Top Ten Pieces of the Austerity Program: You may need to be over 40 to get the joke!

10. Steve Austerity, The $6 Man--made from non-bionic spare parts

9. Fred Austere--now you know why he was dancing with cleaning tools and climbing streetlamps: those were his second and third jobs

8. Jane Austerity--Victorian Cliff's Notes

7. Austerity City Limits--Guys sitting around playing their knees with spoons

6. Austerity Powers--one word, "Coppermember"

5. Austerizer Hand Mixer--Oster's budget line of kitchen gadgets: a pair of gloves and a bowl

4. Austere Cook--fat dude in a bean bag chair, chewing tobacco while introducing British B-movies

3. Aus' Cartwright--only wears a 5-gallon hat

2. Austelot--wild cat with no spots

1. The Wizard of Aus--after following the "Yellow Snow Road" one rough winter, none of Dorothy's friends get the operations they need, they are forced to eat Toto over a hobo campfire, and Dotty never catches the bus back to Kansas (also, the Wizard loses his hidey spot when he makes the gut-wretching decision to burn his beautifully-upholstered drapes to heat his crumbling abode)
