How time flies...The Grassy Best are about to embark on a 6th season of WAKA Kickball! It seems like just yesterday that we were newbies to the Hollywood league, commenting on how freakish all the people who played kickball for multiple seasons were. Well my friends, welcome to freakhood. Take a good look around; you are now a Grassy for life.
*Grassy Fun Fact:
Aside from PBR, our official team drink was briefly a mixture called The Grassy Beast (1 part Midori; 2 parts Milwuakee's Best). Now our official drink is Gardner Linn's invention; Maker's Mark and Gingerale AKA: The Constant Gardner®
*Grassy Fun Fact 2:
Our team colors are now Green and White though Yellow is still welcome to hang out.
*Grassy Fun Fact 3:
The Grassy Best organization was started when captains Meanwald and A-Train met at the office and not, contrary to popular belief, when two lightning bolts collided. There is also no truth to the rumor that The Grassy Best are a spin-off of the Los Angeles Free Masons.
*Grassy Fun Fact 4:
The naming of The Grassy Best comes from Jenny "Jennirog" McCormick's bad eyesight. While watching Blazing Saddles, Jennyfrog misread the words "Count Basie" for "The Grassy Best". Her lack of vision has been our gain by providing us with one of Kickball's most elite monikers.
hey grassies!!! just a reminder, we're having a party this sat. at our house..... drop by!!! call/email if you need deets! kisses to you all. i miss you already.
What up suckas? Head on over to the Beast's page to hear the new single "What U Stoppin' 4?" from the forthcoming Im In Ur Ipod Jakkin Ur Traxx mixtape. We went all out on this one: DJ Two-Handed Engine flips a Pixies sample into an ass-melting 140-bpm beat, Connie G crushes it John Moschitta Jr.-style with some omega-level speed rapping, and it takes a detour through Black Sabbath territory before ending in a full-on death-disco freakout. (Ballz Deep slept late and didn't show up at the studio, which is probably for the best.) Not a lot of kickball-related content in this one, but there is a Kelsey Grammer guest appearance. Check it out--if you dare!
hey grassies!!! i need a favor!!! one of our roommates is moving on the next level of adulthood, (a 1 bedroom) and we need another chicky to fill her spot in the glen green house!! i'd prefer to find someone through a friend, so if you guys know anybody who's looking to move into a house of awesomeness, let me know!!!! thanks!!!
The Grassy Beast is almost ready to drop its debut album Slouching Towards Poinsettia and change the world of kickball and zombie-related hip hop forever. While we're putting the finishing touches on this masterwork, you can check out some new songs over at our myspace page:
"Rise of the Ruiner/Brocktoon Unleashed" - A completely remixed and expanded version of the Ruiner anthem you may have already come to know and tolerate. (Yes, we know Aaron doesn't like to be called Ruiner anymore, but we're not letting that Simpsons sample go to waste.) Featuring AJ Soprano, Principal Skinner, Darth Vader, Phil Hartman, Kurt Cobain and Leon Redbone.
"So Much Things (What I Got)" - Zombies may have destroyed the world, leaving only The Grassy Best to fight for the rights of real humans, but somebody's still gonna make some money. And that somebody is me.
