wondering about this for a while

[penguinman]

hello,
i was just wondering about these two things for a while.

1. why do all the administrators and people volenteering for ofpec have muppets in there picture place? is it just a coincidence or kind of like a hat or somthing that a company makes employes wear?

2. whats with the lama stuff? its so random its funny, is that the point of it?

those are just two things ive always wondered about ofpec.
thanks

Both questions for the admins... they're the ones with the answers... I believe I know the answer to number one, but its not my place to say.

1. Muppet? What's a muppet? ;D

2. I think it's the default comment line for the yabbse forum software we're using...

[Triggerhappy]

you never watched the muppet show when you were little? (hint:Kermit the Frog)
Have you seen sesame street ever?

they're just puppets really, i don't know why they changed the name to muppets

I think he was ironic, Trigg.

I know where it started, but I ain't tellin' ya! ;D

About two. Yes, it's the default YaBBSE line. I installed my own YaBB SE ('cause YaBB really suck) forum the other day and coughed out my tea when I saw I'm a llama. ;D

I think Jim Henson (creator of The Muppet Show) explained it like this:

The Muppets are puppets in a musical show, i.e - they are musical puppets, aslo known as muppets.

hmm i guess the muppit show is only in america.

basicly muppits are singing talking puppets that are on a TV show that american children watch. i used to watch it when I was little.   ;D

he he, this always raises questions.

A long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away ....  err wait sorry, wrong story. ;D

A long while ago, a couple of the staff were mucking round with new avatars.
As an experiment, it was decided that we'd try giving all the staff a Muppet / Sesame Street avatar as a sort of "site identity" thing (and yes, just to have some fun. )

It fizzed out as an idea in the long term but it was an amusing episode in OFPEC's history and some of us have retained our avatars "just because", hence the preponderence of Muppets in the place.

Hope that clears that one up.

I'm in the states, and watched just about every muppet/puttet kid show there was...

@Noon:

I should get a muppet. I hate my banana. It's boring. Yeauck. :'(

[macguba]

Never liked the Muppets.    Except the two old guys in the balcony.

As for the banana, I don't know which would upset me more - it going, or it staying.
