With an old sock, a few buttons and other things found around your home or office, you may fashion the likeness of your favourite Halbaker in the delightful medium of sock puppet.
Over time, your collection of HB puppets will grow and you can gaily sit in front of your monitor re-enacting the postings,
annotations, and conversations in a series of silly voices.
(?) Well, whoever it is, it can't be me...

I seem to remember you threatening to do this in another post..... :-) |
|

"yes it's true - monojohnny" (said via sock puppet) |
|
| |
your's is holding a small jar... |
|
| |
[po]'s - a red sock with a little circular antenna ?! :-) |
|
| |
Don't be silly, [Ian Tindale], socks, let alone of the puppetry persuasion, don't get up and type messages on the Halfbakery, no more than they get up in the middle of the night and find the place that is furthest from their partners... hey, wait a minute...! |
|
| |
And anyways, who are we to tell who are the sock puppets and who aren't? Unless you somehow happen to find the modem address thingummy of other halfbakers. |

I had tea the other day and everybody was there! We had such a good time! [benfrost] kept asking for more jam for his croissant, <said in high pitched voice> "I like jam. Jam is my favorite." <sihpv> |
|
| |
Then the bad man in white made me eat some magic pills and I went to dreamless sleep and everybody went away again... |
|
| |
+ please use a silk stocking for mine. |
|

I think we should all make our own likenesses and then send them to ben. |

Left hand: “What do we think of this idea?”
Right hand: “I dunno. It sounds kinda silly.”
Left hand: “Well I like it.”
Right hand: “Well you would.”
Left hand: “Whaddya mean by that?”
Right hand: “Well you always like the idiotic ideas.”
Left hand: “I do not!”
Right hand: “Of course you do. You went all ga-ga when that bacon-fax thing was posted.”
Left hand: “Well it was a splendid idea.”
Right hand: “It wasn’t. It was idiotic.”
Left hand: “It was magnificient! Your problem is that you’ve got no sense of humour.”
Right hand: “Of course I’ve got a sense of humour. Your problem is that you’ve got no sense at all.”
Left hand: “You take that back!”
Right hand: “Will not.”
Left hand: “Take it back now!”
Right hand: “Shan’t!”
Left hand: “Take it back now or I’m going straight to the sewing box for a darning needle.”
Right hand: “Oh here we go again with the threats.”
Left hand: “I mean it this time. I’ve had just about enough of your patronising taunts.”
Right hand: “Oooh! I’m so scared!”
Left hand: “Okay. You asked for it!”

I don't know about sock puppets, but I might be willing to slap mimes. |
|
| |
Aw hell, I'm just gonna end up as a white sock, are't I? Damn. |
|
| |
Sounds like we'll need two for [DrB]. |

|

Now there's a bizarre image. |
|
| |
We only need one sock puppet. Aren't we all [UnaBubba]? |
|

/Aren't we all [UnaBubba]?/ |

<Life of Brian> I'm UnaBubba and so is my wife! </LoB> |

What's stopping you [po]? |
|

Naturalist sock puppets are, at this very moment in time; chewing on pencils, eating steering wheels, nibbling on zips and buttons, and in some locations, snogging in meeting rooms across the world. Will no one stop this debauchery? |
|
| |
yeah but do they keep their socks on? |
|
| |
Actually, if one was to try and recreate an HB posting, finger puppets might work better! More friends! |
|
| |
Watch out! It's a stitch up... the mighty [UB] is on a pun-walk. |
|
| |
I think he's saying that he wants his sock to be holey. |
|
| |
[benfrost] You might like to check out the rest of the link I posted. "The Lady From Sockholm" is the first ever sock puppet film noir... |
|
| |
you might be on to something here... |
|
| |
inside every puppet is a fist. |
|
| |
xandram - that's exactly how i imagine all the bakers dressed up for a night on the town, but as sock puppet. |
|
| |
Any sock puppets engaging in street walking and solicitous activities might be described (in a rather derogatory way) as hose. |
|
| |
And a TV program in which such creatures were spruced up (perhaps by the darning of sequins and the like) might be shown on MTV. |
|
| |
Indeed. It's nylon impossible to pun-trump yourself, [UB]. |
|
| |
You're giving me a stitch. |
|
| |
Toe the line!? Never. I'm not one to march in-step - I'd rather soledier on against an arch-punster like you. |
|
| |
In order to toe the line with precision, you might have tabi some of those Japanese-style socks. |
|
| |
I'm already a sock puppet in millions of homes around the globe. When the washer/dryer eats one of a pair of socks, you still have |

You must be thinking of the DrBob sock puppet. |

Shoe can read it anyway you wish! |
