Days of Our Lives

*now that it seems that our fake radio show, The Superfriends, has been canceled, lets see what our friends are up to these days*

-aboard flight 93 headed to Australia-

Mandy is snoring and drooling in her seat as Rohan catches up on some highlights from the Dallas Mavericks NBA championship win

Mandy (snore, drool, burp)
Rohan: man this Dirk guy is good! (wonders to himself, again why did I lose to Brian in basketball)
flight attendant: excuse me sir, can you tell your wife to quiet down please? she is causing a ruckus!
Rohan: (embarrassed) sure no problem. hey Mandy, (nudges her) quiet down, your embarrassing me.
5 minutes later
flight attendant: excuse me sir, can you please wake you wife, she is snoring something fierce!
Rohan: (nudges) Mandy, wake up!
Mandy: (semi-awake) what, huh?
Rohan: you're snoring too loud!
Mandy wipes the drool from her mouth and continues sleeping.
Rohan puts his earbuds in and fires up some Metallica.
Mandy awakens to the said Metallica blaring from Rohan's head phones and screams, "Rohan, you're being too loud!"
Rohan slumps in his chair as knows they still have 18 hours left on their flight.

-back in the great state of Texas-

*crickets, leaves rustling, the sound of hot ensues-
Brian in a little girls voice, "Christy it is too hot!"
Christy: no it's not!
Brian checks his phone for a weather update, and it is a sweaty 108.
Brian: babe, it is 108!
Christy: Brian, man-up! put your big boy panties on and help me with this tent.
-Christy and Brian are in LLano Texas, camping for the weekend.
Brian mutters under his breath, "it's too hot!"
Christy: what was that Brian??
Brian: I said it is er, um, I need a shot! (looking like death warmed over)
Christy: once we put up the tent we can go climb the Rock! (the rock is called Enchanted Rock)
Brian: but, I need my xanax to kick in first!
Christy: (sigh) well get after it then, mama, needs to go on a hike...
Brian: (mutters) don't tell me what to do?
Christy: throws the poles at Brian and you make the tent, I'm going for a run!
Brian is left standing with a heap of tentness and has no clue what to do.
Christy is seen running out on a rocky trail for her daily run.
Brian: I wish we were staying in Fredericksburg, this is silliness!
5 yr. old boy camper: hey, you need some help mister?
Brian: with what? oh this, nah, I can handle it!
5 yr. old camper: doesn't look like it, let me help.
5 yr. old camper proceeds to put up the tent post haste.
Brian: wait, let me help those poles are heavy!
5 yr. old camper ignores Brian and puts up the tent and wanders back over to parents campsite.
Brian looks on in wonder.
the little boy can be seen giving his dad a hi-five and throws a football back and forth with him.
Brian sits in a heap of sweat and embarrassment.
Christy has returned from her jaunt and is amazed that Brian has put the tent up all by himself.
Christy: good job babe!
Brian: but, I didn't....
Christy: what, it looks good!
Brian: you're not hearing me...
Christy: just take a compliment, geeze!
Brian takes his xanax and is ready to climb Enchanted Rock.

-meanwhile in the burbs of North Richland Hills-

Troy is seen playing with kids and his wife Becca come into the room all excited!
Becca: Troy!!!!!!!!!!!
Troy with baby toys tossed to and fro, "yes dear"
Becca: I'm pregnant!!!!
Troy: what??? again???
Becca: yes!!! (in joyous hysterics)
Troy is left to ponder how and why...

-flight 93 has landed in Geelong, Australia-
Rohan awakens Mandy and they leave the airplane
Mandy: Rohan, do you ever think about our fake radio show?
Rohan: Mandy, we just got back home! it's not even been 24 hours....
Mandy: I know I know, but it was so much fun working with Brian and Christy.
Rohan: well, I've had enough of the Texas heat, Brian beating me repeatedly in basketball, and being away from home...
Mandy: well, it just seems like we could figure something out about it!
Rohan: like what?
Mandy: maybe we could do it still, like an overseas show.
Rohan: Mandy, lets go please. I have some fishing to do.
Mandy: alright! (looks longing out the car window, as they drive to their house)

-back at Enchanted Rock-
Christy and Brian heave to and trice up the side of the Rock
Christy: see babe, you're a beast!
Brian sheepishly looks around and notices he is about 3/4 of the way to the top
Brian: you know what? I'm well past the point that Mandy has hiked up here! (triumphantly proclaims)
Christy: yes you are dear! she stopped way down there. (points back down the rock)
Brian races his beautiful wife the remaining steps to the top
Christy: see hon, you did awesome!
Brian boldy thrusts his arms in the air and Christy sheds a tear for hubby's great accomplishment
Brian and Christy share a quiet moment and Brian whispers to her,"wonder if we could revive our radio show?"
Christy: but, Mandy and Rohan are in Australia?? and I have a real, I mean, new job...
Brian: just a thought!

-back in North Richland Hills-
Troy is seen cleaning up the toys and rocks baby Chase to bed
Becca has been nonstop on the phone telling all her friends about her impending pregnantness
Troy looks out the window and ponders what it will be like not technically directing the Superfriends radio show

-at Enchanted Rock-
Brian and Christy pack up from their eventful weekend of camping and hiking. while driving out of the park, they turn the radio on and Voodoo Child by Jimi Hendrix is playing....
Christy looks at Brian and Brian back at Christy, and they both give a knowing nod!

-Geelong, Australia-
Rohan turns on the radio and catches the tale end of Voodoo Child by Jimi Hendrix and Mandy is giggling at the memories of the Superfriends.

* tune in next time as we rate and debate what will happen next *

goodnight LLano...

End of an Era?

*it has been almost a year since we last heard from the Superfriends*

while digging through piles of dirty clothes, I have unearthed audio which sounds like the last days of the Superfriends broadcast!

Mandy: Rohan, where is my bucket of tuna??
Rohan: Mandy, we are not packing tuna to take with us to Australia!!
Mandy: (looking confused) yes, yes we are...
Rohan: ummmm, no we aren't! they have tuna in Australia.
Mandy looks for her tuna bucket...

-meanwhile at the Peters/Robinson residence-
Brian awakes from his sleep to a bountiful heap of kittens
Brian: arghhhhhhh! what the ................
Christy: (comes running in the room) what happened? did you fall off the bed again?
Brian: (looking unamused) no! what is this? (pointing to the 2 little hair balls of kittens)
Christy: (kicking the ground with her foot) what? these cute little guys??
Brian: yes! where did they come from?
Christy: babe, if I have to explain where kittens come from then......
Brian: not funny! we are not keeping kittens here??
Christy: (makes a sound never ever heard before) YES WE ARE!
Brian looking over at these 2 mops of mess as they bat playfully at each other
Brian: (looking at his beautiful wife) ok.....
Christy: yippee! (does the happy dance)

-meanwhile back at the Buck residence-
Rohan: Mandy, does Brian still have my basketball?
Mandy: yes, remember that was the prize when ya'll played last!
Rohan: ok, ok! don't have to rub it in.
*phone rings*
Mandy: (picks up phone) hello!
on the other end is Christy
Christy: helloooo ledddeee! can you believe this is our last fake radio show??
Mandy: (all verklempt) I know.. and we are moving back to Australia!
Christy drops the phone and stands in silence
Mandy: hello, hello, Christy!!
*dialtone is heard*

approximately 10:47am
final pre-show run through

Brian: everyone here??
Mandy: well, Rohan went to go buy another basketball.
Christy: hey Brian, did you hear something?
Brian: hon, that is Mandy talking.
Mandy's jumping up and down, wondering why Christy didn't hear her or see her even though she has phone book to sit on
Christy: can we get on with this, I have some really money to make!
Mandy's still waving at Christy
Brian: Mandy, she is ignoring you!
Mandy slumps in a heap and eventually slides of the phone book onto the floor
Brian: ok, guys where is Troy? we can't do our final show without my trusted longtime friend.
Mandy: yes we can!
Christy is busy throwing darts at her Glenn Becksized poster
unbeknowing to the crew, Troy has tweeted that today he will not be coming to the finale.
his twitter handle is, #youcan'thandlethis. it tweets that he will be having lunch at the new In N' Out burger in Ft. Worth.
Mandy: but that doesn't open til September!
Mandy looks up the exact date of the opening and notices a story about a line already forming.
Brian: well, we will just have to make do!

*blasting through the sun baked studios is Jimi Hendrix's VooDoo Child*
Brian: welcome one and all to the last edition of the Superfriends 93.8.
Christy is seen pulling the darts out of Beck's face on her wall poster
Brian: on tap today, we have social media in sports, the upcoming Cowboys season and kitten talk.
Mandy: kitten talk??
Christy: kitten talk!!! I'm on it.....
Brian: well, while Christy gets her material together, lets take a few phone calls, shall we.
Mandy: line 1, you're on...
line1: hey Mandy, please turn your cell phone on, I have been trying to call you. our plane leaves earlier than I thought!!
Mandy: Rohan!! are you serious??? I'm on my way...
Brian: wait, what about the sho......
Mandy: sorry, I have to go, we can't miss our flight!
Mandy is seen running out of the studio with tuna bucket in hand, yelling out for Rohan, that she is on her way.
Christy is now ready for kitten talk.
Brian: babe, can we postpone this please. Mandy and Rohan are gone. Troy is AWOL.
Christy: wait!! did you have me get all these pictures and whatnot of these cute little kittens and now I'm being told to wait???
Brian: (defiantly) yes!
Christy leaves in a huff, looking at her kitty pictures and heads home to snuggle up to her 2 new baby kittens....

Brian is left all alone with none of his *Superfriends* not knowing that it would end like this...

not wanting to go out in a whimper, he reaches for his stash of Metallica cd's and plays them violently as he eats left over spaghetti.

-all that can be heard is Metallica's Sad But True.....

goodnight Canada!
