170-Crustacean Shadow Puppetry
11/30/06 at 10:59am

Oh yes, that's right kiddies! I'm going back to two comics a week until this storyline is el-completeo! All the pictures are done, the threads are tied together and since I can't show up at all of your houses and give you presents (I mean I can TRY, but my guess is after twelve houses I'd totally get arrested) this is my little gift to all of you! Also, I'm already to start my new year's resolution of seeing how many places I can get kicked out of for taking pictures of the fluff cast in them! Woo!

Can any of you fellow bad movie fans name the movie Derby is watching?

I tried, I REALLY tried, to not put that python joke in there, but after I wrote the Caviar-Caviar-Caviar part, that's all I could think of! Luckily I get to blame the bad humor on Gary...that silly narrator.

I'm trying to play more with layout, though it's hard using this $100 frankenstein laptop I use when I'm at conventions, one that likes to freeze more than Arnold in that awful Batman sequel. Hey, did you know I saw that movie in a Drive In and instead of making out the whole time it was SOOOO bad it was almost impossible to make out to! Instead me and some of the other cars around us got into the habit of loudly counting the number of bad "cold" puns Arnold made, screaming it out our car windows.

Perhaps my favorite Drive in memory ever. Unfortunately Godzilla Drive In closed soon after that...*sigh*

Lobster on a string..?

Sounds like Mr. Price's work to me...

... now where do I know this from? Roll Eyes

Haha actually you are thinking of the amazing THE TINGLER, which is one of Price's best and features a fake lobster-like rubber toy on a string. This monster was a REAL live lobster they used! Even Price wasn't that tacky!

I do admit that I sometimes have trouble keeping my movies with lobsters on strings straight... it lands me in all sorts of awkward social moments.

Partygoers: "...and you could TOTALLY see the strings! Hahahaha!"

Tone: "Haha - yeah, I love The Tingler!"

Partygoers: (dead silent)

Of course, if you didn't, I'm going to feel silly, but I swear the picture quality (especially the light) is better.

When I see the title "Crustacean shadow puppetry" I think of the song "jungle tea party" that we played on like podcast number 3.

I've got myself quite a growing collection of terribly wonderfully awfully excellent films. I'm quite proud of it.

You got it, Lauren! The movie is TEENAGERS FROM OUTERSPACE, which should really be called PEOPLE IN THEIR THIRTIES FROM OUTERSPACE LIKE LOBSTERS AS PETS.

Yuppers, those them pic-turs were taken with my new camera. I'm starting to get the hang of it more and I think it's really showing through. The next step in "operation make Fluff strips more interesting to look at" is to take a graphic design course and get me a Mac and photoshop. Oooooh. I'm gonna start to play with layout a bit more each time...though I still seem incapable of getting the nerve to put any pictures vertical!

New comic tonight! Woo!
