i dare you to fall in love

a slideshow from "The Pretty Okay Ho-hum Spectacular On Ice!", 9/26/2004.

last sunday it was a tale of stuntmen. it was a tale of rivals. it was a tale of two daredevils, Terrible Tyrannosaurus Throat, a young wild man who is also a rockstar, and Mad Musco Murphy, a retired veteran, a classic stuntman, a good old boy with charm and a mouth full of bubblegum.

the was hosted by Ossie Davis.


there were stuntmen displaying their abilities.


Mad Musco Murphy had a press conference.


reporter, Phil McDonald was there.


as was a journalist from "high times" magazine.


Tryannosaurus Throat sang his hit song "Stunt Rocker".



"the Greatest Daredevil Ever" award was a tie between Throat and Murphy!
Mad Musco Murphy, "i'm coming out of retirement. tonight, i'm going to JUMP this show!"


But Tryannosaurus Throat also states his bid to jump the show. Throat goes first and crashes and burns, literally. "i didn't make the jump. i lost my hand."

"ohhhhhh!"


Musco Murphy makes the jump! but realizes that what he's always missed, the love of his life, Joyce. Murphy to Throat, "i have everything i need now. and i don't need this award. it belongs to you Tyrannosaurus."


Murphy, "just one thing, Tyrannosaurus. you've taken every dare that comes your way. well here's the most dangerous one you'll ever get."
Throat, "what's that?"

Murphy, "i dare you to fall in love."
