This goes back to at least 1969. H R Pufnstuf was a Sid & Marty Krofft show about a kid stranded on a magical island. Every episode he tries to leave, and every episode he failed. I don't know why everyone else thought it was adorable because 8 year old me found it depressing as fuck¹. Let's have some resolution each episode, please!

¹would not have said "fuck" at the time

i really could write an essay on how shit is that we’ve completely abandoned the monster-of-the-week episode format even when rebooting shows that relied on it to replace them with grimdark edgy plotlines where nothing feels good or accomplished at the end of the day

No updates to the app today, not that I didn't work on it. I was even too grumpy for video games. It was not a good day. I ate pizza even though I know I'm allergic. It's like would it be better to occasionally have a pizza and it hurts myself. IDK I feel like I can't control myself. I have an idea for a soap thing but it's like that not very vertically integrated of you. I'm leaning more towards using GraphQL instead of a REST API, just for ease of use. I tried the like I browser dev environment that was suggested from the remix tutorial. I made sure the instances were stopped, it was a pretty frustrating user experience, I don't remember what it was called git or but something. But I'll try the whole thing again in there. It's like 50 free hours / month if you link LinkedIn and if it can get me past the issue I was having with Prisma. When I did look at the Prisma documentation it seems like you need a database set up to use it and I don't have a database set up, unless there is one already there in the automation of the tutorial that I didn't see. As far as dev environments I think I can do just fine in a multipass or on my windows box. The other thing I've been doing for my birthday is binge watching HR pufnstuf (it's on the internet archive) it's been on my mind since I started using metasploit's LESTER (Local Exploit SuggesTER) on Kali for some hack the back stuff. It was the first thing I thought of, one of the doors in Wilhelmina Whack Witchiepoo's living castles is named Lester. As an adult I can see why people consider it to be cursed media but still mid key obsession with it. Like this is before googly eyes were widely available. The scale and scope of the production is bizarre. I'm still confused why it's hasn't had a reboot, particularly since that's where those stupid McDonald's characters are from. But while it it cursed and obscure, like couldn't find name of the talking door, had to go watch it, it kinda just makes me miss working with puppets. No not like chef and ansible, I used to make and performing with puppets. I thought they were going to be a large part of my life but I guess I was wrong about that. I guess it's just more reason to get back into animatronics. I'm going to go eat pizza now even though it's after 3 am on my birthday day and I have to be up in 6 hours.

Marty Krofft (April 9, 1937 – November 25, 2023) Producer and writer who with his brother Sid Krofft produced numerous children's television and variety show programs in the U.S., particularly in the 1970s, including H.R. Pufnstuf, Land of the Lost, and Sigmund and the Sea Monsters. Their fantasy programs often featured large-headed puppets, high-concept plots, and extensive use of low-budget special effects.

The Kroffts favoured quirky superhero stories, often with children portraying the heroes or part of a hero team. Particularly visionary and popular Krofft productions have included The Bugaloos (1970), Lidsville (1971), Sigmund and the Sea Monsters (1973–1975), Land of the Lost (1974–1976), The Lost Saucer (1975), Electra Woman and Dyna Girl (1976), and Wonderbug (1976–1978).

The Kroffts have occasionally departed from their formula while making new programs, such as on Pryor's Place (1984) and the political puppet satire show D.C. Follies (1987). They have attempted to update some of their classic series for a younger generation, including new versions of Land of the Lost, Electra Woman and Dyna Girl, H.R. Pufnstuf��and Sigmund and the Sea Monsters. A new original series, Mutt & Stuff, aired on Nickelodeon from 2015 to 2017. (Wikipedia)

I imagined H. R. Pufnstuf riding around with semi automatic weapons - shooting “black” males with rubber bullets. Not so cops would stop killing us. So, we would stop killing each other.

[the-muppet-joker]

I have decided to explore my attraction to puppets further than my attraction to Kermit by examining whether I feel lust for certain puppets and why. I have decided to examine H. R. Pufnstuf first as I have found him deelpy attractive, even as a youth. I am, of course, ranking how lustful these puppets make me on five different factors:

Style, Kinks, Anatomy, Fertility, and Treatment. This will be known as the SKAFT meter. With that explained, let us dive right in.

Style: All he ever wears is a blue sash. Not good.

Kinks: I feel that HR Pufnstuf would be into bondage. I often fantasized that he would take off that blue sash, revealing it to be a long blue ribbon, and tie me up in the most delightful positions. Highly appealing.

Anatomy: He is very large, which can be appealing in many ways. I also enjoy how large his mouth is. However, his head is just so large and the proportions to his body are odd... I am conflicted

Fertility: I think HR Pufnstuf would be infertile, unfortunately. He does not appear breedable, nor does he have traits indicative of his ability to breed others. Not good.

Treatment: He would be a tender lover. A soft dom. He would make me feel taken care of and held while pleasuring me... Highly appealing.

Overall ranking... 5/10. I could go either way with HR Pufnstuf. Let me know what your thoughts are, fellow puppet enthusiasts, and which puppets I should rank in the future.

[captain-is-king]

as the submitter, let me just say from the bottom of my heart, i love you. thank you for defending h r pufnstuf’s dragon-ness. he is a dragon. i hate how he looks but he does hold sentimental value and the fact that he is a dragon is undeniable lol

also i’m not above playing dirty, so if anyone is on the fence about voting no on h r pufnstuf, please know that my dad is dead so he cannot be here to defend mr pufnstuf himself. he would want you to vote yes.

(also i can’t talk about my dad without mentioning that i am very passionate about grief and how we as a society, esp in america, handle death and loss and the trauma associated with it so if you want to hear me rant about grief or if you want to talk about how much grief sucks, my askbox is always open)

Reasoning:

My dad watched this show when he was a young kid and showed me part of an episode one time when I was maybe 10 and it haunts me to this day because that puppet is so fucked up looking. Please don’t actually include this character or maybe do, i just had to share this creature with someone. but it’s up to you, and the other submissions. if you didn’t know about hr pufnstuf before, now you know. i am sorry to burden you with this, but also thanks for bearing this burden with me. it’s just such a creepy looking puppet.

Here's my beef with mr. bonzo's design as someone who hasn't listened to tmapg. I think it's cheap to copy an already known mascot :/ it feels like if I did a green color of h r pufnstuf and named him h r gruffytuff

[wily-one24]

Thanks for bringing back the h r pufnstuf nightmares with a single tag. The trauma never truely leaves you.

It really doesn't, does it?

You're so very welcome, m'dear. I am glad to share the trauma together.
