Spring
Loaded: A Message from the Editor top
of page | cover page
And
another one bites the dust. With this issue, Pezhead Monthly
wraps up its second complete volume.
Two
years ago, I had a vision. That vision involved corn chips,
platform shoes, and the Batmobile, and sadly that vision
never came to be.
But
then I thought to myself, "Self, let's do a Pez newsletter."
And after 24 issues of dispenser interviews, Pez haiku,
and Pez parodies of all sorts, I have to say that I feel
pretty darn good about this little experiment. And I look
forward to continuing Pezhead Monthly for years to
come, for as long as there are hours in the day and days
in the week, there will be Pez in my shelf and on my mind.
Volume
2 goes out with a bang, you will find. Starting things off
is a genuine Pezhead Monthly contest, with a genuine
prize in the form of a genuine (and free) PezheadMonthly.com
t-shirt. Be the first to answer all ten questions correctly,
and win yourself some new apparel for the summer. (Ed.
note: Update- We now have a winner for the Pezhead Monthly
Challenge, so there is no need to send any more entries
in.) See below to take the Pezhead Monthly challenge
(which has nothing to do with the Pepsi Challenge, if you're
curious). Also in this issue is an interview with Chef Garfield
Pez, and of course some Pez Poetry and the Pez Almost-Quote
of the Month.
Thanks
to all of you for reading, contributing, and supporting
Pezhead Monthly for the past two years. I look forward
to many more issues and I hope you do too. I will pick up
next month with Volume 3, Issue 1, in which I will no doubt
feature a recap of my voyage to Cleveland for Pezamania
13.
Take
care, and see you next month.

Quote
1.
The Pez dispenser
isn't half empty, brother, it's half full.
2. Give in to your urge for Pez, it is useless
to resist. Join me and we will rule the world together,
as dispenser and collector.
3. Have you ever heard the term "Renaissance
Man"? Well, I am a "Renaissance Pez,"
baby.
4. It's almost like destiny slapping you on the
butt and yelling "Hee-haw!"
5. These kids nowadays, with their footed dispensers
and their high patent numbers, they're all over the
place.
6. But hey, it makes it that much more special
when someone who is looking merely for a set of lawn
darts or wiffleballs accidentally stumbles on the
glory and magic of Pez.
