The
Crystal Crazy Crocodile Pez has got nothing to hide.
What about you, Slim?

Pezhead
Monthly: Crystal Crocodile Pez, thanks
for joining us. How are things these days?
Crystal
Crocodile Pez: Not bad, not bad. And
let me tell you, it's great to be here. My cousin,
Crazy
Octopus Pez, had a great time speaking with you
several months back. He did tell me that you put him
on the spot by calling into question his craziness,
but other than that he had nothing but glowing things
to say about you.
PM:
Well thanks very much. Crystal Crocodile Pez, you
are the first ever "crystal" Pez dispenser
interviewed by this publication. What's the most important
thing you can say about being a crystal dispenser?
CCP:
Well, I do need to
clarify one thing: I am not, in fact, made of crystal.
So if you see me, please don't pull off my head and
try to pawn it for rent money.
In addition to being immoral, it is also rather painful
from my perspective.

PM:
That's a good point. I also notice that you bear a strong
resemblance to the Crocodile Pez dispenser. Is that a coincidence?
CCP:
Funny you should ask. You know that old phrase, "when
they made you, they broke the mold"? Well, that's not
quite true for me, even though I am my own unique being.
You see, Pez realized that re-using the molds for their
normal dispensers would mean a whole new set of Pez dispensers
to collect. So my brother, Crocodile Pez, brought about
me, Crystal Crocodile Pez. In turn, I I brought about Colored
Crystal Crocodile Pez. And who knows where we'll go from
there. But not being a "first gen" pez dispenser
does have its advantages.
PM:
Very interesting. Can you elaborate on what some of those
advantages are?
CCP:
Well, I hate to call up another old phrase, but it is true
that absence makes the heart grow fonder. You see, I try to
be humble about things, but I am after all a specialty dispenser.
You won't find me in stores. Rather, you'll have to pick me
up on eBay or at Pez conventions, or if you're lucky the occasional
flea market or antique mall. And there is always Pez.com.
But because I am not found in stores, it increases my worth,
as well as my self-worth.
PM:
I see how that would be the case. Lastly, Crystal Crocodile
Pez, are there any pitfalls that come with being a crystal
Pez dispenser?
CCP:
Well, overall it's a great ride. I get to hang out with
my buddies and I also get to dispense fruity goodness to
kids of all ages. But sometimes it's a little embarrassing
knowing that people can see right through me. Don't get
me wrong, I think transparency is an excellent quality,
just not when it comes to my head. When people look at me
sometimes I feel like they can see and know everything about
me, even the flavor of candy that I am about to dispense.
A little mystery is a good thing. But then I relax and just
say to myself, "Self, what have you got to hide? Let
the world see your Pez!" Because that's really what
it's all about.

Haiku #49
March
comes in like a
Lion, goes out like a lamb.
Two great dispensers.
Hooray for Spring
The
snow is melting, grass appears.
Hooray, I say, for Spring is here!
Toss the shovel in the shed,
There are sunny days ahead.
The
day starts sooner, and I cheer.
Hooray, I say, for Spring is here!
Awaken from that cozy bed,
Go outside and walk instead.
The
air is mild, sky is clear.
Hooray, I say, for Spring is here!
Take those earmuffs off your head,
The biting cold you need not dread.
Easter
Pez? Oh my, oh dear.
Hooray, I say, for Spring is here!
Grab those stems of green and red,
Dispense some Pez, that's what I said!
