    Slackbot's text sketchbook

    Thanks. I don't have another long story planned for these characters, so I just wanted to show them at a later point in time. Scooter's finally gotten over it to the point that he actually wants the other shoe to drop, but he doesn't want the matter to alter his established persona. (He's no...

    Arm Rods?

    Hmm. From work I can see it. That's peculiar. This looks like a good tutorial. I won't be using it because it requires tools and equipment that I don't have, and since I don't need many arm rods it wouldn't be a great investment. However, I will check out that Plasti Dip stuff. That looks...

    Slackbot's text sketchbook

    Here's another shortie. It takes place sometime after Brothers and Sisters, and continues a thread from Masks and Growing Together. ***** Ring of Truth by Kim McFarland ***** It was a lazy Tuesday morning. Fridays through Sundays, the Muppets put on their shows at the theater, and on...

    Arm Rods?

    When I go to that page I only see an "0". In fact, the whole site seems to be MIA.

    Yup. If Boober had run his own errands that day, Janken might have looked very different. I'm writing another story which I hope to post in the next few days. It involves domesticity, secrecy, and jewelry.

    Words You Overuse

    I'm so sick of the word "literally" merely being used for emphasis, so now I avoid using it at all. I tend to say "without exaggeration" in its place. After a few uses it starts to feel clunky and overused, though...

    Arm Rods?

    I was unable to bend the ones I bought. So, I attached a safety pin bent to a right angle to the rod, with the sharp point down and the "latch" sticking out, and glued that into the foam. Worked perfectly. I'd like to come up with a way to have detachable arm rods without rubber bands or...

    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    The New York Times review of this movie is great. It could have been written by Charly from Flowers for Algernon.

    Arm Rods?

    Not sure what you mean by "build inside the puppet". Here's what I've used... http://www.outoftheboxpuppets.com/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=110 They're a tad long for me, so for my next puppet I'll probably cut 'em down a little.

    A Nest Divided: A Sam the Eagle Story

    I finally have gotten caught up on this story. It's very good work, but with every single chapter I want to swat Sam in the face with a wet mop. It won't do any good, but I wanna do it anyway. But instead I'll let him find out how much good his holier-than-thou attitude is going to do...

    Typos? *edit edit* What typos? There are no typos such as what you pointed out! Heh, the goofy grin was almost inevitable. The bit you didn't see involved Wembley's little sound effects, and it's hard not to laugh, y'know?

    I haven't written many of these little fragments lately. But now that I've gotten the big fics out of my system, I can put down some of the incidental bits. This is a bit of naughty ush-gush that takes place before the birth of the Fraggle Five Family's first child. It might explain a few...

    Misconceptions about your age

    When that's what a woman wants to do, then all is well. Nobody would argue with that. It's the idea that a woman must change her last name that some people object to. My sister took her husband's last name when she married--and took the opportunity to get rid of a middle name she never...

    Misconceptions about your age

    How many men would ever consider changing their name when they got married? Hah, just ask around. A man's name is who he is, why should he change it when he gets married? Yet a woman has had her name just as long, and if she doesn't change it something's wrong. She doesn't really love him...

    What made you roll your eyes today thread?

    I've been trying to buy a new pair of white classic leather Reeboks. In the past I've never had any trouble finding 'em, they're everywhere. Now it seems that all the stores stock in the way of athletic shoes is crayolas-on-acid abominations. It looks like somebody's three-year-old designed...

    Archaia to Reprint Marvel Fraggle Comics

    I hope that they have a second volume, as they only reprinted four of the (I think) eight comics. And more of their other Fraggle Rock comics would not be unwelcome, either!
