Glad I can make 2 minutes of your day :D Also glad you liked the story. That bootleg E.T. looked hilarious. Thanks for sharing. @ Ryan Roe - Wow. Ugly Muppet Pageant. Sounds intriguing. You can use Bert if you'd like as long as you credit the blog. I'll get those production details to you later. I don't know why I didn't post that on the blog. I'll update it tonight for all to see. @ the pizza – Wow. Glad I can make 2 minutes of your day :D Also glad you liked the story.

Those things are crazy... I'm glad you chose to present them to an unsuspecting world. I'm one of the senior contributors at a Muppet fan website called Tough Pigs, and we do an Ugly Muppet Toy Pageant about once a year. I'd like to include that Bert bank in the next one... Would you happen to have a year of production or the name of the company that made it? This was an entertaining post.

That Mickey Mouse is great, hacked paint job and all. At first I liked Bert better, but when I saw the close up of Mickey, I was in love. Keep it up. When I see a new post on my google reader from Weirdo Toys, I know 2 minutes of my workday goes by that much faster. Also, I have a post today on my blog about my own "weirdo toy", a bootleg punching puppet of ET.
