Jolly Green Goober

May 1, 2005 by Mary & Kimberly

Green_pepper_70s

Here I come to save the day.
The Big Green Pepper’s on his way.
Over the hills and through the snow,
To bring you fashion I must go.
My slalom skills are second rate
And I tend to over-coordinate.
But I promise to always do my best
To live up to my kick ass green ski vest

P.S.  I’m pretty sure that’s Luke Wilson.

    I was totally thinking Matthew McConahaugh.

    Genevieve, my thoughts exactly. Looks just like his character from Dazed & Confused!

    Does that say “zip-apart”?? As in “here I come to strip at your bachelorette party” zip apart?

    I thought most of these were really funny, but my husband who is usually in to weird humor, i.e. Monty Python, kept saying, “that’s terrible” as I “forced” him to look at the pictures and listen to me read them. LOL

    I think this must be humor only a woman could understand because I thought it was hillarious!

    Looks like Gene Wilder to me.

    Ok, so it’s “Green Pepper Inc.” Does that mean there’s a whole line of these things?

    Wild, man. Wild.

    Hey! It’s Sportacus in the 70’s! Before he switched to powder-blue clothes, before he made it big on Nickelodeon, he wore this green nightmare and hung around ski slopes hoping to save hideously deformed puppet children.

    There wasn’t much call for his services so he retired, bitter and alone, to become an angry recluse for the next 25 years. He wrote a lot of letters and drank too much.

    After finally realizing that looking like a giant animated pepper wasn’t such a hot idea, he decided to reorganize his life. One anger management program and one color change later, he’s strutting his stuff in Lazy Town and raking in the bucks selling everything from Lazy Town socks to Lazy Town cod-liver oil. There’s a lesson here somewhere, and I just wish I knew what that lesson was.

    Although Earl was always always hoping to be the object of the ski bunny’s attention, he was hoping that nobody saw him when he had the misfortune of his running his right ski into a steaming loaf of sasquatch excrement. But the jig was up when titters and loud guffaws resulted from him also being seen wiping the yeti doogie off his ski and onto his other leg. At that moment, he longed to be Sonny Bono.

    I thought it was Weird Al.

    Green Papper, believe it or not, is still in business.

    ‘Gurss I shouldn’t be suprised, given the remarkable effectiveness of their mid-70s advertsing. ‘Way ahead of the extreme sports fad, guys. I salute you.

    Just found the site. Love it.

    Looks like he had an unsightly accident going down the ski slope…maybe he should have worn yellow…

    You have to admit though, it is a nice green.

    I have two observations.
    1.) Those pants are stretched a bit too tight across the batchular area.

    2.) He appears to be stepping out of the design frame and into my living room, which is a very creepy thought.

    Why is Matthew McConahaugh’s character from Dazed and Confused doing Yoga in the snow……too many drugs in the 70’s or trying to find ‘enlightenment’.
    I like that even his sunnies match.

    OMG,
