    Hey there!

    Nice to meet all y'all, just thought I'd introduce myself :) I'm a lady who's enamored with puppetry. I've never done it myself, but I'm devoting the summer that I'm NOT devoting to learning Korean and working to making puppets and becoming a legitimate puppeteer! If anyone has tips, holler at me!

    I really like visual art (and running and martial arts, though that's not super relevant here I don't think :p), and my favorite childhood show since birth, practically, was Sesame Street. That's really where my interest in Henson's work began. However, Fraggle Rock has become my favorite Henson world over the past year! That's about all I'll say for now; 'sgreat to be here :D

    Hey there jabberjaws!

    Your avatar is just awesome, Fizzgig is the bomb diggity :cool:! I just wanna say that I had the same childhood dream, I really did. Right now I'm not pursuing it, really, but I think it's awesome to see someone out there who has that fire! If I ever discover an in for you, I'll letcha know ;)

    Maybe check out the art scene in your area (or extended area)? If you could meet people who are (independent) creators of puppets or animations, they might be able to offer you some ground-up opportunities to try your dream out!

    Hello Muppet Folk, fans and more.

    I am RussTheFilmGuy and I love and admire all the creative work done by the entire muppet network. It inspired me to pursue my own dream. I am from Saskatchewan, Canada. The Henson network has always been a large part of my media experience.

    Favorite work: Jim Hensons Storyteller
    Favorite classic character: Animal
    If I was a muppet I would be : Bobo The Bear (love that guy)

    Someday I hope to get myself in a photo singing with the muppets, and then the people who are bringing them to life.

    That's almost as brief as I could make it.

    Wow! That's awesome! :D Haha it'd be wonderful to have some Muppet convos in Korean soon enough (probably not that soon though). If only I could type in Hangul yet... Is it a similar experience to typing in Japanese, do you know? Because it seems to me romanizing the Korean alphabet is a more challenging/varied process.
  9. Pinkflower7783 Well-Known Member

    I'm fluent in Japanese too LOL!, and yes Korean is similar in terms of sentence structure but it is two different languages. I will say Korean is harder to proununce in romanizing but easier to read in Hangul. But for me Japanese is the opposite it's harder to read because of all the kanji's but it's easier to prounounce in romaji. Haha go figure! Ironically I'm more better at Japanese then Korean. LOL!

    well hello there. the name's :attitude: (minus the eagle part). i joined this thing because i'm going through a muppet obsession (yay, fun!) i'm in high school, probably much younger than most on here, and less knowledgeable as well. i'm trying to start collecting muppet "things," but i'm a huge cheapskate and everything is pretty pricey, but i'm still interested in learning more that I won't get from my Muppet Show subtitles as well as other things related to the JHC. ANYWAYS i really don't know how often people really post on this thread (i've never used a forum before :eek:) so it may be cheesy of me to do so.

    Yeah, and my profile pic, I enjoy photo manipulation and ummm i prefer geeky puppets in lab coats:eek::confused: to any shirtless celebrity.

    I don't know how to start a new thread. I don't see an icon anywhere, of course, I did just wake up. My name is Tess Reeves. I live and work as a Registered Nurse in Bainbridge, GA. I have two wonder kids, Tonya, 22, and Shane 20. I love animals. My husband runs a Beef o'Brady's restaurant here in town. I grew up watching The Muppet Show every week. I think this show should come back. There is nothing but trash, paid programming, and reality crap on television. I think America wants a needs a change and this would be a refreshing one.

    Hello Tess and welcome to MC. To start a new thread, go to the forum/category where the thread should go, then click on the "Post New Thread" link. The only area where this easy process is limited to just moderators/staff members is the Games section. Also, do some searching to make sure there isn't already a similar thread for what you wish to talk about. There are already "Bring Back TMS" petition threads if that helps. Also, please keep in mind that threads with posts tagged with older years might be dead conversations and the members no longer available to continue the discussion.

    Hope this helps, have fun exploring the rest of the forums.

  16. Jobo New Member

    Hello all!

    My name is Colin and as you can tell, I'm new to the community. My avatar is of my first puppet, Jobo, born in May. I'm in the process of learning all about the puppet world and I'm eager to learn so much more! I'm spending most of my spare time learning how to make bigger and better puppets.

    Like you, I love the Muppets. As a child of the '80s, I grew up with Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, Muppets Takes Manhattan, Muppet Babies and Fraggle Rock...I couldn't help but be mesmerized! Things haven't changed since then. Haha.
  17. Hello, My name is Reese and I am a HUGE Muppet fan and some day want to work with them.
