Still Alive....

In a recent trip to New York, I discovered that someone whom we all thought at Stain Club was dead is in fact alive and well: Plumpy. Yes, this picture is real as I found the last of the near-extinct Plumpa Trolls at the massive Toys ‘R Us in Times Square (The store, by the way, has its own Ferris Wheel within its own confines…the gondolas are shaped like many toys/cartoons—Rugrats and Legos to name a few—one would know and love from childhood that have yet to be destroyed by the higher corporate powers).


Anyways, Plumpy is living it up as a jester for King Kandy as well as taking a Larry Brown route by helping Kandy manage things in the game behind the scenes. He knows as a popular character of a classic children’s game that getting the ax was not going to be popular among Candyland enthusiasts such as ourselves. He is glad, though, that he didn’t follow the path of his ancestors in the manner of dancing for nickels just for a chance to get their paws on some blow.

Intrigued by this tidbit on his species/familial history, I urged to share more. Alas, ol’ Plumpy is a tad sensitive when it comes to the rest of the Plumpa Troll race and came at me like George Brett when his "pine-tar" home run was called back. After peeing myself from the barrage of plums that I was pummeled with, I scampered out of the store with my tail firmly between my piss-stained legs.

I speak for the rest of Stain Club when I say, “Thank God he’s still alive.”
