Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for December 17, 2019

Who wouldn’t want to hear Mr. Zappa’s album in question form which you can’t be a potty mouth? (Does eBay even have those 50/60-year-old, flower-flavored PEZ?)

The frog is more likely mesmerized than hypnotized.

We used to hypnotize mamaw’schickens.

Pez dispensers are still around and dispensing all the latest children’s fads (Frozen, Star Wars etc). While never a fan I can recall them from my childhood. Definitely a great marketing exercise as I believe the company was founded in 1927.

i just want a Astro pez dispenser….

Well Frank’s album had H E double toothpicks in the title. No wonder why it got that sticker. Parents Beware!

What if I’d rather stroke Anne de Paula’s stomach?

We get Zank Frappa He probably didn’t sing it, but these strips remind me of the song Don’t Stop Believing.

Ah, Frank, we need you more than ever these days.

Gotta love Zappa . . .

I didn’t know about PEZ dispensers until sometime in college. Nobody I knew had one when I was a kid. I had to have someone explain to me what they were! Apparently they weren’t popular where I grew up.

Ok, we’re looking for volunteers to “hypnotize” a Komodo Dragon.

Very similar to the technique for hypnotizing me…

You can thank Tipper Gore during her 1980’s witch hunt against rock and roll music — that old cow! Zappa put that sticker on as a show of solidarity for other musicians that were being hunted. I remember those days very well. It just shows you that it’s not a matter of being on the left or right of a political party — it’s a matter of being an extremist.

OK, my frog s hypnotized. Now what?

A reversal of the Hypnotoad?

I know I had one Pez dispenser; but once I ate the candy, it was gone so the toy never showed me much. If I would’ve known they were collector’s items, I would’ve kept it; but I have no idea where it went since it’s been maybe 40 years since my mom gave it to me.

Same technique works on many ladies…

And why exactly would one hypnotize a frog??? You can’t plant suggestions in the frog’s mind or anything.

A truly great musician. Always hounded by Puritans.

OK. So now what do I do with my hypnotized frog? He doesn’t seem to understand English, sooooo. . .? Suggestions?

Loved Frank, great musician great sense of humor and advocate for human rights. RIP Mr. Zappa.

Tell it its actually a prince. And kiss it, may be.
