| CANADA'S SOURCE FOR HUMOUR, PARODY, AND SATIRE
NEW BEDROCK CITY-- Mark Burton may attribute his illusions to his excessive drinking. Mark has been suffering from mild depression, and his solution was to get the answer to his problems from his good friend Jack Daniels. But a consequence of Jack's actions was the sudden manifestation of an animated alien conscience, a little green creature determined to turn Mark's already upside-down life...upside-downer.
"I know I've watched far too many episodes of The Flintstones," said Mark. "That much I'll admit. But for me to be imagining characters from that show is a little crazy. But if I'm going to seeing things, why couldn't it be someone sexier, like Betty [Rubble]?" Mark's semi-animated hallucinations revolve around the little green alien "The Great Gazoo", a misfit space-traveller who constantly pestered the mod-historic stone-age family man. Gazoo, who was apparently banished from his own planet for being too annoying, has been a constant nuisance in Mark's life. And Mark hasn't been able to get him out of his head, or off his shoulder. Oh, but he has tried. But every time Mark thought that he was rid of the "forest-green freak from outer space" he would materialize at an awkward moment, usually in public where the incidents would cause Mark maximum embarrassment. Nobody else ever saw the miniature Martian, who hovered above Mark's head like an oversized gnat. "I've tried bug spray, bribery, and begging. I've even held my breath until I was blue in the face," said Mark, nick-named Dum-Dum. "I've kept my eyes closed for hours at a time, but that little green pest is there the moment I open them to take a peek. I don't know what Fred [Flintstone] did to absolve himself of this meddlesome Martian, but I'm not having any luck." Mark
has been so consumed by the galactic green goblin that he has had no time
to drink himself silly. To distract himself from Gazoo's nosesome interloping,
he's put more effort into his job, repaired relationships with his distanced
friends and family, and given up television all-together in favour of
reading, writing, and rhythmic gymastics.
