Episode- Bench Dogs Bench

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere's Brucie!

Thank you, thank you... thank you all for sitting at your desks in your long johns and clicking on this blog... it means so much to me that you put that much effort into joining me.  Pretty soon you won't even have to read, once you click the play button... you can lie back, cram your mouth fulla Lunch Dog meatballs and watch the episode as the consummate Bench potato you are!

Here we are, another in a long line of episodes that were started a lo-o-o-ong time ago but are only now seeing the light of day. I can explain.

We were novices.

Yeah, we did things all wrong, made things too long, and did 'em for a song. Our mistake(s). But we have since trimmed the fat, learned from our flubs and picked up some tools of the trade to make it all look a little prettier. Of course, then we load it onto the web at a vastly reduced quality, and you are left with some pretty ragged-looking product. 

At some point we will release a high-quality copy of the entire first season for purchase by you, dear viewer, on a finely-bound series of discs, complete with never-before-seen footage, deleted scenes and the coveted gag reel! Best of all, we will reveal to you our favorite brands of imported ale, so you may send them to us by the case. But that's down the road apiece, for we still know not what we are doing.

Ahem. Back to the episode. We actually shot this one on the heels of the four-part plywood table episode. Mostly because after the table was built, Peter needed some seating for it. So he dragged a few dozen board feet of some salvaged wood over to the shop, massaged my ego, picked my brain and came up with these beauties! Way to go, pumpkin eater!
