It's been a while since we've talked to you. In fact it hasn't been since November. I'll try to get you up to date.
December - No shows this month. In Canada everything shuts down for a holiday we call Christmas. Do you guys have that? Named after Chris Cringle, a gluttonous man who gave presents to all the boys and girls in the world for no good reason. On December 24th Chris would hand out presents and then invite everyone to his mother's house for dinner the next day. As the years went by, everyone would get excited about getting presents and then going to "Chris' ma's." Eventually it became known as Christmas, then was bought by the Coca-Cola company and became the holiday we now celebrate.
There is an alternate version as to how Christmas got started but it sounds kinda far-fetched.
Jan
Our first show of the year was in Newfoundland. Great fun, lovely people and an alcohol called Screetch. Brad was still tipsy when we boarded the plane the next day and was actually funnier than he was on stage...that is to say he was actually funny. His cavity search wasn't as long as I thought it would be.
We did a show in Tuscon where the audience was surrounded by an Indian Craft fair. Odd, though I did pick up a nice dreamcatcher.
Feb.
Brad got married in Hawaii.. The ceremony was lovely, the bride beautiful with an angelic smile throughout the ceremony. There was an awkward moment when she almost snapped out of the hypnotic trance Brad had put her under, but he quickly made her think she was Celine Dion and she favoured us with a farewell tour.
It was a lovely week and heartfelt congrats to the both of them.
March
Brad had 5 inches taken off the back of his skull in hopes to blend in with the rest of us who have normal size heads. The operation took 3 days, a diamond tip chisel, and four plastic surgeons and a man who works in a rock quarry. The operation was successful and Brad's extra skull bits are now attached to the space shuttle where they happily absorb heat during re-entry.
The end of the month had us meeting the President of the United States in the Oval Office where he made me Governor of Rhode Island and made me swear not to tell anyone...oh...just forget I said anything.
April
On April Fool's day Brad played a joke on me. He told me that he was retiring and that he wasn't going to do any more shows. He had to admit he was joking after I quickly replaced him on the tour with a guy I saw on the street. So, for those of you who had bought tickets to A Night with Colin Mochrie and Old Crazy Morty, I'm afraid that won't be happening.
Talk to you soon
The shows have been going well. We have invented some new games and are trying them out
