What's up with the sock puppets? Is there an inside joke I'm not in on?

It's a joke we're playing on another member (Pshrynk) who's currently on holiday (but keeps popping in from time to time anyway).

I'll be back with the relevant links if some-one doesn't beat me to it

Edited to add

See this post (complete with its own links off to other relevant threads/posts) in this thread for the full, unutterably silly, details

I have to say, I have grown so much from my journey into sock puppet land. I never knew I had the artistic talent and creative instincts within me. I am certainly a different person now that I have a psockpppenguin.

Well I hope Pshrynk enjoys the joke, because chupacabra is getting a nasty rash (athletes foot in mouth) and is beginning to faint from lack of air.

About half a year ago, more or less, the pandorg (panda borg = adorable pandas that were so cute that they could brainwash anyone into doing their bidding) invaded MR and attempted to acutelate (a-CUTE-alate - the process of brainwashing due to overwhelming cuteness) everyone.

Pshrynk was the most profoundly affected and became a "puppet" of his pandorg overlords. Psockpuppet even has his own MR identity with karma and everything. It sort of pops up from time to time and babbles incoherently.

(Do a member search for posts by Psockpuppet)

Pshrynk is almost back to normal, but sometimes relapses to Psockpuppet. He is unaware of these times. It usually takes a LOT of Zany Carter Deluxes and a romp through time to shake him out of it. So, while he is on vacation, everybody is switching to their own psockpuppets in order to mess with Pshrynk's head.
