The RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) Puppet Conspiracy is an Insurrectionist Punk Puppet Troupe that writes, builds, and performs original shows intended to squeeze into any and every coffee shop, street corner, living room, dumpster, and theater with the goal of turning angst into a riot. We are an itinerant pile of papier-mâché slinging, generalist, trouble making trouble makers, based loosely in Vermont, Texas and points in between and beyond. We're available at the drop of a hat, we can turn on a dime, and we usually do our shows by donation...
The Company RPM has produced a puppet show based upon the Large Hadron Collider! called The Standard Model

MemberOvomorphDec-03-2012 2:19 PMIndeed, you can't have Thunderbirds without the vehicles!
I found this - [b]Melonpool: The Motion Picture[/b]

[i]Melonpool: The Motion Picture is a comic adventure in space. Hapless captain Mayberry Melonpool leads an unlikely crew — a mad scientist, a sassy medical doctor, a malfunctioning robot, a talking dog and a giant mutant hamster — on a series of disastrous missions that end with one crew member missing in action and the rest going their separate ways.[/i]

MemberOvomorphDec-03-2012 2:33 PMIt looks and sounds adorably crazy - I'll be keeping an eye out for it.

MemberOvomorphDec-03-2012 7:14 PMWell Tanky, all you needed was a little help from your friends. This is an awesome thread. I had forgotten about the Steampunk puppet in '1884'. Big fan of Terry Gilliam. He always has amazing movie sets. And who can forget "The Thunderbirds". I can't because my nick name was Virgil in High School and at University. I have bushy eye brows. Black like Virgil's. ^^ "Thunderbirds are go!" Can anyone remember what FAB stood for? Was it "FAB?" I can't remember...

tankgirl
Social LiasonMemberOvomorphDec-03-2012 7:18 PMYou are SO right Albert : D
Im lucky to have such wonderful friends!!!
Or should I say Virgil!! ha ha ha ha ha
awwww
so cute!
Hugs him : )
I looked up the meaning of FAB cause I didnt know either
this is what I found:
[i]The Thunderbirds' radio code "F-A-B", meaning "message received and understood", didn't stand for anything, it was just supposed to sound "hip". In fact, when asked what it stood for, Gerry Anderson once replied, with some bemusement, "Fab," as though it were obvious. Later, due in part to fan-submitted stories, F-A-B came to mean Fully Advised and Briefed, in keeping with P-W-O-R (Proceeding With Orders Received), a similar radio confirmation code in the series Stingray.[/i]
[b]This had me laughing so much!![/b]
some quotes
Prof. Matt Matic: Now now, Venus, none of your feminine intution. Let's stick to the facts.
