   About The Spitshine Kid
i've worked my way up from anonymity to being completely unknown in less than three and a half years due to perseverance and true grit. i have no genre. whether it's alternative, folk, 70's rock, tape-music or funk, the Spitshine Kid looks equally as fetching in a tartan skirt as he does in leisure slacks. He also looks good in a coffin according to Deceased Magazine

Sassy posted a bulletin. I was cracking up. Maybe you laughed hard enough for the yeti to throw you up.

Maybe it's because being in the Yeti's stomach reminded you of being in your mother's womb.....ewww.
