Pa Grape

I'm a very old grape from Brooklyn (or West Virginia, I can remember). I live in a big house with all my veggie friends. I run a little corner store in the veggie town "in the house". If I'm not running my store, I can be found working on a little show...

[pagrape]

Have you heard the news? VeggieTales is coming back this year!

“Yes, I have! It’s really exciting for everyone. I can’t wait for everyone to see the new show!”

[pagrape]

Hey, Pa? What was your favorite role on the show or..whats the weirdest customer you ever had in your store?

“Ooo...very differing questions. Hmm... lets see...”

“My favorite role is a tie between Mordecai from Esther and Seymour Schwenk from The Star of Christmas and An Eater Carol. Both favorites for very different reasons. I like Mordecai because the story of Esther has connections to my roots back when I was growing up in Brooklyn before I move to West Virginia. And I like Seymour because, like him, I love to invent and dapper in makin’ stuff. I’m currently trying to develop a pneumatic deli meat slicer. It’s going great, despite the count of a few casualties along the way. But all in the name of progress!”

What did you think of your appearances in "VeggieTales in the City"?

“Well...it was a decent paycheck.”

[pagrape]

Favorite memory with Jimmy and Jerry?

“Heh. My favorite memories with the Gourd brothers is the times they stopped eating everything and just sat and talked one-on-one with me. I really got to know them personally and see different sides of them. For instance, did you know they’re both classically trained Shakespearean actors? And that Jerry is a die-hard Trekkie? I would never have known myself had I not sat down and gotten to know them.”

Happy New Year!

“Happy New Year from 3 months into 2019!! 🎉”

“Sorry I haven’t seen this until now, anon. But thanks for the good tidings and positive mumbo-jumbo. I’m always happy to be wished a happy new year. It means I’m still alive! Heh-heh-heh!”

Bad News: VeggieTales is Cancelled

According to Christian Nutrition’s YouTube channel, he found a source of Mike Nawrocki stating that no new VeggieTales projects and/or productions are currently being worked on.

Here’s the link to Christian Nutrition’s video: https://youtu.be/0y0vJUdwgEw

I’m sorry I made a post thinking VeggieTales was coming back. I was too hopeful about the little information I was finding. I apologize if I got anyone’s hopes up. Today is a sad day for Veggie fans.

VeggieTales 2018

He y’all! How’s everyone been?

I know I haven’t been very active here since, well….

…forever.

But I just wanted to put some stuff out there about VeggieTales and it’s future as a franchise and as a series.

I’ve noticed two big things that have come up recently in the Veggie World, and I wanted to bring them to attention as best I can to the community.

1) VeggieTales is rebranding itself again.

For the past couple of weeks on all of the official VeggieTales social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram), the original designs have been used in their posts. Not once have they mentioned or used any reference to and/or from the Netflix series in their posts. I find it very odd this choice was made as they clearly established their social media presence with the new character designs for the past 3 or 4 years. But it seems they are, in fact, rebranding and focusing on the old VeggieTales. Examples include many throwback posts and trivia to older shows and episodes if the original series. And did I forget to mention the old designs are back…? I did? Okay, nevermind them.

2) Someone emailed Big Idea’s customer service and got some interesting news…

A YouTuber by the name of “DudeTomato” uploaded a video about a potential release this holiday season from Big Idea, and at this point in Veggie History, that’s a pretty big deal. It’s a legitimately interesting video. You can check it out here: https://youtu.be/Z8kAzFEp4jo

3) Phil Vischer has been busy writing!

Trusty old VeggieTales creator Phil Vischer. I listen to Phil Visvher’s podcast quite regularly, and most recently there’s been a big change for Phil and his friends Christian Taylor and Skye Jathani. They’ve had to reformat the podcast to fit Phil new schedule, which, in this case, involves a lot more (you guessed it) writing! He’s said he’s working on a couple of books and a POTENTIAL NEW TV SERIES. Now, he didn’t say it was specifically or even implie its a VeggieTales, but I still think this news is noteworthy to the subject. I can’t help but try and connect the dots back to. The veggies. Heh…go figure.

So those things have been circling around my mind lately. I wanted to get them off my chest and hear from the small but mighty community of VeggieTales fans here on Tumblr.

So do what you guys think about what’s going on. Do you think it means anything? Are we really getting a new episode? Are the old veggies coming back? Is Phil Vischer writing for VeggieTales again? Am I just asking pointless questions?! Is the canoe wood or aluminum?!?!

…

…Heh. I got a little carried away there. Anyway…

Please reblog and spread the word. Feel free to add your opinion to my post! I’d love to hear from you all. I’d love to bring out the community again.

Well, that’s all from me I guess. Thanks for reading! I’m honored if you got this far down the post. I don’t I would have made it myself. ;)

Oh and one more thing. I’m gonna make a hashtag you can use if you continue this post.

It’s #veggies2018.

Nothing fancy (despite the chosen font) but it should get the job done if needed.

I hope to see and hear more from you soon!

I made a VeggieTales music video to the song “Wake Me Up” by Avicii. It’s cute and you’ll like it. Check it out. ;)

have y’all ever had communion bread that was just so….nasty? like i know we have to suffer as christians, but do we really need to have whole wheat bread as the body of christ?

[hymnsofheresy]

my old church used hawaiian bread. my standards are high

[missweber]

Some old housemates of mine were Syrian Orthodox. At their church different members of the church took turns baking the bread that would be consecrated for the Eucharist. This was all well and good until one woman baked raisin bread. This led to the memorable occasion of a rather flustered priest, who had not seen the bread until that moment, declaring, “This - except for the raisins - is the Body of Christ.”

Is it true you’re running a school for alien dolphins?

What's your favorite memory with Larry?

Hmm...my favorite memory with Larry...Hmm...That's really hard to say. I've had so many great memories with Larry, and many are still yet to come. But I suppose my fondest memories with Larry are when we get together outside of work to hang out with Mr. Lunt. We go out for a couple of drinks (root beer to be exact) and just shoot the breeze. Sometimes we do other things like watch some of our old movies or play video games. One time we all went out and played laser tag! Larry won all the rounds, but I think he cheated a couple times. I know it doesn't sound like much, but I enjoy those memories because it reminds me of how wonderful my friends are. I'm thankful that I'm friends with the people I work with, because not a lot of people can say that. It's rare anyone gets really close to any of their coworkers. But to know that Larry, Mr. Lunt, Bob, and all my other friends genuinely care about me and like being around me, even outside of work, is something I find completely wonderful. I like to remember those times, they always pick me up out of the dumps.

Ronaldo, Sour Cream, Jamie

Ronaldo: Favourite conspiracy theory?

Mr. Lunt is the one who steals my snack cakes from my office/dressing room just for spite even though he doesn't want to eat them.




Sour Cream: Invent a new food-related nickname for yourself.

I'm technically a food nickname to begin with. Heh.





Jamie: The most romantic thing someone’s done for you?

I think it was when my wife Carol said yes to marrying me.

((So apparently VeggieTales rp blogs are starting to be a thing again and I'm all for it. I've been patiently waiting and @the-rapscallious-trio seem to be starting the new revolution. I want to join in on the bandwagon and remind everyone this blog is still active, along with my other blogs @bigideastoptomato @thegrumpiestveggieinthehouse. Feel free to send questions, rp starters, or whatever! Of course, please keep the content PG / PG-13. I hope to hear more from the community!))
