VeePee's Head?

[teachmevp]

I remember one day geting a letter from the way, years after I got the boot, they were selling these little VeePee head statute things; I thought wow, a doctor head, but why?

Has any of you seen any of these VeePee heads?

[Ham]

I don't remember anything like that.. was it one of those little things mounted on a spring and adhesive base, to be applied to the dashboard of one's car?

[teachmevp]

Maybe that is the answer to GT's trivia question, those third lady's have boboheads? Maybe someone will remember those little VeePee heads?

[Bolshevik]

just the head? . . . a nutcracker?

[teachmevp]

I wonder if one puts that head in a tree, if one could catch a squirrel?

[TheHighWay]

Are you talking about the little bronze statue of the great mog himself? That's the only thing I can remember them selling to folks on the field...

[teachmevp]

Those little bronze statues of VeePee head, that is what I saw for sell that day?

[teachmevp]

I wonder, if the way can get away with a VeePee head, why not a lunch box?

IIRC,

first they made a big, ugly bronze statue of vpw for the auditorium.

THEN they made smaller versions for people to buy for their homes.

On the one hand, the obvious contradiction between twi pushing that

idolatry is wrong, images are wrong, blah blah blah, lcm running off at

the mouth about it- then they put these out. My sense of right and wrong

was offended pretty fast.

On the other hand, I couldn't get VERY angry because the things were so

freaking ugly, I thought being in the presence of one of those would be

its own punishment.

I'm pretty sure that was the only thing like that-unless you count the

photos of the bod for displaying at home.

For that matter, that was pretty creepy, too....

[teachmevp]

Wow, thanks for that info; that is the story of the VeePee heads, what a trip? That would be creepy, having the eye's of one of those VeePee heads, following you around in the room?

[chockfull]

I personally always enjoyed the individual wallet sized photographs of the bod. It's like saying "for those times when you just can't make it home to stare at your dashboard brass VPW or wall photo, and just need to stop in the middle of the work day and whip those babies out to gaze admirably and thank God you know them".

No creepy ego involved there. :blink:

[teachmevp]

Them lucky ducks, I got stuck with a "Sure I speak in tongues, doesn't everybody" card?

[outandabout]

"VP head" ha ha ha ha

I never could understand why we had to "Pray for the Board of Trustees." What were they doing anyway? And why would we want to put pictures of guys we didn't know on our walls?

[teachmevp]

Maybe we can sell those paint by number sets; for the great heads, of the broad of the trust, of VeePee's head; that would be worth hanging on the wall, cover up them dart holes?

[teachmevp]

What if they make a head of that leader lady Rosie chick of the way, that would be a whole lot of bronze, how would they suport the earlobs?

Maybe the church of Mad would sue the way, that leader lady Rosie chick of the way, does kinda look like she has a twin?

i was not around when the actual veepee head was distributed, but i do think an eye would be good -- ohgod i'm sorry for being so whatever

but after listening to them for years talking about statues and relics, etc., it does seem quite hypocritical

veepee, i think they should have made a statue of something smaller for you -- dear god forgive me -- lol

Well, they could have reduced their material costs if they had.

[teachmevp]

Building with that spirit material, cost big bucks; sell little heads to spirit people, get spirit bucks to buy spirit material, spirit people can't see all that spirit material, spirit bucks goes into pocket of the spirit bucks person?

[excathedra]

waysider i was talking about his eye ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

[What About It]

OMG...I think I might still have my vp bronze head thingy! Lord, I've got to get in the attic one day and see what way crap I have up there that needs to get the H out of my house--you know, the spirits and all. lol. How much do you think I can get for it on eBay?

[teachmevp]

That was a trip, getting that in the mail, how much did you pay for your VeePee head? I am sure you could get your money back, maybe Martindale lost his VeePee head?

[What About It]

My dad got it for me for my WC graduation. It cost $200 if I remember correctly.

[teachmevp]

At the time when I read that letter about VeePee's, i would have bought one, but that is why I didn't get one, 200 bucks I did not have to spare, thanks for sharing that with us, I bet you got some cool stuff in your attic?

[Broken Arrow]

I appreciated the bronze thingy because it was the first time I recall having such a good laugh after having left TWI. It was just so idiotic! He looked like Mr. Bill with a Bible.

You know some poor schmoe on staff or in the Corps came up with the idea and never got paid a dime for it but TWI sold it and put money in the coffers. That damned thing was so ugly.

[teachmevp]

That is so crazy, people having these VeePee head's in box's somewhere?

Wow, if that VeePee head was given as a gift, what does one do?
