Ask Ken at Palisades

[matleo]

I have a question....

..and an answer to Luke's question

First Ken,
have you guys thought about what colors you're going to use for the Zoot repaint? I was inthe fabric store theother day and saw this pasley print and thought "That would be an awesome short for Zoot!" And it owul be in character. I think in Muppets celebrate Jim Henson (or some special) this is how Zoot dressed. it was just like his old shirt but with a pasley pattern on it. You might even be able to figure out a way to do a paint shield of some sort for it too if it really is a pattern. Hmmmm....


Oh Luke,
I'd save the penguin but as I was doing it, i'd shove a dime a diem in his hand, pick him up, and launch him into the toy store with the lats of the ultra super cool and very rare figures. Then Having saved his life, the penguin would owe me and buy me an action figure with the very dime I shoved in his hand.

You see a blind Penguin crossing the road and it looks like he is about to get run over, BUT there is also a large crate of ultra rare exclusive action figures being sold at 10 cents a fig nearby, and they are nearly all sold out. You notice that the Penguin is proudly displaying his membership card from the Palisades Club on his lapel. Will you save the Penguin or go buy the last rare Action Figure ?

Save the penguin.

You customer ALWAYS comes first...

Interesting answers people - Matt's answer shows he's cunning yet compassionate, Ken takes a straight down the line no nonsense approach without a thought for his own well being. Very admirable both of you.

Y'see it's amazing what kind of psychological profile you can get from asking questions about Penguins - everyone should do it !

I would buy the figures, as then I know have something to throw at the penguin, knocking him out of harms way

Wait, is this your normal run-of-the-mill type blind penguin or is it one of those exploding blind penguins? 'Cause if it were an exploding penguin, I'd let it go. There's nothing like a cool explosion to accentuate the moment as you purchase your super-rare action figure, hold it aloft in the air, and proclaim, "Behold, I am The Mighty Collector! I reign supreme!"

And with this simple humble post, I leave the world of "Junior Member" behind, and join the ranks of full-fledged "Member." My rite of passage proved by an exploding penguin.

 

[Luke]

Ooooooh good question Gumby - i dunno, the Penguin could well be one of those exploding ones, maybe he's been booked for the new Muppet show and that explains where he got the $30 to join the club. Then again, we could be being decieved here - he might be a sneaky gangster penguin who stole the membership card in a raid of some poor muppet collectors house, or he could even be a secret agent from another toy company trying to divert attention away from the rare figures ....... all important things to consider !

Oh let's just eat the penguin and be done with it!!!

[Luke]

LOL - I would never cheapen myself - he's roadkill man !

 

[matleo]

I didn't say let's wait for the truck to hit him.....All I said was let's eat 'em and be done with it. So I guess the answer is. I would rescue the penguin and preheat the oven to 450 degress. it would be terrible ot let a juicy pengiun like that go to waste. Forget the figures. You can't eat figures, but penguin....hmmmmmm. Excuse me I'm going to go make lunch now.



Hey Ken
Did you read my idea for the Zoot repaint. What do you think?
