"Great"

By Lady_Lancaster, Jan 16, 2011

It's a rainy weekend and Stan has delegated tasks to the family to be completed around the house, such as cleaning out the fireplace and re-caulking the bathroom but all Jason wants to do is go to Pizza Playland and he keeps on and on about it, driving everybody crazy with his constant singing of the jingle for the company.

Meanwhile, Lila's friend, Enid, (Mandy Ingber) who attended her slumber party comes around for a make-over. Douglas has never seen Enid before as he and Jason were not in attendance at the slumber party but as soon as he lays eyes on Enid, he knows he has found true love.

While Douglas is going doe-eyed over Enid, the households tasks are not going very well. Jason is making a terrible mess with the caulking gun and Stan is losing his patience. Jason feels that all would be well if they just went to Pizza Playland instead!

At the same time, Enid's make-over is proving to be quite disasterous as her hair resembles an out of control beehive and poor Charles, who is already run off his feet, is called in to help. Finally, Enid emerges looking very glamorous but Douglas is bitterly disappointed with the results because he liked the original Enid. With everything going downhill, Stan suggests that they all spend the rest of the day at - Pizza Playland!moreless
