I Do Not Wish to Have A Pink Shmoo.

[Big Horn]

I saw a copy of an old ad for clocks. Among the clocks offered was a shmoo clock to go on the wall. The ad said that they were suitable for children's rooms as well as kitchens and pantries. I searched on eBay and saved the search. A few days ago I received a message. There was a shmoo clock available.

It was in beautiful condition and working fine. It would have been great in my pantry which has filtered air. There was only one problem but a big one:the shmoo is PINK. However, there is no such thing as a pink shmoo. Shmoos are white; everyone knows this. I'm still looking. Shame on the clock company for making them in other colors.

I can't believe it! I actually had a Shmoo clock on my wall when I was very small. It was pink.

All the real shmoos I've ever seen have been white.

Schmoo?

A cartoon character created in 1948 by Al Capp (the Little Abner cartoonist). I just noticed that Capp spelled it "shmoo" but the current spelling seems to be "schmoo" (different schools of thought on it, I guess ).

I remember the Shmoo. They rather remind me of Dr. Seusses Sneetches. What do you think?

Thankyou. I was clueless. LOL

I agree; they look a lot alike.
