POMPOUS ASS OR... WELL... POMPOUS ASS? The most wretched, condescending, rude soul ever to foul the landscape of humanity, Phineas T. Gumption is to the workplace what the Grinch is to Christmas. Irritated by the indignity of having to perform menial tasks for wretched pay, Gumption seethes in his own juices as he lays in wait for his next unsuspecting victim.

Not even the ever-amiable Lil' Pengy can save Gumption, although he is usually reduced to a jabbering madman in our hero's 'hello' wake. But despite many failed attempts at defeating his friendly foes, the specter of P.T. Gumption's revenge is always just a new job away.

Fun Fact: Working as a receptionist for the Rape N' Pillage Talent Agency Gumption made Marilyn Manson cry.

What others say about Gumption:

Lil' Pengy - "hello"

Terrance (The Badger) Kapunsky - "I love that skinny goofball. He makes me laugh. Nothing makes my day like threatening to sue ol' Gumption. Everyone has to have an archenemy, you know. Superman had Lex Luther and Spiderman had the Green Goblin and Bill Clinton had Kenneth Starr! What would I do with my spare time if I couldn't drive that idiot to an asylum every once and awhile. Let's face it, Gumption completes me."

Tushingham D. Hamsta - "I don't know a thing about any "Gumption", but I love a good Philly cheese steak with me grog. Tastes just as good comin' up as goin' down it does! WAIT!.. actually I think one time I was choking this judge in Cincinnati and he said I had a lot of gumption. It was either gumption or Jack Daniels, but who can bloody remember?

Leonard the Mole - "Terrance says the technical term for Mr. Gumption is 'Friggin' A-hole'. Although I think it a dubious diagnosis based on his history of rabid narcissism, flights of paranoia and an obviously horrific childhood. I would diagnose him as a classic 301.22 Schizotypal Personality Disorder who might be helped by some Dolphin-assisted therapy, but I do like hearing Terrance say 'friggin' a-hole'."

Turk (The Naked Turtle) Tackleburry - "I think its exemplary that Mr. Gumption gets so many reception jobs despite having absolutely no social skills and a preternatural hatred for everything."
