You know Kyle, I'm glad you brought that up. Haven't seen/read anything about the plans for this year's parade float appearances for the Muppets. Will be looking forward to it tomorrow morning.

OK, the turkeys are marinating, and the chestnuts have been boiled. Will peel those little suckers a bit later this morning. The pies are bought and stored in the ffridge, just have to put them in the microwave before serving.
The other veggies will go in for a boil tomorrow morning.
All I rully need help with is setting the table and the mashed potatoes. Will make the stuffing later today.

Hey Kyle, maybe you can get the SS gang to come by after the parade's done? Just a thought. Happy T-Day to everyone wherever you may be!

Haven't thought of that. I'll call Ernie and tell him to spread that word. *phones Sesame Street* Hey there Ernie. I know that ya'll we'll be on the float tomorrow morning. You think you and gang could make it by the dorms after the parade?

Ernie: I don't know why not. I'll spread that word Kyle. See ya'll tomorrow. Bye.

Count! Count! There you are. He said he would spread the word. So you better have alot. I have to go to the store. Come on Buddie.

*Pets Beauty, Kyle's cat.

Bye Beauty. Sure hope I might have a cat as a pet in the future.
Well, the chestnuts are peeled, got the sore fingers to prove it. My bats helped clawing off the peels from the ones I couldn't handle myself earlier this morning. Like I said, everything's pretty much taken care of. Just have to cook the turkeys tomorrow, make the stuffing with all the fright components, and put the veggies in to boil. Would also need help with the decorations/getting the place tidied up for the dinner.
Well, gonna work on a T-Day present for the rest of the forum now.

Oh sorry bout that. Kyle, you shoulda said something earlier. The talking cat doesn't bother me at all, you should meet Salem one of these days. But anyway, off to sleep.

Heh, afraid that the present won't be ready till weekend's end. Oh well. Happy T-Day to everyone.
Sure miss my MST3K Turkey Day marathon about now.

Moonstruck eh? That's a biew-tee-ful movie. Don't forget that NBC will be airing VMMCM later tonight as well. Looking forward to the Sesame Street entry for this year's parade.

OK, gotta clean up the dining room for all of us who are still here and will eat T-Day lunch.

The Count

The serving plates are all lined up on the counter.
Check.

The turkeys are cooked.

The veggies and side dishes are ready.

The individual plates are set in their places with cutlery and drinking glasses filled with water.

Erine81981

11-25-2004, 08:16 PM

I missed the float. (being out here in the country we can't get our channels that we normaly watch the parade) Oh well since we now have CBS on our satelite I'll be able to see it next year.

Herry, Cookie and Grover walk through the door

Hey there guys. So how was it?

Grover:The same. I did enjoy seeing all the people that came out to see us and hanging w/ my friends too.

Cookie M: Me had great time. Me mommy had cookies for everyone on the float.

Herry: Thanks by the way Cookie for those cookies. Oh Kyle you wouldn't believe what happed.

What? :excited:

Herry: I fianlly got to see the Garfield float. It was neat.

I'm gald ya'll had a great time. Oh by the way this Sunday, me, my sis, nieces and brother-in-law our going to see Sesame Street Live. I didn't know if ya'll wanted to go?

Grover: Sure. Since I'm not in this one.

Herry: I don't think I'm either.

Cookie M: Me know me is. Its called "1 2 3......Imagine!" You going to like it Kyle. So will you Herry and Grover.

I know I'll love it since I'm a big fan. I'm going to eat some leftovers. Anyone wants any?

Monsters: We'll take alot! *each lick their lips*

The Count

11-25-2004, 08:58 PM

Hi guys, glad to finally see you at last.

Hi JFS, hope you have a "Feliz Día de Acción de Gracias".
Kyle, you didn't miss that much. It was a lovely float designed to look like the brownstone 1-2-3 apartment. The gang was there singing the song "The Street I Live On" from the Season 35 premiere/special.
What I'm upset with is how long they made me wait till the SS gang showed up on the parade schedule. Normally, they're out in the first hour and I'm glad all over after watching it. And that Kurrik woman couldn't keep her facts straight, misquoting the people who spoke before her.

Ah well, you're lucky I'm still up working on the listings. Made some errors with my files, and I'm starting the thing all over again with the stats done tediously but carefully.
Come on, I'll get you guys some T-Day leftovers. Might as well brake to recharge my batteries and get a glass of milk and cookies.

You coming Cookie Monster?
*Leave singing C is for Cookie.

OK then, let's go.
The Breakfast Song's in my memory, but I don't know it by heart nor do I know the music to hum to.
Oh well, some cookies and milk for Cookie Monster... or would you prefer some cookie juice?
And a bowl of cereal with juice for me, unless all we got is Crystal Light.
Well, hope everyone has a good few days off from work and school.

JaniceFerSure

11-26-2004, 09:52 AM

Me want a soft boiled cookie
And a glass of cookie juice on the side
Or for a change one morning
Me will have cookies scrambled or fried

It isn't hard each morning
To keep me satisfied
Just give me a soft-boiled cookie
And a glass of cookie juice on the side

Sometimes I have a bowl of some crunchy cereal
I'd even have some orange juice too
On other days my favorite is boiled eggs and toast
And sometimes a stack of pancakes is the breakfast I love most

I'd drink a glass of milk or a cup of cocoa
Or even have a cup of tea
So many things a fella can eat for breakfast
That's why breakfast is so much fun for me

JFS: Is this the breakfast tune you're talking about Count? I'll take some leftovers for lunch,thanks. I'll probably do some reading today(Children of Dune &/or The Godfather Returns).

The Count

11-26-2004, 11:47 AM

And my songbird comes through yet again. Thanks JFS, that's the one.
OK, will heat up some leftovers for you. Does the band want anything or are they still perusing the penumbras of their private dreamscapes?
Well, should be a bit quiet round here for a while. Mokey's visiting with the other Fraggles down in Fraggle Rock, she'll be back next week. Gonna keep working on the ML, hopefully waiting for S9 to arrive at my local stores later today or tomorrow.

The bats are excited cause there's a new project that'll give them a chance to be counted, but you won't hear them making any noises now cause they're sleeping through the day. Lucky night creatures.
Hope you like the food you guys, and have a good weekend.

Thanks Ed but I've already had mine. Thanks any way.

Grover: When do we start decorating for christmas?

I don't know? When do we start Ed.

The Count

11-26-2004, 04:12 PM

Oh, let's give it a week till we start thinking bout Christmas. Hope Sweetums and Barry will be here to bring in the tree.
Well, might have some leftovers myself a bit later.
Have a good night everyone.

The Count

Hey guys, I'm going to sleep now. Ah, blessed sleep. Twill do me some good after working on the listings all night long. Gotten up to the J's, still got a long way to go before posting Version 14.
At least two little ghouls showed up on my doorstep today, from some recent action figure purchases. Hoping that my local stores will get S9 tomorrow.
Have a pleasant sleep and a good night to all!

Erine81981

11-27-2004, 10:57 AM

Had a scrumptious not so quiet day. Thanks for asking. I can't wait to have another wonderful Christmasy year w/ my friends. Hope you enjoy being w/ us this year Dee. Oh I've got to talk to Ed about the new christmas play we'll be doing this year. Talk to you later Dee.

JaniceFerSure

11-27-2004, 05:34 PM

JFS: Thanks for the feedback Kyle. A play,hmm... Only play I was ever in was first grade(no joke),where we performed Hansel and Gretel.My part was to hold the left side of the fireplace(so when the witch was thrown in it,the fireplace wouldn't move). Glad you had a good Thanksgiving Kyle.<reading Children of Dune & watching the John Denver Wildlife concert on tv>

Floyd: Hey J,have you noticed its gotten a little bit chilly here in the dorms? <putting on long johns underneath pjs>

JFS: Well,winter-time is almost here Floyd.Its just that time of the year.

Dr. Teeth: Send up the heat.<he he he>

Zoot: My sax sounds like its growing icicles.

JFS: I don't think that's remotely possible Zoot.

Oh, what's this on my doorstep? Oh, nice, a neat little pack from JFS. Aw, that's so nice of her. Must thank her some way.
Hmmm, I wonder...

Well, I'll give you guys an update later, gonna get something to eat and keep working. Heh, I picked this weekend for a reason, to stuff my list with all the updates. The reason it's going slowly is cause I have to redo the stats file at the same time. Well, have a good time and a great weekend here at the dorms.

Erine81981

Thats was awsome! Ya'll were great.

Grover: Sorry Kyle that I didn't appear in it.

Thats ok Grover. I still had the time of my life.

Cookie M: Oh all those cookies me searched for ohhhh me tummy.

Cookie I told you not to ear to much.

Herry: You did a great job Cookie. Thanks for the tour backstage.

Yea! Now that when I had the funnest time. Seeing Big Bird, Ernie, Bert and the rest.

Have ya'll come up with anything for the Christmas Dorm play yet?

Grover: I've been working on it since yesterday.

Good work Grover. Keep up the good work. Going on to the tubs. See ya'll there.

Speaking of the Macy's parade...Why don't the Muppets have a float??? I know the Sesame gang have one but... Oh well I'm just thinking too much.

Me: Oh my gosh, do we have a story to tell you!

Link: Oh, it was terrible! Awful! Horrific! And it wasn't any fun!

Me: Yeah, we got stranded on the island of Hexed Turkeys.

Link: Yeah...Zombie Turkeys!!!!

Me: Fortunately, Link and I had packed forks and stuffing. We managed to eat our way out.

Link: Zombie Turkeys are tough to chew.

Me: Yeah, but we managed, right Linky-babe?

Link: Oh yeah!

Me: If anyone's interested, we have leftover Zombie Turkey Casserole. It will be in the fridge. Feel free to stop by and be sure to stick around to hear the horrible tale in its entirety.

Link: I just hope I didn't miss too much homework!

Me: Right now, all I want to do is sl...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Intresting. I'd like to hear your story. But I'll pass on the leftovers. I'm absolutely stuffed.

G-MAN

11-29-2004, 05:40 PM

Me:They have tubs here?
Rizzo:Yeah, they built them while you were in South Dakota. I would have told you sooner, but after all of the adventures that we've been on, I just forgot.
Me: Oh, well lets go then. (they rush off)

The Count

11-29-2004, 06:10 PM

Well... we don't have an area here at the dorms as convaluted as either bathtub or hottub threads, but there is a pool area located behind the main dormhouse. You might find it quite easily, especially after Kyle and the Monsters put up that nice "Welcome to the Pools" sign.

McFraggle

11-29-2004, 09:44 PM

The pools need to be refilled again.

Erine81981

11-29-2004, 11:22 PM

The pools need to be refilled again.

Sorry about that Mc. Ah Count? Are the Doozers around? I figured they could build some kind of syetem of some kind to keep clean water flowing.

The Count

11-30-2004, 05:58 AM

Well... That's rully not their strong suit. But someone else should be able to install a permanently-fixed filter into the pool's walls and conceal it out of sight quite easily.
Hope everyone's doing fine on this last day of November.

christyb

11-30-2004, 09:38 AM

Hmm....That sounds like a job for Bunsen and Beaker. That and Scooter's old computer. Hey buddy you still got that thing in your closet.
;) : Yep. Whoever winds up fixing the pool and wants to use it for designing purposes let me know.

11-30-2004, 12:43 PM

Me:Hey, Kyle, maybe one of your roommates could call Biff and Sully from Sesame Street to come it to fix it?

You know G-Man they're the ones who built this building in the first place. Good idea. Grover?!

Grover: Yep?

Could you call Biff and Sully to help w/ the pool thing?

Grover: I'll do that. *calls Biff and Sully* Hey there Biff. Good to hear you too. Could I ask you and Sully to do something? Sure. Could ya'll come down here and fix the new pool? You can! Thanks. See ya'll later. *hangs phone up* They said it would be tomorrow. That fine?

Thats fine by me. Now I've got to get to the pool to stop the Doozers. *races off to the pool*

Me:Um, Christy, I don't think you have to worry about Animal.

christyb

12-01-2004, 01:10 PM

I wondered why there was a hole in the cabinet. Well rather you than Animal, Rizzo. I don't think you can do too much damage to the dorms. Now I know what I'm getting you for Christmas.

Erine81981

12-01-2004, 03:49 PM

Biff: So where is it?

Just around the building. There's some signs to fallow.

Biff: Thanks Kyle. Sully once made some signs for a road block. Tell'em Sully. *slaps Sully on the chest*

Sully's about to say something then Biff keeps going on w/ the story.

Biff: Yea made it all by himself. Couldn't believe it worked. Come on Sully tell him. *Biff keeps going on* Then someone brakes the sign. Poor Sul. I felt sorry so I me Biff makes him a new sign. Oh thats a good one Sully. Come on we can't keep this gentleman from his time.

*Sully shrugs*

Ok guys. *shuts door* And I thought they were pretty funny guys growing up. *whew*

Heh, don't worry about it Christy. I already told Kyle and the Monsters that we could start decorating the place around this weekend. If Barry and Sweetums don't report in to get the Christmas tree, I might have to send a few of my bigger monster bats to do the job for us.
Hope everyone has a good night's sleep.

I'm doing laundry & making choc. chip biscotti later. Call me if you need help with any of the xmas decorating,baking or whatnot. Hope your week was a good one,talk to you later.<leaving out to the kitchen>

The Count

12-04-2004, 12:27 PM

Thanks, I needed that JFS. Well, the wreaths are already hung up and over the outer facade of the dormhouse. The Christmas tree needs to be bought and set up, not to mention the additional decorations like garlands and stockings and little streamers of blinking lights.
But the others will come in and help with that during the week. If not, then I'll summon the bats and get their help. Regarding the current project with the bats, it frustrates me sometimes that I can't make up my mind. Got these ideas and I know they're good, but I keep going over it and sometimes I end up hitting my head against the whole thing.
Sorry for the ramble, guess I should just stick with one plan of action and go with it. Mayhaps there'll be something to report soon, after I'm done with all my classes.
Hope everyone has fun at the dorms this weekend, as we get our chores and Christmas decorating done.

Gonna get some food now, anyone want something?

The S's were hung by the T's with care.
Oh sorry, guess you guys aren't familiar with the story of St. Alphabet.
Well, never mind, just suffice it to say that the stockings are in place on the sides of the furnaces in the common rooms. That way, we can still use the dumbwaiter without knocking them down each time.
The strands of lights are now working and decorating the lobby desk, and some additional decor's out in the lobby itself.
The place is looking nice, and it'll be even better with the trees. Hey, everyone should get something to hang on the tree's branches to show off the festive holiday mood here in the dorms. That is, if you guys want to.

Well, here's hoping for a vonderful holiday season this 2004.

Hi guys, sure is nice to see the holidays in full bloom here at the dorms.
As for stockings... Mokey's is the one with snow-covered radishes around the trim of the sock. Mine's the one with the numbers 1, 2, 3, and a couple of bats riding on snowflakes.
Did you guys see the Christmas tree up in the common room? Thought it'd be a nice idea if we all contributed some ornaments for the tree, to show our dormhouse's unity.

Hi JFS, glad to see you're doing fine. Uh, what Christmas party? Do we have to bring anything special? Where's it taking place?
Well, I'll leave you with a merry thought, it's getting closer to Christmas every day now.
Ah ha! 20 mugs of hot chocolate for the dormhouse boarders! Hope you like the hot chocolate guys.

So the role play thread is the party. Boy could that get confusing for me err...Kermit. LoL. So I won't be at the party but Kermit will be. So if I get character confused between the two be patient with me.

Things are starting to look great around here. You can really start to feel the peace of the season (ok so I stole that from Kermit).

Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah
The sweet celebration
Around the feast we gather
in complete jubilation

Many are the reasons for good cheer
Now that the Season of Lights is here
Many are the reasons for good cheer
Now that the Season of Lights is here

Together we'll weather
whatever tomorrow may bring
So hear us rejoicing and merrily voicing
the Hanukkah song that we sing
So hear us rejoicing and merrily voicing
the Hanukkah song that we sing

Oh Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah
The Festival of Joy
A holiday, a jolly day
for every girl and boy
Whirling dreidels all week long
Eating latkes, singing songs
Whirling dreidels all week long
Eating latkes, singing songs

Now light them, tonight then
The candles all in a row
Retell the story of God in his glory
and dance by the flickering glow
Retell the story and God in his glory
dance by the flickering glow

Uh Ed? I wanted to ask you if Garfield, Odie, Nermal and Arlene could stay, while the monsters are away at the Muppet Christmas Party. Is that ok?See Jon asked me if I could take care of Odie and Garfield while he's away. I figured that he would of stowed away but he didn't seem to mind staying w/ me. On then Jon's folks asked me if I could keep Nermal since they would be going away for the christmas w/ Jon and Dr. Liz. So I said I'll see what I could do but they left before I could tell them that I might not be able to keep them. Then Arlene came over and heard that Garfield would be here and thats where I've been stuck ever since. Sorry for the ramble.

Well... I'll tell you what pal.
Since there's no other option, and the cat's folks already split town...
And since the cat and I are old friends...
The cat and his friends can stay, just make sure you keep 'em under control. Oh yeah, and make sure it's just those four. No sneaking in the Buddy Bears or the gang from the farm, comprende?
Now come on, let's get to the party HQ and help out BethC with the festivities.

12-08-2004, 09:27 AM

Heh, don't worry about that Christyb. Since I have a copy of the register available at the lobbby's desk, and the latest updated version memorized, there's no worries of getting the boarders here mixed up with any other games they might be playing at the campus's varying locals.

Just remember to have fun here at the dorms, and recommend us to any friends interested in signing up for the dorms.
(Further elaborating on my side note) - Thanks Count. But I was talking about confusing myself. So If I start typing in that I'm Kermit here well...Forgive me and be patient. I'll probably realize it soon and remedy it.

*back to the game though....

Alright guys here's my stocking- red and fuzzy on the bottom with a white trim (you know traditional looking) but with coffee cups and muppet characters embrodiered on the border.

;) : And here's mine. Traditional like Christy's but also with computers and clipboards on the trim.

Why am I not surprised? Welcome to the Dorms Garfield and Friends. Hope you enjoy your visit.

Dr. Teeth: Nice menorah you have there Dee.

Don't watch it as regularly as I used to, but it's up there at the top of my list along with Whose Line is it Anyway?, MST3K, and various others.

There'll be so much to treasure about this Christmas day and the fun we've had

So may happy feelings to celebrate with you
And, oh, the good time hurry by so fast,
But even when it's over there's something you can do to make Christmas last:


Keep Christmas with you
All through the year,
When Christmas is over,
You can keep it near.

<JFS>
Think of this Christmas day
When Christmas is far away.


Keep Christmas with you
All through the year,
When Christmas is over,
Save some Christmas cheer.
These precious moments,
Hold them very dear
And keep Christmas with you
All through the year.

<Zoot>
Christmas means the spirit of giving
Peace and joy to you,

<Dr. Teeth>
The goodness of loving,
The gladness of living;
These are Christmas too.

Hold them very dear
And keep Christmas with you

Oh well, glad to know that you guys are almost finished with your papers too. Mine was for a seminar on topics dealing with and/or stemming from the various Middle East conflicts. Chose to do mine on the mistake it was for Pres. Bush to go to war with Iraq.
Though I have to say I'm in a bit of a better mood now that I've got some of Bobby Darren's music in my head.

You know that that shark has.
Sharp teeth, yeah.
And he shows off

Just a jack-knife
Has old Mac Heath, yeah.
And he keeps it,
Out of sight.

Somewhere beyond the sea,
Somewhere, waiting for me,
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing;

Somewhere beyond the sea,
He's (She's) there watching for me.
If I could fly like birds on high,
Then straight to his (her) arms I'd go sailing.

It's far beyond a star,
It's near beyond the moon,
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon.

We'll meet beyond the shore,
We'll kiss just as before.
Happy we'll be beyond the sea,
And never again I'll go sailing!

*Returning to the dormhouse and entering the common room.

Ha, it's great to be done with everything. Handed in both written works earlier this afternoon, and I'm done for this semester. Got half the number of creds now for my Doctorate at Law, at least if both professors validate the credits for having taken the courses. Well, had a vonderful B-Day, thanks to all the well-wishers who sent greetings and tidings of good cheer on that festive day. Opened up the Backstage Playset and built up in a place of honor in the collection. And it'll get better since I'll open up my S9 figures and add them to the collection too on Christmas. Just one item left and the family will truly be home for the holidays.
Have a safe sleep everyone, and happy holidays to all.

Zoot: Yeah,its going slow,like me.<chuckling>


Raining Like Magic:

It's raining like magic

Ferns are rejoicing
And the trees are all singing
Hey - It's raining life

On this glorious rain-drumming evening
Hey, hey
I feel like dancing
All night long

I will sail a friendly course
File a friendly chart
On a sea of love and a thankful heart
Life is like a journey
Who knows when it ends?
Yes, and if you need to know
The measure of a man
You simply count his friends
Stop and look around you
The glory that you see
Is born again each day
Don't let it slip away
How precious life can be
With a thankful heart that is wide awake
I do make this promise
With every breath I take
Will be used now to sing your praise
(Used now to sing your praise)
And beg you to share my days
With a loving guarantee
That even if we part
I will hold you close in a thankful heart
I will hold you close in a thankful heart
In a thankful heart

*Going over register. And it pleases me to say that your choices are indeed available as roommates.
*Greets Vic Romano, Bert, Ernie, Uncle Deadly (MC), and Pepe.
OK guys, I'll grab the keys and show you to your rooms.

Let's go!

*Leads new boarders through two sets of doors, the first separates the lobby and the stairwell, the second opens up to the hallway with the dorm rooms.
You'll notice that big room in front of you, that's the Common Room and there's one on each floor of this grand old dormhouse. OK, now we'll just turn to our right... And it should be... Ah yes, the third door on our right.
Here we are at Room #20. *Hands key to Uncle Deadly (MC) and Pepe. Hope you guys enjoy your stay, Christyb and Scooter are in Room #18 which is next to yours. And McFraggle and Kermit and Sam the Eagle are in Room #21, diagonally across from yours. My bats or Aaron will be by later with your luggage.
OK, let's go downstairs to Room #5 now.

*Leads Vic and Bert and Ernie to their room. OK guys, we could reach Floor 1 or the basement floor by going back out to the stairwell and going down the stairs. But there's a quicker way, and a way I suspect Ernie might like better.
*Leads guests to the Common Room. You see this fireplace here in the back right corner of the Common Room? Well, I'll tell you a secret. There's one on every floor, and that's because these furnaces have a dumbwaiter elevator we all use to get from floor to floor.
*Presses button and dumbwaiter elevator opens up. OK, down we go.
*Arrives at Floor 1 Common Room and all leave the furnace. Now we just need turn to our left, and it'll be.. ah yes... the third door on our left.
*Hands key to Vic Romano. Hope you guys have a good time here at the dorms. You might note a few things. The room diagonally across yours to your left is the Laundry Room, and the one diagonally across yours to your right is Room #4 inhabited by Kevin and Fozzie Bear. Also, the room that Mokey and I share is the first one in this wing of the dormhouse after turning to the left when exiting the Common Room. If you need anything, knock or leave a note on the door or at the lobby's desk. One of my bats will spot it and LMK. Speaking of which, a bat or two or maybe Aaron our resident bellboy might be here later with your luggage.
Again, I extend a warm welcome to our newest boarders, and hope you have a great time herre.

Oh yes, before I forget, as soon as you new guys are settled in your respective rooms... Please give us a descript of how you envision your rooms to look like, catering to the tastes/needs of both yourselves and your particular roommates. It's your room, so you guys have free license to decorate it as you see fit. Hope this helps and have a great time.

Well, hope my little ones helped you out Bert. Now maybe you can run off and join the others at the pool for the water fight. Just stay clear of my Hydra Zord, I'm there to police the fight and make sure things don't get out of control.
Heh, I just know Ernie took his Rubber Duckie with him to the pools to help Vic. Well, have fun and hope to see you guys back here soon.

And here I thought you were going to have a quiet night in your room JFS. Well, hope you and the band rock on into the joyousness of the New Year. Will probably watch some TV in a little while, Grim Adventures and then my Monday Night ritual.
Mokey: "Welcome to all the new boarders here at the dorms, hope you have a very pleasant time during your stay."
Good night everyone, and here's to...

Bert - Ernie will you knock that off!
Vic - Hey Bert, here's more laundry for you old buddy! It's all wet towels and clothes from the water fight at the pool!
Bert - Vic, I can't...
Ernie - Bert! Would you mind not yelling? I can't hear JaniceFerSure!
Bert - Ernie, I...
Vic - Bert, you're dripping water all over the floor and the Count's bats just helped clean everything up, try and be more careful, will ya'?

Glad to have you here Ernie and Bert. *shakes hands w/ Vic* Glad to have you too Vic. The Monsters are glad to see more of there SS friends board here.

Hey over there UD and Pepe. What up?!

The Count

01-03-2005, 10:09 PM

*Comes back from the pools. The water fight's over? Hmm, just as well. Gonna put these clothes in the hamper and change for bed. Just hope I can take some more pics of my new figures tomorrow. Once that's taken care of, I can move on to other things I need to do to get my shelves in order.
You know, I thought Katsy428 and a friend of hers would be moving in here too, guess we'll just have to wait and see. Wish everyone a good night's sleep.

Ernie - Oh hey Cookie Monster! Hi Grover! Nice to see you too Herry! And it's a pleasure to meet you Erine81981! Hey your name is like mine only with numbers! *snickers*
Vic - Hi Erine81981! Thanks for the warm welcome, and it's nice to meet all you blue monsters too!
Bert - Hey Ernie, Vic? I put all my bottlecaps from my bottlecap collection on the shelf in our room, but now they're gone and covered with all the Palisades action figures! Where are my bottle caps!?
Vic - Oh it's okay Bert, we just moved 'em under the triple bunkbeds for now.
Bert - But there's a whole other shelf there that's completely empty! Why can't my bottle caps go there!?
Ernie - Well that's where the Sesame Street action figures from Palisades are going to go when they come out, Bert. That shelf is reserved!
Bert - *sigh* I think I'd rather live with the monsters!

The Count

01-04-2005, 09:57 AM

Morning all. *Whispers to Vic, if it's easier for you Erine81981's better known as Kyle round these parts.
Anyway, glad to see that someone else is thinking forward the same way I am. Got the double shelving unit in my room set up with the Muppets figures on the left, and the shelves on the right mostly freed up for the Sesame Street figures. Of course, I also use those for taking pics with my brother, but I can always move everything around and put it back in place later. As an added feature of our room, I have those shelving units tucked inside a walk-in closet, so if you wanna come by and take a look sometime just LMK and we can take a step inside my inner sanctum.

Hey Bert, sorry about your bottlecap collection getting shoved aside. Maybe you can ask for an extra shelf for your own things? Or maybe you can place a nail in the wall on your side of the room and hang the bottlecap collection proudly for all to see. Going to sort some things at the castle, be back in a few secs.

Vic Romano

01-04-2005, 10:21 AM

As the room looks now:
On the left wall; Mostly shelving units displaying Muppet Action figures and other memorabilia shared between Ernie and I. Against this wall is a three seater sofa, covered in laundry. Mostly damp towels and blue jeans.
On the back wall;
Hanging by the window are blue prints, top secret mission briefs, lists of equipment and character bios pertaining to the big puppet heist at the JHC as planned by Uncle Deadly, Vic Romano, Christyb and Beauregard.
On the right wall;
Three person bunkbeds, the top two cluttered with toys, video games and food (the top two are Ernie's and Vic's) the neat and tidy bottom one is Berts. Underneath the bed are a rather large collection of bottle caps. Next to the tall bed is a dresser, overpouring with clothes. On top of it is Ernie's Rubber Duckie, garlic cloves and scented oils taken from the bath tub and a huge supersoaker used regularly at the pool. The door to the bathroom is barely accessible from the large mess of which Bert seems to usually be struggling with.
On the first wall;
Next to the door is a poster of Phil Chapman and a "bat trap" as Ernie and Vic desire to catch one of the Count's bats to play with (and then give back to the Count, of course).

Vic Romano

01-04-2005, 10:23 AM

The Count

01-04-2005, 10:36 AM

You know... not so much bothered by the garlic oils you have or the fact you want to catch one of my bats. What intrigues me is this planned puppet heist? If you feel more comfortable talking about it by PM, then go ahead. Not sure what the four of you are planning, and yet it makes me slightly curious.
Anyway, you remember I said you had the dorm's Laundry Room near to your own room? Well, if you head down the opposite direction when leaving the Floor 1 Common Room and head all the way down that corridor, you'll find that floor's Bathrooms on the last door down on your lefthand side.
Hope that helps some and hope there's a space there in your windowbox for some stray Twiddlebugs.

Link: What? Who? Why?

Me: Because I think we slept in.

Link: What time is it?

Me: About 10:30 AM.

Link: Yeah, we slept in.

Me: Let me get online and see what's going on in the world. Hmmm...January 4th eh? Must be mistaken. I'm gonna check Muppet Central...they always have accurate information. Wait a tic...

Link: Is it really January fourth?

Me: Yeah, but even more interesting...Palisades is to make Sesame Street figures!

Link: But it's January fourth?

Me: Yes.

Link: But we fell asleep in November!

The Count

01-04-2005, 11:41 AM

Thanks Vic, will check it out.

Hi Ryan, well, here's what's happened.
Bert and Ernie have moved in with Vic Romano as new boarders here, and Pepe has also moved in with the MC forum member known as Uncle Deadly.
You missed out on a great party over at Miss Piggy's place during the Christmas holidays, though Rowlf was there and he sent you his best regards.
As for the Palisades figures... good news and bad news.
The bad news is that the figure of Sal Manilla hasn't found a retailer home yet, and what would've been S10 the figures from Muppets Wizard of Oz were canned. Hoping that Ken can get them made and released, if even not in conjunction with the movie's debut. Though maybe other last-second items like the Vet's Hospital 3-Pack and/or the Muppet Babies take precedence.
The good news is that they'll be making Sesame Street figures to be released later this year. The 2005 Tour figure will be Super Grover with a telephone booth and rotary payphone accessory. You can switch the heads and remove his trenchcoat to change him from his Grover Kent disguise to his Super Grover persona.
The S1 lineup has been announced as being Ernie, Oscar, Guy Smiley and the Two-Headed Monster. The most talked-about figure has been Oscar and the plans for his figure. The figure's body will be stuck in the trashcan, but it'll have a fully-detailed head and arms. The neat trick is that you can remove the arms and push the head down, and then put the trashcan lid to close the whole thing. And then you can attach his feet below the can to make it look as if he's moving while still inside.

Hope this helps and have a good day.

Vic Romano

01-04-2005, 12:43 PM

Bert - Hey, wait a minute! Why are they making a figure of Ernie first and not me!?
Vic - We've talked about this in the forums before Bert, and most of us agree with you that it's not fair.
Ernie - Yeah, old buddy, my figure's gonna' be pretty lonely on that shelf without your figure!
Vic - If it makes you feel any better Bert, there's no action figure of me either.
Bert - Not really, Vic.

01-04-2005, 01:18 PM

ok here is my room layout.
As you come in through the door you can see the sofa whoch is faced towards the television.
directly behind the sofa is the small kitchen area, and opposite the side of the kitchen is me and Pepe's king size bed.
beside my bed I have a file with folders and documents to do with our puppet raid invoving me Vic, Christy and Beauregard.
on the wall you can see as you come into the room, there are pictures of me and Pepe out partying and on our wacky adventures.
Like the time we went to the glue factory. ah, good times! You remember that Pepe?

Pepe- oh si, si good times ok, good times! :rolleyes:

The Count

01-04-2005, 02:40 PM

Hey, don't worry about it Bert. The folks over at Palisades know that you're an important guy and they'll probably have more to show us at Toy Fair in February this year. Ken hinted that they might have some tentative S2 and/or S3 lineups by then. Also hoping my namesake gets his figural due, but I'm willing to wait till then just basking in the collection and how great it'll look till then. Besides, you know that the figures will get made cause they have to add in the set pieces to make the diarama of the Street itself. Check out the last MIC article in the Palisades Club site from last year and you'll see what I mean.

Hey UD (MC) and Pepe, need any help with the party there in your room? When's it gonna be? Just hope you guys don't get carried away with the ruckus partying.
At least there'll be some sort of lingering holiday party vibes for now, Three Kings' Day on the 6th and the Fiesta de San Sebastian on the 15th.

Uncle deadly

01-04-2005, 02:51 PM

Yeh, could we get some snacks and stuff.

Pepe- Si, and could we get the electric mayhem to play at the party?

Oh and the swedish chef is comin to prepare the food!

01-04-2005, 03:15 PM

Well, as far as the snacks and appetizers, I can help you with that. Just tell me when and at what time and I'll do my best. As for the EM, you'll have to talk to JaniceFerSure about that.

Nice to see you back in the pink JFS. The other new boarders here are Vic Romano, who's moved in with both Bert and Ernie. Not sure if they're around at the moment, but you can say hi to them when you see them.

*Ernie looks down slightly disappointed as their names are no longer exactly the same*

Sorry about that Erine. If it makes you happy I'll let you call me by that name if you want too.

Cookie M: Any sign for me of being a dolly?

Grover: Not Dolly Cookie. An action figure.

Cookie M: Me call it dolly got it.

Grover: Ok if thats right.

Herry: If you need anything moved I'll be willing to help ya'll.

The Count

01-04-2005, 08:50 PM

Nope, none yet Cookie. Though the original plans from the folks at Fun-4-All who originally had the license did plan for a figur... er dolly in your likeness, with a plate of cookies and a letter C Muppet.
But now the even better folks at Palisades have the license, and I wouldn't be surprised if your dolly were an anchor figure for any of the next few series. Guess we'll have to wait till Toy Fare in February to know something, tentative though it may be. Then again, I wouldn't worry about it, they know what they're doing over there at that company. And in my humble opinion, they might use their Rowlf figure from the Backstage playset as a reference in terms of the body and/or height. Course, the head would have to be changed, but I think it's a viable option.
Rully excited at the thought of getting Cabin Boy Gonzo and Rizzo and Super Grover this March.

Bert is currently taking care of the laundry, but Ernie and I heard a loud crash, like a vending machine fall over and spill out snacks, so we're gonna' go check it out. On our way there though, Ernie said he was gonna' go ask Kyle (who he insists calling Ernie81981!) and the rest of the monsters staying with them if they wanna' check it out with us.

Well a big old welcome to Vic Romano, Uncle Deadly, Bert, Ernie and Pepe. I'm still pretty groggy, and still not sure why Link and I both had the Van Winkle thing going. I'm going to write those guys at Nabisco and see just what they put in those new mint Oreos.

Link: But they sure are tasty (goes for one)

Vic - Back off, man! I need an oreo fix!!! So Docnzhoss, Link, nice to see you! Thanks for the welcome, Ah, I see you have oreos laced with something intriguing, may we have one?

The Count

01-05-2005, 10:00 AM

Well, it's a bit of a bitter-sweet day here in the dorms. As most of you know, Mokey Fraggle's been my roomie since the beginning, from all the waaaaay back when the dorms first started. Well, it's been a great treat having her as my roommate, but someone else is hopefully moving into the dorms soon and Mokey thinks it's time for a change. So, I'm letting her stay with me till her new roommate shows up, if that person still wants to join us here at the dorms and have her as their roommate.

As for me, I'll be OK, cause the master of mathematics and the king of counting will be reunited at long last. Yeah, as soon as Mokey moves in with her new bunkmate, the Count von Count will grace the dorms with his presence and become my new partner in counting crime.
So, hope everyone else has a great day, waiting to see what happens next.

01-05-2005, 10:27 AM

These Oreos are probably gonna put you to sleep for quite some time...though I can't be for sure. It could have been that Holiday Spice Pepsi or some other strange mutation creation that we had never tried before. If you want these mint Oreos, here you go...eat them at your own risk, bwa-ha-ha!

Well, the weather's somewhat uncooperative at the moment, hope the rain dies down by the time my helper gets here. Yeah, I know it'll seem a bit confusing at first, but you'll get used to it. BTW: Ernie, make sure Vic drinks this, it's a glass filled with WakeUp Juice. That'll get him up and about for 10 seconds before his brain kicks in again.

Ernie & Bert - NO
Vic - Gees, alright, fine, don't share.

01-05-2005, 02:44 PM

Didn't get to take the pics I wanted of my figures, guess it'll have to be some other day. See, I'm taking pics of my figures for my personal collection album, and to create an overall Palisades Toys Muppets figures product guide. Got almost all the photos of everything else already, just gotta take pics of the S9 additions, Jim by himself out of the box, the S9 Group Photo, a few action shots, and then one last photo of my updated display. Not sure when the thing will be ready for showing, but know I'm at least working on it.

Hey Vic, Ber, Ernie these yours?

Link: But creamy filling between two chocolate wafers...num num num...ooooh, feeling sleepy...zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Me: Oh boy. Sorry everyone.

Heh heh, here you go Ryan. *Hands small gallon bottle with WakeUp Juice. Thought this would be handier for you, just fill everyone's glasses and give them a shot. If you need a refill, LMK. Maybe we should just give these Oreos to our resident grouch and leave him be till he wakes up of his own accord. C'mon, I got some regular Oreos, much better than those new-fangled variations. Also got Social Tea and Chips Ahoy, they go great with a tall frosty glass of milk.

You say you're exhausted Christy? Then here, try one of these delicious mint Oreo cookies. They'll put you to sleep in an instant. BTW: How's Scooter? As for goings-on here at the dorms... Uncle Deadly (MC) and Pepe, and Vic Romano and Bert and Ernie moved in as new boarders. There's also someone who's thinking of moving in who wants Mokey as their roomie. And Mokey thinks that it's time for a change, so if that person does finally register here at the dorms, she'll move out and my namesake will move in as my new roommate.
Hope you get a good night's sleep and R.I.P.

Doc wants to know if I can take care of Sprocket the next semester. He's going on a tour of Europe. I told him I'd have to check with you first.

Hi Christy, I guess Sprocket can stay with you for the semester. Just make sure he gets along with the Fraggles who are boarding here at the dorms. And it's Ryan who says the mint Oreos conk you out, since he and Link had some back in November and are only waking up again just now.

*Runs hand along the lobby's back wall finding the marble 7.
OK, let's go. Mokey, you think we oughta treat her to the quick drop? OK then, step fright this way.
*Ushers Mupitz and Mokey through the two sets of doors to the Floor 2 Common Room's fireplace.
The thing is, that these fireplaces have a dumbwaiter elevator inside them.
*Presses button and all go inside. *Descend down to the bottom floor.
Now that we're here on Floor 1 or the basement room, we just have to turn to our left, and it'll be the last door down on our left. *Passes by own room, unoccupied room, and Vic's room.
OK, here we are, Room #7, it's fright next to the one with Vic and Bert and Ernie. My bats will be by shortly with your luggage. Hope you have a good time.

If she wants, Mokey can come over to my room and get whatever stuff she wants to take to her new room. Would say that she'd definitely have to pick up Lanford and take him to their new room too.
Oh yes, and don't forget to tell us how you plan on decorating your room. Post a descript as soon as it's ready.

*The sound of a lively chattering bat's squeaks can be heard over the stranger's shoulders. "Let me see, the letter of the day says to meet him or to go straight to Room #1 on Floor 1. Ah ha! He knows I love numbers so, this'll be the perfect college hexperience for us both!"

*The new boarder spots the wall with the keys behind the lobby desk. "Oh my! Such a lovely sight, I must count the numbers here on this lobby desk."
*Bat squeaks are heard again. "Oh yes, let's get downstairs to our room and meet our host."
*Both pass through the doors and into the dumbwaiter elevator inside the furnace. "Mmm, such a frightly touch, I must recommend it to all my fiends."
*Both passengers dissembark and knock on the door to Room #1.

Yes? Who's there? *Opens door and rejoices.
Ah ha, it is none other than my namesake, my mentor, my leige, the Count von Count!
CvC: "You're too kind, is this where we will stay here in the dorms?"
Yes, you'll be staying with me Eduardo, better known here on the boards as The Count (MC), but I'll differ my title to you my lord. Oh, and you brought Batty Bat with you, how nice. Hope he and Bella, my own pet bat, get along well.

Count: "You have a pet bat two? That's 2, 2 beautiful bats!"
*Thunder can be heard from outside. Ah, now that's what I like to hear. Come inside, the bats will bring your luggage down soon, we have to brainstorm over how to decorate the place.
Count: "Just so long as there are numbers ewery vhere I'll be happy."
Ah, we'll have to invite our other SS friends and dormhouse friends to say hello once the room's ready. But if you should meet them around, I'm sure they'll be happy to stop a moment and let you count them and their hellos.

*Door closes behind both counters and their bats, as the planning begins.
Have a good sleep everyone, and may your counting always be kind.

Hello Mupitz! Glad to see you at the dorms! And Count von Count! I thought I heard thunder.

Link: Thunder scares me.

Me: Well guess what, good buddy, you're gonna have to get used to it. Count von Count is here, and he is here to stay. And as we all know, thunder follows him wherever he goes.

Link: Do you have earplugs?

Me: Sure, here you go. Now take those blasted mint Oreos and dump them down the garbage chute. I've had to read like crazy to finish all five of the Hitchhiker's Guide To the Galaxy series. Still can't believe we fell asleep all that time. I'm just glad Vic Romano's okay, and hopefully Cookie Monster and christy b and Pepe and Uncle Deadly didn't overdo it.

Becky: Okay, Mokey, so I was thinking bunkbeds. We could hang fabric from the top bunk and make the bottom bed cave-like for you. That will also give us some more space in the room. I have a bureau, a love seat and a little entertainment center with my tv, stereo and tivo on it. You know us Silly Creatures and our gadgets. And lots of plants, of course. What do you think?

Mokey: Hmmm, yes, yes, I think that would be lovely. Of course, Langford will need a special place.

Becky: Of course. We could have hanging plants and standing plants and a little herb garden. I have a collection of framed pressed flowers, herbs and leaves. I also have a little sound machine that plays birds chirping, babbling brooks and dripping water for relaxation that I thought may remind you of home, Mokey. Do you think anyone would mind if my guinea pigs came to stay with us?

Welcome Mupitz
I like your room design!

The Count

01-07-2005, 12:37 PM

Hi Mupitz, or should we just call you Becky? The room you described is a nice one, and I don't think anyone will mind your guinea pigs. After all, there's an assortment of other animals both real and Muppet here already, your guinea pigs won't bother anyone I hope.
Will post soon with our own room design, just gotta throw the numbers around to finish everything off.

*If there are any Becky's already residing here then Mupitz will do for simplicity sake. Otherwise, I've no objections to Becky.*

Me: Just want to thank everybody for the warm welcome and compliments on our room.

Mokey: And I too want to thank everyone for their kindness.

Me: I'll just ask my family to send me Stat & Wally AirMail.

The Count

01-07-2005, 01:00 PM

OK then, Mupitz it iz. That's the good thing about the dorms, you know that our mail system gets all our stuff here on time. Especially when we have Grover delivering our mail as one of his many vonderful jobs, that is, if he's still in the postal service's employ.

Vic Romano

Vic - We have more furniture, but it's buried in Laundry.
Bert - Maybe if you and Ernie helped we wouldn't have such a mess!

The Count

OK, the room layout's finalized and we're both here to give you guys the tour. First though, we had to remove the furniture and start over from scratch. As you enter the room, the first thing you'll notice is the new Halloween mask knocker with the room's number a big number 1 on the door with two peepholes in the eyeslits of the mask. After that, there's a small doormat lying at the entrance of the room. You got two walls that seem to close in on you crreating a narrow passageway. Tucked into these walls are our wardrobe closets. The Count's is on your left and mine is on your right. The Count's furniture features small gray counting cloud knobs, while mine still have the bright orange jack o'lantern knobs. Inside the closets are dressers for our folded clothes, pajamas, sweatpants, underwear and other stuff like handkerchiefs, money and perfume bottles. The closets also have a comfortable living space for both our bats, with a bucket set up beneath them for their bat-room needs.

As you continue walking inwards, you'll notice the comfortable crimson red sofa couch in the center of the room. This baby's mounted on a swivel base and it has an outstretched bat-logo backing. The sofa faces the entertainment center we have set up in the center of the backwall. Got a TV table with the monitor, cable box, DVD/VCD machine, and a second DVD/VCR machine below that. The air conditioner unit is installed beneath the TV center, and we can both reach it easily.

OK, so now we spread out to the two individual halves of the room. The left half is the Count's and the right half is mine, but we both share the room equally. The Count's bed is propped up against the corner created by the closet's outer wall. There's a bat clock hanging from the wall above the bed's headboard, and two lamplike extensions with lightbulb-topped candles. These were an invention of ours, to preserve the gothic feel and yet not create mass emergencies should the candles' flames get out of control. The bed features two gray cloudlike pillows and a sheet showing off what else? All numbers from 1 to 10 scattered about and repeating throughout the sheets. There's also a folded blanket at the foot of the bed. There's a framed portrait of Countess Dahling van Dahling, a dark gray nightcap, and a pair of reading glasses on the nightstand beside the Count's bed. As you can see, the grand organ's propped up next to the far left wall. There's also a shelf above the organ with some PVC statues of creatures favorite to the Count and me as well. They include a vulture, raven, black cat, and Cerberus among others. Then there's the cooking area next to the left side of the back wall where you'll find the furnace and cauldron, with a window leading to an outside windowbox filled by black roses. The furnace's columns are sculpted to resemble two grim-looking demons.

Now over to my side of the room. Two white fluffy pillows are the head of the bed, along with two more lightbulb-topped candles. Got black bats printed up on my own sheets and a fluffy gray blanket at the foot. Note also, on the wall behind the headboard, the poster of Catwoman from Batman Returns saying "**** Here" with the O and T from the sign's original message dimmed out. After that, there's a double-shelving unit. This houses the following: my racks of Muppet VCD's, my Muppet Universe and some Law School course books, our books on mythical and monstrous creatures used for research on our projects, and some of my action figures though not all of them. Near the end of the far right wall you'll find my Frankensteinish computer terminal, complete with monitor and spooker speakers for my JAWS screenreader program. At the far right side of the backwall, there's a door marked with a white smiling skull. This is a walk-in closet where we keep our Palisades Muppets and eventually Sesame Street collections. Then again, we also switch our books and stuff so that the figures can be out on display in the main room. Got a tripod and digital camera to photograph my collection.
Lastly, there's a grand spider chandelier hanging above the center of the room's ceiling, directly above the sofa. And of course, small white plastic numbers spread throughout the room at different locations. You can practically find your way through our room by just following the numbers. And to give it all a proper setting, the walls were washed and painted with a dreary yet lightened dark gray so that the bat wallpaper could have a notable contrast.

Hope you guys like what we've done with the place, and feel free to stop by if you have any questions about the dorms or want to watch some Muppet moments.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Forgot a few details. There are two matching crimson red armchairs, one placed in front of the furnace and another in front of the computer terminal. Gotsta have somewhere to sit down you know. We also have toothbrushes and towels of our own over in the Floor 1 Bathroom. Mine are a slender black bat-topped toothbrush and a sandy brown towel featuring a black bat emblem with my initials in white; the Count has a light gray white skull-topped toothbrush and a rich red towel with a black stripe near the bottom bearing his name and a few skulls in white as well.

Hope everyone has a great weekend here at the dorms. JFS, if you need anything, just call on us.
*The Count at the organ... "And we'll come running, running for you."
You just call out our name, and you know wherever you are we'll come running, running for you.
