Transcript:
Goat: What's the matter with you? Rat: Long night. Booze. Broads. Brawling. So cut the yapping. Penguins: Good mornin' mornin' mornin' from your peppy penguins. We hope that you're enjoyin' this message that we're sendin'." Penguin 1: Some guys just aren't morning people.

Don’t blame the instrument; blame the player.

Little-known piece of historical trivia. The reason they call it a “banjo” is because nobody could agree how to spell “@&*%+#”.

Reminds me of the cartoon where the opera singer breaks the banjo over Bugs Bunny’s head.

These guys remind me of the Buddy Bears from the old “Garfield and Friends” cartoon, back in the 90s.
Sisyphos about 11 years ago
Good job, Rat! Congratulations (except you left them conscious). Maybe a big truck will render them roadkill….Nobody should be cheery in the @#$%^&* morning!

I think they should try this at the croc’s house….

I wonder if Rat was born on a mountain and raised in a cave…

The single MOST ANNOYING thing about morning people is: THEY INSIST THAT EVERY ONE ELSE SHOULD BE JUST LIKE THEM!!!!! You don’t see us night-owls trying to force morning people to be happy and energetic at 11 pm do you?

You heard about the terrorist who kidnapped a bus load of banjo players? He threatened to release them if his demands weren’t met.

Ah, the three “Bs”; Beer, Broads, and Brawling"… now that’s a lifestyle choice. I hate it when I get up in the morning and there’s no beer in the fridge. What’s a guy to do?What’s that, dear? No, I meant “Boards”. I’m repairing the deck today, yeah, that’s what I meant…..

A jury would never convict Rat.At least the Penguins were not playing the Deliverance song.I get annoyed when they sing this stupid Happy Happy Birthday song at Joes Crab Shack clapping the whole time.I would like to thank each one of the singers with a good kick in the crotch. Girls included.

Rat likes to twist open his Oreos before he consumes them.

DOSQueen and Sisyphos: No sympathy for either. Night worker, day sleeper; guess when HOA and city think is the best time to start lawn mowers, weed whackers, and jack hammers?.Try to complain? “But we are doing it when nobody is sleeping!”.Oh, so I’m a “nobody”?.But guess what happens when I try to shovel my walk before I go to bed? You guessed it – a complaint to the HOA because I woke someone before 8 AM!

Ever try to sell a condo in Aurora?.Buyer asks what’s the price. I tell him..“Oh, that’s what you want to pay me to take it off your hands?”.(meant to be a play on the banjo and zucchini jokes, above)

Definition of “perfect pitch:” When the accordion and the banjo both hit the dumpster at the same time. And, say, how’s that penguin going to hit an E-flat chord on that long banjo neck with those stubby flippers?

Those two are digging their own graves!

We’ll see if Rat has perfect pitch.
(The ability to throw an accordion into a dumpster so that it lands directly on the necks of the banjos).

Are either of these penguins named Opus, btw?
or has that been asked? :) Tribute to BB?
