Word to the wise: When building a live-hands puppet, be sure to make the fingers of the puppet relatively stubby to accomodate for the different sizes of performers' hands (especially if you're a young performer and your hands are still growing). I rarely make the fingers any longer than...

Yeah, I was remembering that sketch a while ago. It's a family of Anything Muppets and two "Do-op" Anything Muppets. It starts out with the little girl being skeptical about what to eat, then her dad brings her cereal to try or something and then the "Do-op" girls start singing with her at the...

Sad day indeed. Jerry was truly a Juhl, and I am deeply thankful for the humor he helped bring to my life. Thanks, Jerry!

Hold the phone... So Disney is casting more Muppeteers? Does anyone know why they're doing this? I'm going to be starting school on the days they're auditioning in LA, so please don't make it sound too good :smirk:

You can basically do anything with contact cement. It's like "the glue god", second only to duct tape. That's what I use to glue mouths in place.

Yeah, I do lots of cartooning. Not really strips, just panels. I cartooned for my school newspaper for 6 months last year doing two or three a week. I also like doing charicatures -- I just did one for someone's wedding invitations. Really I started out drawing and thought of puppetry as a...

The handles look to me to be backer rod (foamy insullation stuff you can get at Home Depot) attatched with gaffer's tape.

Hey, I just found out that the creators of Veggie Tales are coming to my college to speak at a chapel next month. Anyone in the Seattle area who's interested should look into coming to SPU on May 31. Nifty stuff.

I've been growing my hair out for almost a year now and I've definitely graduated into the world of conditioner. I used to get it cut 1-inch long, and that was no problem. I'm currently using a blend of Crew shampoo (good manly smellin' stuff), and Herbal Essences rosehip conditioner (it was...

Those are the best recreations I've seen.

Personally, I think it is ridiculous to keep any info one has learned to oneself -- I wonder how amazing it would be if everyone shared all their building secrets, how quickly we could all advance to the next step. It's a socialist idea I suppose, but I'm willing to share any and all of my...

He's looking great! I love the tongue piercing. Just a suggestion for rod-attachment -- I found that sticking a 4-inch or so length of 1/2-inch plastic tubing in the hand with one end poking out at the wrist works wonderfully for removable rods. If you bend the 2 inches of the rod or so...

Eh, food's always been my nemesis. Acid reflux and anxiety are the gatekeepers to my esophogus, and they're pretty picky about who enters, so I'd have to say salad and mashed potatoes are the most welcome guests.

Amazing. I like Gonzo the best. How'd you do Fozzie's fur texture?

Yeah, I've often thought that if I could take everyone's "extra" pounds that would be my contribution to world peace. But 'til then, trust me -- being skinny isn't the greatest thing that's happened to me. :p

Hey buddy, it sounds like you ARE up there with those guys when they were your age! :)

Sooo... it's that time o' year again -- time to make New Year's resolutions and then break them a month later! Here's the catch: can you remember what your resolution was last year? Here's mine... 2004: I resolved to gain 10 pounds. Either I don't eat enough, I have an over-active...

I was FAR too blessed to receive... *A 5-in-one Adobe software package (including Photoshop, Illustrator, and In-design -- anyone interested in an amazing deal should look into it at www.buysusa.com) *my own tripod *a Stan Getz Latino jazz CD *Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, The Birds, and...

I'm from the world of righties, but I'd like to extend my apologies to all you lefties on behalf of my people for not creating anything to suit your condition. :halo: I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous though :D

Fears? Pet Peeves? I've got some of those: FEARS *the future (though I am doing better with this one, I used to throw up over it) *not measuring up to other peoples' standards *being hypocritical *loved ones being hurt and being helpless to help them *torture *getting lost driving...
