Thanks, guys! Yeah, I was thinking of a Cantus-style robe, but not a copy of Cantus's robe. This is supposed to be another member of his race, which differs from regular Fraggles in that they are taller, have plumelike manes, and are furry all over rather than only on the body and tail. I get...

...And here's Shonky in a robe that, like him, has seen better days. You can't see well because of the washed-outness of this photo (I'm a puppeteer, not a photographer!) but the robe is in the style of a yukata. Also, nertz, you can't really see his beard in this pic. Maybe this weekend when my...

And for those who are Fraggles, happy Festival of the Bells! Make a joyous noise!

A fanged frog? Would it suck the blood out of the bugs it catches? But that would make it a spider.

Heyyy... if we make puppets out of really durable stuff that won't go toast on us, and wait a century, we'll have real Muppets! OK, they'll be spirit/demon critters, but that's fine, we can start with Uncle Deadly.

You have my permission. :)

If you want to be accurate, the solstice happens in the morning, not the evening. 6:12 AM. However, I think anytime on the day itself will do. :)

In Japanese mythology, an item that has been in existence for 100 years can come to life as a supernatural being, a 'demon' without the satanic connotations. Demon teapots, umbrellas, fans, and especially dolls. I have no problem believing that kitchen implements or items of clothing could...

The winter solstice occurs at 11:12 UTC on December 21. Eastern standard time is UTC-5 hours. 11:12 minus 5 hours is 6:12. So, 6:12 in the morning. Additional references on the time of the solstice: http://www.archaeoastronomy.com/2012.html...

Solstice in the eastern US time zone is 6:12 AM. I'll jingle my key ring while waiting for my bus.

Nom nom nom. "Ushiwaka" is a character in the video game Okami, the title of which is the neatest bit of Japanese punnery I've ever seen. He's an odd fellow who appears out of nowhere, spouts prophecies, maybe engages in battle, and then is gone again. He's based on the Japanese folklore...

Footage sent. Please let me know if you got it. I may send you one more, provided I can finish sewing something in time.

Ah. I was confused because "ushi" means cow, cattle, or ox. ("Ushi-oni" would mean, more or less, "cow demon.") I didn't see what that had to do with scorpion-like Poison Cacklers.

Why would it?

A magic thing that has a spirit? What a ridiculous notion! (Hides story outline behind back) Nope, the name is just a coincidence. Maybe I should go back to basing names on Japanese words. "Ushiwaka"? Nah, a little long for a Fraggle name.

Mmm, hot chocolate. Slurp Ow! Very hot chocolate! The Count: I don't know what Pridain is. "Tarin" is actually a coworker's name with a minor spelling change. charlietheowl: Sometimes the basic assumptions of your culture are the hardest to explain because they're self-evident...

You can also find them on book swap sites too.

Amazon.com is your friend. I got a lot of 'em there.

[Janken shakes his hair, spattering everyone nearby and shaking a few small spikes out.] Janken: Gee, thanks.

I watched this last night. I enjoy it a lot; it's got the Muppety chaos that I love, and they're in the theater doing a show. Win! However, there are bits that bother me. There is some overacting that makes me squirm. Bitterman and the insane Aussie hunter are the worst offenders. Fromage...
