Halloween show! Masked Wrestlers! Midgets!









Okay

It’s scary out there isn’t it – like more than just a little scary – like ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! Scary.

So what to do?

Well Halloween is coming – and so are we – The Bob Muir & the Enemy Below’s Halloween show! 8:30 ! Friday 10/31 – whatever else you are doing come see us first!
Watch us make with the funny like really funny! And just weird too.

Going to be playing at the OS Art House at the John Street Bar and Grill – 17 John Street between Broadway and Nassau - more details later but we will give away candy and I plan to do something very very stupid that I probably will regret to the day I die especially if my niece comes to see the show as she threatens from time to time. Or if someone films it and puts it on u-tube and well let’s not go there.

Anyway sorry that the blogging has been light – work’s be intense and well by the time I get home I’m usually just wanting to see if I can get my dwarf warrior up a level or two on the great time suck Know of World of Warcraft – get it today and you too will have no life.

But I did manage to sneak in a lucha librie movie the other day – the title translates as the Champions of Justice and features the Blue Demon, Mil Mascars and several others – along with the usual surreal pleasure of watching the wrestlers go about their day to day actions in sport coats and suits with the masks on it had more than it’s share of just plan goofiness.

For example, the evil scientist whose sinister plot was to freeze pretty women – and not much else – used midget henchmen. Not just midget henchmen he dressed them up in red suits with masks – now to be honest if city of heros/villans – the other time suck I play – ever allowed the masterminds to pick what their henchmen looked like I’m making mine red suited masked midgets in heartbeat.

However in a practical sense masked midgets really aren’t your best choice for the muscle you need – even with the added strength your super science gave them since it also seemed to make them flammable and really no matter how strong a midget is, you can pick him up and toss it pretty far as the film showed.

There was also a scheme right out of the playbook of Doctor Evil – the Fem Fatale asks two of the wrestlers to take her water skiing – they agree not knowing that she has planted a bomb in the boat which will explode after, well a lot of water skiing shots – this film does believe in padding - so as the time comes close she drops the rope and begins to swim to shore – the wrestlers their suspicions aroused by this and by the loud ticking in the boat, ditch the boat just in time to avoid getting killed.

But are they safe? No! They are attacked by frogman.

It’s got to be one of the most bizarre examples of a plan B I can think of

“Okay you wait under water and if the bomb doesn’t kill them you do it.”

“Sir it’s a big lake – what are the odds that the boats going to be anywhere near us when the bomb goes off?”

“Do what you’re told – and they wonder why I prefer midgets?”

Anyway more details of the show as things are settled. You have to come to this you will laugh a lot and you will see me die of shame.

Peace, Love Red Suited Midgets.
