    Big, chunky, and hairy. Some call her ugly; I think she's just a cave monster.

    The Random Call Out Thread!

    What, again? Okay... When I was a kid I played Tin Soldier 23A in the Atlanta Ballet's production of The Nutcracker.

    Really, Archie?!?! REALLY?!?!

    Archie vs. Sharknado? Wow. I don't know what to say. I can make lots of faces, though. I miss the Kevin Keller comics. *sigh*

    The Random Call Out Thread!

    Huh, I got tagged. OK, an interesting thing about me: I have performed in shadow casts of The Rocky Horror Picture Show more than 1000 times over 25 years. I've played every character, once on the same night (it was a tag-team event), but my main character was Frank. I tag nobody, because I...

    Slackbot's text sketchbook

    Thanks, I'm glad you like these little bits and pieces. The mood does tend to wander all over the map, doesn't it? I have more freedom to play with tones, because the stories are so short. If it's utter fluff, it's not too much fluff, and if it's grim, it doesn't last long. What test fics...

    The Saddest thing that reminds you that you're old...

    Yep, the first is London Bridge is Falling Down. The second is The Hokey-Pokey. When I was a kid you couldn't have a roller rink birthday party without that song and a roller limbo contest.

    The Saddest thing that reminds you that you're old...

    Over the weekend I posted these two comic pages, and hardly anybody could name the songs the kids are singing and dancing to in the middle panels. Aw, c'mon, don't they play those stupid songs at kiddie parties any more?

    How's the weather where you are?

    Atlanta is rainy off and on, and we can expect more of that for the rest of the week. That's a good thing, because it cools things down and washes the pollen out of the air. It's been in the mid-80s and the pollen count has been unreal lately.

    April Fools: I'm working on Sesame Street DVDs now!

    *laughs* Well played, sir. Well played.

    Crack Ships

    In my opinion, every ship in the FNAF fandom is crack. Purple Guy is a serial/mass child murderer, and all the animatronics are inhabited by the souls of the children he killed. The more I think about that, the more ughy shipping any of those characters becomes. I suppose that if you really...

    New behind-the-scenes book to celebrate Fraggle Rock

    It's been put on the back burner, and the back burner has been turned off.

    Joseph Gordon-Levitt Signed On to Star in Fraggle Rock Movie

    We've been down this aisle before. All I can say is, we'll see what, if anything, happens this time. I'm not getting excited until I see puppets on arms. Well, I can also say: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, whoever that is, is starring in a Fraggle film? Please please please tell me isn't not going...

    Most Unlikable Protagonists

    The Telephone Guy from the Five Nights at Freddy's games. He's the one who calls you and gives you information to help you survive the night, and cheerfully encourages you. He also blithely glosses over unimportant matters such as recent murders involving the restaurant you are working at, the...

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    Turn the Lights Off by Tally Hall, because of this video.

    Background Creatures

    There's plenty of 'em, but I don't have any information on them. Off the top of me head, I've seen four rumble bugs, two apparently limbless things with goatlike faces, something with a Fizzgig head, spiders made of feathers, thimble beetles, a critter kind of like a koosh ball, spider flies, a...

    Thick rolled / corded hems for Fraggle clothes?

    I use regular ol' clothesline, roll the edge of the fabric around that, and sew it with small running stitches. When I've looked at the clothes on publicity pics, the stitching was visible around the edges, so I knew I didn't have to get too fancy. I'd heard that people used airline tubing...

    Need photos of Kermit-inspired or "Sock Puppet" pattern puppets

    Would a Boober puppet I made count? His face is a bit Kermit-ish.

    Pet Peeves

    As far as I am concerned, the word "whom" can get lost. Do you know anyone who uses it in actual conversation? Me neither. It sounds so pretentious. I wouldn't go so far as to call it a pet peeve, as I just don't care enough about it. My grammar peeves are: "different than", the ubiquitous...

    Muppet Cosplays

    Hi there. This is Negaduck9 on DeviantArt, the manager of the Fraggle Rock group. Welcome to Muppet Central! As I've said before, I really like this cosplay, especially the tail. And I can't believe that I didn't notice Sidebottom's socks before! Great touch. Regarding the shirt, If you...
