After making post two above, I saw this article-title in today's newspaper:

The Egghead and the Welsh rarebit

Reported without comment.

I can't confirm the truth of the following - but....

Apparently one of these guys has his girlfriend's name (Wendy) tattooed upon - well, you know... Most of the time it simply reads "Wy"

He was recently doing a show in Jamaica and couldn't help but notice (whilst using the gents' facilities) another guy had the same tattoo. Amazed, he said, "Do you have that tattoo because your lady's name is Wendy?".

"No mon" the other guy replied, "It says Welcome to Jamaica, hope you have a nice stay".

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

If it isn't, it should be! These guy's should have it hanging in their dressing room.

i dragged this to the top for all the US'ers... The magic men are scheduled to be on Jay Leno tonight --that is if your local affiliate doesn't pull the show..or otherwise block the segment.

you can see all the excitement (or lack there of, as i understand it) tonight.

they seem to have created 'franchises' since the show is still playing in NY, and is also playing in LA...

rehersal and try out for the must be interesting... and imaging writing home to your parents, that you have finally made it big, on the great white way... and your starring in...

We don't have anyone from Iowa here do we? i wonder how it will play in Peoria.

Seems to me there was an act similar to this described by the late great Spike Milligan in one of his books about life in the Army during WW2. At the end of the "performance" they played the National Anthem and....

Well I missed Jay Leno last night. Can't help but wonder what I missed. The act sounds like it brings a whole new meaning to the adage that it isn't the size but what you do with it that counts...

also, it was all talk.... it did explain how they came to planning and producing the show, but no "dick tricks" as they called them, where available.

i some times wonder how it is that i live in a country that still has such a childish attitude towards nudity, and the body.

after midnight audiences aren't children, and by the way, the name Puppetry of the Penis, does give you a clue.

the Salt Lake City Utah affiliate refused to even air the show-- LDS should be called latter day liars, the Marriot hotel chain, headquartered in SLC, and headed by rightous mormans fathers, is one of the biggest purveyers of porn in US.

i guess they are only in favor of porn when they are getting a cut of the profits. not that i think the P of the P is porn, but i don't see much wrong with most porn. sometimes its funny, and very often it is boring, and every once in a while its just what you want.
