    R.I.P. Stuart Scott

    I'm not a big sports guy myself, but I'm familiar enough with this guy (I've seen him on TV a number of times) and was surprised to read that he just died after losing a battle with cancer.

    Out With the Old, In With the New! The New Year's Thread

    We have our Christmas thread, our Thanksgiving thread, our Halloween thread, and our Valentine's Day thread... it stands to reason that we need a thread to discuss what we hope will come with the new year ahead of us, how we feel about leaving the old year behind, and talk about our unrealistic...

    Pattern Advice/Suggestions Please

    I'm in the process of building two new puppets, but in a change from my usual construction, these characters will actually have some shape to their heads, and as I've said before, I'm just not as good at building puppets as I am performing them, so if anyone here feels like they may be able to...

    Puppets Holding Objects

    I'm curious as to know what some of you out there do when it comes to having puppets holding objects in their hands? I've tried a few different methods myself, almost all of which had subpar results at best: monofilament, stretched out ink pen spring (both work best on furry hands, where the...

    Socktober Telethon with Grover and Kid President

    This is weird, but still amusing nonetheless. Am I seeing things, or have they recycled an older Grover puppet for this?

    Interesting Puppet Building Video

    Found this by accident on YouTube, but this guy shows you the process of making those kinds of generic "stock" puppets that Rick Lyon has dissed on his site. Basically, it's like you build the whole thing in reverse: you put together the fabrication before you construct the foam skeleton.

    Is JHC No Longer Involved with Alexander?

    The last I heard about the film adaptation of ALEXANDER AND THE TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE, NO GOOD, VERY BAD DAY, it was shelved. Now all of the sudden, it's being released in the theaters this weekend, yet I've heard nothing of it since it was announced Disney was shelving it. So, since there's...

    R.I.P. Paul Revere

    The golden age of music just lost another one of its unique icon, in this case, Paul Revere of Paul Revere and the Raiders; he died yesterday, and although there's currently no official cause of death to be determined, he had been battling cancer for a while. I think two of my favorite songs...

    The New New Quote Thread

    Since apparently the Quote Thread got deleted again... LOVELACE: You're a trouble-maker, Unger! FELIX: And darn proud of it; this country was founded by trouble-makers!

    The Facepalm and/or Headdesk Thread

    I went to Sally's this afternoon because I was in need of a new comb since mine has been losing its teeth (yes, I actually have hair underneath the cap I grew); anyway, after I made my purchase and I was heading out the door, I happened to see $13 packs of the exact kind of hair I was looking...

    This song is me: http://www.wat.tv/video/supertramp-dreamer-4eiq5_2jx65_.html My life is this song.

    We Need Another Movie

    (And void of sequelitis this time). Not because everything gets multiple sequels in this day and age, but when it comes to Muppet movies, there's a pattern that they always come in threes. The movies that were made while Jim was still alive came in three (TMM, GMC, MTM), the first theatrical...

    Kristen Stewart Reveals Why She Never Smiles

    Ever notice that Kristen Stewart never smiles in her pics? Well this past week, she actually finally revealed why. So, apparently, it's a "principle" or hers: if she smiles in her pictures, she somehow would end up being a sellout to her fans, and therefore, her entire fanbase would turn on her.

    Forum Index

    The forum index seriously needs to be redesigned. Big time. There's so much crap on the right side of the index (seriously, do we even need any of that stuff?) that it squishes the actual forum list, making the board names and such difficult to read and making the whole list look cluttered...

    Renaissance Age of Puppetry?

    Lately, I've been thinking. On TV Tropes, there's a page about the Renaissance Age of Animation, which pretty much goes into detail about how animation was really booming from an artistic and a business standpoint in the 80s and 90s, what with the influx of animated features (especially with...

    Imagination

    Although I love the original insert the way it is, and it does have a nice message to it (I must confess though, I'm with Ernie, when you try to imagine something, it is hard, as opposed to just letting your mind wander), sometimes I can't help but wonder if they kept the whole thing in about...
