Chief of the Corn

Foo was at least glad to see that the Indian chief that was defeated was actually honored in some way after being massacred. Although why he was can Cornstalk is beyond Foo. Maybe he liked to make things with them.

Pleasant Battle

Although Foo wasn't sure how a battle could be pleasant, apparently in 1774, 1,000 riflemen defeated some Indian tribes... yeah... not so pleasant.
Still, they decided to put up a monument as if it were a good thing. It was really tall...
but the metal etchings really left Foo's stomach a bit unsettled. Such is life.

Foo vs France

Foo learned that this area had to battle alongside the French to defeat the British, and Foo was down with that, but he still thinks he'd back the good old Foo S of A.

Defend the Castle!

As Foo settled into his new castle home, he was ready to enjoy life as King of the Fus, but suddenly he heard shooting and saw soldiers rushing the castle. He was under attack!
Retreating with Foo-like agility, he jumped up into the castle window and got inside to safety all the while commanding his troops to defend, defend, defend...
The intruders were relentless and aimed cannons at his fortress. Luckily, Foo is a crafty one and he stuffed rocks and other objects into the cannons so they backfired and took out the interlopers!
When the firing had ceased, Foo looked out of the front gate to make sure the coast was clear. He didn't want to get ambushed after all.

It was, indeed, clear. Foo had won the battle to defend his castle and remain the true Foo ruler! He went out to praise his people for their valiant defense, but really he just likes riding the drawbridge.

Sounds Good

When it was almost Foo's turn, he ventured closer to the studio because he wanted to see how it all worked inside. He just loved watching the sound guy do his thing.
But when Foo got too close to the sound boards, he learned just how protective the sound guy was of his equipment, and they had a mighty (but silent) brawl for control.
In the end, Foo and the sound guy came to an agreement and all was well and smiley, especially since they realized all they had in common, especially the hair.

Fortress de Foo

As Foo continued to go through the sculpture park, he found a variety of fortress-like sculptures that he wanted to try out so he could wage war on the crazy people! This one was nice and high, but it didn't afford him much cover from this angle.
In this one Foo could hide really well, but his vision was severely limited. In the end, he couldn't find one that was just perfect, so he decided he had to look elsewhere and just keep moving on down the road.

Brothers in Arms

Everybody thought Foo was silly when he claimed he fought along Bowie and Crockett to defend the Alamo...


...but when he jumped up onto the commemoration monument to take his place among his Alamo-defending brothers, it was discovered that Foo AND Jonathan were actually there!

Battle Cheesesteak!

When in Philly, Foo just had to have a taste of the famous and authentic philly cheesesteaks (complete with Cheez Whiz and onions).





So, where do you find the best? The debate rages on, but it's definitely between Geno's and Pat's, which actually face each other across a six-way intersection.


To make a personal ruling on the favorite cheesesteak, Foo presided over the great cheesesteak battle: one from Geno's, one from Pat's.


The resulting winner? Pat's by a loaf of bread!!

The Adventures of Don Qui-Foo-te

"Get back, Giants!" yelled Foo as he charged valiantly at the fierce beast in the distance in Elk Horn, IA. Little did he know, he was soon to find out that the evil enchanter, Freston, had turned his giant foe into a mere Danish windmill. He still maintains he won the battle.
