The late eighties saw the emergence of a young actor whose star burned perhaps a little too brightly. In 1987 David Faustino was cast as Bud, the younger of the two Bundy children, in the ground breaking sitcom ‘Married with Children’. David would go on to play Bud from its debut until its final episode in 1997.
A master in the arts of both acting and rapping, David had the world at his feet, and for a while it seemed the world couldn’t get enough of David Faustino, or Lil’ D to those who knew him best. However, when ‘Married with Children’ came to its end, David disappeared just as quickly as he had arrived. While his co-stars went on to bigger and better things (who could forget Christina Applegate’s Oscar winning turn as Brittany in ‘Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel’) David’s career stalled.
Maybe people were just too intimidated by his ferocious intensity, maybe he was too short, maybe the world wasn’t ready to hear the honest truth so eloquently expressed in his jams, or maybe it was just his obvious lack of talent. Today David is but a passing memory, a memory I hope to keep alive with this tribute to him.

Like a mighty phoenix rising from the ashes, David Faustino lives again! The first placement came of second best after having an altercation with a car. The cache has now moved away from the road. The picture puzzle and Evince check have been updated to reflect the slightly changed coordinates.
