Blimey!

For Christmas this year, my wonderful wife got me a wonderfully hideous pirate puppet. The pictures I'm finding online don't do him justice, truly.

Here's the best likeness I can find:



Here's the thing. That ratty, stringy dyed-wool hair? It looks a lot like actual hair on the puppet. And despite the nose out of an old Rankin-Bass animation, he really does have a sufficiently "really ugly little person" look to put him squarely in the Uncanny Valley.

He's awesome.
