[Rabrrrrrr]

1. Um

There is no Bea Arthur Pez dispenser....


:cry:

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. But what's the meta-answer?

How do you KNOW there is no Bea Arthur Pez dispenser?

[JVS]

3. Because if there were, you'd have one and would have shown us

[Rabrrrrrr]

6. No

[Robb]

4. Becuz you a big ol' liar lying-pants?

:shrug:


:D

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. Oooh, that was wonderfully nasty of you. But, no.

I mean, I might be a big ol' lair lying-pants, but that's not the reason that we can know that there is no Bea Arthur Pez dispenser.

[Az]

5. Because I have a complete collection of Pez dispensers!!!

I feel like a burden has been lifted!

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. Wow! Cool!!

I'm glad I help you lift the burden.

Except, I don't believe you.

No one has a complete set of Pez dispensers.

[Az]

10. I can dream

Dang.... now I want some pez......

[wildhorses]

9. Wilfred Brimley is dead n/t

[Rabrrrrrr]

11. Actually, he's alive, and since it's an icon, it wouldn't matter

if he was alive or dead anyway.

[Rabrrrrrr]

12. No one has gotten the answer yet

Anyone care to take a try?

[Omphaloskepsis]

13. Only nerds code in PERL..

Sexy nerds use PYTHON. I don't know..

[BigMcLargehuge]

14. Bea Arthur was never captured in Pez format

she was instead relegated to the "soap on a rope" and "Maude's Mu-mu" line of designer pup tents (taken off the market in 1976 as they were both flamable and sarcastic) product tie ins.

[Kenneth ken]

15. I'm up

so I'll play.

My guess is that Pez doesn't ever use real people for their dispenser heads.

I'm not sure if I ever owned a Pez dispenser, but I have sen them, so know what one is, and as best I recall, I've never seen one that was of a real person.

:hi:

[Rabrrrrrr]

16. You are VERY close!

So far, you are the closest anyone has gotten!

[Kenneth ken]

17. HA - then I'm a gee

as in gee, Pez makes dispensers with real people? Who'd a thunk it.

name one - I've no idea how I would google something like that
Pez + real people seems doubtful

[Rabrrrrrr]

18. You'll have to search on your own

I can't give you the answer.

But you are soooooo close to the right answer to the question in this thread.

[Az]

21. Pez would have made a Maude Dispenser not a Bea Arthur one

:P

[Rabrrrrrr]

26. You going in a closer direction

[Kenneth ken]

22. I started searching, since I was waiting for you to answer

and found this:



:rofl:

but since I don't know much about Pope's, I don't know if this is a real Pope face, or a generic Pope face.

[nickgutierrez]

23. Well, we do know that Bea Arthur has never been Pope.

So, that could be a step in the right direction. Maybe.

[Rabrrrrrr]

27. It's also not a real Pez dispenser

:-)

[Kenneth ken]

29. you oughtn't be

tearing that one down; it's the closest to a real person one I've found so far.

Az is the only reason I'm not convinced PEZ doesn't ever use real people.

:)

[Rabrrrrrr]

30. The answer involves "people"

So you are close, but not yet correct.

it's not about 'real' people.

[Az]

33. They don't do actors, only characters?

:shrug:


You made me read a PEZ faq!!!! :grr:

[Rabrrrrrr]

34. No, not about actors or characters

[Az]

35. Ohhhh!!!!!

Living people!!! They don't do living people.......

[Rabrrrrrr]

37. WOO HOO!! Az got it!!

Yes, they don't do living people!!

And even in terms of real people, they've only done three as part of a 1976 series: Betsy Ross, Daniel Boone, and Paul Revere (and that Pez dispenser is often called "Captain", so some people don't even know that it's actually Paul Revere).

Pez doesn't do living people because they don't want to risk their image being tarnished if the living person does something bad.

[Az]

40. Woohoo!!! I'm a geek!!!

:woohoo:

[Kenneth ken]

44. not just any geek

a TRUE Geek!

:applause:

of course, I knew that as soon as I saw the list of PEZ heads you posted. :D

[Kenneth ken]

41. oops

I just tarnished their image then.

see # 39

[Kenneth ken]

39. that could be

Ross and Boone are dead.

PEZ is into necrophelia - they don't do living people :rofl:

[Rabrrrrrr]

42. Right answer, but y'all be too late

Still, pretty damn good of ya!

But a true geek would have known it without all the guesses...

[Kenneth ken]

36. I'll be irked

if that's what he says as the answer.

Semantics in that case. And so I will count myself correct on my first guess - Bea Arthur is a real person - Maude, and any other character she portrayed is not (are not?)

Though why I want to win this and be a true geek I've no idea.

:P

[Az]

38. I'm stressing right now that I nailed it above

I mean..... did I just reveal my inner geek? ... oh wait... I have a anime character as an avatar.... I think I outed myself a long time ago.

[Kenneth ken]

25. well

I guess I will have to count Betsy Ross and Daniel Boone as real people.

But where is Pope Pez in your list? :P

impressive list, though I think incomplete. I saw a Princess Leia with the cinnamon buns on her head PEZ when I was searching.

edit:

[Az]

28. Those are called fantasy Pez

Like fantasy lego they are crafted by Pezheads. They are not official Pez dispensers.

[Kenneth ken]

32. damn

glad I didn't buy one.

Pirated and forged PEZ dispensers. Again, I have to say, who'd a thunk it.

Princess Cinnamon Buns-on-her-head must feel so violated.

[nickgutierrez]

19. Was there ever a Bea Arthur Pez dispenser?

:shrug:

EDIT - maybe I should read the thread first. :o

At any rate, I'm sure I'll kick myself when I see the answer.

[Rabrrrrrr]

20. You need to read the whole thread first

[Fox Mulder]

31. Is this what you're looking for?

Your first post in the thread which you link to is:

Ultimately, yes But I let Robb do pretty much what he wants to.

Are you asking how we know if what you said is false?

:shrug: :shrug: :shrug:

Maybe I'm thinking too much. Maybe I should go to bed. :shrug:

[Rabrrrrrr]

43. No. Sadly, you aren't even close.

But thanks for being you!
