About Me

Power moves...heres the educational vid we showed for Pleasant Hill Middle Schools career day

Check the footage below!


So much time and so little to do. Wait a minute, Strike that. Reverse it. I'll tell you a little about Myself, Currently Metro is responsible for producing nearly three thirds of the world's skadoozles. For those unfamiliar with a skadoozle it's a wooden plank with four wheels attached. What're they good for you ask...what purpose do they serve? I'm sorry, but all questions must be submitted in writing. After Charlie took over the factory, I was left with an excess of free time to design my many contraptions. Remember invention, my dear friends is 93% perspiration, 6% electricity, 4% evaporation, and 2% butterscotch ripple...in this case however it was a little less ripple and a little more flippable. Some of my old factory workers never quite took to Charlie and decided to remain in my employ. This, I hear, was due to Charlie imposing a rigorous production schedule that favored heavy lifting over singing. When our skadoozle prototype finally found its way to completion none of us were sure it would work and then it hit me, oh...you should never, never doubt, what nobody is sure about. And, as you know my friends, the rest is history. In Wonkavision...for the first time ever.....The suspense is terrible...I hope it'll last...It's METRO, everybody's non pollutionary, anti institutionary, pro confectionery, factory of fun. If you have any problems, dial information, thank you for calling.
