Random Fun Fact

I learned today that “pretty as a puppet” is one way to say a girl is cute or attractive.  I don’t know how you ladies feel, but in my limited experience with puppets I cannot consider this a flattering comparison.  Maybe after I’ve experienced some of CR’s cutting-edge puppet theatre I will change my mind.
