Episode 23The episode starts out rocking! Davey is jamming out just like Bun E. Carlos. Look at him go!

Seems like he is being tutored by Jimmy in order to participate in a parade. The lads cruise over to the
firehouse where Davey aces the audition and makes the band. Basking in the glow of victory, they
then head over to the big prize for the parade - a rather majestic looking steed. It has a noble
bearing about it and one could easily accept that it was a proginy of a mighty Arabian. Straight of
back, with a glossy mane - this is a horse's horse. All except...the eyes. It is hard to describe the
animals dead eyes. Very hard to descibe. As close as I can conjour up is a "Piss Hole in the Snow" but
that is not quite right.
The fellahs kick a can over by a house under construction where Male Pattern Baldness Guy is up in the
rafters framing away. The house under construction is actually pretty impressive: with equidistant
studs and strategic cross bracing. Davey has the bright idea to climb the house but MPBG shoos them
off with a gruff "You'll get hurt. Scram". The "hurt" has a bit of a flair to it. New Jersey maybe?
Can't quite place it.
After returning to Jimmy's joint, they decide that Jimmy's parade float sucks balls and a plot to turn
Goliath into a lion encaged in a proper float is hatched. The boys start scrounging around for float materials.
Elaine is coerced into making a lion's mane for Goliath. A whistle blows and the construction crew knocks
off for lunch, so Davey heads on over to the construction site and horks a bunch of wooden spindles. After lunch is over
MPBG is mega pissed as he notices that he has been robbed.
With the ill gotten spindles, the lads build a rather impressive float where Goliath can act like a
caged lion. Goliath then tests out the new lion's mane and it is well...hideous. He looks more like one
of the Monkee's rather than a fierce king of the jungle. You kind of feel bad for him. He has been
disrepected before but not like this.
On the day of the parade, Davey and Golaith are up bright and early and are ready for action over at Jimmy's
house. As Jimmy is choking down breakfast, MPBG shows up and lights Davey up over the stolen wood. Grabs
him by the collar and starts poking him with his calloused Jersey pointy finger.

Davey bitches out and blames the theft on Jimmy and legs it. Can't say that I blame him! MPBG knocks on Jimmy's
doors and J's old man answers. The dad is a male pattern bald type as well and MPGB immediately acknowledges him as
his superior in the bald man's hiearchy - as such there is not the fist fight we were hoping for. Jimmy is
simply barred from the parade.
The parade goes on as planned but is indeed Jimmyless. The best part is when some dude totally zonked out on 'ludes drives
by hauling the nag and no one bats an eye!
Confused that Jimmy is MIA, Davey pops back over to the construction site where MPGB gloats that Jimmy was barred
for being a theiving dawg. Davey confesses and seems contrite but there is no real moral or even a word about
God.
A hoo hum episode. It had its good points - Golaith got humiliated with that Peter Tork wig. So that's cool.
The details on the house under construction is impressive and of course MPBG is the star. The thing is that
he has no help and can't do it alone.
Two and a half roses.
