About
David van Wert was a member of The Flying Dutchmen, a famed family of trapeze artists, until a tragic accident left him an orphan and earned him the colorful nickname "Butterfingers." He ran away from the circus shortly thereafter.
In 1999 he was seriously injured by a faulty roulette wheel at a casino. The massive transfusions he received at White Feather Medical Center saved his life, and David has been a full-blooded Cherokee ever since.

If I Were a Mother
If I were a Mother, I'd be a bad mother.
I don't mean a bad mother like Joan "No more wire hangers!!!!" Crawford.
I mean a bad mother like Shaft. "Shaft! He's a baaaad motha- shut yo' mouth!"

If I Had A Hammer
If I had a hammer, I would certainly not hammer in the morning.
For a couple of reasons:
A) I like to sleep late and would not want to get up early to hammer stuff.
B) I've had the misfortune to live next to a couple of construction sites in my life, so I know …

"We all admire the spangled acrobat with classical grace meticulously walking his tight rope in the talcum light; but how much rarer art there is in the sagging rope expert wearing scarecrow clothes and impersonating a grotesque drunk! I should know."
Thank you for your friendship! Musical greetings from Munich/Germany!

Actually, it probably would be fun... but the bear suits were for "Bear City" on SNL, and the pranks on golfers (without bear suits) were for a silly video for National Lampoon. Frankly, bear suits would have almost certainly made the National Lampoon video better.
