The Jamphibious Assault Vehicle did my taxes and invaded Syria. It is AMAZING.

Speaking of slacks, will Justin ever give Bobby back his pants?

Nice show the other night! I would have stayed to watch you guys, but I got distracted when the Jamphibious Assault Vehicle showed up and started handing out $100 bills.

Wow, those Super Desserts dudes are real douches!

Thanks for the cynical note you unimaginative piece of monkey caca! Some people “get it” and some people burn the cookies in the oven because they were staring at themselves in the mirror too long and forgot to take them out. I think we all know which category you would fall under.

Matt - Wait a minute...are you making fun of harmonicas?! Sigh. I can remember when you loved harmonicas, almost as much as you loved puppets. I can still recall all those long ago hot and sticky summer nights that we spent, lying on hay bales, drinking warm Tab and playing our harmonicas in the moonlight, learning Cracklin Rosie and what was that other Neil Diamond song, your favorite...? Oh yeah, I Am, I Said. Not such a great tune for the harmonica, but damn, you were so passionate, you made it work. What happened to those days, my friend... ...what happened to you?

we only tend to play the purity ceremonies for young men, where they take a promise ring from their moms to stay virgins until marriage. it's like the purity ceremonies for girls, you just reverse the gender, see? some people find it confusing...but i know i am my dad's wife.

Two frequencies: 102.1 in the Northeast corner of the county, and 98.3 in campus, Grandview, Clintonville, etc. Check it out.
