured out however.

[The Count]

*To Count... OK... You got the ziffle ready?
Count Ready and vaiting.
OK... Let's aim this one at...
Oh hi Sara. No worries, when you can get it if you can, that'll be fine. Just glad you're out and about again. And if it's too much, then call in some of the other guys to help, I did say that in the pages of the story, as a footnote...

Well, you have fun with your friend...
*To offscreen... OK guys, we're aimin' at Ryan. Yeah, yeah, I know... But she posted more. Hey, I'm not the one who writes this stuff, *voice trailing off... They're the ones who have to update...

[The Count]

*Coming back in... Thank you Sara. There'll be a few changes, a few additions here and there...
But thank you sooo very much. Now, to plan how/where to include the next song I want after this and the story's development. Look for something, hopefully tomorrow.

And if I can be of any service to you, fanfic brainstorming or otherwise... You know I'll be here...
Count, at the bat-organ: You just call out our names.
Me: And you know wherever you are...
Count: Ve'll come running...
Running to you.

*In ghostly voice: Winter, spring, summer or fall.
All you have to do is call.
Count: And ve'll come running...
*Pause for effect: Running for you.

[RedDragon]

I keep fixating on the wrong story...It's hard having more than one story in your head..

L: hmmm *sleeping*

I can write a post in MopFam, but I can't write a story about it...

L: hmmm...flying monkies....hmmm

Are you listening to me?

L: hmmmm....underground donut cavern...hmmmm

I'll take that as a "no" oh well, I should go to sleep anyways...it's 1 in the morning...

L: hmmm...State Puff Marshmallow man.....hmmm

Night all...

[Erine81981]

I'm off today. Is anyone else?

Herry: Me.

Grover: And so am I.

Cool. Let's all go to the Zoo today. And then a movie or something.

Telly: For real?

Yep.

Telly: Yeaaaaaa!!!

Cookie M: Can me get cookies at the zoo?

Sure. I'll even get an extra box for you to eat.

Cookie M: Oh boy!

Ok. Is everyone dressed and ready?

Monsters: Yes!

Ok. Roll call.

Telly?

Telly: Here! *salutes*

Grover?

Grover: Here.

Herry?

Herry: Here!

Cookie Monster?

Cookie M: Here.

Ok. Let's head out.

Telly: Oh I can't wait.

Cookie M: Me either.

[The Count]

Sure hope the guys had a nice day at the zoo...

Oh well, everybody's probably asleep by now. *Soft music plays.
The dorms were brought to you by the letter B... For the haunting song, Letter B.
And by the number 4, because there are four members in the Beetles.

Good night.

[redBoobergurl]

Red: I'm bored
Robin: Me too
Beth: Why don't you guys go swimming
Red: Believe it or not we're tired of swimming
Mokey: You could paint with me
Robin: Well, I'm not real good at painting
Rowlf: You could jam with me
Red: I'd rather do something else
Beth: Why don't you guys go to the park
Robin: Ooh! That sounds fun, there's a slide there!
Red: Works for me!
*they take off for the park*
Beth: Boy, they sure do get along well together don't they?

[The Count]

Yeah... You'd think that'd give you an idea for a fic or something... Or maybe a chapter or two...
Ah, I'm just so glad I found my rare Letter B album.

Gonna be working on a few things, maybe I'll save the story till tomorrow since more of my usual loyal readers will hopefully be online then.

[Erine81981]

There! Finished.

Telly: What are you writing?

I was just finishing my third chapter in my fan fic. It's about a backstory of some character I created.

Telly: Can you read it to me?

Uh....I really don't like to read to others.....but for you I'll do it.

Telly: Yeah! *laughs a bit and quites down*

*starts reading it*

Telly: This is going to be fun.

[tvlistingman]

PETER: Good Morning Everyone!

LITTLE BIRD: Good Morning Peter!

ELMO: What are we going to do today?!

ZOE: I want to know

PETER: We are going to go to the gym and before that we'll go to Everybody Eats for a healthy breakfast

ZOE: Sounds Good, Peter!

[theprawncracker]

Me: *walks into room 25* Hey guys I'm back.

Gonzo: A day late!

Me: Sorry guys...I didn't get home until late last night.

Clifford: No problem dude. Uncle D.'s been keepin' track of Big Bird and Snuffy.

Me: Is that where he is now?

Cantus: Yes, he is there right now tending to the needs that they need.

Me: Oh good, well I think I'll head over there later, but right now I've gotta get the next chapter of my story up. *goes to computer* And don't bother me unless something's burned, maimed or any combination of the two. *glares at Gonzo*

[The Count]

Guess I should get to writing too...

Just that I have a bit of a block regarding my private project... Revisiting all the descripts I've got saved in other files, deciding just what it is I want to do with...
Well... Gotta commit to something and get it done...
*Sets to working on the computer.

[Erine81981]

Telly: What to do today?

Cookie M: We could eat cookies.

Telly: Not right now Cookie Monster.

Cookie M: Ok. *eats some cookies anyways*

Telly: What are we going to do today Kyle?

Well since I have to go to work at 2. I'm just going to watch some TV.

Telly: Sounds good to me. *sits down after feeding Chuckie Sue* There that should keep her belly full. What we watching?

Timeblazers. It's about this girl who gets visited by two strangers but there nice ones and they help her find out what happens back in old days.

Telly: Sounds like fun.

It is fun to watch.

Cookie M: Anything on cookies back then?

Don't know. Let's watch.

[Bill Bubble Guy]

NOTE FROM BILL AND MARTIN TO EVERYONE TACKED UP ON NOTICE BOARD

We're off to see my dear mummy again for three more days tomorrow. Thank you for all your kind support and we'll let you know how she fares when we get some more feedback from the doctors. We'll be trying to watch as many episodes of Kimba the White Lion with her as possible.

Regards Bill and Martin.

[Katzi428]

Prairie:*looking out the window*Grrr...:grouchy:
The rain,huh?
Prairie: Yeah...*sitting down and sighing*I wanted to go for a walk around Hensonville today.But it's raining & stormy out.If I go out,I'll likely catch a cold.
I understand,Prairie.Rain kind of puts me in a deep blue funk too. We'll think of something to do.How about working on a play?
Prairie: Nah...everyone hates my plays.
Who says?
Prairie:Oscar.He says that everyone only pretends to like my plays & they just act in them to shut me up.
Prairie,hon...take that from where it's coming from.You know that he only says things to get people mad or upset.You know that by now,silly! Everyone loves your plays!
Prairie:They do?
Yes..of course they do!
Prairie:I guess you're right.Maybe I'll work on doing a play.Thanks Kath.:)
My pleasure.

[The Count]

Aw... But I love it when it rains... Especially if there's just a little bit of thunder.
Though I can understand that it'd make you have to change your plans for outdoors to indoors almost instantly. Tell ya' what Prairie... You work on that new play of yours... And maybe by later this afternoon things'll have cleared up so you can go take that walk around this town of ours. Either that, or I might have something posted/added to the fanfic library. You should read the latest chapter to Kathy, I think that'll put a Cheshire smile on her face.

[Katzi428]

Prairie:*taking a look at my face*Uhoh.

Gaffer:*taking a look at me & scooting under the bed*
I don't believe it Prairie...I just don't believe it!*pacing the floor*:mad:
Prairie:Yeah...I know. After that funeral home gave that crummy service for your dad last year,and after your miom said something,they'd know that they should stay far away.
Prairie...I wanted to tell them off,but I talked to my mom & she said no.I guess she figures it'd be her job to tell them off since Dad was her husband.
Prairie:Right.Here...*handing me a pillow* Punch this.Get ALL your anger out.
punching the pillow and muttering a few not so nice words (which I won't put here)
Prairie:OK..how's that?
:cry:
Prairie*soothingly*OK....cry it out...I'm here.*hugging me.*That's my buddy.

[BEAR]

Rosita: Oh no! Kathy is upset. I know! I will go out to the garden and pick some flowers for her to feel better.
Bry: (walking in the lobby door from outside) Woo! What a hot time out at the lake and it really doesn't seem like it's much better here. Hope it's okay to have the air conditioning on in our room, there have been some crazy power outage problems and rolling blackouts from what I understand. (sees Rosita) Oh hey, Rosita!
Rosita: Hola! (gives me a hug) Welcome back!
Bry: Thanks. What are you doing?
Rosita: Taking these flowers to Kathy. She's been really upset today.
Bry: Oh no. Well, give her my best when you see her.
Rosita: I will. See you later.
Bry: Okay! (goes to room 29 to unpack)

[The Count]

Course it's OK to have the ICE units turned on Bry... Got ours turned on at the moment.
Good to have you back buddy... Here, just finished prepping these nice big muffins.
Sliced their tops off, filled them with some creamy vanilla ice cream, then put the tops back on, smushing the cream into a bit of frosting around the edges.
There's milk in the fridge if you want some.

*Knocks on Room #6's door, leaving tray of iced muffins and some milk for Kathy and Prairie, and some milk in a washed dish for Gaffer.

Well... Two weeks left before I get back to classes... Better enjoy the time that's left.

[BEAR]

Rosita: (Leaves flowers next to Ed's muffins by room 6's door)

Bry: Thanks, Ed, for these muffins. They look very refreshing on such a hot day. (goes to room 29 and walks in) I'm back!
Big Bird: Hi, Bryan!
Snuffy: Hi!
Big Bird: How was your trip?
Bry: It was fine. Sooo hot though.
Big Bird: Yeah it's been warm here too.
Bry: Did you have a good weekend?
Big Bird: It was okay.
Bry: Did Ryan play with you?
Snuffy: Not much. But Uncle Deadly came to check on us a few times. For the most part we were kind of on our own.
Bry: Where's Telly?
Big Bird: Still with Kyle I'm guessing.
Bry: Oh. Say, Ed gave us these iced muffins. Want some?
Snuffy: Mmm...they look good.
Bry: I'll serve you up. (goes over to kitchen area and finds Stinky the Stinkweed on the counter) Stinky?! What are you doing here?
Stinky: Just thought I would find some nice cool shade inside. Could use a little water on my wilty limp leaves...if you don't mind.
Bry: Not at all. (waters Stinky)
Stinky: Oh thank you!
Big Bird: He's been around our room the last few days.
Bry: No problem. I guess it can be too hot even for a plant sometimes.
Stinky: You can say that again!

[Katzi428]

Prairie:You know..we have some really good friends here.Rosita picked some beautiful flowers for you. Want me to put them in water for you?
No..I've got it.Thanks Prairie. Look...I'm sorry I blew my top today.It's just that...
Prairie:Kath...you had every right to be upset.
I scared Gaffer though.
*As if on cue,Gaffer comes up to me,hops on my lap,starts purring & giving me "kitty kisses" with her tongue*
Prairie:I think she's forgiven you. Or should that be furgiven?;)
*laughing*You're right.Let's have some of milk and iced muffins that Ed brought up.Plus we'll give Gaffer her dish of milk

[Erine81981]

*sees Bryan's back* Hey there Bryan. Glad to see you back. Telly is already asleep. I'll let him know in the morning that your back. Good night everyone in the dorms.

[BEAR]

Bry: So I guess Telly is going to be spending an extra night at Kyle's. We'll see him tomorrow.
Big Bird: Wait! We forgot to say that the Dorms were brought to you today by the letter N for nest.
Snuffy: And noodle!
Rosita: and naranjas!
Snuffy: What about the number of the day, Bird?
Big Bird: Well, we'll count how many sheep jump through the window.
(a series of sheep jump through the window)
Sheep: Baa!
Roomies: One!
Sheep: Baa!
Roomies: Two!
Sheep: Baa!
Roomies: Three!
Duck: (jumping in) Quack!
Big Bird: Hey, you're a Duck!
Duck: No kidding!
Bry: Well, I guess it's 3 sheep and a duck.
Rosita: So that makes it the number 4!
Bry: Silly! Goodnight all!
Rosita: Buenos noches.
Big Bird: Goodnight.
Snuffy: ZZZZZZZ...
Hoots: Sleep tight! (plays sleepy lullabye theme)

[theprawncracker]

Me: *talking on the phone to Bryan* Hey Bry, rully sorry I didn't play with Big Bird and Snuffy too much while you were gone, but you know how family vacations go...Yeah and I sent Gonzo over with some muffins, he should be there soon. See ya! *hangs up*

Clifford: Who was that my friend?

Me: Oh it was Bryan, I was just apologizing for not being able to play with his roomies this weekend.

Cantus: Mmm, I see, well I think I may know how to remedy your situation. *pulls out pipe and begins to play*
Everyday the world begins again,
Sunny skies or rain
Come and follow me

Every sunrise shows me more and more
So much to explore come and follow me

Both: Every morning every day
Every evenin' calling me away!

Me: While the sun goes round I'll still be found
Followin' the sound
Wonders callin' me

When the world goes driftin' back to bed
Memories in my head
Wonder's follow me

Both: Every mornin'
Every day
Every evenin'
Callin' me away!

Every mornin'
Every day
Every evenin'
Callin' me away.

Me: Thanks Cantus, that did help.

Cantus: I'm always glad I can help those in need of my help when they cannot find help anywhere to be found.

Me: Right...

[BEAR]

Bry: Hey, Gonzo. Thanks for the muffins, and tell Ryan that was no problem. Thanks for checking up on them anyway.

[theprawncracker]

Gonzo: Alright Bryan will do! *goes back to room 25* Hey Ryan, Bry says "It was a problem. Thanks for ducking out on them and you'll pay."

Me: *gulp* Uh-oh...Uncle D. any news on my untimely death?

UD: Hehe, not yet Ryan, but I will let you know.

[The Count]

*Getting back to the dorms... Sorry I left for a while guys... Went to the pizzeria with my family.
We're having some parting meals with my younger sister, she'll be leaving on Thursday to go study medicine in Guadalahara.
Also... Today's date is a holiday for us in PR.
Count: Rully? Vhy's that?
Well... The 25th of July, instead of being Christmas in July Day...
That particular date is celebrated each year, because on 7/25/72 Puerto Rico signed the constitution that gave us our current political state, denominating the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico as a Freely Associated State with the United States of America.
We know it better by it's initials in Spanish, the E.L.A. "Estado Libre Asociado".
Count: Ah, now I get it...

Yep, so come on... Think there are some stories awaiting us in the fanfic library. Ask Uncle Deadly if he's already read them though, or if he and Ryan's roomies would like to join us.

[theprawncracker]

Me: Oh hey Count, yeah sure we'll tag along, although Uncle D. may have read them all, I know I haven't.

Gonzo: Well I know I haven't read the two latest chapters of your story Ryan.

Cantus: Mmm, and that story of Sara's does peak my interests.

Cliff: I'm sure I could find something to read.

Camilla: Bagawk bawk!

UD: And I love to re-read stories.

Me: It's unanimous then, let's go guys!

[The Count]

*In Kermit voice: Oh good.
Say, you don't know if Christy's read 1LS do you?
Oh well... *Sits down to read new chapters in stories.

[theprawncracker]

Me: *to Count* No I don't know if she's read it yet. I'm guessing she hasn't...You know Christy...

[The Count]

Yeah... She kinda logs off by 6PM and doesn't come back till next weekday morn round 9AM.
Wonder if the Moppet Family show'll get some new episodes... Been kinda stuck in a rut since that Bo chappy got himself in a comma.

[theprawncracker]

Been kinda stuck in a rut since that Bo chappy got himself in a comma.

Me: Are you sure he didn't get trapped in a semi-colon? ;) No I'm just messing around Ed, and in case you didn't know it's spelled coma this is a comma, , :p

Gonzo: Hey, when did Scooter and Ernie get here?

Me: Huh?

Gonzo: *points to smilies*

Me: Oh...Um, they're just visiting.

[The Count]

Knowing Bo... It pretty much'd be the same thing.
Thought you'd know about Christy, since you talk to her on MSN... Well, gonna retire for a bit.
Check you guys later.

[redBoobergurl]

Robin: I'm sad Rosita's gone already, we didn't get to play with her very long
Beth: Yeah, we had a few things to do this weekend unfortunately. Don't forget the Spanish word she taught you though!
Robin: I won't. Amigo!
Red: I still think it's weird that you all speak different languages
Beth: It makes our world more interesting Red
Mokey: Yeah, it's so neat!
Rowlf: Well, I may not speak any languages, but I speak the language of music!
Beth: That is definately true
Robin: Will someone read me the latest chapter in Beth's story?
Mokey: I will Robin

[BEAR]

Big Bird: Read me a story
Read me a rhyme
Something that happened
Once upon a time
Rosita: It can have monsters
Princesses too
Telly: Wonderful kingdoms
Make-believe or true
Snuffy: Read me a story
And when it's through
Here's what I promise to do
BB/Snuffy/Telly/Rosita: Read me a story
And when I can read
I'll read one to you

Bry: Alright, guys, let's head down to the reading room.

[The Count]

*Back in our room...

That was a great chapter Beth posted. Gotta get some of my own done though...
Will get to it a bit later, gonna catch some TV and maybe a little of pet project work too.

[Ruahnna]

Piggy: (bringing a cup of hot tea to Catherine and setting it by her elbow) Here you go, roomie.
(Catherine sits back and looks at it. Looks at Piggy. Blinks. Rubs eyes.) Hm! Still there. For a moment I thought I might have been halucinating.
Piggy: Ha ha.
Catherine: (taking sip of tea, which is lukewarm. Swallows it with difficulty.) Wow, thanks Piggy. This was, um, very sweet. (The tea, however, is not sweet.)
Piggy: (carefully) You've been working very hard lately.
Catherine: It has been a challenging couple of weeks.
Piggy: And you are writing a great deal.
Catherine: (surveying her wreck of an office area) (rueful) Yes. I'm afraid so. (Sits back from desk and surveys the wreck of her living area.) Ugh--what a mess I've made.
Piggy: I, um, helped make a teensy-weensy little bit of the mess, too.
Catherine: Oh, good. I thought it was just me. Wow--I've really been preoccupied, haven't I? It's so easy when you're writing to sortof lose track of the time and space you're in, you know?
Piggy: (thoughtfully) Acting is like that, too. (a little sadly) One moment you're Juliet, and the next minute the man in your life is climbing back down the ladder. (sniffs)
Catherine: (standing and putting a comforting arm around Piggy) Don't worry, Honey. He'll come around--he always does.
Piggy: (brightening a little) Yes, he always does, doesn't he?
Catherine: How about a little breakfast? I'm ravishing, no--wait, I'm famished, you're ravishing. (laughs) I have a hankering for pancakes.
Piggy: (very quietly) And could you make us some more tea? The stuff I made is really bad.
Catherine: Sure thing, Sweetie. Then let's stay up late and watch old movies!
Piggy: Ooh, ooh! Can we watch White Christmas?
Catherine: Oh--I LOVE that one! Okay--pancakes, popcorn, and Bing and Danny. Dibs on Danny.
Piggy: You can have him. I'll take the short one with the great voice. (sighs) Story of my life....
Catherine: (firmly) C'mon--none of that. I'll get my game on in the kitchen and you find the DVD, 'kay?
Piggy: 'Kay. (a pause) Roomie?
Catherine: Yes, Honey?
Piggy: I'm glad we're roomies.
Catherine: My priviledge, Honey. I'm just glad to be here.

(music starts to blare out)

Me: What is happening here
Something's going on that's not quite clear
Somebody turn on the lights
We're gonna have a party
It's starting tonight

Monsters and Me: Oh, what a feeling!
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling!
When we're dancing on the ceiling

Me: The room is hot...that's good
Some of my friends came
By from the neighbourhood
People were starting
To climb the walls
Ooh, it looks like everybody
Is having a ball

(Grover starts climbing the wall to the ceiling)

Monsters and Me: Oh, what a feeling!
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling!
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling!
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling!
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling!
When we're dancing on the ceiling

(Herry is now on the ceiling)

Me and Cookie Monster: Everybody starts to lose control
When the music is right
If you see somebody hanging around
Don't get up tight
The only thing we wanna do tonight
Is go round and round
And turn upside down
Come on, let's get down
So come on, let's get loose
Don't hold back
Because it ain't no use
Hard to keep your feet on the ground
Because when we like to party it
We only want to get down

Monsters and Me: Oh, what a feeling!
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling!
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Ohhh what a feeling baby!
When we’re dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling!
When we're dancing on the ceiling

(music interlude)

(Me and Cookie Monster finally get up there)

Me: Say what?

Herry: Can’t stop now...

Grover: Just get started

Cookie Mosnter: Everybody clap your hands, come on
Everybody have sense

Me: Oh oh oh oh, what a feeling!
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling!
When we're dancing on the ceiling

(Now were on the ceiling dacing around)

Mosnters and Me: Oh, what a feeling!
When we're dancing on the ceiling
Oh, what a feeling!
When we're dancing on the ceiling

[The Count]

*Scratching head... Now how do you suppose Kyle and the Monsters got up onto the ceiling?
Eh, must've had some little footholes or suction cups or something.
Count: Hope they didn't hurt themselves falling back down...
Me: Once they realized there was nothing keeping them up there and gravity set in... Yes.
And to paraphrase somebody famous around here... Why have sense, when more profitable to have dollars?

[Bill Bubble Guy]

Martin: Well Bill. Things didn't go quite the way I planned did they?
Bill: No they didn't. Your mother ended up getting an infection on her chin and going into hospital before you could stay with her again.
Martin: Ah well. That's the way things happen sometimes. She's doing well though. I'll see her tomorrow for a visit. When she's back home I'll stay with her for a few nights and we'll see how many more Kimbas we can watch.
Bill: And you had some exciting news too eh?
Martin: Yes Even Mummy was happy to hear of the birth of her grandchild and my niece, Vanessa Anne. I hope Mum gets through her chemo okay so Gary and Bronwyn can visit sometime with the little baby girl.
Bill: It's good to always look on the bright side Martin.
Martin: Yes Bill. Well let's do our usual thing.
1 2 3 BLOW (IT'S TIME FOR MORE BUBBLES) :):):)

[theprawncracker]

Me: Ah, what a relaxing day at the dorms...

Gonzo: *flies in at rapid speed over my head.*

Me: Ah, what a normal day at the dorms...

[The Count]

Yep... You'd hardly know Lisa'll be back in a week's time.

BTW: Ryan... You gonna make arrangements for your roomies while you'll be gone?

[theprawncracker]

Me: Yeah I will Ed, but I'll deal with that this weekend.

Gonzo: You're leaving?

Me: Yup.

Gonzo: For how long?

Me: This Sunday to next Sunday. So about a week.

Gonzo: That's sooooo long Ryan! And you'll miss Lisa! ...Again!

Me: You've survived longer...Don't worry about me Gonzo.

[BEAR]

Bry: Okay, guys...what do ya say we clean up this place?
Telly: What's wrong with it?
Bry: It's a mess.
Big Bird: It is?
Bry: Yes, there is junk all over the place.
Oscar: (popping up out of our wastebasket) Did someone say "junk"? Hehehe!

[tvlistingman]

PETER: What are we going to do tomorrow

ELMO: How about the Beach, Peter

ZOE: Sounds Good to Me

LITTLE BIRD: I agree with Elmo

PETER: Me Too and We're watching America's got Talent

ZOE: Okay!!!!

[Erine81981]

Hey there Peter. Hows everything going on? I don't see much of you and your buddies. Hey Elmo. Zoe. Little Bird. Good to see ya'll. You all have a good time at the Beach. Maybe you will see me and the Monsters there. Nice talking to you. Bye. *closes door*

Grover: Who was that?

Peter from next door. He, Elmo, Little Bird and Zoe are going to the beach tomorrow. I said maybe we'll see them there.

Grover: You have to work tomorrow.

Oh yea. I forgot. Maybe some other time then. Time for some of the "Moppet Family" tv series.

Grover: Wait for me.

Cookie M: *comes running in and jumps on the couch* Me couldn't wait either.

Herry: Here are the sodas.

Thanks Herry.

Herry: Welcome.

Shhhhh it's starting.

[BEAR]

(In room 29 all are doing some summer cleaning)

Big Bird: It sure has been quiet around the dorms.
Telly: Well, we've been couped up in here all day.
Bry: Well, I just thought since it is so hot outside, we could stay in this nice air conditioned room and do some cleaning and organizing. Besides, pretty soon we're gonna have to start getting ready to pack up for the dorms closing before the anniversary.
Telly: Oh yeah!
Rosita: (going through a dusty box) Hey, look what I found!
Snuffy: What is it, Rosita?
Rosita: I think it's a video tape.
Telly: Of what?
Bry: Oh hey, I know what this is. (takes it from Rosita) It's the Sesame Street 20th Anniversary special. You know, I forgot I had this.
Snuffy: Can we watch it?
Big Bird: Yeah, can we?
Telly: (hugging my waist and looking up at me) Pleeeeeeeaaase???
Bry: Oh, alright. It's about dinner time anyway. How about we get dinner ready and then pop in the tape and watch while we eat?
Telly: (cheering) Yea! Alright!!
Big Bird: Oh boy! Hahaha!
Bry: *sigh* Why do I always let you win?
Telly: Because you love us.

[The Count]

That's a good special Bry. Got it on VCD myself... Only missing the Innertube pilot episode to complete my JHH Muppet library. You do know that was kind of a thirteenth semi-connected JHH episode fright?
Oh well... Maybe next time I talk to my Canadian friend, I could get the Walk Around SS special. Then again, if he doesn't have it, I know a couple of folks here who do.

Incidentally... The dorms have been brought to you today by the letters M and P for Muppets.
Count: And by the number 2, as in two lovely letters and two electric lightningbolts.
Fright... Well, good night everybody.

[BEAR]

Bry: Goodnight, Ed, and goodnight dorms.
Snuffy: Boy, that sure was a great special. Wasn't it, Bird?
Big Bird: Sure was! Can we watch another one?
Telly: Yeah, I just found one called "Rocky Mountain Holiday."
Bry: Maybe tomorrow, but I think it's time to go to sleep now. Goodnight.
Rosita: Buenas noches.

[BEAR]

Bry: Okay, who knocked that shelf off the wall? Snuffy? Telly?
Telly: Don't look at me.
Bry: I know, Gonzo came in here, didn't he. I'm gonna call him up right now and--
Big Bird: Bryan?
Bry: What?
Big Bird: You did it.
Bry: I did it?
Big Bird: In your sleep. You kicked the shelf off the wall.
Bry: Oh...(embarassed)

[theprawncracker]

Gonzo: So Ryan, what's on the agenda tonight?

Me: Well Gonzo, we can watch Muppets Tonight!-

Clifford: That has my vote!

Me: Fraggle Rock-

Cantus: And that has mine.

Me: Or, we could go with The Muppets Celebrate 30 Years.

Gonzo: Well that has all of us in it doesn't it?

Cliff: Nope!

UD: Can't we just watch them all?

Me: Fine with me! *watches The Muppets Celebrate 30 Years*

[The Count]

Nnnngghhh.
Count: Vhat's wrong?
I've been getting resistance from this one website I like to visit.
Count: Vhich one?
Oh you know... Muppet something or other, think they took the name from JHH.
Count: Vhat's the matter?
Well... I can get to the forum fine, but when I go into a particular thread... It seems to slow down in getting to the thread itself.
And what's worse, sometimes I get to the thread, it takes a while to load even though I already got the last post in the thread on screen, but it does a second click on its own getting to that "Cannot Find Server" message.
Count: Hmmm, did you contact the mods?
Posted a thread asking them about it, haven't heard back.

Though I did just finish a call with my mom.
Count: How is she?
Fine, she'll be with my sister in Mexico for the next week and a half. My sister will be studying medicine there, and my mom went to be with her for this little last bit of vacation surveying the campus and everything.
Count: Ah... Vell, let's hope for the best.
Indeed, now let's go and get some food.

[BEAR]

Telly: What are you doing?
Bry: Calling Ed to see if he can help me get in contact with Biff and Sully.
Telly: Why?
Bry: Well, when the shelf came off the wall, the part that holds up the shelf broke off too. So I can't easily put it back on myself without the right parts. So I thought maybe Biff and Sully could help out. Or maybe this is a job for the Doozers. It's a small task.
Telly: You could also call the Fix-It Shop on Sesame Street. Maria and Luis are great at fixing things.
Bry: That's true. (Calls Ed for assistance)

[The Count]

*Gets phone... Oh hi Bry... Mmhm... Sounds like your best bet would be to get some Doozers. Biff and Sully are a bit busy these days, and I'm not sure if Luis and/or María could make the trip here to Hensonville. Hope that helps.

[BEAR]

Bry: (on phone) Thanks, Ed. Will do! (hangs up) Okay, gotta get me some Doozers for this job.
Big Bird: Didn't you say you wanted to clear off the shelves and redo them anyway?
Bry: I did say that before, huh? Well, maybe I'll hold off on calling the Doozers for now then. Hey, Rosita! Why don't you pop in that Rocky Mountain Holiday...
Rosita: Okay!
Bry: ...and I'll make up some snacks.
Big Bird: Birdseed milkshake?
Bry: You got it!

[theprawncracker]

Me: Oh I just love this 30 Years special.

Gonzo: Yeah Camilla, you were great in that one!

Camilla: Bagawk bawk bawk!

Gonzo: Neither of those chickens were you? ...Oh boy...

Camilla: BAWK?! *starts pecking Gonzo*

Me: Good grief it's a love quadrangel.

[RedDragon]

<hears Ryan>

Hey that's not as bad as the love Icosahedron (A 20 sided polyhedron consisting of twenty equilateral triangles) that is in the OC....

L: Yeah...

[BEAR]

(just finished watching Rocky Mountain Holiday)
Rosita: John Denver was so wonderful.
Big Bird: Yeah, I miss him.
Bry: Well, it's about time for bed now, guys.
Snuffy: But what about the Number and Letter of the Day?
Rosita: I think I saw the Cookie Monster with them.
Telly: Uh oh. You think he ate them? Then we'll never know!
Bry: Not unless Prairie Dawn was able to salvage them.

[Erine81981]

Cookie M: Here Kyle. *hands number and letter of the day to me*

Thanks. I think I'll sing a song about this letter right here. Or as a matter of fact maybe I'll have Little Jerry the Monotones sing it. Take it ways fellas.

Little Jerry: Ok. Thank you Kyle. Ready boys.

Big Jeffy: Ready Little Jerry.

Chrissy: Ready!

Rockin Richard: Let's get the song going.
(music starts)

Big Jeffy: We're mad.
Chrissy and Rockin' Richard: Very angry, very, very angry.
Big Jeffy: Real mad.
Chrissy and Rockin' Richard: Very angry, very, very angry.

Little Jerry: When someone socks me in the eye
And they don't even tell me why, that makes me mad.

Big Jeffy, Rockin Richard and Chrissy: Very angry, very, very angry

Little Jerry: When I'm walkin' down the street
And someone stomps upon my feet, that makes me mad.

Big Jeffy, Rockin Richard and Chrissy: Ya, we're angry, very, very angry

Little Jerry: My hands get shakey and my knees get weak,
My voice sounds funny when I'm tryin' to speak,
Don't wanna see no one till way next week when I get MAD!

Big Jeffy, Rockin Richard and Chrissy: Very angry, very, very angry. So mad. Very angry, very, very angry

Little Jerry: When I try to climb a tree
And then I fall and hurt my knee, that makes me mad.

Big Jeffy, Rockin Richard and Chrissy: Very angry, very, very angry

Little Jerry: And when I see some girls and boys
And they won't let me share their toys, that makes me mad!!
Well, I feel so angry that I want to roar,
Wanna run home and slam the door,
Don't wanna see nobody no more whan I get mad!

Big Jeffy, Rockin Richard and Chrissy: Yeah we're angry Very angry, very, very angry

Big Jeffy: Real mad!

Rockin Richard and Chrissy: Very angry Yeahhhhhhhhh!

Big Jeffy: Mad mad mad mad

Little Jerry: When I get mad, my face turns red, (real mad)
My hair stands up on the top of my head, (so mad)
I start crying and it's a terrible scene,
I wanna let out a scream, WAAAAAHHHHH! (mad mad)

Rockin Richard and Chrissy: Very angry, very, very angry

Big Jeffy: Real Mad

Rockin Richard and Chrissy: Very angry, very, very angry

Little Jerry: When I see some kids at play
And they tell ME to go away that makes me mad.

Big Jeffy, Rockin Richard and Chrissy: Very angry, very, very angry

Little Jerry: My brother's naughty as can be
And then my mother yells at me, that makes me mad!

Big Jeffy, Rockin Richard and Chrissy: Very angry, very, very angry

Little Jerry: Well, I get so mad, I stamp and shout,
I scream and yell, and I frown and pout,
Now this song is done and you've learned about bein' mad!!!

Rockin Richard and Chrissy: Very angry, very, very angry

Little Jerry and Big Jeffy: Real Mad!

Rockin Richard and Chrissy: Very angry, very, very angry

Little Jerry: Oh that makes me mad! WAAAHHHHHHH!!!!

And that folks was Little Jerry and the Monotones with "Mad" the one thing that I was today. Oh I was so mad I could of.......

Herry: Blown your top.

Right Herry. Blown my top. Thanks again Jerry and the Monotones.

Little Jerry: Anytime Kyle.

Big Jeffy: Yeah!

Chrissy: I loved it.

Rockin Richard: Yeah it was fun. We'll have to do it again.

Little Jerry and the Monotones walk out of my room

Oh by the way the dorms was brought you by the letter "M" for mad and my friends the monsters. Oh and by the number four. As in four members of a band just left this building. Good Night everyone.

[tvlistingman]

PETER: Boy, last night, I Saw Chrissy and the Band perform the letter of the Day

ELMO: Boy we Miss Chrissy (feeds his fish)

ZOE: THat is some band

LITTLE BIRD: Chrissy was the Best Band On Sesame Street

ZOE: I agree

PETER: What are we going to do today

ELMO: Why don't we walk to the mall

ZOE: I agree and it is a hot day

LITTLE BIRD: I guess so Peter, it supposed to be 95

PETER: That's right, Little Bird

Beth: Yea! It's the weekend!
Red: I love weekends! You get to play with us more!
Beth: This is true
Robin: I like weekends too
Rowlf: Hey little buddy, I think Lisa's coming back soon
Robin: I can't wait to see her

UD: Or we'll all be dead!

[Katzi428]

Prairie....I'm home.
Prairie:Hi Kath...*setting down a double chocolate chip frappucino in front of me* How'd everything go today?
*taking a sip from the frappucino*Thanks for getting this for me. I survived okay until there was this scene between a father & son in a movie we were watching. Then I got teary eyed .:cry:
Prairie:Awww Kath *hugging me* Must've been tough to watch,huh?
Yeah *sigh*
*Gaffer comes prancing in and gives me a quizzical look* Meow?
Hi Gafferkins.*scratching her between the ears*
*Gaffer hops on my lap, starts purring and licking my hand*
Awww Gaffer...you're like my kitty Petie .She did the same thing before when I was crying.
Prairie:Must be something with cats. They're very affectionate when you need them.
Yeah....that's the truth.

Grover: I am going to read some more.

Herry: I'll join you.

Thanks Herry. And you Cookie Monster?

Cookie M: Nope. Me getting ready for your sister's pool party.

Oh yea. I almost forgot. Thanks for remembering. Who's all going?

Herry: I know I am. I wouldn't miss it.

Grover: *in the other room* I am!

I wonder if Oscar is going? I'll ask him later. Come on Herry. The show about to start.

Herry: I hope Kyle, Yakky and Jack find Mairin.

Me too. *turns to the channel*

[The Count]

Yep... That's why Rita was one of my fave Animaniac characters.

Hope everything's OK Kath. There've been scenes from movies that affected me in the same way. Funnily enough, the ones I'm thinking of as examples are a trifecta of my #1 all-time favorite comedian.

(perched above Kathy's window...)
Hoots: I guess that's my cue...Muppet Dorms were brought to you today by the letter Q for "quiet night", the letter D for "dad", and by the number 2 for it being "2" long since I've had any lines in this here thread. Well...goodnight! (plays sleepy Sesame theme on his sax)

[The Count]

Thanks... The sigline was inspired by a line in Ryan's new fanfic, along with the fact I'm counting down till SS Season 37 premieres a mere 16 days away now.
Take care everybody, and have a good day.

Well... Looks like Ryan's off again.
*Knock at Room #1's door.
Now who could that be?

UD: Just your fiendly neighborhood spook, come to darken your doorstep.
Count: Ah, velcome Uncle Deadly... Such a fright to have you stay vith us.
UD: Thank you my vampire counting cousin.
OK... Let's see if Beth or Kathy want to go with us to Everybody Eats.
UD: Always a pleasure to visit one of the local haunts.
Yes... And then after dinner... You can make the rounds, reminding the authors to update their stories.
Count: Vhat about your own?
Well... Waiting for a bit of inspiration to strike for the next chapter. Especially since I want one more before going to that special song from Sesame Street. Want to save it for a chapter of its own, for when Lisa returns.
UD: You mean that girl hasn't come back yet?!?
No, but she'll be back soon. And maybe, just maybe, she'll update her Flippersteps to the point when you entered the picture.
UD: I should hope so.
Count: Fright.
Great, now come on. *Knocks on Room #3, and then #6, seeing if either Beth or Kathy want to join us for dinner.

[Katzi428]

*opening door & seeing Ed* Hey Ed! We heard you talking about going to Everybody Eats.
Prairie: And you don't need to ask us twice!:) We'd love to go!
Whew...I'm starving! Think I'll have some lasagna.
Prairie:I'm probably going to have a bacon cheeseburger.

[The Count]

*In Kermit voice: Oh good. Just let me leave this note on Beth's door... There, she can join us there if she wants when she gets back, if we're still there at the restaurant.
OK then, let's go. *All head upstairs and head on over to Everybody Eats.

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Hey guys, let's go down and meet Ed and the Count and Kathy and Prairie at Everybody Eats
Red: I love that place!
Robin: Me too!
Rowlf: Sounds delicious
Mokey: They always have just the right thing!
Beth: Then let's go!
Cantus: I'll play us a tune to travel to
*the group heads to everybody eats*

[The Count]

*Down at the restaurant. Hmmm, wonder if Grover works here. Guess not, since Mr. Johnson is nowhere, fright guys?
UD and Count: Fright.

Let's see... You have the NE clam chowder and extra shrimp platter Count.
Count: Check... *Busily counting the shrimps.
And you have the Burn in Blazes hamburger with French frights Uncle Deadly.
UD: Correct as usual my fiend.
OK... Then I'll have...

*Hears music and finds Robin hugging my hand.
Oh hey, guess you made it.
*Gets up to make room for and greets Beth and her roomies.

No, we were just waiting for you to get here. Give the menus a once-over.
Count: Or twice-over ah ha!
Unless you know what you want.

*Sits back down to think about what to order. Guess I'll have some onion rings and a Midnight Omelette special.

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: I'm feeling like a chocolate milkshake and french fries
Rowlf: You don't look like a shake and fries
Beth: Ha ha
Robin: Can I have a milkshake too?
Beth: Sure, but you have to eat something else too. How about fly bites?
Robin: Ok
Mokey: Well Red, how about we share some doozer stick casserole
Red: With extra radishes?
Mokey: Sure
Cantus: I think I'm just going to have a cup of doozer stick soup
Rowlf: Hmm, well, I'm so hungry I could eat a horse, but instead I think I'll just have a hamburger
Beth: Sure is a good thing they have something for everyone here!

[The Count]

*Absently humming... Hmm, you think that's why they called this place Everybody Eats?
Well, whoever thought of it... Sure glad they did.
Oh good... Food's here.

*Piles a few rings with some of the omelette scramble onto pieces of toast.
Mmm, yummy. Hey Count, please keep an eye on the waiter so you can get me a refill on my soda.
Count: Sure thing, I know you need it.
Thanks.

[Erine81981]

Hey there guys and girls. Me, Clifford and the monsters thought ya'll could use some more company.

Clifford: Hey there dudes and dudets.

Waiter Grover: Hey there guys. I will be your waiter for this evening. What can I get for you?

Cookie M: Me have cookie on rye bread.

Herry: I will take the speggitt and meatballs.

I guess I'll take a chicken fried stake.

Clifford: Hamburger with everything on it.

Waiter Grover: Do you you need anything else? *points to everyone else*

[Katzi428]

OK Waiter Grover...I'll have a small plate of lasagna with a Dr. Pepper,please
Prairie:And I'll have a bacon cheeseburger with onion rings on the side.Plus a chocolate shake..

[The Count]

Thanks... We just finished our meals, fright guys?
Count and UD: Fright.

[Erine81981]

OK Waiter Grover...I'll have a small plate of lasagna with a Dr. Pepper,please
Prairie:And I'll have a bacon cheeseburger with onion rings on the side.Plus a chocolate shake..
Waiter Grover: You got it sisters. Charlie we need another hot plate of rings and pig with mud all over it....*goes through the door*

He's such a good waiter.

[Erine81981]

Thanks... We just finished our meals, fright guys?
Count and UD: Fright.
What desserts do you have for tonight's specials?
Waiter Grover: Lets see. We have cake....cake and more cake. What would you like?

[The Count]

Heh...
UD: A slice of good old devilfood cake for me please.
Count: Hmmm, I'll have a serving of that deliciously creamy Trick-Oreo-Treat cookie cake.
Me: And I'll have... Let me try the Monster Mash nana nutter butter cake, served in a bowl of course.
UD and Count: A glass of milk for us.
Me: And a glass of milk for me as well.

Thanks Grover.

[The Count]

*Stretching in bed... Ah, that was a great night we had last night at Everybody Eats.
Count: Yes, so many friends ve counted on who showed up.
Hey, where's Uncle D?
Count: Oh, I think he's rattling a few authors to post some more story.
Hmmm, well... OK I guess.
Count: He's at Sara's now... Hope she doesn't pull the same disappearing act as her Scooter did.
Yes, that'd be far too long to hear from her. There's also Beth's and Java's stories...
Count: Not to mention your own.
Fright, just don't have anything for the next chapter. Maybe some of our fellow auteurs can help. Personally, I'm kind of waiting to see what Catherine comes up with next for her tale before putting any thoughts to my own fictional plottings.
Count: Yes, and there's Leyla's in the library as vell. So many good stories to read, I get swept up in them more than counting them.
Good. Come on, let's get some breakfast, maybe some updates'll get posted by the time we're finished eating.

[Erine81981]

Ahhhh what a good night I had. *gets out of bed and washes up* Breakfest time! *fixes some bacon and egg*

Grover: *yawns* Good morning Kyle.

Good morning Grover. *sits down a plate for Grover*

Grover: Thank you.

Herry: I smell eggs and bacon.

Your right Herry. *sits down a plate for Herry*

Herry: Thank you Kyle.

Welcome. You too Grover. Cookie Monster your breakfest is up.

Cookie M: Coming. Dum de dum dum...*surprised gasp*...me favoirte! Cookie eggs and bacon. *eats the whole thing plus the plate too* That taste good. Thank you Kyle.

Welcome Cookie Monster. *sits downs and eats*

[The Count]

At the reading room...
UD: Ah, that was a fine chapter Beth wrote. Now then... How does one work this new-fangled muffin cannon? Hmmm, mayhaps a prod from the nagging stick would be better. Then again, I am the Phantom of the Muppet Show... *Aside: and the MC Dorms. Should be able to rattle Miss Sara's chains to get her to post some more story. But she was generous enough in writing that deliciously dreadful story where I met my long-lost Eleanor again.
*Heads off to Room #22, politely knocking on the door. Uh Scooter? Sara? Anybody there? Just wanted to know if more of the girl's FR fanfic will get posted soon. Positively loathe a good story, and good stories are what I live off of here in these doomed dorms.
Oh well... I'll be rooming with Edward for a while before Ryan comes back, if you need a consultation or if you need to spook to me about the stories.
*Trundles back downstairs.

[Erine81981]

Grover: *asleep on the coach* Zzzzzzzzzz...zzzzzz...

Herry: I can't wait for the party this afternoon at Kyle's sister's house.

Cookie M: Me either. Me hope to see cake.

Herry: I think there will be.

Yes there will. Ya'll do have your swim trunks?

Herry & Cookie M: Yes.

Good. Remember if I fall asleep before 5 or 6 wake me.

Herry: You got it.

I'm going to do some reading in the Reading Room.

Cookie M: See you soon.

Herry: Let's watch some TV.

Cookie M: Cookie channel.

Herry: You mean cooking channel.

Cookie M: Whatever.

[TogetherAgain]

Lisa: <Walks in with two backpacks on, and dragging a suitcase> Hey, I remember this place... <Sigh,> Home sweet home. What a long six weeks. I can't wait to get all caught up with everything here, but- well. I'll drop my bags off first... <Enters room 24> I hope Nyssa isn't too upset that I didn't get to write her, since I couldn't find any stamps. I'll have to hand-deliver this postcard... Later, though... <Writes a brief note, tapes it to the door of room 24, and leaves.>

Note reads:
Hey guys, I'm back! I had SO much fun in Poland and Israel. I mean, more fun in Israel, since Poland was pretty much all about the Holocaust, but anyway. I'm back, and I can't wait to get caught up with everything- you guys have been BUSY! But unfortunately, I probably won't be around much the next couple of days. My grandfather passed away last night, so I'll be spending a lot of time with my family. The funeral is tomorrow... So I'll see you around, but I'm... I'm here, but I'm not here. If that makes any sense. But why make sense when it's more profitable to make dollars?
See ya,
Lisa
Toga
TogetherAgain
That one really crazy girl who write fanfic and hasn't been around for about six weeks...

[The Count]

Huh? Whaz zat? My inner Muppet Dorm senses are tingling...

*Heads upstairs. Yaeeeeeyyyy!!!!

Let the insanity reign! And ye shall be baffled!
Liiiiissssaaaa! *Shouts downstairs and then through the PA.
Lisa's back!!!

Hey, come on... Pull up a chair and a mug of whatever you want to drink. Oh, look out.
*Muffin lands in Lisa's lap. That's something new we came up, a muffin-launching cannon... Guess we still have that thing from the Danglishes thread. You'd be proud of us there in that thread.

And the stories... Man, it's been crazy wild with new authors here. But come on, tell us about it all.
Please... Ish?

[redBoobergurl]

Beth: Hey Robin, guess what?
Robin: What?
Beth: Lisa's back!
Robin: She is?
Beth: Well, she checked in briefly and will officially be back in a couple of days. She has to go to her grandpa's funeral tomorrow
Robin: oh...that's sad. I'll have to give her extra hugs when I see her
Rowlf: I'm sure she'll appreciate that. I'm looking forward to seeing her.
Beth: Me too

[RedDragon]

LISA!!!!!

<runs across hallway and glamps Lisa to the floor>

Wait that's not a glamp that's a tackle...oh well...WELCOME BACK!

[Erine81981]

That was fun.

Herry: I couldn't agree more. I had an awsome time.

Grover: Ooooo me and Lyndi played some basketball together. We had fun.

I saw that Grover. She enjoyed it too.

Cookie M: Me and the birthday girl had fun too.

Ya'll two were surfing on the water. Well not really surfing but ya'll were kind of surfing. You almost got to close to the cake too Cookie Monster.

Cookie M: Me hungry.

Didn't you eat something before we left?

Cookie M: Nope.

Herry: He did eat the box tho.'

Cookie M: Seeee me not that bad. Me good trashcan too.

Oooh Cookie Monster...I'm going to go take me a bath.

Herry: I'm next.

Grover: I am third.

Cookie M: Me always last. What big deal with that?

[The Count]

Leyla honey... *Leans in to whisper rather conspiratorily.
I'll let you in on a little secret... Lisa's back, today.

And you've simply got to go through the last two or so chapters... You'll find the Hollywood agent, a man in charge of the frog legs restaurant, and a certain female paramour of the frog you and Catherine are simply crazy about.
*Gives Leyla a small poke with the nagging stick... Just reminding you to update your own story.

[Muppet Matt]

Huh? Whaz zat? My inner Muppet Dorm senses are tingling...

*Heads upstairs. Yaeeeeeyyyy!!!!
Matt: *Wakes up* Huh? What was that?

Dr. Teeth: I'm not sure.

Lips: Lets go find out!

Animal: FIND OUT!!!!!!! LOUD NOISE!!!!!

*Heads to where Lisa, Ed and the rest of the gang who woke up are*

Matt: Look! Lisa's back!

Dr: Teeth: This calls for a party!

Lips: In the middle of the night?

Dr. Teeth: Sure! Why not?:D

Matt: Well, lets go welcome her back and tell her we're sorry about her Grandpa.

*All go and welcome Lisa back*

[redBoobergurl]

Umm, I don't know if you guys noticed, but she did tack a note up saying she was leaving again for a little bit because her grandfather died. So she's back, but not back, if that makes any sense. Just thought I'd point that out.

Mokey: I finished the sympathy card
Red: Oh it's beautiful
Beth: All right, we'll all sign it, and give it to her along with these flowers
Cantus: They are lovely
Robin: Thanks for letting us stay here guys
Rowlf: We had a good time
*hugs are given all around*
Beth: Come back anytime you two, we enjoyed having you

[The Count]

Well... That's why I replied when she turned around just after posting that note on her room's door.
BTW: Sorry about my previous post, a bit of a mix-up with the thread where that should've gone.

Sure hope Clifford's having a good time with Kyle, guess he's been chillin' out for a few.
*Signs card for Lisa, welcoming her back and saying how sorry we are about her grandpa's death.
UD: Ah... Death, a subject near and dear to my...
Count: Little black heart?
Heh, yeah... Now come on, we have a card and clear honey golden teddy bear to leave for Lisa.
