and gentlemen missed

if you missed last Sunday's The Pretty Okay Ho-hum Specatcular on Ice!, then you missed the night when The Gentlemenly Gentlemen hosted.


ahh yes, The Gentlemenly Gentlemen, Chad Fogland and Danforth France.

the evening was started off with a rousing rendition of "On Top of Spageheti", featuring a solo from Danforth.


this of course lead to some fantastic yo-yo antics from Chad.


next time Danforth is onstage, he interupted by none other than that wacky asian, Mr. Lee.


it seems that Mr. Lee is "Soo Bored of House". "Mailbox all filled with Papers." "Beds Unbed." "Refridgerator all Empty." "Toliets all Full." Danforth is understanding and suggests the fine establishment of The Ramada Inn, where they are at this very moment. Mr. Lee loves that idea and goes to check in.


"Toot-a-Roo." Toot-a-Roo to you, Mr. Lee and thanks for helping us fulfill our contact agreement with the Ramada Inn.


towards the beginning of the show, it is discovered that Chad has incrediable mental powers allowing him to read peoples minds and if he is so enclined, blow their heads up. this wouldn't be a problem except for the fact that Chad gets a letter form his mom including some pictures of her, which Danforth finds rather attractive.


Danforth fights off dirty thoughts of Chad's mom during the classic Gentlemenly Gentlmen "Yachting Sketch". Ut-oh!


luckily for Danforth, Chad is busy elsewhere and tinfoil seems to block out Chad's mental powers. plus, Danforth gets a visit from Ralphie Fatzo, the world's fattest comedian- wait a second, what happened to Fatzo?


it seems that Fatzo has gone on a diet and lost 456lbs. bad news is he hasn't had time to buy new clothes or write new jokes. Ut-oh #2!


it's okay because Big Shoulders, dancing superstar stops by. Wow look at those shoulders. but, Shoulders is stopped and placed under arrest for abusing his girlfriend. Ut-oh #3! what are the Gentlemen going to do?


Phew! The Dancing Chimney just happened to stop by to watch the show and is more than happy to fill in for Big Shoulders.

later, Danforth confronts Chad about his crazy plot to bring balance to the world by having everyone contract every incurable disease know to man, bringing mankind to a sharklike utopia of health. a massive swordfight happens. "You were ther Choosen one!", shouts Danforth as he jumps from the piano. after a two bit battle, Chad is easily defeated. but wait! Chad causes his essisance to accumulate and leave his earthly body to form a high density form of light and energy. and with that, The Gentlemenly Gentlemen sing thier classic closing song, "The Impossible Dream".

quite a show. eh, Danforth?

ohhh, Danforth. you silly, silly cad.

first standing ovation

i'm at work. and at work, they pipe in this contemporary jazz music throughout the hallways and even in the bathrooms, where for some reason, the music is louder. i guess perhaps to deafen the noise of plops and tinkles.

anyway, i was just in the bathroom, doing my business to a lovely jazz piano performance. i finished and as i flushed the toliet, the song ended and there was an uproar of applause and cheers that lasted all the while as i washed my hands and returned down the hallway to the office where i work at.

it was the first standing ovation i ever got.
