Damn You Emu

Red Green opens by stating that there's a "great big chicken on the loose. Four feet tall and very, very vicious." Actually, it's not a chicken. It's an emu, which appears to be generated by computer graphics. In a typically harebrained scheme to make money, Dalton's getting into the emu business. He lassos in Red Green too, telling him that they'd be "making money in three months." However, the emus aren't exactly the friendliest of creatures. Later, when Dalton recommends getting more emus, Red gripes, "More emus! You know, only a married person would have an appetite for that kind of abuse, Dalton." Dalton counters, "You won't regret it. It's a great opportunity." As one of the emus starts pecking at the window, Red quips, "I think I hear opportunity knocking at the window there Dalton." Eventually they decide to dump the emus. But how? Red has the perfect idea--- they'll give them to the eccentric Ranger Gord! The prize for the "Possum Lodge Word Game" is a "gift certificate to Big Al's Podiatry Clinic." The player is Edgar, and the word is fuse. Red details how to provide a remote defrosting system for your vehicle using an electric drill, a tire iron, and a broom. "I can show you how it all works, but I'm sure you've already figured it out." In his "I'm Pullin' For Ya'" segment, Red explains why guys don't like to ask for help. It's all about payback work. If you try to get one of your friends to help you with one of your projects, they're going to want payback work. And why do you want to do that when you should be enjoying the fruits of your project. If you can't fix it yourself, then hire a professional. "It's better to pay in cash, once than pay in payback work for the rest of your life. Remember, I'm pullin' for ya'. We're all in this together. Ranger Gord's weekly film is titled "Before the Fire." In this episode, "Ranger Gord of the Future" travels back in time to prevent a devastating forest fire. Along the way, he picks up "Ranger Gord of the Present," as well Red Green and Harold. Back in the past, lightning strikes Harold and Red, setting them on fire. What is now a trio of Ranger Gords stomp them to ashes, 'preventing' the fire. They all take off in the time machine, which sets the forest on fire. The 'Up Close and Personal' segment features Mike Hampton. He had a 'typical childhood.' He had anywhere from '3 to 7 Dads', depending on bail money. When asked to give his advice on life for the kids, he explains, "It's not that bad. They call it life, but really it's only 25 years."
