Bang Bang Bang, Boom Boom Boom

Previously on the Superfriends-

Mandy is furiously trying to open a can of tuna for dinner. Rohan walks in, sees what his wife is making for dinner and calmly turns around and walks out.

At the Peters/Robinson bungalow, Christy throws another log on the fire and Brian saunters up to his lovely and massages her feet. Christy muses, "these are the days!" Brian retorts, "yes these are the days!" Brian exhales in the majesty of the night but is interrupted by the smoke of the fireplace. Christy frantically checks to see if her mate is ok to which Brian shakes off any ill effects and proceeds to lotion up his wife's feet.

Voodoo Child by Jimi Hendrix rips through the Superfriends studio and Brian is already in full show hosting duties.
Brian points to Mandy to be ready, nods at Christy as she drinks her coffee and fake football tosses with Troy. Seems like the crew is 100% ready to go.
Mandy interjects: Brian, why did you point at me?
Brian smacks his head
Troy: because you dope, he's making sure we're ready to go.
Mandy: don't call me a dope you long haire.......
Brian: knock it off you two..
Christy spins in her new chair that Brian bought for her, unknowingly spalshing coffee all over her computer screen.

Brian looks at everyone and wonders where he went wrong.

Mandy: are we doing Mandy's minute today?
Brian: maybe, but I thought we would go around the room and see what everyone got for Christmas this year?
Christy is hurriedly cleaning coffee off her computer. Troy is flipping through ESPN.
Mandy: well, I can see the respect oozing from everyones pores.
Brian: Mandy, I'll let you go first on presents received this year.
Mandy: ok, I got a watch, shoes, and a scarf from Rohan.
Troy goes next: Becca got me a Harley Davidson golf hat and bag, and game tickets to a Dallas Stars game.
Christy: I got fro my man, an Ulta gift card, scarf, sweater, tool box and 2 brand new kittens.
Mandy: he got you 2 new kittens......?
Brian: Mandy, lets let everyone finish ok!
Mandy gives Brian the #1 salute.
Brian: my hot got me; a new shirt, a pullover sweater, a treasure chest to put grandma goodies in and a DNA kit.
Troy: a DNA kit?
Mandy: does she not think you belong to your parents??
Christy: geeze you guys, it's a cool new thing called 23andme. You spit in a tube, send it off and it gives you results of your ancestry.
Troy: weird!
Brian: I like it thank you very much. we're not done though, we have our show gifts to unveil.
Christy: do we have too?
Mandy is giggling and clapping hands at the thought of receiving gifts.
Brian: yes my love, we must. I had Mandy, Mandy had Christy, Troy had me, Christy had Troy.
Troy whips out his gift for me and it's suite tickets to the upcoming Stars game.
Brian: wow, dude, thanks for thinking of me!
Troy: well, actually they're from  my work.
Brian schlumps in his chair.
Troy opens his gift and it's a Harley Davidson can opener.
Troy already puts it to use and cracks open a beer.
Christy opens her gift and it's a kitten bed for her new kittens.
Brian rejoices, thinking that the kitten bed won't be in the master bedroom with them while they sleep.
Christy already is drawing a map of where to put the kitten bed in the master bedroom.
Brian schlumps even further in his chair.
Mandy opens her gift from Brian thinking that it's going to be anything but something tuna. Mandy unwraps said gift and is amazed that it is a candle. (not knowing it's a tuna scented candle.)

Everyone fake smiles and side hugs all.
Troy is wearing his Harley can opener out.
Brian is rubbing his hands together for the Stars game. (not knowing its on opening night of the Star Wars film)
Christy has already raced home and has placed the kittens, named Bevo and fluffy, in the kitten bed on their masterbed. She neatly places them on Brian's side of the bed.
At home, Mandy lights her candle, basking in the glow of a non tuna gift this year from Brian. Rohan walks in and wonders what in the world that smell is?
Rohan: what is that sme....?
Mandy rushes over to the candle and takes in a deep whiff of the candle and is disgusted to find out it is indeed a tunafish scented candle. She shakes her fist up to the heavens and claims, "Brian, I'll get you for this!"

Join us next time on the Superfriends, as we celebrate our 8th year on the (fake) air. Will Mandy get even with Brian? Will Troy overuse his can opener? Will Christy get to keep the kitty bed in their bed? (*spoiler alert* answer is yes, always yes) And finally, will Brian choose going to see Star Wars or going with his long time bud and see the Stars game?

Til then, carry on and look to the heavens!

Bizarro Christmas 2015

we open with a moment of silence in memory of the great Melba Higginbotham (better known as grandma)
 *moment of silence*

Bizarro Christmas has become a tradition here on this wildly successful blog site, so with the recent departure of my dear departed grandmother, this blog will be dedicated in her honor.

Bizarro Christmas cast includes:
Brian as Brandt
Christy as Chrystal
Mandy as Mindy
Rohan as Rod
Troy as Richard
Becca as Becky

featuring-
Roy as Rock
Travis as Trance
Rachel as Raquel

Brandt is glumly sitting in his new house, head in hand, gazing out the window. Chrystal walks by and pats her robust and handsome husband on his head and asks, "need anything dear?" Brandt responds, "yeah, my grandma!" Chrystal leans in and kisses her husband on the forehead and says a silent prayer for him.
Chrystal meanwhile is bustling around getting the house in order for Christmas festivities. Brandt arouses from his depressed state and cleans out the dishwasher. Brandt asks his beautiful wife, when everyone is coming over and she politely says, "7:30pm". Brandt realizes that is is 7:10pm and he hasn't even cleaned up yet.
Chrystal places a call to Mindy and reminds her to tell Rod not to brag about beating Brandt in their weekly basketball game. Mindy asks why and Chrystal tells her to look at the calendar. Mindy looks at her calendar and cant figure what Chrystal means.
Rod enters the room with Mindy staring at the calendar and mentions, "be nice to Brandt, this Christmas is the 1 year anniversary of his grandma passing." Mindy feels like a heel.

Chrystal has food and drink prepared, all the while Brandt has cleaned the house from pillar to post.

*door bell rings*
The first guests arrive and it is Richard and Becky. Richard is adorned in Harley Davidson golf shirt and slacks and Becky is wearing a pant suit. Mindy and Rod arrive shortly after with the tuna casserole in tow.
Chrystal asks MIndy, "I thought you weren't bringing that this year?" Mindy retorts, "what, everyone loved it last year!" Mindy doesnt realize that Brandt secretly deposited said casserole in the trash last year due to an ungodly stench.

All the guests have arrived and Rock is serving everyone up a frosty beverage. Trance is showing off his new Star Wars light saber, Raquel is rolling her eyes at the mention of Star Wars and Rod is telling anyone who will listen about the Australian gun policy.

Chrystal welcomes one and all to the feast and Brandt toasts his guests.

During the meal, good time and good eats was had by all. Stories of yesteryear and times bygone were told. Mindy expressed her love of all thing tuna, Rod talked nonstop basketball, Rock got another round of drinks, Raquel talked about the use of google, Richard made motorcycle noises with his mouth, Becky delighted all about tales of dogs, Chrystal enlightened all with knowledge and intellect, and Brandt ended with stories of his sainted grandma. Tears were shed, laughs were bellowed, and hugs were forced.

Brandt closed the evening with this bon mot, "Love all, and cherish everyone!"

Merry Christmas!
