THIS YEAR, WE MARK THE ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE SERENGETI MASSACRE, THAT TERRIBLE DAY WHEN FORTY-FOUR OF OUR OWN WERE KILLED BY A SINGLE DEN OF LIONS.

COUSIN NICKY COULDN'T BE WITH US
TONIGHT, AS HE WAS RECENTLY KILLED

DON'T BOTHER APPLAUDING...
HE CAN'T HEAR YOU.

...AND NOW I'D LIKE TO TURN THINGS OVER TO COUSIN JIMMY, WHO'LL PAY TRIBUTE TO THE ZEBRAS FROM OUR HERD WHO WERE KILLED BY LIONS THIS YEAR.
YEAH, THIS YEAR WE LOST PAIGE, KIM, RANDY, BARBARA, MITCH, EDNA, LORRIE, ERIN, STEPHANIE, PAM, HEATHER, SID, AMY, MARY ANNE, LISA, IVAN, ALEX, NICOLE, PERI, TOBY, JOHN, SHAWNA, MARY, LUNA, MEREDITH, CLARKE, SANDRA, PATRICK --

UNFORTUNATELY, BRAVE COUSIN STEVIE COULDN'T BE WITH US TONIGHT, AS HE DRANK ONE TOO MANY TIMES FROM SAID WATERING HOLE AND IS NOW DEAD.
...WILL THE CROCODILES AT THE BACK TABLE PLEASE STOP HIGH-FIVING EACH OTHER?

...AND THIS YEAR, THE AWARD GOES TO...

Dear President Bush,
There are 192 countries.
So far, you've only bombed two.
Even if you win re-election, you only have 65 months left in office.
If we are to get them all, you will need to bomb three per month from here on out.
For us to sustain that kind of pace, you will need to stop wasting time asking the U.N. and Congress for approval. They are silly girly-girls.
P.S. If we have extra time, I suggest hitting France more than once.
DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE GONNA SEND A LETTER LIKE THAT TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. THEY'RE GONNA INVESTIGATE YOU FOR BEING SUCH A WHACKO.
OKAY... OCTOBER IS MEXICO, CANADA AND HAWAII.
No, no, sir. Hawaii's ours.

IN ORDER TO BE A MORE UNDERSTANDING PERSON, I'M GONNA TRY AND SEE LIFE THROUGH SOMEONE ELSE'S EYES.
I'LL START WITH THAT GUY OVER THERE.
OHHHH, TO BE THAT RAT AT THE COUNTER INSTEAD OF THE MISERABLE PATHETIC IDIOT THAT IS ME.
THAT WASN'T SO HARD.

... BUT YOU LOOK LIKE BOLOGNA.
... TAKE THAT BACK.
... OR MAYBE A PIECE OF SALAMI.
OKAY...I'VE ABOUT HAD IT WITH YOU ARROGANT AMERICANS TELLING EVERYONE WHAT'S WHAT...
...I'M GOING HOME, EH?
I AGREE... CANADIAN BACON IS NOT BACON.

THIS IS MY NEW CAMERA... I'M GONNA TAKE PICTURES OF FAMOUS ATHLETES IN ACTION.
WHO YOU GONNA START WITH?
TIGER WOODS... I GOT A TICKET TO THE P.G.A. CHAMPIONSHIP, SO I'M GONNA GET REALLY CLOSE TO HIM AND TAKE A GREAT SHOT OF HIM IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS SWING.
... AND HERE HE IS WRAPPING THE THREE-IRON AROUND MY HEAD.

EXCUSE ME, GOOD NEIGHBOR, BUT COULD I TROUBLE YOU FOR A CUP OF SUGAR?
SURE... HANG ON.
HERE.
THANKS.
WHY DID YOU DO THAT?
I JUST NEEDED THE CUP.

IF THIS PLAYER CAN WIN A WORLD SERIES, HE'LL FINALLY GET THE DONKEY OFF HIS BACK.
MONKEY.
GET THE DONKEY OFF HIS MONKEY.
...THAT'S ONE STRONG MONKEY.

RAT SAYS YOUR UNCLE’S REAL SICK AND HAS BEEN CONFINED TO HIS COUCH FOR WEEKS.
I GUESS YOU DIDN'T HEAR.
HEAR WHAT?
WE LOST HIM.
DID YOU LOOK UNDER THE CUSHIONS?

The Adventures of Angry Bob in 'A Big Fat Talk 'o' Woe'
Tired of dying, Angry Bob undied and returned to the bar where he had died just a week earlier.
"It's so dumb to set yourself on fire to impress a woman," he thought.
"To impress a woman, one must be indifferent and elusive. Not an easy skill."
Thus, Angry Bob sat quietly, sat quietly 'til his mind had wandered and fallen off the track and walked awkwardly to the jukebox.
Two women followed. Angry Bob tepidly pushed some buttons, whacked the side,
and stood hoping.
Eight more women followed Bob went to the men's room.
Fourteen women stood outside the door. Angry Bob walked out and went straight to
the pool table.
Seventy-one women surrounded the table. Angry Bob had died and returned more knowledgeable.
Thus, Angry Bob silently surveyed the fine selection of beauties surrounding him and made the fatal error of trying to save
a hair from his forehead ...
...for the surging throng of beauties had crushed him against the bar.
Bob snapped like a toothpick and died.
... and felt an acute shortage of breath.
IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING.

DUDE, MY FRIENDS SAY YOU RIPPED

HELP YOU...

HEY, BUDDY, WANNA BUY A SHIRT?
WHY WOULD I WANT TO BUY A SHIRT THAT SAYS THAT?
BECAUSE THEY'RE ON SALE.

WHAT'S NEIGHBOR BOB GOT ON HIS SHIRT?

I GUESS WE KNOW WHO WEARS THE ANTS IN THAT FAMILY.
