Merry Christmas, Dumpshock!, My gift for you all Options

A little bit of backround. I first heard this bit in...1999 or 2000, on a local radio show called Elliot in the Morning. At first, I thought they had done it; that show and it's station, DC 101, are famous for their parodies and fake commercials. But I have since learned it was performed by a comedy troupe called The Dead Ale Wives. It's a Dungeons and Dragons parody, and very funny, mostly because it hits close to home. From my very brief investigation, it seems that the Dead Ale Wives are now defunct; their website is now a porn site, and it would be difficult to find any of their CDs. However, the first bit at least is on a CD called "Dr. Demento's 30th Anniversary". Listen to ithere.


They also did a sequel of sorts; that's here.

This next one has nothing to do with gaming, but it's funny. If you've ever wanted to hear Porky Pig singing "Blue Christmas", click here.

Enjoy, and have a happy winter solstice.

Good on ya for linking the good (8bit) version instead of the lame Summoner Geeks version.

(Okay, I like both, but 8bit FTW.)

Oh, and the second link is broken.

"Video has been removed by user"? Sigh. It can also be heard here, but it's only half the length of the original link. This is missing the part when a player's girlfriend joins the group. However, it does have the immortal "Fly by night, Mountain Deeeewwww..." Great stuff.

OK, so I found a place where you can hear the full seven minute version of the sequel, as well as info on the Dead Alewives and it's former members. Click here, then scroll down to the bottom, where you will find links for both the original, the sequel, the 8 bit and Summoner Geeks versions. I crack up every time I hear "Does anyone have another quarter? 'Cause otherwise I gotta get funnions..." Enjoy.
