Heya. Do any of you remember this song? It's a clip that's on the SS homevideo "Put Down the Duckie"? A lady is in a nightclub setting singing this song and at the end she finds her "X" (the letter) in the audience. I just don't know all the lyrics. Was this written especially for SS, or...

Hellooooo everybody! I'm headed off to college as a freshman toward the end of the month and once I get a little settled in, I'm highly considering forming a puppet troupe there. It's going to be difficult to find people as interested in it as I am, but it is in Seattle, so there's bound to be...

Hey, I've been trying to get a couple characters of mine copyrighted. After going to the Library of Congress I'm stilkl confused as to whether or not puppet characters are classified under visual or performing arts. Does anyone know how Henson goes about copyrighting their characters? Any...

Woo-hoo!!! This is something I've got to share with all my MC friends -- I just got THE COOLEST JOB of my life (so far)!!!!! I got hired by the mom of one of the guys I graduated with to help put together a whole puppet ministry thing for their HUGE church throughout the month of July. There...

So, all you puppeteers out there, you couldn't have all been born with a puppet on your hand -- how did you first develop an interest in puppetry? As for myself, I had made paper bag puppets ever since I was about 5 after having copied a paper dinosaur head from a book at the library and...

Have you guys ever been reminded of something related to the Muppets by something that occurred in reality? (For some people this may not apply as some people on these boards may have no concept of "reality". I've heard it's just a rumor.) It's so weird when it happens because I'm usually...

Woo-hoo!!!!! I'm finally done with 12 years of torture and can fulfill dreams now. Actually, my high school dream was to graduate with honors, and it actually came true! I completed Cum Laude -- and if something like that can happen to someone as stupid as I am, anything's possible...

I just got finished with a school play and I was SOOOOO excited to get to do set design because our play was a conglomeration of fairy tale elements and I got to design a big dragon head puppet!! :) :D I designed the pattern and everything and the whole thing actually worked -- and in front...

I am making an independent film involving the Winnie the Pooh characters, and I was wondering about the legal twists and turns I'd have to go through if I wanted to sell my film, since the characters are copyrighted and all. The thing is, I know Disney owns the rights to the characters now, but...

Well, I know in the past we've yapped a lot about the fact that Steve has long hair, and from what I've seen -- heck! -- none of the Muppeteers have short hair (well, practically). What I want to know is WHY? It seems logical to crop it short so it won't get into the camera shots, although I...

OK. I have not seen a Muppet calendar on the market since NINETEEN-NINTY-FREAKIN'-SEVEN! The Muppets are certainly being revived, what with all their commercials, action figures, and their new Christmas special; you'd think someone would make a calendar of them too. Whenever I pass by a...

Hey everybody! I cannot find for the life of me the name of the song accompanied by the vacuum cleaner hoses on the Muppet Show. It must be a "stomp" of some sort. And PLEASE don't tell me it's called the "Vacuum Stomp" 'cuz then I'd just feel stupid (and I'm sick of finding new rocks to hide...

...to a puppet's head? I'm making a "Granny" puppet (except her name is going to be more original than "Granny") and I bought a gray wig which I put in a bun. Now I'm not exactly sure how to fasten it to her head. Should I use some sort of pins? Screws and wing nuts? Can anybody please...

Hello again everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just got back from Great Britain and the whole forum changed -- it looks great, staff! My server wouldn't let me regiter for a long time, but now I can finally visit you all again. It's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good to be...
