Most people get their corn from the ground but here on the NAP you can get your corn from the internet.(a couple of you anyway. Not much to go around. Most of the plants produced but some of those ears look like shriveled gnomes) My apologies to Mr. Scuse but I felt it important [...] The Satyricon is a Portland punk rock landmark. It’s supposedly where Kurt and Courtney first met, on a night when Nirvana opened a show for the Dharma Bums.

We should make a video for this song. I know, totally, right? But, check it out–we should make it all Bollywood, ’cause that shit is weird. You know, how they always break out into song and they have those, like, [...] There’s the Blue Öyster Cult symbol, a combination of a cross and a question mark, painted large behind the twin bed were a crucifix once hung.
