    Questions about anything

    Heh, someone actually asked me not too long ago how is Steve able to read if he has dyslexia (as mentioned in one of my very first YT vids), to which, I danced around the question by simply saying it's a retcon. And anymore, it pretty much is, it just depends on what the situation calls for...

    Why did Jim continue with puppetry?

    Makes me wonder though, because I know Jim held a really strong interest in animation, and I also know as a little side job during high school, he drew/designed posters for clients and such, if he had gotten into animation (aside from just Muppet Babies), and what we would have gotten from that...

    Questions about anything

    I don't know for sure, but what I am aware of is the idea of classifying any kind of learning difficulties being classified as actual disabilities has drawn controversy.

    Questions about anything

    Why is everything being pre-empted by baseball right now? Not that I care about any sporting event, especially when it pre-empts regular programming, but I thought this was football season, not baseball season?

    Romney wants to cut funding for PBS and Sesame Street

    Mouth plates

    My concern about the wood is wouldn't it be easily breakable? Like, if it's balsa wood or something? Cardboard can bend without breaking (for the most part), not so much with balsa wood. And Slackbot, I've had similar problems with gasket rubber myself... one common problem I've run into is...

    Why did Jim continue with puppetry?

    I just got to thinking, I'm about as familiar with Jim's history as anybody here, but I have been wondering, has there ever been any explanation or theory as to why Jim decided to continue to make his career in puppetry? We all know he never even considered working with puppets, let alone really...

    Questions about anything

    Why exactly is Kate Upton famous, again? I mean, I think it was because of some kind of scandal, but I can't remember what it was, or why it made her famous. And am I the only one who doesn't find her attractive?

    The Official Top 10 Anything...

    Now that Mila Kunis has been named the sexiest woman of the year, I've been inspired to compile my list of the top 10 most overrated celebrities of our times. 10. Kate Upton 9. Bristol Palin 8. Joel McHale 7. Ryan Seacrest 6. Sofia Vergara 5. Adam Sandler 4. Jim Parsons 3. The entire...

    Creating the Female Body

    As I mentioned in another thread, I tried cutting a styrofoam ball in half for the bust, however, that didn't work too well, because the stiffness of the styrofoam halves pulled the softness of the foam rubber torso out of shape, and it didn't look good; so instead, after fabricating the torso...

    Romney wants to cut funding for PBS and Sesame Street

    It's simple: If Romney wins, we move Canada. THEN: If Romney kills PBS (and Big Bird), we impeach him. THEN: Once Paul Ryan assumes the presidency, we impeach him too. Afterwards, we succeed from the union, and form our own country.

    Video: Big Bird on Saturday Night Live October 6

    Inside Edition did a story today about Big Bird's appearance on SNL, and said that PBS was uncomfortable about Big Bird appearing on the show, during the wake of all this PBS drama and everything, but once they got a copy of the script, and saw that it was politically neutral, they allowed Big...

    What is your strangest habit?

    Yeesh. I had a case of nose bleeds a couple of years ago. Because of it, I had to have the inside of my nostril cauterized to close the broken blood vessels. HURT. LIKE. ELMO. Felt like I was being electructed through my nose, almost as if the doctor was basically taking a bunch of wasps and...

    What is your strangest habit?

    You say "and spots", so I'm just going to assume that you're talking about other areas that people pick at, but they just don't talk about, like when certain places get itchy, but you wouldn't scratch them in public.

    People Who've Remade Their Own Work

    I can't believe I forgot about Bobby "Boris" Pickett... I mean seriously, if you've heard ONE of his songs, you've pretty much heard them all, because they're basically all "The Monster Mash", just with a different dance move ("The Monster Swim" was amusing, but the others were just plain dull...

    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    Caroll was appearing on Dinah Shore with Oscar, and Richard Dawson happened to have been the guest before him; at the time, Dawson supposedly wasn't proud of having done Hogan's Heroes, and didn't like being associated with the series, even though it's what made him famous (pre-Match Game and...

    Things you miss

    Yes! I miss that too! I miss seeing how genuinely excited those kids looked being on the street, and interacting with the people and the Muppets, nowadays, the kids all look robotic and like they dread being there; there are very few exceptions anymore, like that Antonio kid who did a few...
