    The hands of Lips

    Well, it's possible, as Steve did play the trumpet. I guess it's a sort of Fozzie thing, where if both hands need to be working (see the driving scene in MFS), two puppeteers work it. So maybe Steve did the head and the trumpet arm, and someone else did the other arm. Or the other arm was pinned...

    The hands of Lips

    I think if you look at the trumpet again, you can't see inside it, so there's probably a black board over the front of it and some RC stuff inside. It could well be the same equipment you'd find in a toy car.

    Hey, what's your Freewebs member name? It's always interesting to look into someone else's homepage.

    Possibly RC technology on both the hand and trumpet keys?

    Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

    My review of the new film: 2 1/2 :) s out of 4 :) s This new version of the Roald Dahl classic stays very true to the book, and this is both good and bad. Good, because it's essentially like transferring a book directly to the big screen; bad for the same reason. The new movie did not...

    This week on an all-new T*K*O...

    Oh, there may be no references, but it's there in spirit: in the first two seasons of the show, there's at least five computer-based episodes, and there's a LOT more beyond that. Good idea to do a big episode halfway through. Question: Would you mind if I put a "TKO Script Archive" up at my...

    Naw, it's not dead. There's still quite a few people who post there (Dee, Beth, yourself, me, Ziffel and random appearances from the others). And cyber-terrorists? Sounds like something out of an episode of "MacGyver", so I can't wait! :sing:

    What is Your Race and Religion?

    You may be in the minority, but you're not alone, there's a lot of atheists here.

    how'd you find this site

    If memory serves me right (heh, cheesy Iron Chef joke), I found this through Karen Prell's site. Or it may have been while searching for information about Eric Jacobson. Around the time I began coming here, I was frequenting Tough Pigs; now I've given up on Danny. Why? He likes Elmo, and thinks...

    Kids can be so cruel

    Yet another thing we have in common. I never was "a popular kid", inasmuch as I do not have any of the qualifications to be "a popular kid": namely, enjoying rap music; wearing pants that begin somewhere around your knees; freely telling who you 'like' (the word used); sharing dirty jokes...

    Minigolf and Windmills

    I don't know what it is, and I'm sure I don't want to. Once hit my father in the arm with a golf ball. It was kinda sad, but at the same time, it was REALLY funny. I didn't know there were that many curse words...

    1000 is a magic number

    Sure you will! And when you do, I'll send you a few rare Beach Boys tracks. Or I could just do that now. PM me and we'll talk.

    Sesame pics unveiled at Toy Fair

    True perhaps, but they're marginally better than the rest. In terms of body shape, Guy is also the most accurate.

    What music are you listening to?

    The score for "The Terminal". My all-time favorite score.

    Sesame pics unveiled at Toy Fair

    I just took a gander over there, and my opinion of these figures has changed. Guy Smiley is now my favorite, and probably the one I'll be buying. If some revisions are made to Ernie- specifically, moving the pupils down a little and a MAJOR head-and-neck revision to size it out right- he'll...

    Something happier

    Bad enough as it is, they thought I was some sort of headbanger! Actually, the closest I've come to that is the two Fear records I own; other than that, it's pretty much the Beach Boys and the Monkees here. Oh, and Beau, that's great! Have fun at the wedding!
