    The Woes of being a Step-Parent

    Speaking as a child of divorce... Have you spoken with your children (genetic and step) about this? I'm sure they have conflicting feelings about their family being changed by this new/old presence. It hurts your feelings to be demoted from "Dad" to "Dwayne," but at least you have some...

    Labyrinth - The Four Guards scene

    It doesn't matter which one she asks. The answer will be the same. And, rereading my explanation, I realize I made a doofus error. I began with "If Door A led to certain death..." I should have said "If Door A led to the castle..."

    Labyrinth - The Four Guards scene

    If Door A led to certain death.... The truth-teller, on being asked which door the other one (the liar) would say is safe, would reply Door B. He's telling the truth: the liar would lie and say that B is safe. Therefore, A is safe. The liar, on being asked which door the other one (the...

    Thanks for the cookies and the recommendations! This is just what I was looking for. I'll check some of these out. The fics, not the cookies. Well, of course I'll check those out too. Ah, Jan? Mind leaving me one of those?

    Winter holiday themed fanfics

    There are plenty of fanfics based on Winter holidays. Wouldn't it be nice to have a thread for them? Wouldn't it be a stroke of genius to create a thread in which people can plug their favorite holiday-type fics with a link and a description? No, no, no need to thank me. Anyway, please plug...

    My Muppet Show App Discussion/Updates

    Yeah, this is not a nice development. Not because we'll all miss the game so much, but because of the implications. Said implications actually occurred to me well before this announcement, because I noticed that there had been no ads on the game for months. They were not even bothering to...

    What made you roll your eyes today thread?

    I manage the Fraggle Rock DeviantArt group. Recently a user has started posting pictures of an unsuitable nature. Eye-bleach pictures. At first it was just to his on gallery, so, fine, whatever, no business of mine. But then he started submitting his...images...to several Muppet & Henson...

    My second puppet: Skeeter

    So I remade Skeeter! I fixed a few things that were bugging me about the old puppet. Her head is a pyramid, same as Scooter's, and her jaw is pointed rather than clamshell-like.She has removable arm rods. Her shoulders are a little better defined, and her dreads are thicker and brighter...

    Rowlf Fur wanted

    Cool. Let me know what happens when you boil the fur, if you do that. Some furs respond better than others.

    Rowlf Fur wanted

    Here are a few possibilities: https://www.fabric.com/buy/0381524/alpaca-faux-fur-brown - Nice color and texture, but the pile may be a bit long. https://www.fabric.com/buy/bu-292/faux-fur-luxury-shag-brown - Luxury Shag is the fur I use. When boiled, it gets a very nice, wooly texture.

    Do not buy from Creature Clones!

    There are other threads on Creature Clones. This one gathers a lot of grievances into one place. Basically, it seems that he makes great puppets, but you can wait months or years before finally getting them, and that only after putting fire to his feet. It's things like this that made me set...

    TV Alert: Sesame Street at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

    The only station in atlanta carrying the parade this morning live was CBS. They gave a lot of love to the balloons--now I know just how many cubic feet of heliim was inside Spider-Man and how long Papa Smurf's "cane" is--but I almost missed the Sesame Street float because I blinked. Didn't...

    Puppet-in-Progress: From the foam up

    I recently checked back at pingpongballs.net. The site has been revamped, cosmetically at least, and I see that they now accept Paypal. I wanted to order some of their 50MM balls earlier, but their BBB rating and comments made me unwilling to send them my credit card info. Anyway, I'll see...

    Basically, Gntrmn inserted himself into every story he did at that time and had it all revolve around him. The best example of it was in his Sailor Moon comics. BTW, these were drawn about 20 years ago...and if you look at his current art you'll see no noticeable improvement. *sigh*

    Most Obnoxious Fandoms

    *chuckles* the Sonic fandom. Ahhhh, that takes me back. Remember the Ken Penders/Gntrmn (deliberate misspelling to mislead Google) kerfuffle? I was a spectator to that, um, spectacle. Truly fandom at its worst. It was like a train wreck; nearly impossible to look away. Gntrmn did a number...
