That is not the Pennywhistle I know of.Ive never even heard of that guy.
 
I looked online and there are others as well. I guess clowns don't have the same name conventions we enjoy.
 
being a king fan, when it came to possessed items or other worldly or what ever he never showed what was behind it, shining, Christine, the mangler, his bachman books, the stand, when it came to any kind of position or the such it real form of the force never shown or described.

this does not include Salem lot and crazy folk books.
 
Growing up there was only one Pennywhistle.He wasn't a clown but he was Captain Kangaroo's alter ego.
 
Yeah he has one. Battle front or something. We both didnt like it much. He was telling me that some 15 yr old won 3 million in a fortnite tournament not to long ago. Could you imagine

E-Sports is big money in todays world... the amount of money being pumped into it is scary and prize pools have gone from tens-of-thousands about 15 years ago, to hundreds of thousands to 10 million+ In some cases in todays arenas...

The downside is their careers don’t last long, most seem to bail out around late 20’s to mid 30’s, due to not being able to keep up with reaction times, not to mention the discipline it requires...

I know the Korean e-sports teams for example, live, eat sleep and game under one roof, so when they arent sleeping or eating they are fine tuning their skills on the game they play, which can equal 12+ hours a day playing the same game over and over again...

Thats why while it seems like quite a cushy or easy job to a lot of outsiders, the reality is you are living in a gaming bootcamp 24/7 playing one game over and over even after you’re completely sick of said game...

People used to ask me about AutoCAD, VersaCAD AmadaCAD, and similar programs, and I'd always tell them the secret to AutoCAD is the same as the secret to Duke Nukem: It's about how well you know the software and how fast you can hit the mark.

Eventually I became too old to want to do either. ;)

I do not remember Mr. Pennywhistle at all. I was born about 6 mos before Capt. Kangaroo began, and my children watched it in the 80's. I recall all the puppets, dancing bear, Bunny rabbit, Mr. Moose, Tom Terrific & Mighty Manfred, Grandfather Clock, Fred on channel 1, the old & new treasure house, Crabby Appleton, & Mr Greenjeans who played 6 different guys.Carrots and pingpong balls, and the Capt as the perpetual foil.

I remember checking out the AutoCAD bible around 20 years ago and thinking damn thats a lot to learn and ended up learning to use Photoshop instead lol...
