Chat is archived.

Whooo!

whoah oh

hello!

Attache ta tuque!

hey, sister! 👋

Soundin good Commie. Tres bien

My wife had many goldfish as a kid. They were all named Flushy (get it?). Flushy 1, Flushy 2 etc

Parents instilled some good dark humor early on and lots of sarcasm.

Good evening, chat!

o m g (me, missoula sentinel high school band fundraising "talent show" lip sync band this & refrigerator heaven)

hello donutage i recognize you from mastodon!

1982 or 3?

your username always reminds me of donut friends/fiends out of kent oh

haha wow jrlp

Yup, that's-a me! Love the Johnny Sokko header!

did you raise a lot of $

we preceeded another outfit syncing our lips are sealed so the damage was mitigated to a degree

archy & mehitabel!

Sentinel High also home to KONA radio club, "broadcasting" live daily to the captive audience in the lunchroom enraging jocks and triggering admin guidance meetings but that's another story!

commie - is one of your cats named PERCY ??

o you just said that now - I had a cat named PERCY AND!!! we had a DOG named WALTER ..

WHAT!!!

YES!!

what are the odds? was it kinks related?

we ALOS had a can [when we lived in pton - named Gandhi .. he was siamese .. when we moved out to hopewell - Gandhi walked back to Pton 2 times !! it was his HOOD .. he just roamed the pace so our neighbors looked out for him there + thats where he remained .

my favorite pet name was for a cat we had .. we named her 'TEN TON' - because she was quite LARGE.

i love what people [kids] name their pets .. ..

i haven't had a pet with a music related name in years now, but 20 years ago my 3 dogs were Lemmy, Ozzy & Thurston.

i wish i could see pics of them !!

and we had a dog named Perry until a couple of years ago. he was secretly named for the butthole surfers song

in one of the mario brotherses all the minibosses are named after musicians. lemmy, iggy, i forget the other one

the weird dog in my profile pic is Boba (named after the beverage, not the star wars dude)

👍 YEAG PETS!!

YEAH

i like/d the shows you did and your Cat [I think it was Percy] was on your equipment and Percy must be big 'cause your sort of had to OOMFPH while lifting off .. ..

he's actually not that big but he comes behind the monitor and threatens to step on the mixing board and i kind of have to pull him out of there with one hand

here ya go a https://c.im/@uneasylistening/115992861272574532

Cats are assassins, trained by god.

Percy is a GINGER!!!

3 of my 4 cats are, i didn't plan it that way

+ WALTER is sooooooooooooo cute !!! handsome fella .. distinguished

ok all pets now posted

whole crew lookin good

I think I'm in love with Walter!

I certainly am!

I've read Don Marquis' "Archy and Mehitabel" because of the George Herriman connection. I never knew there was a musical version.

it's ok! it's like 2/3 of an lp long. then it randomly has carnival of the animals to fill up the rest.

This is cool.

it has carol channing as mehitabel. and yes roffle it's cool as hell!

This also is cool. :)

i need to get more transistor sister IDs i just realized!

this is amazing

hello gang! i had to run over here and acknowledge that this dank goblins is fantastic!

hell yeah! hi colin!

i've never heard attitude adjustment before.. interesting 🤔

i want more hope? in my life. another one i've never heard. yay wprb!

goodnite to Percy + Walter + TNXX Commie - - -

nite to my pet twin

JWFO! jesus would funk out

✌👍

Thx Commie, be warm, stay safe.

eyes out for The Percy Walters EP #1 whenever it may be, thanks Commie Francis!
