Commie Francis (host) 3:47:03 PM
omg tell it to me
Mary Jones 3:47:15 PM
Awesome, thanks for that link!
Jon "pledge.wprb.com" Solomon 3:47:21 PM
Let me try and make it as brief as possible.
Jon "pledge.wprb.com" Solomon 3:48:03 PM
Basically Tim was playing with Aus Rotten at some sort of house / squat where one of the attendees had fallen asleep before they went on so someone wrote "I missed Aus-Rotten" on this slumbering person'f face in marker.
Jon "pledge.wprb.com" Solomon 3:48:35 PM
"I missed Aus-Rotten" was a popular expression in this household for long after we first heard this story.
Commie Francis (host) 3:50:07 PM
