Alpo Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Like Lucky Charms, they were magically delicious. But unlike Lucky Charms, they would almost jump into your frying pan. They wanted to be your din-din. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 2 hours ago, Pat Riot said: No idea SHMOOS They reproduce asexually and are incredibly prolific, multiplying faster than rabbits. They require no sustenance other than air. Shmoos are delicious to eat, and are eager to be eaten. If a human looks at one hungrily, it will happily immolate itself—either by jumping into a frying pan, after which they taste like chicken, or on a grill, after which they taste like steak. When roasted they taste like pork, and when baked they taste like catfish. Raw, they taste like oysters on the half-shell. They also produce eggs (neatly packaged), milk (bottled, grade-A), and butter—no churning required. Their pelts make perfect bootleather or house timbers, depending on how thick one slices them. They have no bones, so there is no waste. Their eyes make the best suspender buttons, and their whiskers make perfect toothpicks. In short, they are simply the perfect ideal of a subsistence agricultural herd animal. Naturally gentle, they require minimal care and are ideal playmates for young children. The frolicking of shmoos is so entertaining (such as their staged "shmoosical comedies") that people no longer feel the need to watch television or go to the movies. Some of the tastier varieties of shmoo are more difficult to catch, however. Usually shmoo hunters, now a sport in some parts of the country, use a paper bag, flashlight, and stick to capture their shmoos. At night the light stuns them, then they may be whacked in the head with the stick and put in the bag for frying up later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Mammy and Pappy Yokum are obviously brother and sister. So how in the heck did they produce Little Abner? I suspect he was a foundling left on their doorstep. Tarzan and Wonder Woman, maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punxsutawneypete Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Back in 2006 I got to play General Bullmoose in a stage production of "Li'l Abner" in Hanover, PA. To show how things come around, my dad and I went to see the movie version together on Christmas Day in 1959 in Elyria, Ohio. Fast forward, on opening night of the stage production in Hanover, Pop was in the audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
