Ok, we’re taking this thing in a whole new direction... ok so take three.. no.. five steps out your front door, look behind you and laugh a ton (a ton being an immesurable value, so use your best judgement kids), keep walking straight even if there is a house in front of you. After you feel like you’ve walked enough, take a leap to the left and count the number of snowflakes you think it would take to fill up a glass hearing aid. Once you’re done that, find the right star of Orion’s belt in the sky (no cheating.) From there head west (or east if you’ve decided to walk this whole thing backwards) and cross the river. Once on the other side wait until exactly 3:25:48 PM and take a picture, once you have that picture, you’ll understand where we get our infuences from.
Furthermore, we still like ska.. if it’s alright with you.. and ever if it isn’t.. moreso if it isn’t...
