Spring
Loaded: A Message from the Editor top
of page | cover page
Welcome
once again to another issue of Pezhead Monthly.
As Spring
sets in, I have been very fortunate to continue to come
across new Pez finds. This past month I found Zoe Pez, to
round out the Sesame Street Pez set, as well as the African-American
variations of the Fireman and Construction Worker from the
Emergency Hero set. While I saw a few more Giant Pez on
the store shelves (such as Marge Simpson and Miss Piggy),
I refrained from purchasing these because I need to start
putting money aside for the wonder and spectacle that is
bound to be Pezamania
14 in July.
This
month, Pezhead Monthly celebrates the glorious return
of Petey O'Jay, as once again a little misunderstanding
causes great distress to our noble hero. Also in this issue,
the Pez Pajama Pants sits down for the Five Questions. Rounding
it all out is the Pez Almost-Quote and of course some Pez
Poetry for your souls.
Speaking
of Pez Poetry, this is a final and important reminder that
the deadline for submitting to the 2004 Pez Poetry Slam
is rapidly approaching- Sunday, April 25 to be exact.
Click here
for details. Don't miss this chance to have some of your
own work featured in the May 2004 issue of Pezhead Monthly.
Submit today!
Take
care, and see you next month.

Pezhead
Monthly: Pez
Pajama Pants, thank you for joining us this month.
I have to say that this is the first time I have ever
interviewed a pair of pajamas. Clearly, this marks
a milestone not only for Pezhead Monthly, but
also for mankind itself. What are your thoughts on
this historic moment?
Pez
Pajama Pants: Well, I'd like to say
I share your enthusiasm, but to be honest I don't
see what the big deal is. After all, I am just a humble
pair of men's sleep pants, trying my best to make
it in a world where men's sleep pants are not afforded
the respect they deserve.
PM:
I
beg to differ, Pez Pajama Pants, but I think that
you are given a lot of respect. What makes you feel
otherwise?

PPP:
I may be overreacting, I suppose. But I don't think so. I
mean, yes, I may assist in making a fashion statement, and
I may also provide a means to warmth and comfort in this cold
world, but how am I treated? I'm thrown on the floor first
thing in the morning, left to socialize with the likes of
gym socks and bath towels for the rest of the day. Well pardon
me if that doesn't sound just a little bit ungrateful.
PM:
I do see where you are coming from. But I'd like to remind
you that you are no ordinary pair of pajama pants; you are
in fact one of the newest members of the Pez family of products.
Doesn't this make a difference in your day-to-day attitude?
PPP:
Look...
I know I've been venting here, but I must admit that being
a Pez makes all the difference in the world. Knowing that
Pezheads intentionally go to Wal-Mart or eBay to look for
me, and wanting me for their collection or just to hang
out with them as they watch late-night television, that
really gives a fellow a purpose in this world.
PM:
I am glad to hear that, Pez Pajama Pants. It is true that
the wonder and joy of Pez outweighs any negatives. But how
do you see yourself fitting in with the Pez family as a
whole?
PPP:
In
all modesty, I think I was destined to be a Pez. Much like
the dispensers, I come in all sorts of sizes for all sorts
of people. Also, I can make a great team with any one of
the many Pez t-shirts out there (Editor's note: check
out eBay
to buy some Pez shirts, or check out Pez
Central for a nice photo collection). Lastly, the
presence of so many vintage dispensers in my design, such
as Astronaut Pez, Parrot Pez, and Baseball Mitt Pez, shows
that not only do I walk the Pez, I wear it too.
PM:
Thanks again for joining us, Pez Pajama Pants. I can see
that despite some of your initial hang-ups about being a
pair of pajama pants, you are nonetheless proud to be a
part of the Pez family. Do you have any regrets?
EBP:
I have just a few regrets. First of all,
I regret that I can't dispense fruity goodness to kids of
all ages, being pajama pants and not an actual Pez dispenser.
And second, I regret that I have not been featured in one
of those modeling shows. I think I would be a natural up
there on the runway, as I do my little turn on the catwalk.
But one thing I don't regret is being who I am. I am
Pez Pajama Pants, hear me roar!
