    The "I Saw Something REALLY Weird Today" Thread

    I saw some pretty interesting people today... Like, you remember the movie "Dodgeball", with that girl scout who was on steroids, and a beaver tranquilizer? Yeah, I saw a girl today who looked just like her: the arm hair, the facial hair, etc. THEN, while at the store, I saw an old man (maybe...

    Facts that don't seem to add up

    I could go on and on and on and on and on and on about M*A*S*H. Like when the show first started in 1972, the network censors prohibited them from saying certain words, like "virgin", however, there's two episodes from the series' second season where the word is used... NURSE: Wadar, can I...

    X.O. Seal

    Oh man, I just finished reading the new episode, and... ROFLMAO! This was THE funniest one yet, not just X.O., but in general, this was THE laugh-out-loud funniest comics you've done yet! There's something about the "stating of the obvious" dialogue in this cartoon in particular: "Why can't...

    MC Forum Awards #7 Nominations/Final Voting Ballot

    That's kind of what I was saying too... Again, I appreciate all the nominations, but again, I don't really feel I qualify for any of them, mainly because there were several extended periods of time during 2010 in which I was absent from MC: both at my will, and against my will. In a small...

    The Chipmunks

    Exactly, they've been just about THAT sue-happy in the past few years or so. A lawsuit was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the trailer for Hop yesterday when I went to see Rango: even the production designing of the movie looked similar to the 2007 Chipmunks movie. It looks like...

    The Chipmunks

    I can't help but envision that there would be YET ANOTHER Bagdasarian Productions lawsuit filed, this time over the new movie Hop, mainly because of how eerily similar it is on so many different levels to the recent movies (right down "From the director of Alvin and The Chipmunks" in the...

    "What a Cartoon!" Cartoon Network Shorts

    While going through an old tape the other day, I found an interesting WAC, see if you guys remember this one... Hillbilly Blue was created by Butch Hartman and Michael Ryan. About a duo of hillbilly animals: a crawdad and a possum, who live out in the sticks, the crawdad is fed up with all...

    Advertisting advice?

    And logic like that makes you wonder also, how do certain videos on YouTube of some of the most mundane things (like a guy freaking out at seeing a double rainbow) become such overnight sensations? Of course, half of the time, those people pay YouTube to give them "premium accounts", which...

    Least likeable Sesame character?

    That was actually well after David left and Mr. Handford took over. Actually, I have that episode on tape, it's from 1995: Gina takes over the daycare, while Carlo assumes Gina's old role as Mr. Handford's assistant, meanwhile, Big Bird rollerskates inbetween both locales to help them both...

    MC Forum Awards #7 Nominations/Final Voting Ballot

    I really appreciate all of the categories I've been nominated for, I really do, but I don't believe I truly qualify for any of them, considering I was absent from the forum for a great deal of 2010... :o

    What do you know about dreams?

    Aww, thanks Toga. And wow, that dream of yours actually sounds quite epic, and yeah, it does sound like something you would write... but now, I have to ask... what exactly is this precious cargo abound the plane that you risk your life to hijack for?

    Project: Snowth - The Thread

    Wow, I hadn't realized it's been so long since I posted updates here. :smirk: Well, at any rate, all there really is to report at the moment is that puppeteers are being lined up, so right now, I have one of two steps that need to be tackled next: meeting with the TV people to talk about the...

    New Puppetry Forums

    *Overly exaggerated OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!* That is such an excellent idea, I hadn't even thought about it before, but it would probably be very beneficial to everybody who uses the Puppetry section regularly for reference, resources, advice, insight, etc.

    What do you know about dreams?

    Oh man... oh man... oh MAN... I hardly got any sleep last night, mainly because I was so fricken constipated all throughout the night, it wasn't funny (I think they put something in that popcorn at the movies yesterday)... but the little sleep I DID get last night... gee whiz... I mean to...

    Sesame Street Character Voice Comparisons

    The latter of the two is Brian, though there have been some sources (like Biography) that incorrectly cited that as Richard's Elmo. It was because they wanted to do sketches with both Grover and Cookie in frame at the same time, and it was easier and more practical to do so with two different...

    Advertisting advice?

    heralde speaks the sad, sad truth. :( I mean, it's really frustrating... if you don't advertise, then people might not know about it, but then if you DO advertise, then people are going to see it as shameless plugging. It's a two way street that doesn't take you to anywhere you want to go...

    Advertisting advice?

    I wish I could help you out Cullen, I really do, but when it comes to advertising, I absolutely and epically fail miserably in that department: if anything, my advertising turned people away, rather than draw people in... often times, advertising is looked down upon, and is seen as "shameless"...

    Least likeable Sesame character?

    In order to identify them, the first Mr. Handford (Leonard Jackson) has darker hair, and glasses; the second (David L. Smyrl) has graying hair, and it thinner. I think perhaps another reason why Mr. Handford, as a character in general, didn't quite work out was because he was essentially a...

    Least likeable Sesame character?

    Well, there were actually two Mr. Handfords: the first portrayed by Leonard Jackson for his debut season, then David Langston Smyrl played him until 1998. Jackson's Mr. Handford was, indeed, generally depicted as kind of a cranky, grumpy old man, but then again, the character was supposedly a...

    Just a friendly reminder to everybody: if you don't agree with the governMENTAList fatcats, and their "views" on world currency markets or something like that... DON'T set your clocks ahead tonight. According to the European Union (who observes the original DST that we did), you're not...
