Pez Outlaw, Him, Me n Psycho Lucy


BLAST FROM THE PAST
11/30/95

Found an old price sheet with that date on it.
Psycho @ $20.00 each
I'd pay that much for one, how about you?

Psycho Lucy

Psycho Lucy is probably one of the most underrated Pez dispensers ever made in a very short run. approx 300 were made, current value is $100 to $150.00

Psycho Lucy, one of Pez Outlaw's children.
Psycho Lucy was the first in a long line of Pez Outlaw Pez dispensers. Thank god this one was not duplicated by Pez USA.

Psycho Lucy is one of my fondest memories.  Black Santa n Psycho Lucy were the 2 best things to come out of my Pez years.

Psycho Lucy Pez dispenser. White paint on face instead of black. I asked Marco if he could make a Lucy Pez dispenser with white eyes. Somehow in translation this came out a White face Lucy Pez dispenser. So he created normal Lucy Pez dispenser but all face detailing done with white paint. This Pez dispenser was thought of because of the Lucy with White eyes. Marco created about 300 of this Pez dispensers for me. 

I named her Psycho Lucy because my first reaction when he showed this Pez dispenser to me was. She looks Psycho.

Most of what I did as Pez Outlaw was equal parts luck n perseverance. 
The key though is that you have to show up or luck just passes you by.
What a wonderful accident she was.

*************************

I really LOVE this picture.
Hobo ALERT! We don't just wash your windshield anymore, we also pose for pics.

$1.00 per selfie please.



Would any of you confuse Walt Disney as being Mickey Mouse?
Well the same thing goes for Pez Outlaw and me.
I haven't been Pez Outlaw for a little over 20yrs now, I simply tell his story just like Walt told Mickey's story.
I say that especially as an escape hatch.

I'm asking you to understand that when I become flamboyant or brag a bit on Pez Outlaw, I am in no way talking about myself, I'm talking about him.
Kathy says that it's going to be hard for people to understand that or why I talk about Pez Outlaw in the 3rd person.
Which is why I'm writing this post.

Yes I write about Pez Outlaw in the 3rd person.
2 reasons.
1. I view Pez Outlaw as a character that embodies that part of my life.
2. If I can separate myself from him n I can (diagnosed schizophrenic in 1969) then I can as an outsider manage n promote him/Pez Outlaw.

To tell you the truth, Pez Outlaw n I are 2 very different people that bleed over into each other.
Me, I'm a recluse, not an extrovert characteristic in my body.
Pez Outlaw is larger than life itself n I really like him.
I can pour all the things I wouldn't n couldn't do into him.
Pez Outlaw is like a surrogate (Bruce Willis movie) I can step into to enter your world.

This though does create quite a few schisms between Pez Outlaw n myself.
Pez Outlaw believes all things I write about are possible n likely.
Me, not so much because I'm the skeptic.
Pez Outlaw thinks there will be a movie or that Pez Corp would of course make the Pez Outlaw collection.
On the other hand I myself believe both have a snowballs chance in hell.
Truth is that I let him run with those fantasies because it makes him happy n what harm is there in letting him believe.
Kinda like, Why would you tell a 5yr old that there's no Santa Claus.
It makes him happy.

I may not believe in a lot of things but I do believe in Pez Outlaw.


I've Officially Become My Mother Inlaw 



The above picture represents my transition from youthful immortality and the acceptance of age. 

For years before my Mother Inlaw passed she was busy getting ready by putting everything in order.  20 years ago I thought that her behavior was kinda nuts n something that I would never do. Lately though I find myself in conversations with Josh n Ri telling them various things about my wishes once I'm gone.

Which brings me to the original thought concerning this post. Prior to today I only signed Pez Dispensers as people bought them. Then I get to thinking what if I died, none of this stuff would be signed n wouldn't it be better if the kids had it all signed. Because you know at that point there would be no more Pez Outlaw signed Pez.

Today I became my Mother Inlaw when I started signing all the Pez that I currently posses.
My guess is that there will only ever be 20 Rooster MMM with the Pez Outlaw signature on them. I just don't see anybody that owns one putting another in front of me to be signed. 

Kathy is my reality check on well, my crazy.
Kathy said that she'd bet a lot of you are thinking that, "he sure has a high opinion of the value of a Pez Outlaw signature".
I accept that, but any crazy worth his salt can at a minimum back up his own crazy n here goes.

To my way of thinking (qualifiers stated) Pez Outlaw is the single most impactful thing outside of pez to impact the history of PEZ.
Think about it from 2 angles.
History of anything is impacted in one of 2 ways.
The event is so stark that it can't be ignored or the story is told n retold.
Do you think that you'd even know who Davey Crocket, Buffalo Bill Cody, Wyatt Earp or Billy the Kid even were if it hadn't been for Penny Dreadful pulp publications that perpetuate n in some cases created the Myths.

Pez Outlaw Diary and Notes From The Asylum are Pez Outlaw's Penny Dreadful's that extol his myth/story.
Twitter and facebook are the publications of The Pez Outlaw story, which by the way is why I bang on it daily.

In the end History will be the judge of this.


After Pez Outlaw, I intend to retire.
