LOL !  heh heh

I can almost see how this would play out:

"Hello fellow Vanagonites.  This is my van, Pinkie.
I had him painted a nice shade of pink because its a very soothing color,
and Pinkie likes soft colors.
He is a very nice van and is always very pleasant.
Pinkie and I like to go places together.
Once, he was challenged to a hill climb by a starkly painted bright yellow
van.  The yellow belched black smoke.
Pinkie said his name was Teddy.  That must have been right because he had
an emblem with his name on it: TDI.
The yellow van hurt his feelings.
The yellow van had a bigger exhaust pipe than Pinkie did, and it made him
feel insecure.
I tried to comfort him.  Pinkie, I said, don't let that get you down.  It's
only the tip that's big . . ."
