THE DR. PHILBILLY SHOW – The Kung-Fu Armadillo
Ok…one night I heard the dogs going nuts in the front yard about 2am. I get up, stagger half asleep to the kitchen and grab my weapon of choice, a broom. As I go investigate I peek a look out the window and don‘t see a thing, so I creep open the door and poke out my head for a peek… nothing. As I slowly survey the perimeter of my yard there it is, something moves in the bushes. I poke it with my weapon and the bush moves violently.
Dannnng! What the heck?
All of a sudden the biggest armadillo I have ever seen charges me. This dang thing must have weighed 35 lbs and had bionic armor. I freak out and start running around in my front yard with nothing on but my Tweety Bird boxer briefs and swinging the broom behind me. I’m screaming like a 12 year old little girl. It finally chases me up to my front porch banister and I’m perched there like a rooster with my broom ready for hand to hand combat. I swing at my enemy and it jumps straight up about eye level with me doing the coolest 360 degree karate kick I‘ve ever seen. This is a Kung-Fu armadillo!
Ok then, let’s get it on Mr. Armadillo. I twirl my broom like a half naked redneck ninja and somehow manage to wack myself in the face. Craaaaap! I fall off the banister and land square on my back, the armadillo lands right beside me. We must have scared each other half to death cause he went one way and I went the other. Melissa shows up at the door in a panic wanting to know what’s going on. Of course I say it was nothing and we go back to bed. The next day we walk out of the house and it looked like I had planted a hay field in the yard. Broom straw was everywhere.
Until we meet again armadillo, until we meet again…

















Wayne, this is my favorite one so far… if only we had been able to capture this on video!
I bet Chuck Norris never wore tweety boxers…lol
CHUCK NORRIS COULD WEAR TWITTY BIRD BOXERS. HE JUST KEEPS HIS PANTS ON WHEN HE GOES OUTSIDE…..THATS FUNNY!!! REALLY, I WOULD PUT MONEYON IT CHUCK WEARS WHITEY TIGHTYS…
Steapnie, thats my favorite drawers, lol. But I don’t think Chuck could have handled this monster. He was bad to the bone.

Neighbors? What are neighbors? There is no such a thing where he lives! Besides, If the cops were ever called they would never find his house!
I have neighbors…melissa may be kin to all of them but they are still neighbors. Besides, they are the inspiration for alot of stories, lol. Gotta love the Lee’s, lol.

Wayne, it is so good and relieving to have something published to make us laugh. There is way too much out there published to bring us down and you are truly a bright light in a dark world! BTW it’s a good thing armadillos are blind or you would have really been in trouble!!!
