The Orphanage

Adopted but still unloveable

About Me

In the immortal words of famed daredevil Robbie Knievel, two boxcars crashed together and Davey and Danny popped out of the hobo's butt. After an orphaned childhood of gruel, chimney sweeping and the occasional musical number, Davey and Danny were adopted by The Ticket, a wildly successful sports radio station in Dallas, Texas.

Paying their dues by emptying Rhyner's colostomy bag and vacuuming Norm's egg farts out of the studio upholstery, the two soon caught the eye of station management. At the conclusion of an exhaustive audtion process consisting of one slapped together show, Davey and Danny were entrusted to carry on the coveted Saturday 10-noon timeslot, vacated by the AIDs infected corpse of The Rant.

Finally given their big break, the two sons of a hobo hope to once and for all earn the love of a cruel world that has been giving them constant kicks to the crotch. Please listen. For the love of God, please listen.
