Sometimes crochet can go sort of….wrong.
Sure, the little girl looks vaguely happy but did you take a look at the puppets’ faces? Something isn’t right here.
Does it bother anyone else that the girl appears to have either three arms or two arms and one VERY flexible leg?
That is hilarious! This explains why I have never got that “crafty”. The end result is just too damn scary!
those are great… I want to make those to torture my husband… I will only talk to him through the hand puppets.
These are all awesome, but I think the bunny is the best one. It looks like it would have a nasally voice.
Now, what the hell would a rooster, a duck, and a bunny have to talk about?
That’s not an arm.
You’ve lived too rough a life, if you think that little girl’s expression of abject despair can be described as “vaguely happy”!
Maybe it’s not an arm,…but maybe it’s not a leg either.
Sincerely,
Captian Obvious
I am almost embarrassed to write this, but I bought that crochet book at a craft store by my office a month or so ago. The store’s awesome, it looks like the stock hasn’t changed since the late 70s/early 80s, and I’ve had a yen for making a crocheted bunny…but you’re right, it is pretty sad-looking.
Hmmmm. Maybe whatever’s holding the duck up is responsible for Ms 101 Toasty Sweaters’ “look”???
I’m crying and my tummy hurts. In a good way.
I haven’t laughed this hard in AGES! Thank you
I think you should add another plea for death…under the girls’ head. How about “shoot me in the head, please?” That helmet head teased hair! Her mouth is smiling, but her eyes plead for sudden, painless death.
“Animated hand puppets”?
Only if you take them off the hand and slip ‘em over an open bottle of bourbon. They’ll be PLENTY animated then.
The girl could also probably use an open bottle of bourbon.
Actually, the duck and bunny are probably covering open bottles of half-drunk bourbon, which explains the look on the girl’s face.
I think the bunny looks like he is about to spew chunks!!!! ISH!! What a hilarious site- I almost peed my pants from laughing so hard…try explaining THAT whilst you are supposed to be “hard at work”!!
I made some of those Barbie clothes and there stil in one of my granddaugters’ collections
I too am embarrassed that I actually wasted the time to look at this site. Maybe the person doing the “pretend” psych ed should change schools? Y’all need help and that is an understatement. And while I’m at it, what’s wrong with learning to sew? Might be a better use for your time “young ladies.” Decrying the past, which is more often than not, a component of the present and future: is what aimless wimps do who make no positive contribution to society.
Dear Shari Lewis A.K.A. Sylvia,
Thank you for your positive contribution to society. You are truly an American hero for crocheting a sock puppet.
P.S. Lamb Chop was delicious.
ummm…heard anymore from Sylvia?? She was here earlier working with glue, and come to find out, she didn’t take her meds this morning and, frankly, we’re more than a little concerned. We’re considering doubling the dosage. (Or maybe halving it?)
Anyway, keep up the good work you two! The world needs more laughter and sarcasm. Your site is more fun than the time my seventh grade teacher asked me if I wanted to get some “extra credit” by “helping out” around her apt over the weekend.
Aimless wimps of the world unite! We now have a rallying call! It’s hard work, being an aimless wimp.
Fisting the Easter Bunny and some barnyard fowl to the elbow was only a prelude of what was to come for Ms. Jamieson. Young Jenna seems to be getting too much pleasure from making that rabbit want to cry like Nancy Kerrigan.
‘Greg’ seems a little constipated himself. Maybe he could benefit from the ‘long arm’ of the law using him like a sock puppet as well. He’s wound tighter than Jerry Falwell at a gay pride parade.
Oops! It was Greg not Sylvia that got bent out of shape…sorry, Sylvia
My apologies to Sylvia for insinuating that she was Shari Lewis, when it should have been perfectly clear by the sexist and stupid “young ladies” remark that Shari was in drag. Since we have been properly scolded about our unladylike behavior, I would be happy to share my secret recipe for mint chops if anyone is interested. None for you, though Greg… You should be out hunting buffalo or whatever it is you big strong menfolk do with yourselves.
Hey wait, Tonya…us menfolk fix things too, don’t forget that
you(2) are amazing! I laughed & laughed (Ken & Barbie epic-someone was paid to come up with these patterns & then they were used-its such a sick, sad world!). And then I hit the clowns – laughed so hard I cried. May I please swipe the “Depressed Clown Head on a Stick” image (w/ props to be given always)? It just says so much about my worldview just now.
SammyP,
You hunt AND fix things? You can have the recipe. If you know how to cook I’m marrying you.
I almost died laughing when I read these comments. So here’s my interpretation:
the chicken got hopped; the bunny got crowed and the duck got naught, nada, NOTHING!!
girls, these comments make me hurt from laughing. seriously. i am in pain… right now.
i laughed so card i cried. then i beat myself in the head just for fun so i could forget it, then reread it like it was the first time…..
