It's A Bundyful Life. ('Twas The Night Before Christmas by Al Bundy)

      This was one of my favourite episodes of Married With Children. Originally airing  on December 17th, 1989 this is the trash tv interpretation of the 1946 Christmas film, It's A Wonderful Life. Instead of Clarence the compassionate angel showing our depressed hero the value of his life we have Sam Kinison. How I love Sam Kinison! Our tv hero, Al, the Dad-of-Dads, is down in the dumps at Christmas. After his best efforts at giving something to his much-hated family he wonders what life would have been like without him. After seeing how much happier everyone would have been had he not been born he decides to live.

      One of the highlights of this two-part episode is during one of Al's last-ditch efforts at earning some money to buy his family Christmas presents. He has agreed to babysit horrible children in the shoe store while their horrible mothers go shopping. While the kids are tied up with festive garland they demand entertainment. Al recites the overworked, unappreciated, blue collar version of 'Twas The Night Before Christmas.

'Twas the night before Christmas,
And all through the house,
No food was a-stirrin',
Not even a mouse.

Stockings were hung round
Dad's neck like a tie,
Along with a note that said,
"Presents or die."

Children were plotting
All night in their beds,
While the wife's constant whining
Was splitting his head.

But Daddy had money
This year in the bank,
Then they closed up early,
And now Dad's in the tank.

All of a sudden,
Santa appeared,
A sneer on his face,
Booze in his beard.

"Santa," I said,
As he laughed merrily,
"You do so much for others,
Do something for me."

"Bundy," he said,
"You only sell shoes,
Your son is a sneak thief,
Your daughter's a floose."

"Ho ho," Santa said,
"Should I mention your wife?
Her hair's  like an A-bomb,
Her nails like a knife."

He climbs up the chimney,
That fat piece of dung,
He mooned me two times,
He stuck out his tongue.

I heard him exclaim,
As he broke wind with glee,
"You're married with children,
You'll never be free."

Exploding Toads?! Damn, Nature!

~ ? ? ? ~ ________________________________________________________________ Nature can be as horrific as it can be lovely. After wildlife officials in Hamburg, Germany, had been notified by concerned locals a full investigation was launched into what appeared to be animal abuse. After exhausting several avenues of possibilities, ruling out various potential sources such as contaminants, poisons, rats, etc.. the cause was traced to crows. Crows living in a park with a small pond discovered that there is a way to harvest the delicious livers from these toads without facing the consequence of touching the toxic secretions from their skin. _________________________________________________________________ Click the link to watch the National Geographic documentary on Hamburg's  exploding toads.

It's a Long and Dirty Road

    Over the last four years Mark Hughes has come a long way in comedy. At the moment Hughes is half the driving force behind the ever-expanding Comedy Shocker series. Starting as a novelty and growing with every show it's quickly become a staple in the Vancouver comedy scene. Every show has a fun new lineup of dirty people with the kind of jokes that'll make a sailor blush. From show to show the topics change as consistently as the line-up and, while everyone in the audience will certainly have an idea of what they hope to see, there will always be something unexpected in store. Between organizing the Comedy Shocker, and spending an unfathomable amount of time on stage, Hughes was able to find some time to chat about the path of a dirty comic. Following the rocky road of learning how read an audience and sell a joke, Hughes talks candidly about the ups and downs that define his path as a comedian. DK: Hi Mark, it's good to see you again. So, you're one of the
