Clock & Wolf's CBG Sci-Fi Drive-In

THE BIG STRUMDOWN

(this link used to make sense, but some sneaky person changed some names, thus making me look like a raving lunatic...)

The ground rises up and smacks John "Uncle" Johnson clean in the face and he hurts and the dirt in his nose hurts and he keeps on…

RANDOM MUSINGS OF A DISORDERED CONSCIOUSNESS

   So I was listening to Olds Sleeper's Born To Lose while eating my lunch, half watching
