Mr. Happy Show

Thank you Duke. Thank you Charlie. I am going to have to try that recipe out one day. It sounds really good. As we wait for a next guest to come out, I will like to speak my mind real quick. It is on a serious issue. Zima. Yes, I said Zima. We are almost in to 2004 and the death toll for alcohol poisoning is rising. Zima is a very potent beverage. Kids today see nothing wrong with it. The flashy bottle, the zany lettering, it's a calling to them. The bottles almost yells "Buy Me!" when the kids are in the liqour aisle. Now myself, I enjoy a gallon of vodka and a pitcher of the ol' Captian Morgan every hour or so, but that is just something I enjoy. I have bottled water, a few colas, my vodka and a pack of zima in my fridge. But I never grab the zima when I have to work the next day, I am smart. I would never dare drink that when I have work the next day.
Zima is a killer. A warning label should be stamped all over that drink. A single sip from that and I am on the floor. Is that what I want? A recent poll was done in the college's of the midwest. Out of 450 students asked, we found out that 65% of them have tried Zima, 20% have never tried Zima and the other 15% were too intoxicated from the Zima to even talk to us. Zima needs to be canned. It is stronger than any other drink out on the market. What makes those kids want to buy it? Advertising. Fruit Loops has a tocan with wild and wacky colors, drawing in kids, camel has a camel and Zima has Captain Zima. Curse that company for introducing him in to the world. He is flashy and the kids love him. A saw one commerical the other day while I was babysitting my three year old nephew. In their 30 second spot, we saw kids lounging around, all bored out their minds, listening to wait appeared to be Enya. Suddenly a knock comes to the door and there is Captain Zima. He is dressed in tights, a black and blue cape on with the letter Z in silver. He hands the kids, who are all under 16 the zima and then the music changes to an upbeat song and the all start partying. When the spot is over, "20 seconds later" is seen on the bottom of the screen. We then see all the kids, plus Captain Zima passed out, with Zima scattered all across the floor. A voice over is heard. He yells "Drink Zima!".
No wonder kids like Zima. Maybe it is the Captain, or maybe it is the bitter and awful taste of the drink, but maybe, it is that in the commerical the Captain knocks on the door. Most ads have thier mascot barge in. He is polite, and the kids like it.
In closing, I reccomand that all parents, grandparents and teachers, to take the bottle of zima away. No questions, don't say anything to them. Just dump in down the drain. Zima is a killer. Is has so much more alcohol than all the other drinks combined. I regrete the day I tired it. Zima might be flashy with all those bells and whistles, but it is too strong for anyone to drink. Stick to rum, vodka, or better yet, just try Momma's Medicine. Thank you and please, stay away from Zima. No one should drink it, no matter how high your tolerance is for alcohol. I have seen grown man die from this. Thank you and boycott Captain Zima.

While we wait for Charlie to wobble over here, I am going to read you a passage from "Greatest Invention in 1984".

"...As the world entered in to the year 1984, it was clear that the world will be facing a dilema. It needed something to keep it going. Work had came to a halt, and chicken farms were becoming over populated. Anderson Carlton, a inventor from the state of Alabama was aware of this. He was needed something to keep his farm up, to take care of the cooking, the driving. He wasn't the only one. Everyone needed it. Anderson recieved a grant from the president and was ready to work. He set up shop in Alabama. It was small, but overtime, it grew. The assembly line was worked on day and night, producing what was said to be, the greaest invention in 1984.
...The factory was in high demand. It was as the news grew that everyone wanted one. They needed them. They were needed for more than just giggles, but to try out new things. People bought them up and tested them on ropes, which was a good thing. They only lasted for a while, till it was no more. As the months past, and the factory couldn't keep up, demands were made and other factory were springing up around the states. Detroit, New York, South Carolina...factories were producing day and night. The clothing industry grew as cotton, which was once not a popular item, tended to grow and be use widely among everyone in the states....

I do you hope you enjoyed this passage from "Greatest Invention In 1984". I would add more, but then what will be the point of me selling the book. Later on, I will add more, but until then, you must wait.

Hello. I am Pit Weston. I am the co-creator of "The Mr. Happy Show". I have never worked in this sort of entertainment before. It was not so long ago, when my passion for this wonderful show fell in my lap. Before this, I was a writer, still am. I have many books under my belt. Maybe you have read a few. "It's Great to be me: Everything Else, is just Crap", "Greatest Invention in 1984", "Jelly Doughnuts: It's not just a pastry anymore", and my New York Best Seller, "Duke, Do you like me?: The A Naylor Story". I am happy to be a part of this show. Please keep up with our post. A bountiful of news will follow...

 
The Mr. Happy show was a grandiose albatross that never got off the ground. Since it has beacome collection of thoughts, ideas or just whatever happens to run though our twisted heads.
