HEY
HEY, WE'RE THE LOONIES With
a passion for two things, liquor
and the Spice Girls, five men
calling themselves The A-Team set
out on a mission to help those in
need, or at least mock them until
they stopped their
bitching.
Of
course, Stephen J.
Cannell™'s lawyers caught
wind of this and promptly sued
our sorry asses. Fortunately, we
were allowed to plead Canadian,
and the charges were dropped.
Copyright law prevented us from
keeping the whole A-Team name,
and we experimented with several
names1
and
numerous mixed drinks before
settling on the Assorted
Lunatics, mainly because no one
owned the copyright to that name
(that we know of, and if anyone
does, we plead ignorance).
Fortunately
for comedy's sake, lawsuits could
not daunt our devotion to
alcohol, or the Spice Girls. And,
fittingly, all of our projects
have been about Pink Floyd, since
we could never bring ourselves to
mock the Each
year, after the last snowfall but
before the first flower has
bloomed (which is getting more
and more difficult to gauge with
this El Nino™ crap), we all
gather together in a
bed-and-breakfast in an
undisclosed location (okay, so
it's in Bonn, Germany) to
colloaborate on our annual Pink
Floyd parody.
In
1997, we released "A Saucerful of
Sucrets," a parody of Nicholas
Schaffner's history of Pink
Floyd. In 1998, we released the
Pink Floyd "FUQ," a parody of the
Echoes
Frequently Asked Questions list.
And in 1999, we released "Drain
Bamage," a Pink Floyd e-zine. All
these works can be seen at the
Assorted
Lunatics web
site.
In
addition, we've done some solo
projects under the Assorted
Lunatics banner. Myself, I've
written the creatively titled
"An
Interview With David
Gilmour"
and "An
Interview With Roger
Waters,"
both of which can be found on the
Random
Humor
page, or by clicking on the
link.
And
as a
SPECIAL
BONUS,
you may now read the
LUNATICS
PERMISSION
LETTER
(it's funnier than it sounds,
really), which I composed to warn
people in advance that we were
going to be lampooning their
sorry asses (along with the rest
of their body). Check it out.
It's fun for the whole family,
except for Billy, who was
droppped on his head as a
child.
Fans
of the Loonies will be pleased to
hear that we have recently
embarked on a world tour that
includes stops in Las Vegas and
maybe Amsterdam. The world tour
will culminate in a seven-day
drinking binge that will probably
involve as many hookers as we can
get our grubby little hands on.
(You didn't think we picked those
locations by accident, did
you?)
In
addition, we might also find time
to write a non-Pink Floyd related
piece.
