Title: Pleasure Island and Owrstrich
Post by: car54 on February 26, 2008, 02:22:07 PM
I believe that I finally understand the relationship between Owrstrich, aliens and donkeys. It is all in Pinocchio. Owrstrich is an alien that sends people to Pleasure Island where the turn it to donkeys.

Wikipedia

The segment from Pleasure Island is, like much of Pinocchio, a tale of morality. The boys who are taken to the island go voluntarily with the promise of fun and unlimited freedom. While on the island, the children are encouraged to commit acts of vandalism, fight, drink alcohol, smoke cigars, and gamble - all things that good little boys are not supposed to do.

The transformation into a donkey is not instantaneous. When boys arrive on the island, they remain human for some time before showing any signs of the curse changing them. The first indication is braying replacing the boy's normal laughter, followed by the growth of donkey ears and a tail. The head, and extremities come next, after which the boy is then forced into a quadrupedal stance. The final notable change is losing the ability to speak. Before the donkeys leave Pleasure Island, they are checked to make sure they have lost their ability to vocalize, which signifies they are fully transformed.

Be carefully when your in his presence.

Barbi Benton, Gunella(sp?) Hutton, Lisa Todd :o...ahh, memories of my youth. Hated the show,(actually, it was the country music I hated) loved the women. If you watched tv at my (parents) house on Saturday night, you watched Hee Haw.
