He, He..... I've just totally muffined my own thread. lol

EEEEWWWWWWW! One of Rizzo the Rats young long lost relatives was dicovered on the walkway in my garden with a cat this morning. (not the cat that sniffed glue). It was a rather obscene display of affection on the cats part as he was rubbing his head and body all over this tiny little mouse...

**** Beebers.... we served rubber lasagna at my wedding. :p Oh, and you guys want a good laugh, that customer called me today and we were discussing her puppet order when she mentioned "so how do you think you can attach the chicken to his hand?" Can you imagine the crush I felt in my heart...

Yeah, but mine is a key chain..... and it was FREEEEEEEE! lol

Lookie what I got in the mail from a customer! *laughing* Foz, you'll be jealous. :D http://www.puppet-planet.com/Ebay Stuff/Chicken.JPG

*laughing* Well, lets see some photos of YOUR characters! :excited: (keeeermit) <--- too many "e"s?

invisability ability..... lol, I just caught that. :p

*rolling on the floor laughing* This could be a bit sensitive to some people....... but it's totally meant in a light hearted funny way.... What if Osama was trying desperately to fund his mission by building muppet bootlegs and selling them on ebay? :concern: !:eek:

Welllll, they caught Saddam, so it can't be him. *laughing* :zany:

Ahhh, now see, I had always thought that Rick Lyon built several of the crank yanker puppets! I got that impression from reading his website...... must have been one of those late night discoveries again. *laughing*

lol, it is true though...... it isn't uncommon for people selling bootlegs and such to have invalid e-mail addresses registered on ebay, that's usually why they list a yahoo or hotmail account within the description. If your going to contact him, start off by acting like an interested customer...

HEEEEYYYY! I wasn't fighting! I told you that you were right when you said that we should agree not to agree! I was just stating WHY I didn't agree! lol Online/e-mail chat is so flat no matter how much they try to animate it! ;) You guys should know me better than that! I very rarely ever...

Writing word for word doesn't take any talent because anyone can do it, it's a poor comparison. Copying a designers dress, an artists painting, or a puppet character and doing it well just from a visual photo or memory does take some form of talent. Those people may not have positive morals or...

No, I totally agree...... it IS wasted talent. But talent is talent, even if it's wasted on copying someone elses character. :smirk:

Well, it's not like it makes a difference whether or not someone points it out here... he is making the decison to building a duplicate of someone elses character and then posting it on a very high profile selling site like Ebay. If he was worried about getting caught the he would be hiding in a...

Yeah, it is illegal, I'm sure that Ebay will probably see it and have it pulled. I thought I'd post it so everyone can take a looksie real quick before it disappears. :) I've never seen his other ones..... I'll have to check his feedback and see if a sale with photos slipped thru. :excited...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3184679277&category=19234 Not a bad job at all, the likeness is pretty close..... not a full body though. :(

Actually, on the Lyon website if you go thru the photos of his work there are photos fo multiple puppets that he designed and built for Crank Yankers. Regardless of who made them, I agree that the work is clever and well done in addition to the show being totally funny and a joy to watch.

*clapping hands & laughing* I love it! Well said!

*laughing even harder* I was going to mention something like that, but decided to stay out of this one. :D
