'Sup, pogs!
Let's all go to the movies, and let's all see the same movie, and let's discuss it here.
Gabe loves fan fiction. You Can Make It Up features his own personal alternate adventures starring some of our favorite characters.
After watching Death Sentence, a terrible movie starring Kevin Bacon as a father in search of vigilante justice directed by Saw's James Wan, Gabe embarked on The Hunt For The Worst Movie of All Time. This is his sad journey.
Jim Henson’s pilot for Ziggy was rejected because it was deemed by network executives as “too funny for audiences.”
And also because it was about a short, fat, bald man who never wears pants.
Tuff Gong should’ve gotten a handle on that early on with a strict regimen of diet, exercise and pants. Everyone knows that’s what made the man himself to memorable. And drugs.
This perfectly balances my love of Jim Henson with my hatred of The Wizard of Id. Yin and Yang!
So I just found out the grumpy old couple next door (who moan about the noise all the time) are the parents of the cute girl I always see at the library. D’oh!
It’s cool. If she’s always at the library she’s probably a nerd anyway.

yeah, you’re right…
urghhh, nerds!!
Trippy, but not as trippy as Sid & Marty Kroft’s Funky Winkerbean.*
*Son of Gabe, ask your local comic book guy.
Probably for the best because I only have room in my heart for one group of royal puppets, and that would be
It’s kind of awesome how the Wizard’s voice is a blend of Ernie from Sesame Street and Rowlf from The Muppet Show.
(I tried to come up with something snarky to say about this, but I just couldn’t. Too awesome, I guess?)
Spielberg had his “1941.”
Springsteen had his “Lucky Town.”
Jim Henson had his “Wizard of Id.”
Well, now I’ll just have to mumble “…almost,” right after I gush to people at parties how much I love EVERYTHING Jim Henson ever did.
I really loved this but can we talk about the king’s second mustache on his chin?
double mustache all the way across the face

Talent aside, any of you guys ever read about the crazy religious comments Johnny Hart made in his later years? Yikes.
Beats the lasagna out of Garfield and Friends.
WHAT! No way, what about Wade and Sheldon?
Am I the only one amazed that they got the right “its” in the title?
Rhubarb Pie.
I was watching the WHOLE THING (holy crap. it was going on FOREVER!) and THEN the wizard said his spell! Super cute. That almost gave me four minutes of my life back.

I prefer the wry political commentary of King Friday the XIII.
In the green area of the Venn Diagram of Jim Henson and Kingly Things there is also this thing which is SUPER.
