Katrina writes from Levittown, Pennsylvania: "Sorry this isn't an energy Question. I have been searching everywhere for a Pink Panther Doll, stuffed animal or any kind of Pink Panther toy. My three year old Granddaughter, also named Katrina, LOVES the great pink. I have called every toy store in the area! Since he is your spokes-person, I thought you might be able to tell me where I might be able to find 'any' Pink Panther merchandise. Please say that you can help!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Answer: I can't give you a list of retailers selling Pink Panther merchandise because MGM licenses my image to manufacturers who don't sell products directly to consumers. You already checked your local stores and came up empty so that suggestion won't help, either. Another idea is using a search engine like www.google.com to look for merchandise online. When I have done that in the past I saw lots of cool things. Finally, check out the MGM online store at www.MGMstore.com.

Thanks for your interest in me and good luck in your search.

Here are some photos from my personal appearance today. The light bulb mentioned in my earlier post is shown in one of the images. Enjoy!

I made a personal appearance at Owens Corning World Headquarters in Toledo, Ohio today as the company held an Energy Efficiency Day for employees. My job was to help greet everyone as they came to work. We handed out information about qualifying for the income tax rebate now available through the US Energy Policy Act of 2005 and everyone got a free Energy Star light bulb to use at home. According to the package, the compact fluorescent bulbs will last six times longer than an incandescent bulb providing an equivalent amount of light, and the energy efficient bulbs will use 75 percent less energy. You say that sounds too good to be true? Check it out on the Federal Trade Commission Website under Facts for Consumers: Energy Efficient Light Bulbs, or the Energy Star Website in the Lighting Products section.

How nice of you to ask about me! Your questions are a nice change from questions about insulation. My creator is Isadore "Friz" Freleng and I starred in 124 cartoons. Here is a link to more information about my creator on Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia. Thanks again for asking. Pink Panther

Effective today I am the CEO at Owens Corning, the big insulation maker and sponsor of this blog. No, I won't be running the company; Dave Brown is still the Chief Executive Officer but he named me Chief Energy Officer. The new title does have a much nicer ring to it than "TV commercial actor" or "spokescat." This is the news I mentioned in an earlier post that I couldn't share then.
