Friendly Reminders

It's never too late to call Vickie at The Hawthorne Suites in Champaign and purchase a "package" (I just love that) for Friday night's big shoe.

The discerning eye will squint and locate New Wave Dave AKA Diamond Dave AKA Bjorn Borg AKA Koko's Ghost AKA Cheerleader Guy AKA Rico Tubbs et cetera.

And this is Mr. Kendells smartly disguised as Lynndi Lauper in her Jam Master Jay costume.

I know we've said this before, but it bears repeating: it's logical to dance with a Klingon.

Double or Nothing?

I’ve searched the world over for a puzzle, a conundrum that might stump our Contest Prize Winner and her pal, The Other Contest Prize Winner, but I keep coming up short. Meanwhile, she happened to win another weekly trivia, sinking us deeper in debt. So how about a wager, putting it all on a Brat Pack trivia contest, only not with questions about the 80s or about the movie stars known as “the Brat Pack,” but with questions about this Brat Pack, a bunch of people you can’t easily google.

More Things We Saw in Space that Will Blow Your Mind!!!

We saw a zombie (I think he was a zombie - he had a pencil sticking out of his shoulder, so I just assumed.)
And we saw a zombie hunter!
We saw a mysterious outer space alien waving hi.
And then we saw Dog, Bounty Hunter, probably chasing after the mysterious space alien who was waving hi.
We saw a pimpin Dr. T (AKA Dr. Terry, man with the shots.)When we saw the Parents of the Future, we got nervous and had Scotty beam us back up.

Happy Halloween from the Space Gash!

While we were out there drifting around, we learned that space is filled with hott chix dressed as pirates and cops, the fuel of the future is popcorn, not all the guys in red shirts have to die, it's logical to dance with a Klingon, genetic engineering can be dangerous, and a little bit of crotch never hurts when you're boldly going where no man has gone before.

Here's a Scene We Carefully Reenacted this Weekend

I See Dead Rock Stars

Tommy sent this link as a friendly reminder:

Average Age at Death of Included Rock Stars (1) 36.9 Years
Average Age at Death of Americans (2) 75.8 Years

Happy Haunting!

It Appears We Are Easily Replaced

So the Brat Pack showed up at our gig. They looked and smelled and sounded better than we do, and they walked away with real cash, not that paper fun money we're so loose with. The Guido was late, as were two out of four Lynndi Laupers. The Tommy Tubular even busted a classic Tommy move, a pose we lovingly call "wtf is wrong with my amp?"

Oh, Screw It

After Friday night's Halloween Party at Jillian's, we had so many bruises, cuts, and ailments that trying to pick a winner only added to our stress and pain. Do you think our regular "Injury of the Week" feature is bringing some kind of bad mojo and should perhaps be discontinued before someone really gets it?
