Transcript:
Brad: "Big news!"
Mom: "You picked a wedding date!"
Brad: "What? No-"
Mom: "You chose a venue"
Brad: "No"
Mom: "You're going to elope?!"
Brad: "No! It's not a wedding thing"
Brad: "The fire station is hosting a mud run!"
Mom: "Oh"
Dad: "REALLY?"
Yeah⊠when Frank reacts to something like a âMud Runâ, you know heâs probably somewhere in the middle of a Mid Life CrisisâŠ. â Donât let Frank fool you⊠The M in his name (not really!) stands for âMilhausâ, not "Mud"âŠ.
âHereâs Mud In Your EyeââA Soil-ent Green ThumbââSecret Ad-mire-erââCruisinâ For An Oozinâ "âA Dirty Old ManââAn Obstacle! Of Course!ââA Life Of OozeââThe Old MudslingerââCampaign Of PainâorâSoiled Yer Pantsâ
The hell is wrong with nearly everyone here? Luannâs parents are divorcing for sure. Frank is in a midlife crisis. Itâs a fricking comic! Itâs not gonna mirror real life. Iâm sorry your parents hate each other and left you feeling confused in life. Let comics just be comics.
Frank: âWhy donât we hold the event at the warehouse venue that we donât yet own?And while youâre there, you can check it out for code violations.â
Theyâre hosting a mud run for everyone with intestinal parasites, colitis, and gastroenteritis. Itâs going to be gross. But itâs for a good cause!
What are the chances of success for the new warehouse venture?1) 10 votes â Guaranteed because of the adults2) 8 votes â Zero, with TJ involved3) 8 votes â Uncertain, like Luann herself4) 8 votes â Other (mixed responses)5) 2 votes â Low due to zoning laws
Usually Fire Depts. hold something quite âoppositeâ to this. Itâs called a âwed down.â Whenever a new fire house or station is built, or a new piece of apparatus is acquired, the community celebrates by wetting said new house/gear down. FDâs from around the community will arrive at the new house or where the new rig is stationed, approach it with Lights & Sirens on, and pull out a hose and wet the thing down (as if it were on fire). Then they go party at the house.
Depending on the water source, I guess, a lot safer from a health perspective and maybe a bit cleaner. Just donât âstraight streamâ anyone (i.e. full blast of the hose with no sprinkle diffuser)âŠ
There was a time long ago when Brad was frustrated with Toniâs neverending stalling in making plans for that big wedding. Now he doesnât seem to care. What happened?
Where are they making the mud run to? Seems kind of cruel to make the mud run at all. For one thing is there such a thing as runny mud? Iâm so confused.
Maybe Bwad is sneakily going to have it be a âMud Runâ themed wedding ceremony and party? He and Toni became too frustrated with all the âthemesâ and decided to do something wild and crazy. It will save a lot on planning and what not. Then, they can also save, and have Subway cater the event. :)
One manâs âbig newsâ (Bradâs) is anotherâs âho humâ (mine). Our village FD doesnât sponsor mud runs, and I think thatâs just fineâŠ.
Frank and the Captain of Bradâs Fire Station have both lost their minds. Maybe both are having âmid-life crisesâ. Whatever happened to just buying a red sports car and toupe?
âWell, I suppose he could at least spring for a red toupeeâŠâ*BS â Love the red toupee. Or as his assistant asked my doctor, âWhy are you wearing a dead gopher on your head today?â (Yeah, he kept his job)
What! The fire dept. in Southern California is going to waste water on a MUD run? I see some water shaming in the forecast.*BTW â did you get the cloud I sent your way? Might have boomeranged because itâs storming here again as of 5 minutes ago.
Brings to mind a line from a(n) (in)famous play: âToupeâŠ.or not toupe⊠just answer the dumb question!â (âTaming Of The Strand Or Twoâ, starring Billy Shatmer and Patty Stalwart)
I still havenât figured how Frankâs mid-life crisis âdreamâ (has he ever had it before?) has roped Nancy into the idea that their entire life savings and house (as collateral) should be risked on this venture.

A mud run? Woo-hoo!
seismic-2 Premium Member over 9 years ago
A Mud Run sounds like a much cheaper thing to get excited about than restoring the warehouse.

There have been some âscary reportsâ in the news lately, about being careful- not from the course, but from the mud, itselfâŠ.

Iâm surprised to see Nancy excited at possible wedding news; I didnât realize she got over her animosity towards Toni.
comicboyz over 9 years ago
we already know where the venue will be and I suppose the wedding will be its inaugural event

A âmud runâ, aka a chance to âshareâ with your friends and community.

I have run many organized races, but a mud run I avoid. That mud is full of unhealthy things, and I donât want to waller in it.

If they really want to raise money, they should host mud WRESTLING (with Toni in the main event).

Remember Frank. Mud spelled backwards is Dum! From that wise sage, Bugs Bunny.
