Tonight scarfwoman and her law school/bar exam study buddy went for Chinese, leaving me to my own devices. I put on The Muppet Movie and made peanut butter & jelly sandwiches and french fries.

Every time I deep-fry french fries I think of billroper. I was present for the incident in the song.

I don't have the latest release of The Muppet Movie though I went looking for it. I hoped to discover that it's not the abridged version that's all that's ever been released to home video before. But the Blockbuster only had the latest version for sale not rent, and the Hollywood Video didn't have it at all. The Hollywood did have the (or a) previous release, though, and since I haven't seen it in ages I rented it anyway. The summer this movie came out was a rough time for me, and I saw it ten times (which is how I knew there were always two cuts). But "life's like a movie - write your own ending."

Still no idea about the contents (and I haven't been able to dig up another source *documenting* the cuts, let alone indicating whether the new release has them -- I assume at this point that the version in majority circulation is the definitive edit).

Every Target I visited while over had piles of copies in stock.
