I'll have to change it to that guy when I'm not using my iPad. I don't think I can change him now.

I have sympathy for Mr Mean.
The behaviour modification practised on him was horribly authoritarian.
He doesn't have a hippo or a hat so even though I identify with him I don't want to be him.

There's nothing wrong with coal as a gift, very practical actually.

Crypitc as always, but out of curiosity does the coal you're talking about have to do with teeth? I would be inclined to think not, but who knows, I had to ask. ???

I'm guessing Mr Mean gave coal to someone as a birthday gift???

My dad once gave my mum a vacuum cleaner as a B'day gift, needless to say mum transformed into Mrs Grouchy. Hmmph!

:D Usually I would say that it's the intention that counts, but maybe in the case of your dad, he should be a Wise-Would-Mean-Keeping-Your-Mouth-Shut

LOL

As for coal, I don't know. To light a fire, perhaps? ???

QuoteMr Mean
Mr Men Book
Number 19

Where does he live?
We don't know what country but in an old broken house!


Mr Mean is mean to anybody and everyone. His house is broken, dirty and has never been painted. Mr Mean simply grumbles on about the price of nails, but all of his furniture is made from old orange boxes. His house doesnt have any fires, carpets, pictures or curtains, just boring old wood. You would think that Mr Mean is poor, but in fact he has lots of money but never spends any of it or gives it to anyone. He even gave his brother a piece of coal for Christmas so that he didn't have to spend any money. One day, an old wizard came and taught him his lesson, by turning all his money into pototoes and whenever he was mean turned different parts of him into different vegetables! However, Mr Mean was a changed man, and he became so kind that the following year he gave his brother a nicer, better present...two pieces of coal!

Mr Mean Facts:
• Every evening he would count his money that he kept in a box, which is the only thing he liked doing.
• Mr Mean's nose was turned into a carrot and his ears into tomotoes!
• He also spent all his money making his house look spick and span, instead of the mess it used to be!

So you have a guy keeping to himself, not hurting anyone and a horrible wizard comes along, takes his money away and mutilates poor Mr Mean's face.  Pretty twisted morality I think.

Excellent instructions. Or the same thing, for us visual people:

Yes. They are advanced social experiments taking place at the behest of the Asmo to discover the true nature of forum members prior to full assimilation.










Actually I was bored and wanted a bit of a laugh
