"LAZOR", or "BIGG NIFE", or something like "TARANCHULA" or maybe like "LIMOZEEN". You know, these are all great names, and you know, go ahead and take them. I'm not going to charge you or nothing. Just, uh, put me on the guest list plus one for that show huh? I'll probably take Pom-Pom. ''{stops typing}'' You know, ''{resumes typing}'' He's been pretty cool lately. ''{stops typing}'' Okay, so tune in next week, when my guests will be Lemmy from Motörhead and the guys from Krokus! |
