Ahoy! I guess the best thing to do is explore all the sections of the forum and find the ones that fit you best. I usually stick around the Puppetry, Friends and Family, and General Discussion threads, so come visit us there once in a while. There are lots of great people here so you should...

I made a bunch of paper bag puppets when I was a little kid and have some home videos of me performing them, but I'd say I seriously got started with puppets when I was 10. That's when I made Scary Larry and I just kept building other puppets and giving Larry face-lifts/body-lifts. I carried...

I used to get really annoyed by the show until I discovered that it's humor style (with the tremendously over-reactive characters) was similar to Ren and Stimpy (which I love), so it would be hypocritical of me not to love Sponge Bob. I think the characters are great, but I'm not a die-hard...

That's beautiful! However did you find it?

Greetings from across the pond! It's good to have you aboard, Jeremy. Props for digging through old threads (many times there are old threads that have answered some of my questions before I've even asked them, so the archives are a great resource). I wish you many enjoyable discussions...

I thought I'd pull this thread out of the closet rather than start a new one (reduce, reuse, recycle! :) ). So, I just made a puppet out of a fleece I got from Jo-Ann Fabrics that I'd never heard of before -- it's called "two-tone Sherpa". It's non pilling stuff that's abnormally thick and has...

I love the Beatles, but I'm not a hardcore fan (I only own Abbey Road) -- there are some songs they've done that I'm indifferent to or have to be in the right mood to listen to, but many more that I am in awe of. They were so inventive. I just love it when the Muppets parody the Beatles...

OK, fortunately I'm a bit more careful making puppets these days. Most of the problems I have today are far too huge annoying wrinkles at the corners of the mouths because I couldn't figure out how wide to make the fabric mouth opening. Mistakes that haunt me include... *using posterboard...

I'm sorry to hear about the acid reflux, pal. :sympathy: I've got that too -- nasty, huh? I've had 2 endoscopies and a bunch of other crud just to let me know I should stop eating citrus and chocolate. Sometimes it's just nice to know you're not the only one, so I feel for ya! Pile on the...

I recently summoned all my testosterone and bravely stepped into Claire's at the mall. I found a "wig-comb" thing that apparently girls beautify themselves with -- it's like a tiarra except instead of the crown thingy on the top it has hair. It's only $6.50 USD and seemed size-appropriate for...

I can definitely agree with you on that one :smirk:

How ironic when we're trying to define God by human standards! :excited: With the Bible, it's necessary to take controversial passages (such as "selling your daughter as a slave" or whatever) and look at them in a broad context (culture, implications, etc.) instead of taking it at face value...

After using anti-pill fleece, I'd say it'll work as long as you line up the direction of the weave. If the fibers spread away from each other at the edges you're sewing together, you'll see the seam as clearly as the Great Wall of China from outerspace. If they run into eachother, or both run...

I'm a guitarist. I've got a sunburst pattern acoustic named Lyle, and a black Peavy Reactor electric named Charlotte (it's important to name your instruments...). Loads of good times with both.

Am I allowed to post 3 times in a row? Sorry, I just wanted to help clarify the thing about Christianity and genocide. Whenever the Bible is interpreted by people (which are the primary creatures who read it), there is always the misfortunate chance that it will be misinterpretted. Comparing...

Oh, just wanted to give a shout out to Doctor Teeth -- Good words on the Bush method of "Active Peace", as I like to think of it. I agree with every word you wrote on that. I even agree with the punctuation. Good Samaritan story -- check. I don't think so much that homosexuals are a major...

You wanted to CLEAR that up? Well, you did get the part about it not being a theocracy, but the country was indeed founded on biblical principles. It was a haven for people to escape religious oppression, and the first of those were the Puritans, who certainly respected God. Many of the...
