- In honor of tuning my cello I wanted to post Marvin Suggs tuning up the Muppaphone, but I can't find a video of it online. Fooey.

- Good morning folks. Another day, another dollar. Or as one of the members of the Muppaphone said: "Another day, another headache."

- Oh, my. There is actually a Marvin Suggs action figure? And you would think those muppas would learn where they're supposed to be, if only just to avoid getting smacked a little more. :-)
