"That picture of the red painted person is gross."

The "red painted" person is me. And it's not paint. It's a pigmentation condition of my skin which I have no control over.

Whenever I roll in dry raspberry JELL-O or strawberry KOOL-AID powder my skin turns bright red. I was taunted for many years at school about this until I decided to take my so called "handicap" and celebrate it in the guise of Watermelon Man.

As Watermelon Man I have spread joy and happiness and an understanding that whether your skin turns red from rolling in cherry JELL-O or your tongue is blue from a Louie-Bloo Raspberry Otter Pop you are a valuable person in the world.

OK, so the melon slice thong did eventually cause my third wife to leave me for the Hub Kap King. (Sorry Exoticat...Or should I say Hub Kap Kweenie? I know we agreed to never mention our past here at Tiki Central but pert near everyone knows now.) But as Watermelon Man I have taught hundreds of people (including guests of last year's Monkey Skull Voodoo Lounge International Tiki Day party) the message of acceptance. Taught them with a healthy dose of watermelon flavored laughter, of course.

But if a TCer thinks Watermelon Man "is gross" then I don't think Watermelon Man can make the Monkey Skull Voodoo Lounge International Tiki Day 2005 party.

Woofmutt will be at the Monkey Skull Voodoo Lounge International Tiki Day 2005 party, hang dog expression and tail between his legs. Hopefully no one will think he "is gross".

PS: "Sweat Pea, I like your Tiki Central name. It sounds nice."

It does sound nice, except when it's "Sweet Pea, get away from the liquor cabinet!" "Sweet Pea, what're my credit cards doin' in your purse?" or "Sweet Pea, put yer dress down, this is church!"

PPS: One of the options for "woofmutt" in the spell checker is "vomit"! I'll keep the two seperate at the Monkey Skull Voodoo Lounge International Tiki Day 2005 party.

Want too much information? JELL-O stained dogs AND dog vomit! WARNING: Contains the phrase "big chunky stuff".
