BANAL INTERVIEWS WITH CELEBRITY GHOSTS – THE GREAT PUMPKIN

October 27, 2013

Loon: I am especially pleased to welcome the ghost of The Great Pumpkin to the 3 question interview. Pumpkin, no, Pump, may I call you Pump?

Great Pumpkin’s ghost: Suit yourself, daddy-o.

Loon: So, Pump, why, for instance, do you always disappoint Linus when he waits for you in the patch?

Great Pumpkin’s ghost: Hey, not my fault if the dude always picks the wrong patch, is it? I mean, come on.

Loon: At any rate, can you give us a hint about where this year’s most sincere patch is located?

Great Pumpkin’s ghost: Dude, seriously. You know it don’t work that way. I gotta split. Later. (Splits, half disappearing through ceiling, half through floor)

Loon: Well, I tried. (shrugs)

Trafalgar Square on Venus looks exactly like this if when you say Trafalgar Square you mean the Lake Tahoe Basin and by Venus you mean a sunny Autumn day.

October 20, 2013

Loon: We have royalty among us for our 3 question interview today, a king of England. Your Solemn Royalness, how many powdered wigs did you own?

George III’s ghost: I spy a sparrow on your brow.

Loon: Huh? Oh, no, that’s just where I smeared my forehead with tar. So, did you guard your face with one of those cone things while they powdered your wig or hair or whatever?

George III’s ghost: Where are the ducks? I would chew on a duck!

Loon: King! Contain yourself! Can you tell us anything at all about wigs?

George III’s ghost: Wait. Who are you? You have come to steal my gander, haven’t you? (falls weeping to the floor. continues through floor to disappear)

Loon: Well, I guess we’ll have to postpone learning about wigs for a while. (shrugs)
