An
Interview with Charlton Heston
Interview
done by Dogman (Dogman is the POTM in-house reporter. He is
half-dog, half-man, and most definitely the master of his neighborhood)
Steely
Dan quote of the week: "Five names that I can hardly stand to hear;
Including yours and mine and one more chimp who isn't here"
* * *

Dogman:
Mr. Heston, Thank you for joining us.
Heston: It is my pleasure, friend, anything to help and spread the
“truth.”
D: And what would the “truth” be?
Are you here to talk about God, or perhaps speak out against gun
control?
H: No, no…much more than that. I’m
here you warn you about your food.
D: Kibbles and Bits?
H: Maybe not your food, I mean people food.
D: Wheaties?
H: No, not wheaties…Soylent Green.
D: Uh, what the hell
is…”So-land Sheen?” Is it
related to Charlie? Or Martin?
I really like that show, the West Wing…
H: (cutting Dogman off)
No, Soylent Green, you haven’t heard of it?
It is the new food that everyone loves; it’s all the rage.
The distributors have to use riot control and bulldozers to contain the
crowds in waiting for it.
D: It sounds Chinese – what type of food is it?
H: (under his breath) I’m sure some of it is.
D: What was that?
H: Nothing.
D: So what about this “Toilet Green”
H: Soylent, thank you very much.
(Heston stands up and strikes a dramatic pose).
Soylent Green is People! Soylent
Green is People! It’s made from
people!
D: (Dogman grabs Heston’s shoulders, shaking him) Get a hold on
yourself man!
H: (Heston shrugs Dogman off) Get your stinking paws off me you Damn
Dirty Ape!!!
D: I’m uh, not an ape…I’m a dog.
H: Sorry, I can get
carried away. Don’t touch me
again though or I will have to whip your Canine ass to 1000 BC – make you
deal with the Pharaoh!
D: Okeeeee-uh…anything else?
H: To those of you detaining people in order to turn them into food:
I order you to let my people go!!
D: Yes folks, you heard it here first.
Tom Green is good people – so hang with him if you get a chance.
H: Soylent Green Damnit!! And
Tom Green is NOT good people! He’s
Canadian!
D: Yeah, ok.
Anything you want to add as a final note?
H: Join the NRA and protect your god given right of gun ownership.
Protect yourself and your family!
Don’t become anther senseless nutritional fact.
D: Thank you…I think.
(Heston gets in his chariot and rides off)
