Hurray! hurrah! woohoo! yippee! yahoo! whee! dude!
The (not so)long-awaited Kool-Aid page is up!
Now, there's a ton of pages out there about Kool-Aid, and they all have the same basic stuff in it : why kool-aid's so great, tons of pics of the packages, all the different flavors.. etc. But me, I did somethin different. You know, there's only one person in the world i know of who likes Kool-Aid more than..well, anyone? Yes that's right. It's Phil! Could there be anyone better, or more fun, to talk to about the greatness of Kool-Aid? I think not. So I decided to interview him. Yup i really did. Tons of thanks go out to Brad for letting me borrow his mini-tape recorder thing. And now, prepare yourself to face: "Phil's Thoughts on Kool-Aid" !!!
***Warning - I wasn't kidding when i said to prepare yourself. You're about to witness some of the actual things that Phil says.. exact, word-for-word. Oh yeah, I interviewed him during one of our MUSE meetings, where there was alot of other people around, so don't be surprised when you get to the litttle "incident" at the end. I put the entire interview on here, just to show you all how crazy everyone is.***
And so it began..
Lydia: "Hi Phil. How are you today?"
Phil: "I am good."
Lydia: "That's very good. So you like Kool-Aid, huh?"
Phil: "Yes."
Lydia: "Yeah, and your favorite flavor is Lemon-Lime?"
Phil: "Yes."
Lydia: "Do you have any other favorite flavors?"
Phil: "I like that..that..that like fruit punch stuff. It's the best. It's good."
Lydia: "Fruit punch. Yeah that's pretty good stuff isn't it. What flavors dont you like?"
Phil: "What are you talking about? Every single flavor is good in quality and quality goodness."
Lydia: "Even Grape?"
Phil: "Especially.. well not especially cuz Lemon-Lime is better but Grape is really good."
Lydia: "Well I've had two people tell me that they don't like Grape."
Phil: "Are they like on drugs or something cuz I don't understand that at all."
Lydia: "They probably are."
Phil: "That just makes no sense. Even Glen likes Grape. Don'tcha Glen. Glen.." (Glen being his violin)
Lydia: "Anyways. So, what do you think about the big Kool-Aid Man?"
Phil: "He is like the coolest dude in the world, besides Glen but, but, he is awesome and I was going to name Glen after him but like Glen didn't wanna be called a big man."
Lydia: "Ah I see. Phil, what is it about Kool-Aid that makes you love it so much?"
Phil: "It's got sugar in it!"
Lydia: "Sugar. You like sugar. How much sugar do you put in your Kool-Aid anyways?"
Phil: "I dunno alot."
Lydia: "Alot. Like a couple cups?"
Phil: "No usually I just stick to the directions cuz obviously since the people who make Kool-Aid are so smart and they wrote those directions, the directions must be right."
Lydia: "So you just stick to the good ol old fashioned way."
Phil: "Yes. Cuz that's the right way to make it. The right way."
Lydia: "Gotta be right. Lesse.. what is your first Kool-Aid experience?"
Phil: "It was like when I was little, and I was at a party and they had a big ol thing of that fruit punch Kool-Aid and I had it and it was 'ooh that stuff is good.'"
Lydia: "Was that your favorite flavor of Kool-Aid back then?"
Phil: "I didn't know cuz that was the only flavor of Kool-Aid I ever had, so I had to try the other flavors."
Lydia: "So when did Lemon-Lime become your favorite flavor?"
Phil: "When I tasted it. And it was good."
Lydia: "That's pretty cool Phil."
Phil: "It was a happy day when I tasted Lemon-Lime. Stop it Glen!"
Lydia: "Don't hit Glen!" Aww poor Glen.. If you could make up any flavor of Kool-Aid you wanted, what flavor would it be?"
Phil: (long pause) "Coffee." (laughing)
Lydia: "Coffee flavored Kool-Aid? Are you sure about that?"
Phil: "No. Not coffee."
Lydia: "Not coffee. Well what flavor? If you could mix flavors, anything you wanted, like Lemon-Lime and Fruit Punch..."
Phil: "Wait! That's a hard question. Like um.. like um.. hmm how about.. coffee."
Lydia: "Same ol coffee again."
Phil: "I wouldnt make coffee Kool-Aid."
Lydia: "You wouldn't. Then what would you make?"
Phil: "Like.. um..I kind of.. hmm. I like pizza. Pizza flavored Kool-Aid."
Lydia: "Pizza flavored Kool-Aid. That would put you on the market. I bet everybody would buy that."
Phil: "Pizza flavored Kool-Aid."
Lydia: "Pizza flavored Kool-Aid made by Phil."
Phil: "No made by the Kool-Aid people."
Lydia: "Inspired by Phil."
Phil: "Yes inspired."
Lydia: "Inspired. What's your favorite color of Kool-Aid?"
Phil: "Um.. I.. blue is my favorite color. They got really good blues.."
Lydia: "Yeah Christina had her blue Kool-Aid today."
Phil: "No.. the other blue color.."
Lydia: "Like the dark blues?"
Phil: "Yeah. That stuff."
Lydia: "What flavor would that be? I don't know that many."
Phil: "It's like.. Blue Raspberry stuff it's.. no no. They have this thing called Blue Moon Berry. I just had it. It's really good."
Lydia: "That must be a new flavor."
Phil: "Yeah."
Lydia: "And you're bringing out Glen. Are you gonna play for us?"
Phil: "Glen wrote a Kool-Aid song."
Lydia: "Will Glen play it?"
Phil: "Yes it goes: (long note, another note) Kool-Aid!"
Lydia: (my clapping) "That was wonderful! you have very very.."
(Ken jumps in and says something about his song sucking)
Phil: "Shut up!"
Stephanie: "Encore! Encore!"
Andrew: "Ahh.. I guess.." (mumbles some stuff)
(Ken and Phil are.. wrestling during most of this)
Lydia: "Come on now I'm trying to interview Phil here."
Andrew: "For no apparent reason."
Lydia: "And I still..I have the tape recorder going you know. Wait put it down.. Phil.."
Ken: "Go Gatorade!"
(Phil gets away and talks directly into the recorder.)
Phil: "Gatorade is bad and evil and that man is psychotic and he's probably doing crack. Crack."
(Ken and Phil are "wrestling" again)
Lydia: "Ok.. Ok let's get back.. I have one more question please let me ask it."
Andrew: "I'll answer for him."
(Some very strange.. blowing noises? Ken has Phil in a headlock at this point.)
Lydia: "Just let him.. Come on.."
(Phil got away by elbowing Ken in the stomach)
Lydia: "Thank you ok Phil.. did poor Ken beat you up?"
(Ken still being annoying and saying stuff I can't make out)
Lydia: "Ken go away we're busy."
(more weird noises)
Ken: "Go Gatorade!"
Andrew: "If it makes you feel any better, Gatorade's alright."
Ken: "No hard feelings?"
Lydia: "Go away.. Go away come on. Don't make me turn off the tape recorder. I got this all on tape.. all your violence."
Ken: "Go Gatorade!"
(Everyone quiets down a bit.)
Lydia: "Phil.. one last question....Let's just get this over with. If you could be any flavor of Kool-Aid, what flavor would you be?"
Ken: "Horse!"
Andrew: "Coffee!"
Phil: "I would.."
Ken: "Elephant dung!"
Lydia: "Go away!"
Ken: "No!"
Phil: "I would.. I don't know.. Like like probably one of the old flavors. Like Bedrock Berry or something."
Lydia: "That's a great flavor. So.. well thanks Phil. I guess that's going to wrap it up for now."
Phil: "Bye bye videocassette!"
Lydia: "Actually that's a tape recorder. Micro..something or other."
Phil: "Videocassette."
Lydia: "Alright.."
Phil: "Bye bye!"
Lydia: "Bye bye."
