Only By Repeatedly Exposing It To Loud Doses Of Big Band Music Can We Hope To Forestall Its Urge To Bite Jagged Chunks From The Children

The Olympics, American Style.

F'd Puppet of the Week 8/3/08

With all the crap I am dealing with right now I was none to fired up for the trip to Cirque du Soleil that my sister had planed for today, but I succumbed to the welcome break from reality, and all the lights, colors and wonders I saw today have me in a milder, melancholy mood. So I offer up this sweet little gem of the famous and rather dull puppet circus from the 1950's. It's like when I was finishing college and used to come home from class and watch "Saved by the Bell". Sometimes you just want to let your brain veg-out. Enjoy.

Show's over kids.

F'd Puppet of the Week 7/13/08

Now I know what became of my old friend from high school - Todd Agusto. His Elvis-likeness was famed in and out of the halls of Lincoln-Way. I lost track of him a couple of years into college. He apparently has been shrunk by some kind of evil genius and is now performing as the dummy in a ventriloquist act in Vegas. The strange part about the whole thing is, it doesn't surprise me.

WTF?

F'd Puppet of the Week 6/29/08

I present this in honor of Gay Pride Month. Why hasn't THIS old TV show been made into a movie yet? And I think we have discovered what drove a young Corey Feldman to drugs...

F'd Puppet of the Week 6/15/08

Advisory - Contains violence, harsh language, and a puppet that will give you nightmares on par with that freaky clown from Poltergiest.

Why does this have better production value than the last three Tim Burton movies???

F'd Puppet of the Week 5/26/08

Yes, the man who created Davey and Goliath is now finding out first-hand if God really loves him. In his memory I present the most inexplicable episode - "The Time Machine". It is after all more plausible that a little boy, his sister and his talking dog would travel through time then some crappy kids show bringing about Christian peace and harmony.

Were I physically capable of getting a woody, I'd have one for this. A lovely combination of puppets, zombies, gore and the wild west.

F'd Puppet of the Week 5/11/08

I actually enjoy this one. It is done in the style of an old Burns and Allen episode, complete with corny jokes. But the direct approach actually makes it funny. Enjoy!

F'd Puppet of the Week 5/5/08

I'm sure that SNL stole the idea for Tonto, Tarzan & Frankenstein from this Muppet classic. It's just so darn silly and is done as if the characters were dead serious about it, it always cracks me up.

F'd Puppet of the Week 4/27/08

In honor of my sisters' birthday.

F'd Puppet of the Week 4/20/08

I could use a couple of these little fellows right about now...

F'd Puppet of the Week 4/13/18

I LOVE this guys stuff. It is for me the perfect blend of horror, gore, humor and genuinely well executed puppet arts. Enjoy.

F'd Puppet of the Week 3/30/08

Fredrick had an imaginary friend called Mr. Buttons. Mr. Buttons spoke into Fredricks ear through a link of psychic energy tendrils. He told Fredrick wonderful things like stories of magical creatures in far off lands, and all about the secret drawer in Daddy's dresser where the gun was. At the trial Fredrick told everyone about Mr. Buttons, but they did not believe him. Just before the execution, Fredrick painted this picture, and then he cheated justice by choking himself to death in his cell with his own sock. The End.

This delightful little scamp is a minor celebrity in England. I think it's his excellent puppet manipulation and simple charms that attract me the most. Happy Easter to all!
