The Muppeteers' Thread - Only for those with 'muppetars'!

[Veritas]

I'd like to change my avatar - sorry, muppetar - to the Swedish chef but I don't think Shelli would be too pleased.

You're only allowed to post in this thread if you have a muppetar. Them's the rules. :glare:

Y'know, I really can't decide whether Zoot scares me or not. And Doctor Bunsen - what's up with that? No eyes - BUT HE WEARS GLASSES!

[Crumb]

I say you can switch to Swedish chef if you recruit someone else to be kermit.

[Veritas]

Good call.

[Shelli]

Oooh.. The Swedish Chef is cool! Is it animated? :hyper:

[ceptimus]

We need a Ralph and some other muppet musicians.

:guitar: :pianist: :guitarist:

[Shelli]

:yup:

[lisarea]

Your security sucks. I have totally posted in your thread!

[Crumb]

You will add a muppet to your avatar now! :whup:

[Shelli]

:angrymob:

[ceptimus]

:giggle:

We'll all change our avatars soon anyhow, and then we'll be breaking the rules of this thread too.

ROWLF! Sheesh you N00b Muppet fans!

(Did you guys know that Rowlf was the first Muppet to make regualr TV apparences?



* Julie walks away singing

Ah, but what could be better than a saucy Irish setter
When puppy love comes on strong?
Or a collie that's classy, a laddie needs a lassie,
A lover and wife gives you a new leash on life.

[Crumb]

That's close to a muppet...

[godfry n. glad]

Ssssnnzzzz....

That's great godfry!

[Julie]

A Muppet is properly one of the puppets made by Jim Henson or his Creature Shop...


Ergo My avatar is a Muppet.

Not a pretty one, I'll give you that but it is a Jim Henson original.


But to make you purest happy.... I'll change it from http://www.wordsmithery.com/images/d_skeksis.jpg

to what it is now

[Shelli]

Oooh.. I can't wait to watch that, cep. :hyper: I have to wait till I get home though. :sadcheer:

[Julie]

Ugh so I just played the you tube above, and as soon as my son saw it was the muppets he started singing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSjcjHsSCmM

[Shelli]

Oooh! Oooh! Another one to watch later! :hyperb:

[Julie]

LOL Just for you Shelli....*MY* favorite one. The one I've been singing to my son since the day he was born.

Ugh so I just played the you tube above, and as soon as my son saw it was the muppets he started singing Damn, I came in this thread especially to post that video. So have an Alice Cooper one instead.

[curses]

LOL Just for you Shelli....*MY* favorite one. The one I've been singing to my son since the day he was born.

(Rainbow Connection video was here)Good find. That song will forever remind me of the Jim Henson Muppets tribute. Quite possibly one of the saddest moments of my childhood.

[Julie]

*sigh* you will all have to excuse me now...My Muppet addicted children are insisting I go watch Fraggle Rock with them....*sigh* what a horrible thing to have to go do


* Julie sings *Dance your cares away,
Worry's for another day.
Let the music play,
Down at Fraggle Rock.*

[Julie]

Good find. That song will forever remind me of the Jim Henson Muppets tribute. Quite possibly one of the saddest moments of my childhood.

LOl ok one last post...

Mine too. Jim Henson is the ONLY celebrity passing that has had me in tears. Heck I still choke up at the thought of it. He was and all ways will be one of my heros.

[Shelli]

:snoopy: :cancan3: :snoopy:

[Shelli]

Aww.. c'mon, Julie, bring your Muppet back. :^^

[curses]

A Muppet is properly one of the puppets made by Jim Henson or his Creature Shop...See, this is what I thought, too, and I'm using this as an excuse to post my favorite Jim Henson creation:
http://www.clubdesmonstres.com/labyrinthugo.jpg

(I hope this shows up)

[Julie]

Ludo friend!

ahhh my favorite movie!

And for reference my current Av is a muppet as well.

[Crumb]

What is that?

[Veritas]

Your security sucks. I have totally posted in your thread!

Yeah? Well your post totally sucks ass! :glare:

Behold, for the visitation of muppetry is upon thee! Dare thee...I mean, darest thou click the spoiler of doom?

Oh, you do, do you? Cheeky arsehole. Get it? Cheeky arsehole? Oh, never mind. Here it is. Prepare yourself for bowel-exploding muppetness. http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/gallery/files/6/3/1/Muppetrug.jpg

[Shelli]

That's awesome :biglaugh: I have that avatar but somewhere along the way it became de-animated. I figured that :kermit: musta got all tired out. :sleepy:

[Stormlight]

So ... it's Muppets time?

[Shelli]

Oh, and Yay! to the Swedish Cook! :D

[Shelli]

Stormlight has joined the Muppets! Yay! :hyperb:

[Veritas]

That's awesome :biglaugh: I have that avatar but somewhere along the way it became de-animated. I figured that :kermit: musta got all tired out. :sleepy:

There's a way of shrinking GIFs without losing the animation but I don't know how to do it. :cry:

[Watser?]

:assimilate:

[Veritas]

Oh, and Yay! to the Swedish Cook! :D

Chef. :glare:

Bork.

[godfry n. glad]

Isn't that chef fella supposed to be saying, "Björk, björk"?

- I suppose...but wouldn't that be just a little dotty?

Maybe he's searching for the original meaning in his cooking.

- There's justice no justice in "Bork".

[Shelli]

Hey, Watser? Whatcho doin' on this thread without a proper avatar? :rollpin:

Watch it or Veritas will Bork you! :muahaha:

[Veritas]

Isn't that chef fella supposed to be saying, "Björk, björk"?

I suppose...but wouldn't that be just a little dotty?

Borky bjork bjork.

Happy now? :glare:

[godfry n. glad]

Borky bjork bjork.

Happy now? :glare:


No...not really. That's not a bit dotty.

We like dotty.

She's been quite nice to us.

[Crumb]

Is the chef a Bjork fan?

[godfry n. glad]

For cryin' out loud, Waldorf, you'd think these nOObs would find their way to the Kermitage (http://www.kermitage.com/html/characterindex/tms/index.html).

- There's no accountin' for taste. There's always somebody who thinks they don't have somebody else's hand up their ass.

[godfry n. glad]

Is the chef a Bjork fan?

- I'd say Chef is more likely to be that, than an admirer of troglodytic jurists.

Nooo! You're not saying that Icelandic singer almost became a Supreme Court justice?

- I should hope not, those decisions are difficult enough to understand.

[Veritas]

I just tried uploading an MS Excel muppets quiz, but it was too big for the file type. I'd be happy to email it to anyone who has the necessary software to run it. Just PM me and I'll check my messages tomorrow, then send the quiz to anyone who's passed on their email address.

Off to bed now, so night all! :tired:

[Crumb]

:rofl:

[Veritas]

What's funny?

Oh. I forgot to say, "Bork bork!" :giggle:

[Crumb]

godfry is funny.

[Shelli]

Thanks for the video and pic posts everyone! :wriggle:

[Veritas]

:sleepy:

Veritas is a sleepy muppet.

Bork borzzzzz...

[Crumb]

2007 must be the year of the muppet.

[Shelli]

I've got a mad scientist Muppet av if anyone wants to use it. :look:

[Crumb]

With Beaker?

[Shelli]

This guy..

[Crumb]

Oh that is Beaker.

[Julie]

For cryin' out loud, Waldorf, you'd think these nOObs would find their way to the Kermitage (http://www.kermitage.com/html/characterindex/tms/index.html).

Meh I find the Kermitage is not compleate. It only contains the Muppets that were on "The Muppet show" and well thats not all the Muppets there are!

[godfry n. glad]

Beaker was my second choice...but I like the dual personality of Waldorf & Statler. They have so much more to say, as well.

[Shelli]

I think your current avatar suits you and the theme well, godfry. :yup:

[godfry n. glad]

Meh I find the Kermitage is not compleate. It only contains the Muppets that were on "The Muppet show" and well thats not all the Muppets there are!

Well... I stumbled around in there and came across links to practically every muppet that'd appeared on the various muppet shows, including the Sesame Street muppets, who often had guest appearances on either The Muppet Show or Muppets Tonite!. It even has lists of Seasame Street muppets which appeared outside the US (http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~csilvers/muppet-characters.html#ssnoUS).

Is that the kind of thing you had in mind? Or, did you mean to take it further?

[godfry n. glad]

Woo-hooooo! We thank you, Shelli, sweetheart!

- Waldorf here might even turn on his hearing aid to listen to what you have to say.

You should talk.

- What?

I said, "You should talk".

- No, I'm not going for a walk.

Then PUT YOUR HEARING AID IN, Stetler.

(would you just look at those hams???)

I wanted to get my platoon to watch Muppet Christmas Carol over the Christmas period in Iraq, but they didn't seem interested :(

Oh, and according to official Muppet literature, the word is "børk"

Trust me, I may not have a Muppet Avatar, but I know these things.

NTM

[Julie]

LOL Of course I want to take it further! I want acknowledgment for my av as an official muppet ;) plus Somebody else out there has to remember him!

(Well that and mostly what I get on the kermitage is børked links :)

I'm more of a Sweetums fan. I went ahead and succumbed to the peer pressure 'cause I'm feeling the Muppet love.

(liv will hate that background, but I can't remove it myself ATM)

[Crumb]

:clap: he's really just like a giant sock puppet too. :yup:

[Shelli]

Yay! Sock has graduated from a puppet to a Muppet! :hyperb:

[Veritas]

I feel vindicated as regards my incessant borking. :kermit: :animal: :gonzo:

[Shelli]

Veritas, have you seen the "Kermit gets laid" avatar that liv posted in the countdown thread last night? :kermit:

[Shelli]

liv has posted a Muppetar site and a Kermit avatar on this page of the Countdown thread. (http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5500&page=1152)

Here ya go

[Veritas]

I love the fact my word 'muppetar' has caught on.

I'm going out to the shops and to visit my dad now, but this evening when I'm back online, I'll put my muppets video on (from a 2nd hand shop, it wasn't the tape that was advertised on the cover, but for £2 or £3, an hour of muppets? Can't complain) and surf the intermuppet with you all. :animal:

[Veritas]

Veritas, have you seen the "Kermit gets laid" avatar that liv posted in the countdown thread last night? :kermit:

I wouldn't be interested in such filth! :giggle:

[Sock Puppet]

Thankee, ceptimus! :thankyou:

[Shelli]

:woohoo: Look at 'im go! Go Kermi! :kermit:

[Veritas]

To be honest, Animal is my favourite muppet - I had an Animal tee shirt when I was a kid.

Oh, look what I found...

[beyelzu]

my av is a muppet, it was one of those muppets that was left on the cutting room floor for some reason.

and it wasnt operated the usual way, with hands.

oddly enough.
