Discovery Cyclone

Foo discovered a lot of things here at Discovery Green, including this really neat architectural play fountain that people could play in and cool down. Foo wanted to join in, but there were leash laws in effect and so he couldn't be let go.

Ah My Love

Foo loves hanging out with his friend, Rebecca. She hugs him and makes sure he's having a good time.

And she even gives him some smoochies, too!

I Mustache You a Question

Foo had heard that guns don't kill people, people with mustaches kill people. So he found a mustache, but he was confused how that would actually kill someone.

But when Foo got himself a gun to go with his mustache, he suddenly began to channel Dastardly Dan and have visions of tying Miss Daisy to the railroad tracks...

Luckily a good friend intervened and yanked the mustache off and Foo was fine.

You're Doing It Wrong

Foo found this pretty flower in the women's restroom (um... yeah, he has an all-access pass), but it clearly did nothing for the smell. Gross ladies, gross...

Need a Ride?

Foo was just minding his own business in the car when this creepy purple scorpion happened along and started looking in the window. No worries though. Foo got to know him, and found out that Scorpion Scott was just looking for a ride to the store to pick up a nail clipper to trim his claws.

Til.... We Part?

Apparently this happy couple didn't let death get in the way of their marriage vows. Now that's commitment!

Git Along Little Doggie

When Foo met John Wayne and asked for advice, the famous actor had a lot to say. He told Foo, "A man ought to do what the thinks is right" because "life is tough, but it's tougher when you're stupid." Foo liked the advice, and when he left, Foo smiled as he heard Mr. Wayne say, "Git along little doggie."

Thug Life

Foo has seen crazy rappers and hip-hop dancers on TV with bling bling sparkly hats like this one so he thought he'd try one on for size. After looking in the mirror, Foo knew one thing was for certain: Hats like this do not make you look tough. Rather, he should probably be in a fabulous parade, taking pride in his gay friends.

Pretty in Pink

Foo looked everywhere for a hat to wear to the beach, and he finally lucked out and found this pretty pink number. Foo loved the hat and how it fit, plus it was a smashing color, but he had one question. Do you think it makes his butt look big?

Kentucky Foo-by

Foo has heard that when you go to the Kentucky Derby, you need a really pretty hat with lots and lots and lots of feathers. He found this one at a party store, and it was just his size. What do you think? Fabulous?

Fighting Llama Style

An angry llama is a scary llama, and Foo just didn’t have time for cleaning up the llama blood today. So when he came upon these two angry, yet colorful, ones facing off with a crowd of other llamas looking on, Foo knew he had to intervene.

Foo-by Dooby Doo!

At the party store, this ghosty guy tried to frighten Foo away, but Foo wasn't fooled. He immediately channeled his cousin Scooby Doo and discovered that it was just a clever disguise for none other than Mr. Withers, the store manager!

Ghoul Love Foo

Although this ghoulish guy was probably meant to be scary in some way, Foo had a hunch that he was really just a jolly old fellow. The ghoul liked Foo so much, he even tried to follow Foo home.

Flattery Will Ghoul You Everywhere

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so they say, and this ghoulish clown certainly had the flatter machine on full throttle for Foo. It still didn't make it any less creepy, but Foo supposes he does have his smile down.

Mario Party

When Foo ran into the Mario Brothers at the party store, he tried to ask them where they were having it, but all Mario would do was jump up and keep hitting boxes on the shelves.

Luigi wasn't help either. Although he gladly posed for a photo, after that it was just boing, boing, boing, smash, smash, smash. Foo was going to tell them a shortcut to the princess, but oh well...

Merry-Go-Foo

All around the merry-go-round, the Foo Dog chased the horseys. But then he couldn’t help hopping up and going for a ride because they were just so darn colorful.

Slice of Life

Foo had the munchies going on, but he really wanted to try to eat healthier so he decided to cut into this cantaloupe. Little did he know, the bigger part of the cantaloupe would turn into a monster and try to eat him.... Foo thinks he'll stick to chips in the future.

Ladder Baby!

Taking a break from road tripping, Foo decided to do some maintenance around the house. But even with the ladder, he still couldn't reach the gutters to clean them out. Well, at least he tried...

Polly Wanna Piggyback?

Foo was just chillin' at home when all of a sudden this giant parrot jumped onto his back and wanted to go for a ride. At first Foo was shocked and tried to throw the parrot off, but then he realized it was all in good fun... so away they went!

Fallen Forefather

Foo made sure to pay his respects to the fallen Mr. Abraham Lincoln in the presidential display. Now there was a really great president who did a lot of great things for the country. It's too bad people in the world today are still horrible bigots. Sigh... Sorry Abe, Foo's trying!

I Heard a Shot

No matter what it looks like, it wasn't Foo. This gun was here when he got to the museum. Really. He wasn't even at the theater that day with John Wilkes Booth... yeah.

Foo For President!

Foo is really tired of all the crazy politicians in the world, so Foo has decided to run for president after President Obama's second term. He thinks he deserves another shot, but after that... look out world... it'll be FOOOOO RIFFIC!

There's No Funeral Like Snow Funeral

It's always sad when people die, but this person must have gone in the winter (but not in Houston) because this hearse was actually a sleigh (but not Santa's) made for the snow. How convenient.

You Remember the Pope?

He's the one that won't go in the woods. But apparently he would go in a wood coffin. This funeral is the one of Pope John Paul II, so Foo tried to be respectful. He was a good Polak after all! Foo only wondered how they got the Vatican all the way to Texas!

Tiny Frenchmen

Foo thought it was Napoleon who had the complex of being short, so he was curious to find that Louis XVIII was such a teeny tiny little fellow that he could fit in that little carriage drawn by itty bitty horses. He must have had that complex pretty bad!

Happy Meal of Death

Foo marveled at the bizarre things people will turn into coffins just because it seems like a good art project. These people thought that coffins should be eagles, cows, leopards and chickens...

...and also fish and crabs. Foo found these strange boxes at the National Museum of Funeral History, but for him they just seemed a little too much like happy meal boxes of death.

When Death Comes Knocking

En el Dia de Los Muertos en Mexico, one time a year, death can pay a visit to your house, so make sure all your chickens are in line and you give your praise to family members gone before. He's watching...

Foo-neral Business

Foo learned that hearses in Japan were very very elaborate and richly decorated for the passing of the dead.

And this is where the Foo Dog comes in handy. See Foo's cousin is on the right-hand door? He's there to make sure the evil spirits don't follow this person to the grave and beyond.

You're Kidding Me

At first Foo thought this was a hearse for a fairy tale princess, but actually it was for a little child. That's so sad. But at least the baby had a pretty send off and got pulled by horses, just like in the stories.

Simple Send Off

Foo loved that the National Museum of Funeral History even had a display about the pine boxes of the olden days before all the coffins were crazy elaborate. It's just a box, anyway, right?

You Can Take it With You

Apparently all the money you make can be taken with you when you go. Just check out this coffin covered in nearly $1 million inside and out. And Foo heard you can rent this thing out for funerals. Now there's an idea...

Decompose Here Often?

Foo thought it was funny and just a little (in)appropriate that this hearse was called a moss feaster... Apparently the car feeds on the dead bodies, just like moss grows and feeds on decomposing wood. Who knew?

Foo in Mourning

When Foo visited the National Museum of Funeral History, everyone was so sad, and many of them had no heads, which Foo thought was weird

While he was there, they let him try on some mourning hats even though he didn’t know anyone who had died. 

This was the one that Foo like the best even though the fancy lace kept getting stuck in his teeth... yuck.

Tipsy Table

When Foo saw a more modern embalming table, he marveled that it was made of glass. And look at all the piping. He was sure that was to catch the fluids from the bodies, but why would anyone want to drink that? Ewww...

Mummi-Foocation

It intrigued Foo to learn about the mummification process in ancient Egypt. Apparently the doctors had the heads of dogs, and Foo Dogs were used as the tables.

When he saw the real mummy in process, though,  he wasn't sure he'd like all those wraps on him. Strangely, right after this picture, the mummy sat up. Weird!

King Foo-tenkhamen

Foo just thought it was neat to see an Egyptian sarcophagus in the National Museum of Funeral History. Makes sense since it is a coffin of sorts, but when the workers tried to get Foo to jump into it, he just was ready to commit to that body position so he declined.

Short and Sweet

Foo wondered why the seven dwarves were hanging out at the National Museum of Funeral History, but when he saw how sad they were and looked to the left, he noticed Snow White's coffin. Foo gave his condolences and proceeded to the next exhibit.

Ding Dong

As coroner he must aver, he thoroughly examined her. And she's not only really dead, she really most sincerely dead. Foo and the coroner are talking about none other than the Wicked Witch of the East. One witch down... one to go...

Hiding From Death

Foo had heard that you cannot really hide from death, but he was managing it quite well in fact. This skeleton of death looked and looked and just couldn't find Foo so he decided to sit down and wait a spell until he showed up.

Pig in a Poke

Foo didn’t know exactly what this big pink pig had done to be put in prison, but Foo was sure it was bad based on the porker’s angry sneer when Foo’s inquiring mind wanted to know.

Protected By Foo Dog

This cousin of Foo’s really took his job seriously at a sculpture garden shop in rural Texas. Apparently crime happens here, and this Fu’s skills are legendary. Just look at the decapitated head of an intruder that he uses for a footrest!

Happy Boy

Foo wasn't sure exactly what this beast was, whether a bear, a lion, a bat? Maybe a combination of those? Whatever it was it was so happy to see Foo that it cheered loudly and proudly huzzah!
