All manner of scifi/fantasy/nerdness: Roleplaying, comic books, .... okay, so mainly just RPGs & comic books. And Dr. Who. And Firefly. And comic books. And role-playing games. And Community. And Buffy the Vampire Slayer. And comic books. And RPGs. And Avengers. And RPGS. And whatever else amuses me today...

I was remind by lawfulgoodness that today is the 23rd anniversary of Jim Henson’s death. This is my favorite clip from his funeral.

I always feel kind of sorry for Harry Belafonte when I watch clips from the memorial service.  He and Jim Henson were friends but Belafonte didn’t know about Jim Henson’s request that nobody wear black to the funeral.  That’s why when you look at the attendants of the service, nobody is wearing a traditional black mourning outfit… except Harry Belafonte.

Today is the 23rd anniversary of the death of Jim Henson.  It makes me sad that there are so many people on Tumblr that only know about him in a historical sense, but if you’ve ever enjoyed The Muppets, Sesame Street, Dark Crystal or Labyrinth, here’s a tribute to the joy and hope he brought to the world.qw

I love how Gonzo is Charles Dickens and Rizzo is just himself

FOURTH WALL BREAKING AS ALWAYS

Muppets is where I first encountered fourth wall humor I think, and that has becoming some of my favorite story humor ever

They have such a great standard and are so clever

Muppet Christmas Carol Appreciation Post(s)

We interrupt your regularly-scheduled RPG-related dashboard entry to remind you that, if you have not yet seen “The Muppet Christmas Carol,” you are making poor life choices.  If you haven’t seen it yet this holiday season, then watching my blog over the next few hours will probably count.

Jim Henson and his family

Why is it, whenever I see something with Jim Henson, all I can ever do is cry & reblog?  I need another outlet.
