I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing
Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.

I appreciate your thread and might actually try the books now because I enjoy the show, for many reasons, but your explanation intrigued me.

Every time Pitbull's "Fireball" comes up on my workout playlist, I envision Marty Feldman from "Young Frankenstein" cheekily mouthing along with the "walk this way" lyric with a little giddyup in his step. And that's how Igor lives on in my heart. ❤️

Thank you. My sister did eventually get her luggage back. But her house is on the sidewalk so she ran a mile home from where she was watching a game since she was given no warning until her bag was dropped off and she feared it would be stolen.

That isn't a description I've heard before, and feels too joyful even if cleaning up glitter is a massive pain, but I appreciate the visual of the metaphor and share my condolences for your loss. Years out from first losing my mom, and the grief still can overwhelm in waves.

Very excited to receive another box of hornets today for our @entsocamerica.bsky.social Hill advocacy next week to generate support & funding to eradicate greater banded hornet from Guam. "We don't want these in CA or FL, do you?" is effective. Huge thanks to the Chris Looney & Chris Rosario!
