Almost Daily Fraggle Rock Quotations: Week 19

Hi folks! Lisa the Intern here with a small batch of Almost Daily Fraggle Rock Quotations for you. Sadly, I have entered that crazy time of the semester when everything has to happen at the same time, so Quotations have not been able to be my main priority... but here's what I've got!


Wonder Mountain: "Is he okay?" "...He has NEVER been okay." --Wembley and Boober Fraggle


Red's Blue Dragon: "Now I'm just upside-down, inside-out, falling down, turn-about. What I mean, where I've been, people don't know!" --Red Fraggle


Space Frog Follies: "I'm not a stick in the mud. I'm a lump in the laundry!" --Gobo Fraggle


See? Cute little batch. I'll try to have more next time. But until then, dance your cares away, folks!

Almost Daily Fraggle Rock Quotations: Week 18

Hey folks. Lisa the Intern here again. Yeah, my week running the blog is over, and I was out partying all night last night, but for some reason I still have to post a few quotations for you. Not too many this week, but hey, in my defense, I was busy pulling articles out of thin air for you guys.


A Brush with Jealousy: "Boy, is this 'talking' business ever tricky!" --Wembley Fraggle


Wembley's Flight: "Let your heart fly free and high." --The Odd Old Man


...Well. That is officially pathetic. But hey, better than nothing, right? Also, I have some re-watching to do to cull more quotations from further episodes, which is hard to do when you're also doing homework and writing articles and such. So I apparently had a life this week, or something. Sorry about that.

Almost Daily Fraggle Rock Quotations: Week 17

A day late, but with good reason, considering yesterday's announcement, don't you think? What, you don't think? Well, neither do I. It's Spring Break. Why on earth would I be thinking? ...Well, alright, so I am thinking a little. Just enough to think that this may very well be my favorite batch of quotations thus far. See for yourself!


Wembley's Wonderful Whoopie Water: "Magic is as magic does--it lives in you and me!" --Wembley Fraggle


FINAL SEASON

Sidebottom's Blues: "Fun is here to stay!" --Sidebottom


Uncle Matt's Discovery: "Remember, Nephew Gobo: The magic is ALWAYS there, as long as we keep looking for it." --Uncle Travelling Matt


Junior Faces the Music: "You could be a walkin' talkin' BREATHIN' ball of fire!" --Cantus the Minstrel


The Perfect Blue Rollie: "When you're givin' love away, love will come again to stay! And what you give is what you gain, as we--Pass it on!" --The Fraggles


A Tune For Two: "Help us to live here with our other--our brother--one in heart, one in home, one in name." --Wembley Fraggle, Cotterpin Doozer, and others


See, aren't those just lovely? I mean, I've been looking forward to that quotation from "Uncle Matt's Discovery" for months now. And there it is! And now, I resume my scheduled non-thinking... Huh. You know, not thinking makes it very difficult to make basic decisions, like what to eat and whether I should do some dusting or some reading. Alright, so maybe the whole "not thinking" thing is over-rated.

Almost Daily Fraggle Rock Quotations: Week 16

Hey folks! Well, it's Sunday again, and it looks like it's my turn to post some lovely quotations. Had a little fun with how I wrote the quotations on my board this time around... Although I've been slipping the past few days due to illness. Sad times. Where's Boober when you need him?


The Incredible Shrinking Mokey: "Wembley, can YOU control YOUR puppet?" --Boober Fraggle


A Dark and Stormy Night: "I got ways of knowin', and I know they're right for me!" --Junior Gorg


Gunge the Great and Glorious: "Dance like crazy 'til you're fallin' down!" --Gunge


The Bells of Fraggle Rock: "There will be motion in the stillness, as there is music in the silence." --Cantus the Minstrel


Sprocket's Big Adventure: "And it sometimes seems You can see your dreams In the sight that fills your eyes." --The Doozers


Ah, yes, that's a nice little set of quotations. And hey, look! I got all three major species again! Go me! Now, do you know which one of these quotations I've been planning to write up even longer than I've been doing these Almost Daily Fraggle Rock Quotations? I'll give you a hint: It's the one that spent several months on a post-it note on my tissue box.

Almost Daily Fraggle Rock Quotations: Week 15

Hey folks! Lisa the Intern here with another friendly batch of Fraggle Rock Quotations. Considering how many days I spent snowed in and completely unable to leave my apartment, you'd think I'd have more... but hey, snow days are for fun! Unfortunately, I still need to dig out my car... Oh, if only I owned a shovel!


Playing Till It Hurts: "I get the feeling there's a different me appearing and it's time to be more than me!" --Red Fraggle


Bored Stiff: "Are you good at pretending?" "No... But I can PRETEND I am!" --Gobo Fraggle and Junior Gorg


The Cavern of Lost Dreams: "Hello sky, I'm right behind you! Hello highway, please don't mind my tone... I'm on my own." --Cotterpin Doozer

Huh... that's even fewer quotations than I thought I had. But look! I got all three major species from the show! I think that's an accomplishment, don't you? I don't think I've done that before. Anyway, if you'll excuse me, I REALLY need to dig my car out... I'm all out of dishwasher detergent, and I just used the last of the knives. And I'm kind of getting sick of eating nothing but peanut butter and crackers. Grocery shopping the day of the Super Bowl is a GREAT idea, right? ...Right?

Almost Daily Fraggle Rock Quotations: Week 14

Hey folks! Happy Sunday! Lisa the Intern here with another batch of Almost Daily Fraggle Rock Quotations. I'm happy to report that I've gotten back into my habit of almost constantly watching Fraggle Rock here in my apartment AND indoctrinating my friends when I visit THEIR apartments. I had the traumatic experience this week of having a good friend ask me what Fraggle Rock WAS... Let me tell you, it's a good thing we were at a stoplight when she asked, or I might've gotten us into an accident. But don't worry; I fixed it. She's very happy to have been introduced to the show now. Anyway, enough of my rambling...


Scared Silly: "Wembley... It's ALL in the timing." -- Boober Fraggle

The Great Radish Caper: "I'm gonna grow ROOTS!" -- Junior Gorg


Born to Wander: "I will follow ME!" -- (Young) Uncle Traveling Matt


The Battle of Leaking Roof: "Touché, soufflé!" -- Junior Gorg


Well, there you have it! And now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be watching the final season today while I write two or three papers and study for a test. For the record... I don't recommend procrastination. I'd give you a long explanation of why it's a bad idea, but... well... it can wait 'til next week...

Almost Daily Fraggle Rock Quotations: Week 13

So, I just finished my second week of classes this semester, and I'm still just getting back into the swing of things. So we've got fewer quotations than usual this week. But we do in fact have them! Whoopie!


The Secret Society of Poobahs: "She CAN'T be INNOCENT! I DON'T know what the word means." -- Convincing John / The Royal Vanguard 


The Beanbarrow, the Burden, and the Bright Bouquet: "Well, it's a long story... but it has a HAPPY ENDING!" -- Red Fraggle


Gobo's School for Explorers: "If you got what it takes to grow, You gotta take what you got and go, And if you got what it takes Then take what you've got And get goin'! Mm-hm!" -- Gobo Fraggle


And there you have it! Note that we have yet another new surface to write the quotations on, and that this drawing of Kissing Rock is even better than the last. Yes, it's still my drawing. I'm just apparently more talented with dry-erase markers than with chalk.

Almost Daily Fraggle Rock Quotations: Week 12 (or something)

Hi folks! Remember me? I'm that lazy intern who hasn't posted her Fraggle Rock Quotations in who-knows-how-long. It's a long story... but the end result is that I have a random number of quotations and, at the moment, no pictures to go with them. But since I'd rather not get fired by my best friend from a non-paying job, I figured I'd post SOMETHING... so work with me here, huh?


Blanket of Snow, Blanket of Woe: "Whadaya think? Do I look like pepper?" -- Mokey Fraggle


Pebble Pox Blues: "But Boober, what about the poison cacklers?" "It's alright, Wembley... I'll carry them, too." -- Wembley and Boober Fraggle


Home is Where the Trash is: "Oh, irony! IRONY!" -- Philo and Gunge


Believe it or Not: "You know, I never would've believed it, but all this BELIEVING stuff really works!" -- Wembley Fraggle


Wembley and the Mean Genie: "Gosh, Wembley, I don't wanna blame you... but this IS your fault." -- Boober Fraggle


So... how many weeks did it take me to get one week's worth of quotations? ...Let's not answer that, shall we? I'll see you next week! I PROMISE!

Almost Daily Fraggle Rock Quotations: Week 11

Hey folks! Lisa the Intern here with yet another week of Fraggle Rock Quotations. You know, I always try to think of something funny and/or interesting to put here... but there are only so many ways to introduce a week's worth of quotations.

Almost Daily Fraggle Rock Quotations: Weeks 9 & 10

Hey folks! Lisa the Intern here again. I swear, it is NOT my fault there were no Quotations last week. You'll have to blame Ryan for that one. But don't worry! I'm all set to catch up. So, without further ado, here are the past two weeks of Almost Daily Fraggle Rock Quotations!

And my mom got me a tripod for Hanukkah, which makes it MUCH easier to take pictures of my chalkboard without it turning out all blurry! I also got two rolls of quarters for laundry. Gotta love those practical gifts...

We'll have a FULL week's worth of quotations next week. I have a lovely dry-erase board here just waiting for me to buy a dry-erase marker that hasn't dried up. That tends to be useful when you're trying to write.

Almost Daily Fraggle Rock Quotations: Weeks 4, 5, and 6

Remember those Fraggle Rock quotations that showed up three Sundays in a row? And then they stopped for two weeks, and you thought another Lisa-the-Intern-series had gone the way of Don Music...

Even when we're talking over Instant Messenger, I have to correct him if he uses "there" instead of "their." So I figure it's only fair to let everyone laugh at me when I make a mistake writing a quotation on my chalkboard. See if you can catch it...

Almost Daily Fraggle Rock Quotations: Week 1

Hi folks! Lisa the Intern here with a new weekly segment for you. See, I have this chalkboard in my apartment, and almost every day I put up a new quotation from Fraggle Rock. As a sort of challenge to myself, I've decided to use one quotation from each episode, going in order. But what's the point of putting up all these lovely quotations if I don't have anyone to share them with? Ryan has been generous enough to let me share them here on the Muppet Mindset as a Sunday feature. And so I introduce to you Almost Daily Fraggle Rock Quotations!

Beginnings: "Every day the world begins again, sunny skies or rain. Come and follow me..." --Uncle Traveling Matt

Wembley and the Gorgs: "I'm always here, I'm never there. I'm never ever anywhere, excepting here, 'cause here is where I'm in." --Wembley Fraggle
