Lewis and Clark--a Free Comedy Skit

Explore the comic possibilities of two of history's most famous explorers. Here is an excerpt:

Lewis: I just hope we don't run into any unfriendly Indians tonight.

Lewis: Good thinking! Where are they?

Clark: I laid them down, and now I can't find them.

Lewis: Okay, forget that. Let's just build a fire. Rub those 2 sticks together until you get a spark.

Lewis: Would it go faster if I helped you?

Brisco County, Jr. & the History of The Orb

The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. introduced us to The Orb, a mysterious spherical object with uncanny powers.
