Crazy Credits In the edited-for-TV version, Lardass Hogan's name is shortened to Lard for obvious reasons. Yet even in the edited-for-TV version, the name "Lardass" is seen in the credits. The edited-for-TV version also contains a post-credits disclaimer: "WILLFUL DAMAGE TO MAILBOXES IS A FEDERAL CRIME". See more »
