If Jay were not awesome, I would not be making a talking colon.

Tomorrow I’ll start the mech for the “mouth” of the colon.

You are about to give a whole new meaning to the phrase “Jay talks out his…” (which Jay doesn’t actually do, but still)

I reckon so. It’s just a puppet of the section they removed.

From the drawing, it doesn’t look like a full-size, full-length model of a colon.

Does that make it a semicolon?

I would hope that is your strangest commission. It’s neat that you are doing that. I’m glad it all worked out for him.

There’s a lady who does breast puppetry with her real breasts.

I, for one, am just incredibly thankful that he didn’t have breast cancer.

This is so beauitfuul. Yay Jay for spitting in cancer’s face, er, well, or colon…and you, too, for being right there, helping him do it, too. It’s a great thing, you know? Up yours, cancer! Well, you gotta laugh.

Of course if you had asked, “Who’s weirder, Jay for asking or me for being really excited to build it,” I might have given you a different answer.

By: Mary Robinette Kowal

Um… I guess Jay, ’cause talking colon isn’t that different from talking snake.

By: Jeff

So who’s weirder…Jay for asking? Or you for having the talent to make a talking colon?

Then again, I just put a fetus on leather…
