The
future looks bright for Mystical Crystal Ball Pez.

Pezhead
Monthly: It's an honor to have you
joining us, Mystical Crystal Ball Pez. You used to
be an exclusive on the Pez.com website, and these
days are mostly found at Pez conventions and eBay.
How does it feel to be a part of the Pez family?
Mystical
Crystal Ball Pez: I knew you were going
to ask me that! No, seriously, I knew it…. Because
I can see the future. The future! But I will
answer your question anyway. It feels pretty good
to be me. For one, I am one of only a select few dispensers
that get their own stand, and join other such as Earth
Pez and the crystal Star Wars and Sesame Street dispensers.
That's quite an honor, and a big help too, considering
I don't have any feet and would otherwise topple over.
PM:
Now that is interesting. You believe that you would
topple over without your stand, even though you could
predict the future, and perhaps take steps to avoid
such tragedy?

MCBP:
I've seen it millions of times in my dreams. Sometimes I wake
up in a cold sweat. That's one thing I am sure I can not avoid,
no matter how many times I see it coming.
PM:
I imagine that must be maddening, Mystical Crystal Ball
Pez. How else do your psychic powers come into play?
MCBP:
Well, it's not like I'm going around predicting the future
of anything and everything. It just kind of happens. For
instance, I always know when the Seinfeld Pez episode will
be on. Unfortunately, I can't reach the remote control,
and I don't have Tivo, so I'm pretty much up a creek on
that one. Speaking of TV, I'm also deadly when "Jeopardy!"
comes on. It's getting to the point where other Pez dispensers
don't want to watch it with me, because I'm always shouting
out the answers before the contestants do. Ken Jennings
has nothing on me, baby!
PM:
That's an amazing gift you have there. Is there ever a case
where your powers can be put to the wrong use?
MCBP:
Oh, certainly. For instance, I pretty much know what stores
in the local area have all the new Pez dispensers. In fact
I frequently have visions of grocery store workers stocking
the shelves full of bags and cards of new Pez. But do I tell
my collector about it? Heck no. I know how much he enjoys
the thrill of the hunt, and if he's really dying to know where
they are, he can interact with other Pezheads on the Web to
see if they can help him out. Having me just tell him where
to go would spoil all of his fun. And why would I want to
do that after all he has done for me?
PM:
That is truly big of you, Mystical Crystal Ball Pez. Finally,
what are your thoughts on the future of Pez?
MCBP:
Well, I believe that Pez will continue to be an amazing
thing that brings joy and wonder into all kinds of people's
lives. I also see Pez continuing to dispense fruity goodness
to kids of all ages. But to be fair, it doesn't really take
a crystal ball to predict that.

My
First Pez Collectors's News
I must
retell, if you would please excuse,
The tale of my first Pez Collector's News.
It was
late August, on a Tuesday night.
I shuffled home from work to check the mail.
And there, amid the bills and coupons bright,
I knew at last I finally prevailed.
I was
surprised and instantly enthused,
The day I got the Pez Collector's News.
I took
the stairs by two or maybe more,
I got inside and ripped the plastic seal.
I shuffled through my latest great Pez score
And rapidly succumbed to its appeal.
I read
it to the end, Page Thirty-Two,
The day I got the Pez Collector's News.
There
were so many features found inside:
Some letters and a recap of some shows,
A checklist and a slew of classifieds,
The very latest Pezhead news exposed.
A must
for any Pez collector true:
This sums up the Pez Collector's News
I thought
I'd long before achieved Pez Zen,
Conventions, eBay- lo, what else remained?
But now that I subscribe to PCN,
I know I've made it to a higher plane.
No longer
shall you starve, my dear Pez muse,
For now I have the Pez Collector's News.

My
First Issue Of Pez Collector's News: As I've stated
many times before, if you are looking for a good source
of information on upcoming and vintage Pez dispensers
and other Pez news, you can do no better than the
Pez
Collector's News newsletter, published in paper
bi-monthly. Last month, I finally got my act together
and paid for my first year's subscription. I look
forward to being a loyal PCN subscriber from here
on out.

Snake
Pez On A Plane! Although
the box office was not kind to the movie "Snakes
On A Plane" in August, no one can doubt that
it generated tremendous hype on the Internet. Not
to be outdone, Kaa from Jungle Book II decided to
jump on a plane of his own.

Three New Batmans: Here are the three new Batmans
I picked up in August: a 3.4 from eBay, and a 3.8 softhead
and a 3.9 with red stem from MNPezCon 11. This brings
my total number of Batmans to seventeen. |
