 ===== It all started when... =====
-What is the Funday Pawpet Show? Well, it started one Sunday back at the end of November 1999. Out of boredom, [[Yappy Fox]] and a few friends got together to try a silly puppet show in his living room behind his couch. This wild idea came to mind when Yappy was looking around at all the odds and ends of computers, audio and video equipment that he had collected. He thought that if he actually connected some of this junk that was collecting dust, he could stream video on the internet, being that there were already a lot of still image web cams, and the start of internet audio-only radio stations. How many non-profit live internet broadcasts do you see? Usually, only the large money mongers can afford to do it. The challenge set in, and since [[character_bios:Yappy|Yappy]] and [[character_bios:Herbie|Herbie]] had already been doing puppet shows for [[Give Kids The World]], they decided that a puppet show might actually attract the interest of an audience. Little did they know that after the first week of acting silly and the audience of 15, it would explode into an expensive weekly endeavor. Fans started flowing in to watch every week, and donations from fans started coming in to try and keep us on the air. FPS is not targeted at kids like the shows at Give Kids the World were, but rather to an older-skewing audience (late teens to early 30s).

+===== Opening Theme Song Lyrics =====
+PAWPET SONG
+I am a little Pawpet
+The cutest on the internet
+I have a show on Sunday
+And everybody watches it
+I bet you think it's easy
+To be a furry cute thing
+No one really cares as long as we look happy
+But hands are in our asses
+It's like we need Ex Laxes
+We're loopy in the head from breathing Yappy's gases
+We have to hold our breath and pray the Toaster crashes
+My friends are filled with suffing
+Their habits are disgusting
+I could tell you more but I can't break the rating
+I don't mean to complain now
+But Ezra smells like dog chow
+Tod sounds like his tongue is stapled into his mouth
+Mutt can lick his own butt and we don't know how
+(CHORUS)
+Pawpets
+We just sing and dance
+We're not wearing pants
+We will burn in Hell
+Satan thinks we're swell
+I haven't got the first clue
+How Arthur got his paws fused
+I don't know who Mach is screwing in the chat room
+But it really makes my skin crawl
+When Java eats his eyeballs
+Devin gets his power from the magic 8 ball
+Temp is crying now 'cause Rasvar's huming Barbie dolls
+I wanted to work for Henson
+But I some how wound up here
+Everyone around me is just plain weird
+I have to act retarded
+For all the boys and girls
+It's almost bad as working for Disney World
+Shak just ate a whole cow
+I think I'm going to puke now
+Even Jimmy's grin can't force the bile down now
+Run the credits soon before I hose the stage down
+(CHORUS)
