Monthly: Chef Skinner Pez, thanks very
much for joining us. You are one of the newest Pez
dispenser set, the Ratatouille set released in honor
of the upcoming Disney
movie of the same name. How does it feel to be
part of the illustrious Pez family?
Chef
Skinner Pez: Ha ha ha! You should be
asking Pez how it feels to have my illustrious
image adorning one of its little dispensers! A true
honor and privilege indeed!
PM:
Well I suppose I should point out here that in the
movie Ratatouille, your character is a bit of a meanie.
But really, you can lighten up now. You're on a Pez
dispenser, baby- you've made it! Surely you can let
your hair down a little bit?
CSP:
I
would let my hair down, but I fear that beneath this
large hat, there isn't much hair there. My tiny sideburns
and pencil-thin mustache may be the only hair I have.
But, I do see your point. Life's too short to be mean
to people, and let's face it, at 5 inches, I'm too
short to really be an effective meanie anyway. Ah
Pez, the great equalizer and nicetizer.

PM:
I hear that, Chef Skinner Pez, I hear that. You mention
your large hat, which actually adds over an inch to your
height. Is the hat a blessing or a curse?
CSP:
Overall it is clearly a blessing. I mean sure, some of my
Pez brothers and sisters look down on me because they consider
me a cheater who wears this hat in an effort to become the
tallest Pez dispenser out there. Funny, I don't see them
getting on Marge Simpson's case for that giant blue hair
of hers. Sorry… that was mean. Old habits die hard.
Where was I? Oh yes, the hat. It's a wonderful thing, if
only for the fact that the top of it allows for maximum
grippage of one's thumb, making it that much easier for
me to dispense fruity goodness to kids of all ages.
PM:
Well I can certainly see that being a huge plus for you.
Now, be honest, do you really hate rats as much as your
movie counterpart does?
CSP:
Not really. I must say, it's a constantly improving relationship.
When I first set my eyes on Remy Pez and Emile Pez from
the Ratatouille set, I said to myself, Sacre Bleu!
Filthy mice, standing next to me on a Pez shelf!? I cannot
have it! I demand cleanliness and order! But after hanging
out with them, they aren't so bad. They have excellent taste
in cheese, and as a Frenchman I can truly appreciate that.
And I've also had the chance to meet many other neat mouse
Pez dispensers, such as Mickey, Jerry, and Merlin. I can
dig it.
PM:
That is good to hear. Finally, Chef Skinner Pez, I know
that you're the new kid on the block, but you're actually
the second chef Pez dispenser to be interviewed by this
publication, the first being Chef
Garfield. Has he challenged you to a cook-off yet?
CSP:
Not yet, but I'm always ready for a challenge. I'm constantly
trying to be a better chef, and I watch the Food Network
all the time. On the one hand I hear Chef Garfield makes
a mean lasagna, but on the other hand I also hear that he
eats it up just as quickly as he cooks it. I don't know
how it would go if he and I were to face off, but as long
as we are both able to serve up Pez, I think everyone wins.

Haiku #77
So many
sequels
In the movie theater,
But there's just one Pez.
Summer Break
School
is out; it's time for fun,
Underneath the summer sun.
Maybe jump into the pool,
Making you content and cool.
Escape to ballgames or the beach,
Relaxation's in your reach.
But
in your noble quest to chill,
Remember something, if you will:
Each month in summer, my fair chum,
Another Pez convention comes:
Keep your inner Pezhead young.

Father's
Day is here,
And I have just one question:
Who's your Pez daddy?
