This whole mess got started one day when Mark overheard his younger brother singing along to the radio. The unsuspecting sibling was wearing headphones and was unaware that he had Mark in hysterics because his singing was so off-key. This minor incident led to the birth of The Withering Tralburys as Mark and Ray decided to engage in a game of one-upsmanship with Patrick Calnan, each side striving to outdo the other in producing silly or stupid material.
Needless to say, the Tralburys won. By a landslide.
