www.TheDummyBlog.com — This is an unusual unboxing because I’m not opening a traditional, hard ventriloquist figure but a soft figure instead. I don’t have a ton of soft puppets, but I do have a few and I actually use them more than most of my hard figures.

I also like to have soft version of all the traditional figures I use in shows so that I can travel with them easily and not worry about them getting banged up.

This puppet is Barry Gordemer’s version of my Major Hardwood character that was made by Chance Wolf. I used Chance’s Rocko figure and had a custom military outfit made for him and created the character of Major Hardwood the Social Media Drill Sargent.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
