Ooggley Baloobley

Welcome to the land of Ooggley Baloobley - a small planet some distance away from the one where Yoda used to live - but with longer daylight hours and less green slime.

It's a strange place for sure with an atmosphere of jelly and custard. The climate is mild, though when this picture was taken they had just suffered a blueberry soda pop storm causing flooding in the Boogleploops. The creatures that live here adapted well to their surroundings and built an ingenious network of pipes, stripes and wriggle holes to protect them from the smothering effects of a custard atmosphere. Crystal windows reflect the rainbow jelly colours so decorating is not necessary which is probably just as well since they have yet to invent the paint brush. They have very large tongues which poke out of their homes to lick up jelly lunches. They have no teeth to rot so excessive sugar consumption is not a problem.

The only activity that keeps them away from their favourite hobbies of yodelling and seeing who can make the loudest squelching noise is the 'trifling' matter of sponge production which, when mixed with the atmosphere, a spot of cream from the blooper cows and some star sprinkles provides the planet with its security and protection. Be sure, that anyone trying to invade will receive their just desserts!
