The Bilge Pumps return again to the stage that they (along with the rest of the '04 stunt show) built, looking for their booty.
|
The Bilge Pumps' groins go a little haywire during "The Gun Shanty".
|
Harvey and John Crow sit on the thrones of the royalty. Between these two old geesers, none of the rest of us ever get any throne time.
|
It's kids day again at ORF and that means there are only 4 Bilge Pumps and our audience is composed of Tahlequah drama kids!
|
Galleon goes pee pee on Harvey's pants. Shame it's not his Kwanzaa pants, since no one would notice.
|
Sharkbait gets surprised when Maroon springs a rarely played song on him and he has to break out his cheat sheets.
|
Maroon prepares to vibrate Galleon off the docks with his didjeridu.
|
Between Harvey and Monkey, the amount of pumpettes per show seems to grow and grow.
|
John Crow the Cook keeps a tight lip during Phil's singing. Makes you wonder what he's thinking.
|
These kids really know how to get low and limbo. 'Course it has nothing to do with their ability to bend backwards, they're just short.
|
The crowd gathers in awe (or was it awwwww?) to watch the Bilge Pumps strut their stuff.
|
Harvey gets all rubby-dubby on Galleon, who's forced to stand there and take it like a man.
|
The funk that radiates from this pirate band never ceases to amaze you. It's not always the smell I'm talking about, either.
|
Galleon was almost ready to take a dive in the water 'til he remembered it was full of snakes, dead cats, various toxins, and 3 years of jouster pee.
|
You can tell we built the Harbor Stage strong, because it's the only stage we performed "Johnny Jump Up" on this year we didn't break
|
Phil and Sharkbait pace around the stage trying to come up with a rhyme to wierd Oklahoma city names on "Donkey Riding".
|
Maroon welcomes the Galleon water fountain on the hot stage at Muskogee. It's either that or go into the water around the dock. (shudder)
|
John Crow takes advantage of Phil and Sharkbait's fragile state as choir boys.
|
She had a pen knife... three foot long!
|
Either the dock has just pitched to starboard or Galleon and Phil have turned into zombies and are about to eat Maroon.
|
Maroon tries to coax Galleon out of the shade where he hides from the sun like a little girl.
|
I hereby swear that I never saw that choir boy before and I don't know how that stain got there.
|
Maroon and Natty take a moment and watch the Barely Balanced show.
|
With Maroon gone the last 4 days of the festival, the guys were forced to go on without him. Looks like they managed to dig deep within themselves and survive.
