The Life and Times of Poops Flannigan

Creating an alter ego is hard these days. With so many TV shows and movies about comic book heroes out there, finding a good superhero that hasn't already been created is a challenge. I believe, however, that there is a character yet to be created -- one with such a riveting story, it will capture the imaginations of all Americans, or at least those who read this blog. I debut for you the first chapter in the life of Poops Flannigan.

Poops was born in the Irish quarters of New York City in 1961 to a bar-owner father named Tommy and a bread-maker mother named Deloris. His first act as a member of the human race was releasing an impressive Cosby, hence the name Poops. He was teased as a child for never being able to control his bowels in public.

Rock bottom for Poops was an embarrassing trip to the community pool, where after a glorious swan dive off the platform diving board, Poops turned the pool into his own personal toilet. Everyone at the pool began making fun of Poops, pointing and laughing until, finally he mustered up the courage to get out of the pool and walk shamefully back to his row house. It was that very day when Poops became determined to turn his unfortunate condition into something positive.

But there was someone else, someone evil, who saw Poops that day. This villainous man finally saw an opportunity to use Poops to carry out his plan of global destruction...

More on Poops Flannigan in Chapter two, The Hotel Years.

I love it. Please make sure our commercial jingle makes the book. That was Sprouse/Gregory creativity at it's best! :)

If Poops is asked to give a stool sample, does he karate chop?
