I jumped up to my feet and hollered, "Blow! Ha! Ha! Blow, wind! Blow!
I'm a Cyclome! Ha! I'm a Cyclome!"
"Are you and me still Cyclome Fighters?"
"We lost this first round, didn't we?" Papa laughed under the raincoat till cellars heard him ten blocks around. "But well make it! Just as soon's I get a little whiff of fresh air. Well make 'er here in a minute! Won't we, manure head?"
"Mama an' Grandma's better Cyclome Fighters than we are!" I laughed and snorted into the slush pool under my nose. "They done got to th' storm cellar, an' left us in a 'nure hole! Ha!"
Oh beloved Joe Tennisasaurus. You are the winner of the SEXIEST SCALES AWARD!!! The competition may not be quite what it was in the late cretaceous, but nevertheless YOU DID IT!!! Anyway, do we have a prize for you...our reseasoning (i.e. remix) of Goodie Mob's-Soul Food will make your cold blood a cozy lukewarm temperature...just the way us dinos like it.

Yo Joe Tennisasaurus. I just found out that we're related...and as a special family only present we've made a new song for you called "End of Days" (start doing backflips now). It's an epic instrumental opus to the moment when our ancient Dino relatives saw a large fiery object plummeting towards them. Please come to our page, give it a listen and let us know if it makes you feel like something catastrophic is gonna happen. If the song upsets you too much we will be holding a support group (read: comcert) this Friday @111 Minna in San Francisco. Doors open at 10:00. Please come, we promise it'll be a (non-meteor-related) blast.
Hey Joe - - Happy Monday! :) Thanks for adding me, always glad for some extra support!! x Hope you had a great weekend and keep up the MySpace lovin!! Peace from the West of Australia // Morgan xx

What’s Crackin’ Joe Tennis ? We’re hitting back our myspace folks to let you know that your prayers have been answered. What prayers, you may ask. Well, today my friends, the good reptiles over at Bossasaurus (namely the ones writing this message) have teamed up with Murs (Living Legends, Def Jux, 9th Wonder, etc.) to, for the first time ever, offer you a taste of our music with an emcee over them. If you hate emcees and were feeling the tranquility of our un-defiled instrumental works than we sincerely apologize for our critical error in judgment. Otherwise come on over and check out our Murs feat. James Blunt 'Everything' remix.
What's Good Joe Tennis ? You are recieving this because you left Bossasaurus a comment in the last 4 months saying something nice(we are working on getting back to people on an individual basis...sorry this isn't it).
