Into the Jaws of Death

Album Info:
Folks... yep, this stunt went off just like the countless times we practiced it after watching some old re-runs of "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom". My son Dylan, bravely portraying Jim, was literally like a "Transformer" with his vice-like grip assuring my personal safety throughout the shoot... again! Being much older, I naturally assumed the role of Marlon Perkins looking debonairly into the very jaws of death while... still smiling for the camera. As usual for these types of death defying feats, my wife and personal assistant Jan was brilliantly behind the lens working her photographic magic... again. MTV, here we come! Oh, by the way, don't you kids at home try this... we are trained professionals... trained professionals with years of experience working together as a finely tuned machine! Unfortunately, we won't be able to commit to any possible professional bookings for the next fifteen months. We had to temporarily split up the act while Dylan does his second Army tour of duty in Iraq and the 'gator gets a few new shellackings by the bulldog. Jan and I have since retired to our home in Hawai'i to wait it out for the duration. Look for us all to be together again in the Spring of 2009. Dylan, you're the best partner I've ever had. Let it roll, son, let it roll!

Clark,Oops, I mean Marlon, Very nice. Did the gator have "Gator Breath?" You are so brave! I sure won't try this at home. What kind of professional training does it take? I may have to take that course. Randy

You're right - you're a polished team and 'clowns' to boot! On the more serious side, be safe Dylan - and yes, come home soon. We'll be praying for you and your family! ... The Clarks in FL.
