This is a rough list of movies that we have done since 1992. There may have been
more but I really can't remember that well. Some crossed the thin line between being a movie and 'just something
we did'. There were countless commercials and skits which I tried to lump together in the time frame they were done.
1992-1995: Danny on the Moon: This was a series that I did in my room. We had fake commercials, skits,
and stuff. The bulk of the episodes ran from 1992-1993, but a few more surfaced in later years.

1992-1993: Honey, I'm Home: These were small skits in semi-association with Danny on the Moon.
They involved a wife coming home and the husband either killing her or himself as the occasion presented itself.
It was weird, don't ask.

finds a copperhead snake, and throws it on the monster and it dies.

1996-1997 The Stupid Karate Kid 3: Yes the excitement continues in the third installment of the trilogy.
The stupid karate kid finds himself in an insane asylum. But the ancient chinese master gives him a note to escape.
He does and meets the master outside, because the master works there. The stupid karate kid is immediately put to
fight the evil guy. He wins and then is hired to steal some documents. This was 'for the money'. Then he is attacked
by the spice boys, and then the silver-alien-looking-evil-guy. He is forced to play with dolls as part of the 100
levels of torcher. But he is rescued. Then there are rumours of an evil news caster and the stupid karate kid
is befriended by a rat who later is shot by the evil news caster. But is okay later and everything is fine.
Then there was some unrelated lamb-cha sock puppet thing which I'm not sure if we really wanted it to be in the
movie or if we were just really bored.

But here she reinacts everyone's favorite Christmas story: A Christmas Carol. Bob Cratchet is working for next
to nothing, and doesn't get any coal for the fire. He has to prick his finger for blood so he can write, and he
is not allowed to go to the GAP. At home, his daughter is going to die, so she must finish her dusting quickly.
Then at night auntie Helga comes home and is greeted by carolers singing Du Hast, and she headbangs to it. Then she
goes to sleep, only to wake up later by Marley because he is playing Grand Theft Auto. Marley leaves and comes back
and warns her about three ghosts who will visit during the night. The first ghost comes and is only a head. He
shows her the past. Then the ghost of the present comes and is huge. He shows her Bob Cratchet holding his
daughter's skull on a stick pretending she is alive. Then the Scream guy comes and tries to kill her, but she
thinks he is the ghost of the future, so she leaves to see what the future will hold. The real ghost of the
future comes and is confused why she isn't there. He meets up with the Scream guy and gets stabbed. Auntie Helga
never leanrs her lesson and feed scraps from the largest turkey to Bob Cratchet who has to beg for them under
the table.
