![]() Year of Release: N/A JOKE #1: Logan, Ryan, and Kyle are sitting around the good ole' lunch table with friend and Lazy Bear alum Stephen Shaver. Somehow the subject of "gangsta slang" came up and Stephen claimed he could talk the talk. We all laughed heartily at the prospect of Stephen, a very white young man, speaking the language of the ghetto. Kyle immediately challenged him to prove it. He agreed and then set about thinking of something good to say. About 10 minutes later when we'd all forgotten about it, Steve busts out with "Yo, homey, wanna go bust up some skinks?" Let me tell you, folks, this was a real big laugh. After the guffaws died down, Kyle asked him what it meant. Needless to say, he couldn't come up with anything. JOKE #2: Same day. Ryan, Kyle, and Logan are in Student Services at Brentwood High. Some students (apparently members of an extracurricular activity we three had no interest in) were setting up some weird dish-shaped piece of equipment right outside the window. As we entered we made some remark about contacting Mars with this thing. Ryan approached the desk to get some paperwork filed and when he rejoined Logan and Kyle the first thing he heard was Logan say in the high-pitched voice of a Martian commander "Quit sending the spies!" The rest is history. So armed with these two remarks, Logan built an elaborately simple little screenplay where he, Kyle, and Ryan would play themselves as well as three wise old guys. Beanie Babies were at the height of their popularity, as was very bad rap, so combining the two seemed fairly natural (to Logan at least). Far from feature-length, this would be the script that would pioneer the Lazy Bear "short" format. Since then, if it's not a full movie, it's probably as long as Yo homey, wanna go bust up some skinks? or Quit sending the spies. Other notable features include "the Skinmobile" the boys' "chick car" in the film, and the evil Bullseye who's one giant eye was that of a bull, grafted onto his head by his mad-scientist/farmer father. How'd it end? Like any good film, everyone started dancing. Extra Trivial Trivia: If produced, this film would have included a preview for Logan and Ryan Hit The Magic Kingdom, another unproduced project where the boys went to Disney World. Make no mistake, if we had gone, we'd have done it. | |||||
