Muppet Pride & Prejudice

This gave me and the bestie a wonderful hour of fun. As per tradition, Darcy should be a human. We think Elizabeth should be a humanoid muppet as well.

Any fan of Muppet Christmas Carol knows that Gonzo is the perfect narrator and he is still allowed to be, but only in character as

Bingley: Jane:

Mr & Mrs Bennet:

Kitty/Lydia/Mary: Miss Caroline Bingley:

(Mary is the frog, in case that wasn't clear) Mr Wickham: Mr Collins:

Lady Catherine de Bourgh:

Gonzo/Bingley as the narrator keeps trying to pull focus back to what he sees as the "real" story, but it's just Gonzo and Camilla in split screen staring out of rainy windows.

Also, Scooter should be every servant/footman/messenger/carriage driver. It's clearly just Scooter with costume changes, and he gets more and more exasperated as the show goes on, complete with a late entrance due to being half dressed.

Bonus casting:

Colonel Fitzwilliam: Sir William Lucas:

Mr & Mrs Gardiner:

[firthbetterorfirthworse]

And I think Fozzie bear is Charlotte Collins. Not Ma Bear - just Fozzie, who occasionally breaks character to worry if everyone's okay with him playing a woman.

I will allow two iconic lines from the 2005 version, because I want to see Fozzie delivering "I'm 27 years old with no money and no prospects" and can you imagine Animal grating out "what excellent boiled potatoes"? Phenomenal.

I will also allow the hand flex. Imagine the zoom in on a human hand holding a muppet hand and it being life changing.

The world needs this

At the risk of sounding anti-intellectual, I think that college should be free and also not a requirement for employment outside of highly specialized career fields

[kineticpenguin]

At the risk of sounding like an effete intellectual, I do actually think you should be allowed to just take college courses indefinitely

[yourunderwaterskies]

technically you can, if you don't care about degrees.

Free Harvard courses. Free Courses from Stanford. Free Courses from MIT. Free courses from Yale. Free courses from Princeton.

Free courses on Coursera.

Free Courses on EDx Free Courses on Alison

For paid, there's The Great Courses+/Wonderium. 20$ a month for unlimited courses.

When searching, the phrases you're looking for are Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), or you can do a general search of say, "free online college courses." Oh, and so you don't get surprised like I did, have an avoid: Hillsdale College is a conservative Christian site and not a valid MOOC place. Sign up with them and you will get things like THIS IS WHY THE LEFT IS TURNING YOUR KIDS TRANS AND GAY in your inbox.

As in, do any of your memories take place during the 90s (yes, a single memory from 1999 counts).

I can remember about half of them. My earliest memory was probably 1995 and they go from there.
