OMG --MY POLICY DIFFERS IN THAT I DON'T SEE THE BEARD AS HURTING THE MUSTACHE - ONLY A DIFFERENT SHADE FROM GOD'S HAIRY TOOL PALLETTE. love it

[Love Dogg]

Q: John Leckie produced Z as well as ........Two questions: Did he ever smack you in the butt and say, "Good job Tiger!"........

A: I THINK IT WOULD BE HARD TO SMACK SOMEONE INSIDE OF THEIR BUTT, BUT HE NEVER TRIED..........
;D

"I DON'T REALLY CARE WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF ABOUT OUR MUSIC. THE THING I REALLY WANT THEM TO REMEMBER IS THAT WE WERE HAIRY. THAT'S WHY WE STARTED THIS GANGSTA' SHIT IN THE FIRST PLACE."

;D

This is the greatest interview by anyone, for anyone, ever.  Period.

I am particularly fond of this exchange......

Q: AMI puts on the greatest event known to mankind, 'Stache Bash, in St. Louis each year. Even though your manager has already turned us down – why don't you override him on this one. As an act of kindness in that you'd be supporting a baseball league for handicapped children (Challenger Baseball), why don't you come headline the show this year on Oct. 25? We promise to buy you breakfast at Denny's. The Grand Slam baby! We promise.

A: DOES IT HAVE TO BE ON OCTOBER 25TH? WE LEAVE FOR LONDON THAT DAY! DOH! I WOULD LOVE TO PLAY YOUR 'STACHE BASH, BUT I ALREADY GOT THEM PLANS. DO YOU DO TWO 'STACHE BASHES IN A YEAR EVER? KINDA LIKE THE "SEMI-ANNUAL LINCOLNS BIRTHDAY SALE?" LET'S MAKE THIS HAPPEN SOMETIME.

I am a little confused however.  How are the boys going to be in London and performing the Fall Southern/Midwest leg of their tour at the same time?

This interview is quote gold!
"ALL THINGS, WHETHER IT BE A PLANT, OR A ROCK, OR A BEAR, OR DAVE NAVARO, HAVE THE SAME POTENTIAL."

Hey BH, you are aware that October is the 10th month? ;) Sorry, just had to give you some shite. Looks like the fall leg is over on October 10th.

I'm talking about the fall part of the tour that hasn't been anounced yet.  You know the one, that is going to St. Louis, Memphis, etc.... ;)

That's Allstate's stand.  Are you in good hands?

[vespachick]

"A GUY NAMED JOHN CALLAHAN FROM PORTLAND, OREGON. HIS ALBUM IS AWESOME."

Wow, this John Callahan guy is my neighbor.  I didn't know he did music - he is a noted cartoonist as well as one nutty (but cool) dude.  It only took a year before I could get him say hello to me (he's a bit of an eccentric)!! His cat is psycho - but she's a calico so it's expected. ;)

Hey Crispy,
Do yourself a favor and go check out the Avett Brothers on 9/10 at Cain's Ballroom.  You can thank me later. :o

Will do - and I'll thank you now!

Oddly enough, everytime I see those commericals I have to look for schematics and vents/duck work to crawl through to save the day.

[easy way]

HA!!! Kermit the frog as a delicious dinner as well as an american hero...good stuff.  ;D

[freeport]
