I posted a similar question about a week ago, and no one
responded. I think this a very sophisticated show and the
fact that his name is Handupme and he's a puppet is just a
little too obvious.

I think your explanations are possible, but I would not be surprised to find
that 'Howard' is the name of the muppeteer operating the muppet!
Gotta love it

The pun would be complete if I could think of a real newscaster named
"Howard (something)" that sounded like "Handupme" -- but I can't.
Of course, I don't watch much TV news, either. Can anybody?

Personally, I think it was because he *DOES* have a hand up him. He's a
puppet.
That's the way I like to think of it at least... <grin>

Well, if you'll look closely, you'll see that Handupme is a scrambling of the
letters that spell Phundame which is the root form of the original version of
Fundementalist. So, he's actually poking fun at the Televangelists who are
nothing more than the mouthpieces of divine will. See how much clearer things
become when you do without sleep for extended periods?

I missed the last 7 minutes of the last episode - Rob becomes the leader
of the Scavengers. The last thing I saw was Rob lifting out of the coffin
saying that he was alive also. Could I get a quick synopsis of what
happened after that?? Greatly appreciated.

I'll give it a go but I'm bound to leave something out...
Robbie jumps out the coffin to announce he's alive too. Robbie says Andre
can have his jacket back and be the leader of the Scavengers again. But
Andre (and his gang) say that the only way he can be leader again is the
traditional way... eating the previous leader. A fight ensues (but we don't
get to see it). The next scene is in the Sinclairs kitchen. Everyone,
including Baby, is wrapped in bandages. Spike comes in and tells them what a
tough little fighting group they are (as he buries his head in the pot on
the stove once again).
I don't recall whether they said what condition the Scavengers were in after
the fight.

The only thing I'll add to this is that at the beginning of the show,
Robbie walks into the Sinclair kithcen holding a handkerchief to his
nose, his clothes are all ripped up & he's obviously been in some type
of scuffle. Fran (the Momma) asks him what happened, he says nothing.
Charlene then walks in and says that a pack "mopped up the street"
with him. They actually picked him up by the legs & used his head as
a mop. Charlene also comments that the street never looked so clean.
Robbie then decides to ask his friend Spike to get him into the
"Scavengers" because there's strength in numbers.
I agree with the earlier comment about seeing Dino-Robbie & other
pack members drinking beers etc. I'm no angel, but it did seem rather
out of place on Dinosaurs.

could someone out there give Rodney a catch up on that episode? He mailed
me directly about it because he got no response from the net, but I did
not catch that episode at all, so I dont know the answer.
Anybody? If you dont want to flood the newsgroup, then just send it to him
directly as a reply instead of a followup.
Thanks
