Man I hate it when I lose something... have you looked in the refrigerator? I tend to lose things in there from time to time. Just recently found an old science project.

Right now I am down in Dallas with my parents helping them with a move and we had ice a sleet the other day which pretty much shut down the city. Seems odd for me since up in KC it would have not stopped many. Then again we are set up for things like this and much worse.  Today we experienced the power shut downs all day.  Evidently they are on purpose and are an attempt to keep wider outages from happening because of high demand. Where my parents are they only last around 15 mins at a time but it really makes it hard to get anything done (like computer work) when at any time the power can go off. They say to expect the same thing tomorrow.

That is sooooo totally cooool!    I kind of like the Kinect but it does wear me out. The games I have so far are more sport related and I was hoping something like this would come out.

It could be they filmed for a different language at first, but it could also be the editors/directors fault.   They could have performed to a different jingle at first and then it was decided to change and they figured it did not matter. The puppeteers could have been long gone by this time.

Great vent dummy! Who is the builder? I hope you told them about PandS.  It would be nice to meet them.

great link for patterns and ideas, but just to warn you all, half way down the page of that link to the hand puppet pattern is a picture that is definately NOT a hand puppet, so just incase there are any young members of P&S, its not a suitable link to follow!!!

At first I thought it was because you might have your filters set to moderate or off but even on strict the image still shows.  I did report it but who knows if that well do any good or how long they may take to remove it. Hard to keep up with spammers and especially ones like this. I am actually surprised you don't get more of these when searching.

That is really wild! Even after watching the foam being cut, I still can't quite figure out how it works.
Is it magic, puppetry or dance? Posted in Is it magic, puppetry or dance? on Jan 18, 2011
This is a very well executed routine.  It shows how you can incorporate a variety of talents into one act.

Re: Do you think it is wrong to replicate muppets? Posted in Do you think it is wrong to replicate muppets? on Jan 14, 2011
There is nothing wrong with or illegal about making something that looks like an established "anything". At least in the US it would be actually be illegal to restrict you artistically.  Many puppeteers seem to even frown on a person making a replica for themselves but I see nothing wrong with it.
