Meet the Folks!

While walking today, it occurred to me, that I've not properly introduced Talkinhead Hypespewer, Dishy Dullfacts, or Mr. and Mrs. Harold and Delores O. Conehead. Please allow me to make amends.


Talkinhead Hypespewer, born and raised in south Detriot, took a mid-train to Anywhere, Colorado where he started working in a local advertizing company writing ad materials, primarily for Circuses and Carnivals. Later, after much success, he moved to Philadelphia and is now the anchor of the Fox Network's Local Edition of the Evening (its not even remotely the) News. Like many on the Fox Network, he is slowly transforming into a cartoon character. Mr. Hypespewer claims to be 31 years old, but has a resume that lists jobs spanning 45 years.


Mrs. Dishy Dullfacts was born in a house that stood next to the one Dorothy and Toto lived in somewhere in Dusty, Kansas. Dishy's family soon moved to Anaheim, California where she worked at Disney Land for a number of years. She soon learned all the words to "It's a Small World After All". Spotted on a parade float participating in the Tournament of Roses Parade by a talent scout, she became a roving news reporter for the Los Angeles local news team.

Tired of what the daily smog was doing to her complexion, she moved to Philadelphia and joined the Fox Network's local newsteam. The picture below shows her as she appeared when she was named Miss Anaheim Cabbage Fair (her talent was singing "I'm Henry the Eighth"). Dishy proudly wears the crown she won to this day and even while broadcasting her news spots.

Horrible stuff, that smog.


Mr. and Mrs. Harold and Delores O. Conehead are both natives of Cleveland, Ohio.

Harold (on the left) was unpacked from a shipping crate and sold by Flash Industries, Inc. after being born at Western Industries in Winfield, Kansas in 1983. Harold found work at the ripe age of two weeks old as a Traffic Control cone for a local highway repair crew. Later he worked as a Hazard Warning cone that specialized in marking potholes and open storm sewer grates.

Delores nee Gross (on the right) was unpacked from a skid and had 143 sisters (there were, of course, 144 "gross" sisters). Delores, and her sisters were all given up for adoption, so her birth records are currently sealed and no one knows where or when she was born. Delores worked diligently as a "No Parking" cone for many years at a large Cleveland bank.

Harold first met Delores on the side of the road in downtown Cleveland in 1984. It was a case of love at first sight and the two have been inseparable since then. Now both retired, but in good physical condition and sort of sharp mentally, they are currently touring of historic sites in the Greater Philadelphia area, where they desperately want to return home to Cleveland but they keep missing the train.
