[Krystalfaye]

Beautiful! Love it!

Totally making this for the office Christmas party. BP is making the Cherpumple. Charles Phoenix rocks!! (in a Midwestern white guy type of way).

[dancingzira]

You are so funny and entertaining! <3

[peggytharpe]

Thank you Charles, for keeping us smiling. And really, zzalgernon, terrific production!!!!! I remember tin foil holiday creations, in fact, I may have made some as a child. I've forwarded this to a friend in ABQ NM who  brought weenie & hot dog creations to our potlucks. Again, thanks for making this; it brought my first smile, giggle, and chortle of the day!

I especially appreciated the homage to Karen Carpenter at the end. If only Karen had eaten an Astro-Weenie or two or three, she'd still be around today, singing the same xmas carols.

[marekerhardt]

I LOVE IT! I will have my resident chef make one! Great!

[HunterMann]

Very good Charles! The Food Channel ain't got nuttin' on you! I suspect there is also a dessert version of this tree too.  Thanks for your amazing slide show at the Egyptian Theatre in H'wood several years ago. Brilliant!!

Charles Pheonix is a one of a kind charecter!

[DanHarkless]

Sweet, glad to see there's more to the magical world of Charles Phoenix. Ah yes, if only it would stay 1962 forever.

[Lupitamihita]

OMG! This is fabulous. I plan to make this for my XMas party.

[heyKathie]

Bravo! This video made my 2006 Christmas and will probably sustain me right through Christmas 2007! It succeeds on many levels -- hilarious, touching, well-conceived. Thanks ZZalgernOn and Merry Christmas.

I made an Astro Veggie Christmas Tree using edamame (in the pod) in place of the weenies. It was quite a hit at a holiday party and made a lovely centerpiece on the buffet table. If you do a flickr search on "Astro Veggie" you can see some photos of my tree. :)

I had a dog named Astro, so this conjured up some unpleasant images. I hope it tastes better than it sounds!

[dellapina]

Love it! What's a pummeled carrot?

[CarolynJoy]

Awesome! Time consuming?

I love you!
