Z.Z. Ziff

This is Dr. Kahn, your camp leader, with the Camp Anawanna camper profile of the day. Today’s camper can either be found sitting under a tree singing a song about our sweet Mother Earth or standing on first-base thinking about a poem, much to Telly’s chagrin. She is Z. Z. Ziff, our sweet but somewhat absent-minded hippie Earth child. However, don’t get the impression that she is dumb. She once cooked up a scheme to bribe her fellow campers with a trip to a waterslide park so they would help her clean up trash around camp. With her goofy side ponytail and planet Earth earrings, she could certainly be seen as cute, but don’t get any ideas fellows, she is married to the planet!

Hope your enjoying our dedication to Salute Your Shorts this week. Of course I’m sure you have been waiting for part 2 of I Am Sponge. An interview with Trevor Eyster. Trevor has recently opened himself up to the fans on his Sponge Harris Facebook page. You may have only known him as the Sponge, but I think you’re about to learn a lot more on who Trevor Eyster is.

Michael Ray Bower

Portrayed: Eddie “Donkeylips” Gelffin

Michael Ray Bower started his acting career on shows like The Wonder Years, Doogie Howser, M.D., Empty Nest, and Webster. Most of his roles typecast him as the “typical fat kid” role. However, he has proven that he is more than just that.  Already an established actor, Michael then portrayed “Donkeylips.” So Where is he now?

Sponge Harris

This is Dr. Kahn, your camp leader, with the Camp Anawanna camper profile of the day. Today’s camper is the camp genius—Sponge Harris. The rumor is that if you squeeze his head, random bits of information will leak out. Smart beyond his years, he has developed a rather astute assessment of camp, noting, “The food bites, bugs bite, activities bite, everything bites!” Of course, we can’t use this slogan in our marketing and recruiting efforts! Poor Sponge often has the best of intentions, such as starting a camp newspaper and trying to gain weight for the camp’s wrestling team, but is usually taken advantage of by Budnick and/or Pinsky. And who could forget the time the entire camp made him stay awake so he could win a radio trivia contest? Ah, Sponge, we salute you!

Recently Michael Ray Bower (Donkeylips) starred in this short film, Dinner with Raphael. Its about a guy who brings his girlfriend home to meet his family, including his brother who has … a condition.

Blake Soper

For 10 years Joe Struss has run the only Salute Your Shorts fan site. I thought it was only appropriate to include him in our Salute Your Shorts coverage. After all, he runs a great site full of information about the show. He is planning on wrapping up the new site later this year.
