My grandpa gave us a bunch of old tapes that he had recorded Green Acres episodes on, and on one of them there was a news flash about Jim's memorial service. It showed a couple clips and I think I remember seeing Big Bird walking down the aisle. I'll have to watch that clip again, but I know...

OK, your "homeless person analogy" speaks nothing but irrelivancy to me. The only point that I could possibly make out of this is that you are attempting to portray the 12 disciples as drunks, which is an argument easily subdued by the fact that drunk people rarely agree with anyone (as the...

Yes, Tom, men wrote it -- but God inspired men to write it. The Bible testifies about this itself: "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God". Yes it has been translated many times, and some expressions used in it lose their entire meaning because they were unique to the culture the men...

Hey guys, I don't know how recent this is, but I thought I'd display it here for anyone who hadn't seen it. Click on "Shorts" then click on "Puppet Thing": http://www.homestarrunner.com/toons.html Does anyone have any idea who built those puppets? They're pretty nice.

Well, if you look at the choices of A) believing that Jesus' death and resurrection is the only atonement for salvation from a person's sins, and B) the biblical principle that a person's sin leads to eternal misery in ****, guilt looks pretty darn endurable to me. Especially when I'm offered...

...And with a Michael Moore avatar, we think that's a bad thing, don't we. Interesting how Gibson wouldn't think to script the film in the English language if this was just a money-making scheme...

Yes

Word. That was my big issue with it before I watched it, and while the resurrection is certainly what gives meaning to Jesus' death and salvation for humanity, I think too much more would have destroyed the impact of His suffering. Ya know what I mean? Sometimes in film it's better to...

I got to see this film last Saturday -- awesome. I loved all the spiritual imagery;it's just sopping with it. For anyone who isn't familiar with scriptural imagery, they're missing out on a lot of stuf that just wowed me. Gibson did an incredible job keeping a quality of realism in the film...

Hey guys! I did a search and couldn't see any evidence of this site being mentioned here before. It seems relatively new (it's re-vamped anyway) and maybe even better equipt than a Muppet fansite to answer a broad range of puppet questions (no offense to Phil's excellent site, obviously)...

Beautifully stated. I just wonder, since I intend to incorporate some statements from MC and mention the site in general, should we keep this site anonymous? If things seem too negative toward Disney over here, that might give them more of a motive to shut us down, if they dare.

I don't mean to offend anyone, but this is my personal reaction: Wrong. The "Overlord" may have one, but we can fight as fans through influence. The power of writing to the company and letting them know just how important this deal is to fans -- putting them on edge -- is what we have to...

Wow, that must have taken a lot of effort to put together. It's very well done... ...but we need to stop wallowing in our misery. I went to bed the first couple nights wishing I wouldn't have to wake up to a Disney-dominating world. I was very depressed -- but that's not the Muppet legacy...

I am very pleased that the Henson kids have a chance to breathe and explore their individual chareers now -- except they hung on to the creature shop, Fraggles, and Hoobs so I'm not sure if they're completely free yet. The article was very well written and an eye-opener. The thing I don't...

I don't see how Disney could shut down this wonderful site, seeing as WE acknowledge the Muppets of Jim Henson, NOT the Muppets of Disney -- seeing as they will potentially re-create the Muppets into something that is not the Muppets as WE know them at all. So there. Eisner, eat your heart out.

Bingo! THAT is one of the foremost of MANY reasons I hate the Disney company like sin. People always refer to Disney as "The Mouse" -- but how many kids today have even seen a Mickey Mouse cartoon? They have become so un-original and so un-self-sufficient (if that's a word) that they don't...

SECRET SQUIRREL! SECRET SQUIRREL! Come in, over.

Oh dear gosh. Well look at the bright side: now the only major catastrophe in the future is Armigedon! It's amazing how much depression and anxiety Disney just forced upon the optimism Jim's creativity encouraged. I hate Disney with all my heart and most of yours, but we can't let their...

The hardest puppets for me to built are the ones I have to rebuild. Trying to match another look exactly drives me up the wall... and across the ceiling... and down the other wall, and...

Thanks for going to all that trouble, Jinx. I couldn't find much legal crap on performing on the streets or at the waterfront, but apparently it's out there, as is explained by the unfortunate story of this street magician: http://funandmagic.com/performersrights.html Goofy government...
