Muley Newz Update!!
Well, I've already posted a link to the picture gallery which shows comix and photos of the puppet and suit of Muley (more to come as soon as they upgrade my account):

But, since these events, other things have happened. We already all know that Muley had TV and Radio engagements in July surrounding the Big Scoop Ice Cream Festival, which didn't happen because of the July 22 storm, more info found here:
RadioNate and Fozzie Bear...
Well, Big Scoop finally happened on September 6 and Muley had suddenly become a bigger help than expected. The "Official SpokesMule" of the Ronald McDonald House of Memphis carried the first 30 minutes (in puppet form first) since the radio dj's who were supposed to show up didn't, then the MuleySuit meandered around the place from 11-4 pm (longer, actually, because Muley likes to goof off with folks who work there before the event to make them feel good and then after the event with the stragglers who stick around when it's over).
There were some guys there from a local Star Wars Fan Club dressed as Jedi, and had the limited edition life-sized Yoda. They were in the characters area where they take pictures with the kids and families for $2 donations. Well, Muley got to put on the cloak of one of them and, where they ahd their $100+ collector lightsabers (WAY COOL!!), they brought the toy sabers from WalMart, and Muley grabbed up the Darth Maul lightsaber and announced that he was "Darth Mule--beware the force of my wrath," and then he bent over as if to cut the cheese on them, then covering his eyes he began swinging the saber at the two Jedi dudes screaming, "Don't hurt me! Don't hurt me!!" Crowds gathered and were cracking up.
After it was all over with, I went home and slept for 6 hours, got up, and fell asleep again.
We got some pictures, but they belong to the RMH, so hopefully I can get some copies made to put online!
Kev and Muley
