The '''Funday PawPet Show''' is a weekly Internet broadcast featuring the [[puppetry]] talents of several [[Florida Furs]], including show founder [[Yappy Slyfox|Randy "Yappy" Fox]].

*'''Addresses''':
**'''Web site''': http://www.pawpet.tv
**'''LiveJournal''': http://community.livejournal.com/pawpet/
* '''Shown on''': Sundays, from 5:00pm to 9:00pm ET (GMT-5). The schedule observes Daylight Saving Time.
* '''Watch''': http://pawpet.tv/watch/
* '''Rating''': "TV-PG-DLS". The "DLS" is mostly irreverent comedy and mild innuendo, with much of the latter coming from the mouth of [[Poink]]. As Yappy puts it, "Don't just plop your eight year old down in front of the show and let them watch it."

The Funday Pawpet Show originated in November of 1999; Yappy and friends were working on their puppetry at his home when they came up with the idea of streaming a puppet show on the Internet. Various changes have come and gone — in equipment, location, and performers alike — but the show continues to this day, with some gaps and re-runs. The show's 400th episode aired Dec 21, 2008; it will hold its 10-year anniversary in November of 2009. The FPS crew also perform live shows at various [[conventions]] around the country, most notably at [[Megaplex]].

The audience can log onto the [irc://irc.pawpet.org:6667 PawPet IRC server] and join channel [irc://irc.pawpet.org:6667/pawpet #pawpet] to chat with the performers during the show.

== Characters ==
{{main|List of Funday PawPet Show characters}}
The show is hosted by a cast of animal puppets, all mostly made by [[Folkmanis]]. The primary roles are played by the main [[Wikipedia:Master of Ceremonies |Master of Ceremonies]] sheepdog, [[Mutt (PawPet)|Mutt]], along with his sheepdog stand-in, [[Ezra]]. All the while, everyone's favorite [[Poink T. Ferret]] acts as the show's free-willed comic, often with the beloved [[Lili (PawPet)|Lili]] playing along with his lines.

== Format ==
As the show is four hours long, its content is open-ended and nearly all of it is completely improvised. Aside from the opening and closing sequences, other fixed content includes:

* '''Roll Call''', in which a guest or cast member, usually flummoxed by constant /nick changes, attempts to read the screennames of everyone in the IRC channel.
* '''Photo Captions''', in which viewers are encouraged to send in a caption for a humorous photograph.
* '''Shout Outs''', in which viewers and Channel chatters post personal and general interest messages, which are read aloud.
* '''ArtJam''', in which viewers are encouraged to send in original artwork. Current practice is to begin showing these at 8:30, so as to allow for completion of themed pieces, yet leave time for the show to wind down.

Any themes or topics for the evening are either brought up during conversation or are planned out in advance, as in the case of a cast member leaving or a statutory holiday, for example.

'''Spits or Swallows''' is an event held infrequently, in which the cast (and sometimes, guests) give their honest opinions about food items that they taste on camera. The food is usually sent in by viewers, and can range anywhere from obscure Asian beverages to new fast food items; in some extreme cases, the cast has "enjoyed" [[Wikipedia:MRE|MRE]]s, [[Wikipedia:Durian|durian]] fruit and Cheeseburger-in-a-Can.

Guests who visit the show often participate by being interviewed by the PawPets and the IRC audience, and are usually given the '''Pink Flamingos Challenge''', in which they are asked to eat a (preferably chocolate) confection while watching the finale to the film ''[[Wikipedia:Pink Flamingos|Pink Flamingos]]'', in which [[Wikipedia:Drag_queen|drag queen]] [[Wikipedia:Divine (Glen Milstead)|Divine]] eats actual dog feces (during which, "(How Much Is) That Doggie in the Window?" plays.) Because of the graphic nature of this scene, the film itself is forbidden from being seen on screen and only the guests' reactions are taped.

Recently, a segment entitled '''Subservient Fursuit''' has been broadcast on an infrequent basis. It is based on the [[Wikipedia:The_Subservient_Chicken|Subservient Chicken]] viral marketing campaign by [[Wikipedia:Burger_King|Burger King]] and features a [[fursuiter]] having their actions directed by the IRC audience. The word "Fursuit" in the title is replaced by the fursuit's name at the time of the broadcast. While the show is not intended to be rebroadcast or redistributed at any point, many of the Subservient Fursuit segments have wound up on [[Wikipedia:Youtube|Youtube]].

== Contributors ==
The Funday PawPet Show also features videos submitted from its viewers, ranging from homemade films to professional animated shorts to humorous commercials. Several PawPet groups across the United States have also sent in their own videos; these outside contributors include:

* [[Fluff & Such|Fluff & Such Pawpet Productions]]
* [[PawPets West]]
* [[PawPet Rocky Mountain]]
* [[PawPet Monterey Bay]]
* [[PawPet North Coast]]
* [[PawPet South West]]
* [[Southpaw Video Productions]]
* [[Rapid T. Rabbit and Friends]]

== Notable Broadcasts ==

* Show #169 - Broadcast 25 May 2003 - the program featured three segments:
** The "Pawpet Newlywed Game" - three [[Florida Furs|Florida Fur]] married couples play the Newlywed Game.
** A "G-Rated Uber Cute" version of the FPS, including a baby food Spits or Swallows, and over-the-top performing on a completely "clean" version of the program.
** "The Poink Show" - Poink lets loose (with help from the others), explaining the reason for the "Uber Cute" version (a flamewar on the FPS mailing list over certain subjects being "offensive").

== Trivia ==
[[Image:SecondLifeFundayPawPetShow.png|right|thumb|200px|Furs watching the Funday PawPet Show in [[Second Life]]]]
* The show costs around $2,400 (excluding equipment costs) for a year of broadcasting; costs include licensing for the music played on the show, as well as the bandwidth needed for broadcast.

:Increasingly, the majority of the funding for this is provided by donations, and the show has run a number of "telethons" during their history to raise funds. The most recent telethon was on 23 November 2008. As of the closing song $5,142 had been raised. The previous year raised $10,052.
* [[2]] recorded [http://www.ranting-gryphon.com/Music/2-pawpets.mp3 The Pawpet Song] about his friends on the Funday PawPet Show. [http://www.ranting-gryphon.com/Music/2-pawpet_song(lyrics).htm Lyrics]
* 2 was also the inspiration for what was to become Strawberry. When visiting the show after Megaplex 2003, he puppeted along to The PawPet Song with the pink Pecker, and then in a high, skwawky voice, began to complain about arm burn as he was pressed into doing a second song. Almost two years later in 2005, after using the pink Pecker in homage to 2 to puppet to The PawPet Song, Jess used a similar voice to interact with another character afterward — and Liesl followed shortly using a similar voice with the blue Pecker — and Strawberry and Blueberry were born.
* The title animation and logo is the work of numerous people, including:
** [[Herbie Bearclaw]] (original logo)
** [[Rikki-Tik]] ([http://pawpet.tv/pawpet-hampster.mp4 flash version] with singing pawpets)
** [[Nonsanity_Cat]] ([http://www.furnation.com/fluffandsuch//FS-Animated_FPS_small.mov After Effects version] with fireworks)
** Future versions may include elements of [http://www.toonfox.com/share/Flash%20examples/Can't%20Stop%20the%20Rock.swf this flash animation] by [[Brian Reynolds]]
*[[Shawn Keller]] recognized the show's popularity with a half-page ad parody (as ''The Sundae Sock-Monkey Show'') in ''[[Horrifying Look at the Furries]]''
* The show appeared in Jim Groat's ''[[West Corner Of the Park (comic)|West Corner Of the Park]]'' strip on [http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20030411 11 April 2003].
*Many of the puppets appearing on the show were made by [[Folkmanis]].
*Once, on a Sunday when no show was playing, Liesel tried to take roll-call in-channel and was kicked by the IRC bot for flooding.
* The Funday Pawpet Show is referred to in the ''[[Jack]]'' comic arc ''[http://pholph.com/index_a.php?Strip=1030 Those That Run]''.

== Lyrics ==
The closing theme is "Bubbles in the Wine" from ''[[Wikipedia:The Lawrence Welk Show|The Lawrence Welk Show]]'' and the lyrics are as follows:
<pre>
Good night, Good night, until we meet again,
Adios, Au revoir, Auf Wiedersehen 'til then.
And though it's always sweet sorrow to part
You'll know you'll always remain in my heart.

Good night, sleep tight and pleasant dreams to you.
Here's a wish, and a prayer, that every dream comes true.
And now 'til we meet again,
Adios, Au revoir, Auf Wiedersehen.

Good night!
</pre>

MUCK

2008-11-05T19:48:57Z

Sakana Katana:

A '''MUCK''' is an online [[role-playing]] game that is usually text-based and accessible through [[wikipedia:telnet|telnet]], as well as a variety of MUCK clients. The term MUCK doesn't actually stand for anything, but is rather a play on the word "'''MUD'''," which stands for "'''M'''ulti '''U'''ser '''D'''ungeon/'''D'''imension/'''D'''omain." However, the popular [[wikipedia:backronym|backronyms]] for MUCK are "'''M'''ulti-'''U'''ser '''C'''reated '''K'''ingdom" or, "'''M'''ulti-'''U'''ser '''C'''hat '''K'''ingdom."

Each MUCK has its own sets of rules and policies. Some MUCKs allow [[player]]s to be [[Out Of Character]] (OOC) as much as they like, while others require them to be [[In Character]] (IC) more often, or always. Rules can vary in different areas of the MUCK.

Most MUCKs allow players to build. Creation might be restricted to simple objects, expanded to rooms and exits, or policy might allow for complex scripting. The creation and customization aspects of MUCK allow the player base to build a world.

The term "mucking" means playing on a MUCK.

==TinyMUCK Programming Languages==
*[[MPI]] - A macro expansion language used to make descriptions more dynamic, it has grown into a full fledged language on it's own.
*[[MUF]] - The original extension language introduced in TinyMUCK it is faster than MPI and commonly used for larger projects.

==Types of MUCK Servers==
*[[TinyMUCK]] - Original fork of [[TinyMUD]] that added the MUF programming language (as its most notable feature).
*[[FuzzBall MUCK]] - Current most popular TinyMUCK server that runs the two biggest servers.
*[[GlowMUCK]] - FuzzBall variant.
*[[NeonMUCK]] - FuzzBall variant.
*[[ProtoMUCK]] - Branched from both to Glow and NeonMUCK, fairly popular in smaller Mucks.
*[[ngMUCK]] - Not truly a Muck fork, it is an attempt to rewrite the Muck engine, not currently complete.

== Most popular furry-themed MUCKs ==
''This is just a highlight - for a virtually complete list, see [http://tigerden.com/infopage/muck/ Rhal's Furry MU*s Connector] or explore WikiFur's [[:Category:Multiplayer_worlds|multiplayer worlds category]].''

* [[Tapestries MUCK]] - An adult-oriented MUCK with no human characters allowed. This is the largest furry-themed MUCK in terms of users, attaining about 800 connections at peak time.
* [[FurryMUCK]] - The "original" MUCK for furries.
* [[Sociopolitical Ramifications]] - A sci-fi furry MUCK, with 60-80 connections nightly.
* [[Altered Realities]] - A [[transformation]]-themed MUCK.
* [[YIMU Island]] - A MUCK run by Yiffstar.
* [[The Lion King MUCK]] - [[The Lion King]] themed MUCK.
* [[Meadows MUCK]] - North American wildlife themed MUCK.
* [[Le Jardin Mystique MUCK]] - Adult furry themed MUCK.

'''''In The MUCK''''', a song by the furry musician [[Hali|Hali (Matthew Ebel)]], describes and pokes fun at the [[FurryMUCK]] community. The song is hosted at the [[Furry Music Foundation]] and HaliOfFirpine.com. Hali has been known to play this song by request, and played it before a live audience at [[Mephit Fur Meet 2007]].

== Lyrics ==

Well you can catch me behind the bandstand<br>
I'm hangin' in the west corner of the park.<br>
I'll be talking to a dragon who's a vegetarian<br>
and man-eating wolves who are afraid of the dark.<br>
I've never seen a lagomorph light up a pipe,<br>
I've never seen a bengal tiger with a purple stripe,<br>
no I've never heard a mouse with a deafening roar<br>
it's something I've never never seen before.<br>
<br>
CHORUS<br>
If you're in a hurry to be furry<br>
take the phone off the hook<br>
and hop a wagon or a dragon or a taxi<br>
and tell 'em to book.<br>
If you're lookin' for a place you can escape to<br>
then you're in luck.<br>
Check your skin at the door<br>
and come play with us in the MUCK.<br>
<br>
Well there's a mountain lion grinning at me<br>
and I think I may well be his next lunch,<br>
but I think I got a big dragon willing to back me<br>
if the food chain comes to the punch.<br>
Well there's a two-toed bat playing cards with a mink<br>
and there's a packrat making away with the kitchen sink.<br>
Everyone is telling me I'm going insane,<br>
well they're right I think the cat's got my brain.<br>
<br>
CHORUS<br>
If you're in a hurry to be furry<br>
take the phone off the hook<br>
and hop a wagon or a dragon or a taxi<br>
and tell 'em to book.<br>
If you're lookin' for a place you can escape to<br>
then you're in luck.<br>
Check your skin at the door<br>
and come play with us in the MUCK.<br>
<br>
Now I don't know but I been told<br>
you only get meaner when you grow old.<br>
Your everyday life is bought and sold<br>
down at the L&C.<br>
<br>
Now I don't know but I hear tell<br>
there's a fat cat drinkin' with a bat outta hell.<br>
The blades and blood are flying but hey, that's swell<br>
down at the DTD.<br>
<br>
Now I don't know but I done heard<br>
there's a treetop tavern and it's run by a bird.<br>
Bring your wings and if you don't fly it's absurd<br>
down at the NAC.<br>
<br>
Now I don't know but I hear it's true<br>
there's a high-flyin' palace with a swimming pool too.<br>
Beware the dares and if it's your Q be true<br>
down at the POD.<br>
I said down at the POD.<br>
<br>
The hairballs are choking, the hyenas are a-joking<br>
and I'm just wasting time.<br>
I been looking around at all the funky stuff I see<br>
and you're right I think I lost my mind!<br>
<br>
CHORUS<br>
If you're in a hurry to be furry<br>
take the phone off the hook<br>
and hop a wagon or a dragon or a taxi<br>
and tell 'em to book.<br>
If you're lookin' for a place you can escape to<br>
then you're in luck.<br>
Check your skin at the door<br>
and if you gotta make a buck<br>
you build a bar and serve drinks<br>
to rabbits, ferrets, and ducks.<br>
So if you think you're going to like it<br>
and real life sucks,<br>
you check your skin at the door<br>
and come play with us in the MUCK. <br>
<br>
