Recap by Fire Eater Wizard

Rochester's Abhor joined us for a bit this week. Strongly recommend these guys, especially if you have a liking for progressive death metal. You can find them right here on Facebook, so check 'em out!



The Demon Azkath joined us once again, as Jeffie is supposedly still training his alligator to battle Joe. I'm guessing it's going to be awhile before he's ready to bring this critter to the show. As a matter of fact, I'm betting we will probably see him before he's ready to do so, since he's apparently raising this thing from a baby.

Makes you wonder how long it had been out of the egg when he found it.

Azkath DID have company this week, however, as Eric Rodriguez from Ire Clad accompanied him. Eric promptly challenged everybody on the show to arm wrestling matches, and of course we complied. Josh and I fell in quick succession, but Rick was able to hold his own for a fair chunk of time. Imagine Eric's surprise when Joe stepped up and, after some very touch and go moments, got the win! Eric is now awaiting his rematch, which may or may not ever happen.

Lessee...

I'd surprised Joe earlier in the evening by singing the chorus to an old Accept song after hearing only two or three notes of it, and this prompted Azkath to suggest we do something similar to Name That Tune, only using a selection of metal songs. I immediately jumped at the challenge. Honestly, I've just got an ear for that sort of thing, it's surprised people on a number of occasions over the years. So, bring it on, O Demon!

Further discussion about this whole Bouncy House Cake Battle thing degenerated further as somebody, (Eric I believe) suggested that Dave and I do a car wash instead. Yup, Dave and I, in our man-kini's, getting all wet and soapy.

As I recall, it was suggested that it be called "Chunkendales"...

Bunch of stuff going on next week, as we prepare to celebrate potentially up to four birthdays. Yep, Josh and Lance recently celebrated theirs, Rick's is on Saturday, and Eric's is coming up shortly as well. Apparently there will even be a pentagram cake, which is more than appropriate on a number of levels, considering it's also the holiday season!

On top of that, we'll have some girls from the recently formed Finger Lakes Lunachicks Roller Derby team, so I'm thinking that should be pretty darned cool, as well. Personally, I was glad to hear that we finally have a team to represent this particular region! Azkath also claims to have an "earthshaking announcement" to make on my behalf. Can't imagine what it's going to be, although, once again, I'm apparently supposed to know full well what it's all about.I assure you all, I am just as clueless about this as I was about the whole ridiculous "Pantsless Santa" dance thing that WON'T be happening on our End Of The World show in just over two weeks.

Recap by The Metal Wulf;
So, here I sit, contemplating the daunting task of writing a recap for an edition of The Metallic Onslaught that I wasn't even present for.  An earlier than normal work shift made me think that it may have been a good idea to hang back for a night.
Still, I tuned in to listen, at the same time leaving my own two cents here and there on the Onslaught Facebook page, which I've been known to do on nights like that.
I'd honestly had visions of going to bed at around midnight or so, thinking I'd get plenty of sleep, but the truth is, I just didn't feel tired. So I listened some more.
12:30: Not tired
1:00 Not tired
1:30 Not tired
Sincerely, I ended up listening right up until the last talk break, not beginning to feel even remotely sleepy until roughly 1:50.
Oh well...

So, having listened throughout the evening, I was able to garner enough info to do my usual recap.

Ahem...

Roc City Roller Derby members Izzy Normous and Cuss Muffin were on hand to promote this Saturday's bout at the Dome Arena, this one entitled Babes Of The Brawl. Rick, Josh, and myself will actually be in attendance for this one. I'm releived, too, because I was starting to think I'd never make it to a derby bout this year, and that would be a damned shame!
I guess Josh will be wearing a bunny outfit to this bout. I can't honestly remember the specifics of WHY he'll be in a bunny outfit, but hey, who am I to judge? In fact, this will work out just great, because I'll be breaking out the ol' WarWulf persona. That's right, don't panic, there are going to be both a wolf AND a bunny in the suicide seats this time!
I'm thinking this is going to be insanely fun, and then some. Oh, for the record, Josh will be referred to as Floppy.
Yes, that's right, Floppy Nolin. Personally, I think Floppy O'Nolin would sound a little better, but that is entirely up to his discretion.
Seriously, though, just imagine WarWulf chasin' Floppy around the ol' Dome Arena...

There was some mention of Cuss Muffin having monkeys on her head in some of her photos. Hey, Cuss gets around, and if she's in parts of the world where monkeys can climb on you, well, hey, there's WORSE things!
Like, how about parts of the world where tarantulas eat cockroaches while perched on top of your toothbrush?
Cuss has had that happen as well...
Ick...
So, something was mentioned about somehow having monkeys brought onto the Metallic Onslaught. Personally, I think this could be fun, as long as there's no flinging of gross bodily excretions involved. Of course, it would just complement the usual assortment of poo-related humor, so...

Lowkey were also on hand, to promote the upcoming 2011 edition of Hagefest, a three-day event that takes place in Sodus, NY the weekend of August 19-21. Thirty bands in three bands, representing some of the best bands our area has to offer. I'd highly recommend going if you've nothing better to do that weekend. Always good to get out and promote the local scene. Rick will actually be there on that Saturday, and Lowkey have personally invited him to announce the bands for that day.

A disturbing topic was brought up, as something was mentioned about Jackie Stallone doing psychic readings. Based on photos of people's buttocks...
Yeah, I was pretty perplexed about this, but apparently if you send Jackie a photo of your ass, she can tell you things about yourself as related to your past and future and stuff like that.
I think she's just a strange old lady with some really twisted tastes, but that's just me...

Jeffie arrived eventually, of course, and it's probably just as well for him that I wasn't on hand this week. I've gotta have a word or two with that guy regarding some things he did to my chewing gum last week.
Seriously, this Jeffie could quite possibly lead me back to cigarette smoking. Of course, he'd probably just find a way to dose my smokes, and some of his concoctions are less than pleasant.
So, he was mentioning some things about my adventures after his Viagra/Ecstacy combination had its' way with me. Police were involved...
Squirrels were involved...
Trees...
Scratches and bite marks...
The story is still gonna have to wait a bit, though. Bill, Erica, Rick and myself will all be going to The Haunt in Ithaca to see Sorrow Of Batavia, along with  Of Wrath And Ruin, LAW (Lucifer At Work), and Neon Guillotine. Been waiting a long time to see Sorrow Of Batavia perform, and this is looking to be a kick-ass show from start to finish!
I'll be back for the show on the following week, though, and rest assured, the story will be told.

And afterward, the Malachi Crunch is going to be among the least of Jeffie's worries...

Recap by The Metal Wulf;
Not a bad night by any stretch, although we were still lacking our host. Yep, Joe was still among the missing as of Friday night, and we were all pretty afraid that I may have frightened him off for good...
Not that I hadn't attempted to search for him. Man, I busted my ass lookin' for that guy! Knocked on his door for half an hour, and when I finally realized that neither he OR his wife were answering, I decided to expand my search. Unfortunately, I lack a ready source of transportation of my own...
Hmmm...what to do...
Figuring that he hadn't killed either Bill or myself for taking his car at Christmas, I proceeded to borrow it again! Yep, I drove that convertible of his around five counties, pretty much peeking in every window and under every rock, behind every tree...
You get the idea, and of course, I had no luck...
Anyway, blame seemed to be pretty firmly leveled at me, although I'm not liking how strange things occur whenever Azkath is on the show. Strange things like gaps in my memory...
Hmmmmm...
Seriously, were things really that much worse when we had a Jeffie running around?

Anyhoo, we had guests in the studio as well, so we really couldn't dwell on our missing host for too long!
So, Cuss Muffin and Izzy Normous had both returned to the show, and they brought a new team member, L.L. Cruel J, along with them. They were kind enough to bring us up to speed with new developments, among them the beginning of a new, longer season of derby action, a new team (the Mid-Town Maulers), and, of course, promoting their season opening bout at the Dome Arena this past Saturday night.
Always a pleasure to have these ladies visit, I've gotta say. L.L. Cruel J was nice enough to share a fun little story with us about how she got to meet Lemmy from Motorhead, and even played a game of pool with him, and Cuss Muffin shared some more tales of her travels with us. Of course, after hearing her tell of a visit to Nicaragua where she found a large spider eating a cockroach on top of her toothbrush, I'm thinking I'm not minding the cold, snowy New York winters quite so much anymore...
EWWWWWWWWW!!!

The latter portion of the evening, after our derby friends departed, found me sitting by myself in the Stupid Room. Seems that nobody wanted to share the essence (or should I say ASS-ence...) of Wulfie that was wafting about.
Hey, I didn't design the radio station! Who would have thought to put the rest room just a couple of doors away from where we all sit? Really! And you'd think if folks were so worried, they'd put in some air freshener or somethin'...

Listen to the Show

Recap by The Metal Wulf; Well, I'd say the big topic of conversation for the evening was the High On Fire show that the five of us attended the previous Saturday. It was definitely a kick-ass night all around, with all three bands pretty much bludgeoning us. In a good way! I think I may have finally pushed Joe over the edge in the early portion of the show. As in during the first talk break... I'd brought up a confession I'd made on our way to the High On Fire show (mostly in jest, by the way!) I'd mentioned that I should build a shrine to Jackyl, complete with a giant golden chainsaw that could be used for sacrificial purposes. Joe didn't really seem too keen on discussing the matter too much, but I took it a step further by mentioning that I'd also added Jesse James DuPree as a friend on Facebook! Joe's response?

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!"

He seemed to have regained his composure by the next talk break, though. Good thing, too, because by then we'd had a visitor arrive from Roc City Roller Derby. Yep, it had been over a year since Shockin' Audrey's last visit, and she was kind enough to bring us up to speed on her status. She's been out of action since June, when she suffered a broken leg. Happy to say that she's up and about, now, though, and pretty much ready to hit the track again! She was also promoting the season's closing bout on November 13 at the Dome Arena in Henrietta. Proceeds from this bout will be going to the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester, and will feature a silent auction where bidders can walk away with plaster castings of...well...the breasts of some of the derby girls! That's right, these casts have been painted and decorated, and will be up for bid, and it's all for a good cause! Just think of the potential these have as far as being conversation pieces!

Jeffie was on hand once again, and he's still I-Dosing. He's also become fond of a new song, which seems to be called "(We All Love) Yelling On The Radio!", or something to that effect. Kinda fun to participate in, but I can see where there's an underlying annoyance factor... Speaking of annoying, I wasn't too thrilled by the attention that was almost given to a donut I was nibbling on at one point. Seems Jeffie thought it would make a nice subject for a game of "What's In Jeffie's Pants?", but thankfully I had broken it in half and was eating it  before he had a chance to play a special game of ring toss. EWWWWWWWWW!!!

So, next up is our Halloween show, which I'm especially looking forward to. If you remember correctly, I missed out on last year's while I was recovering from my foot surgery. But I'm on hand for this year, and I can't wait to see what kind of craziness transpires!

Listen to the Show

Recap by The Metal Wulf; We had a return visit from some of our Roc City Roller Derby friends on this edition, specifically Ja-Boodie, Izzy Normous, and Cuss Muffin, who incidentally had recently returned from Nicaragua. Yep, our Cuss is a worldly lady, and always has some cool stories to relate about her travels. They were, of course, on hand to promote last night's bout at the Dome Arena. Not sure how that went for them, but I'm sure the ladies skated their hearts out. At least those who aren't on the injured list, as part of this evening's discussion centered around the number of casualties for this season. C'mon girls, stay healthy!

Now, as those of you who listen regularly know, I'd acquired a very large plush version of Animal from The Muppet Show a few months back. Well, after Friday night, Animal is no longer in my care, and it's probably for the best. He'd taken a bit of abuse and was showing more than a little wear and tear. The new owner of Animal is none other than Cuss Muffin herself, who is a tremendous fan of The Muppets, and when she'd expressed interest in him awhile back, I'd decided that if she really wanted him, I'd hand him over the next time she paid us a visit. Let me tell ya, that was one happy Derby girl who left on Friday night! Hey, in the long run, I'd rather see Animal stay in one piece with somebody who'd be happy with him than see the poor thing get decimated during the radio show. Take care of him, Cuss!

I'd taken a bit of abuse during the evening for going to see Jackyl's free show at the State Fair last Monday. I was fully expecting to take a ribbing over it, yet was completely unrepentant for having seen them. As I've said, we all have our favorite styles when it comes to heavy music, and some of my favorite bands are just straight up hard rock. The important part is that I had a GREAT time at that show. Besides, I'll have some upcoming opportunities to redeem myself as I take in upcoming shows from the Gruesome Twosome (Alice Cooper and Rob Zombie) on their Halloween Hootenanny tour, as well as High On Fire, Overkill, and quite possibly Dimmu Borgir in Buffalo! Sooooo many good shows coming up!

One of the cooler moments of the show, for me at least, came when we played a Sister Sin song for none other than The Hardcore Legend, Mick Foley, himself! "Wow, Wulfie, how did this come about?", you may ask. Well, it's kinda like this. Two weeks ago, Joe had played a Nasty Savage song that featured an appearance from Luna Vachon, a former WWE wrestler who had recently passed away. A day or so later, I was reading Mick Foley's blog, where he'd taken some time to pay his respects to Luna and relate some of his experiences with her over the years. I'd left a comment for Mick telling him about Joe's tribute, and Mick had actually responded with some interest in the show. I'd sent him a message via MySpace to fill him in a bit, and he responded with a thank you and a request for us to play some Sister Sin, as they're his new favorite band! Seriously, how damned cool is that? Or course we had to come through on this! Don't know if Mick was actually listening, but we delivered for him, by God!

I've gotta give myself a little credit, here. As I was relating that Mick Foley story, I had to attempt to ignore some distracting behavior from Jeffie, who seemed to think I'd appreciate a back massage at that moment... Then Cuss Muffin and Billiam joined him... Talk about grace under pressure. Hey, at least my back felt better! But, yeah, this led to some aggravation with Jeffie. Yep, I'd pretty much reached my limit of tolerance, and I actually told him I was going to make a trip down to Ithaca's The Last Exit For The Lost to have a discussion with the Demon Azkath. Jeffie, of course, was undeterred and wanted to come along with me. Seems Azkath doesn't really want Jeffie around either... That's okay, though, 'cuz I DID make that trip, and I think we've got a solution to make Jeffie less annoying in the coming weeks!

It won't, however, occur on the next show. Seems that next week's edition of The Metallic Onslaught will be pre-recorded as we all attend a very cool Last Exit For The Lost-hosted show at Ithaca's The Haunt. Yep, we are ALL going there to see Vindicator, Moore, Angels Beneath Me, and a special guest band who are coming down from Canada. If you like old-school thrash metal, this show may just be up your alley! Besides, how many opportunities do those involved with BOTH radio shows have to hang out on the same night? This is gonna kick ass!

Listen to the Show

Recap by The Metal Wulf: This was a rough night for ol' Wulfie, I've gotta tell ya. And it's all Jeffie's fault...
The evening started off on a positive note, as Roc City Roller Derby's Cuss Muffin and Ja-Bootie joined us once again. They brought along a fresh face this evening, although we had to look up a bit to get a good look at her. At 6', 4" we were ALL looking up at Izzy-Normous.
Anyhoo, the ladies were on hand to promote their upcoming June 12th event at the Genesee Valley Sports Arena, and we were, as always, more than happy to oblige them. We LOVE our Derby!

Rick took some time to share some of his fun memories from hosting the Fingerlakes Metal Fest, and it sounded like he had himself a great time. Two days of great music, and not a bad band to be heard among them all! Hopefully next year, more of us will get to enjoy it!

On to the not so pleasant aspects of the evening...

I'd mentioned in last weeks' recap that Jeffie had handed over some biscuits for me to try, and the effects they had on me.
Well, guess who was under the impression that Jeffie was going to be back on the show, with more biscuits. Imagine the disbelief and disappointment when informed that Jeffie wasn't coming on the show that night...
That couldn't be! There had to be MORE BISCUITS, DAMMIT!!!!!
I imagine I must have gotten a little out of hand by that point, as I kept insisting that Jeffie was coming, and the guys kept telling me he that he wouldn't be returning for another TWO WEEKS!

THAT COULDN'T BE TRUE!!!

And so, Wulfie's night on the show spiraled downward into drastic stages of biscuit withdrawal, forcing Joe's hand. Yep, the only thing left to do was to take me to...

REHAB?!?!?!?!

Of course, I insisted that wasn't necessary. Why, I could quit any time I wanted, I'd be just fine!
But, no, in the end it was an early departure from the show. Rick must have found some of that elephant tranquilizer that Steve Papagiorgio used to use on me, 'cuz the next thing I felt was a little prick in my arm, and a warm, relaxing feeling as I drifted off to sleep...

Download The No Pants Day Song!

Recap by The Metal Wulf: Okay, it's a wrap. My very first celebration of No Pants Day on The Metallic Onslaught is officially done and over, so any feelings of unrest and overwhelming discomfort can get shelved.
Until next year, anyway...

We had quite the gathering this year, too. Karma-Lized from Roc City Roller Derby joined us with a few of the girls, specifically Ja-Boodie, Mia Malicious, and Camaraderie. We were more than happy to give them some time to introduce themselves, discuss how they got into Roller Derby, and promote their season opener.

Wrestler's Dewey Murray, aka The Man Of 1,000 Gimmicks and "Super Bad" Richard Venice also joined us once again. They took full advantage of No Pants Day by donning their wrestling tights, and decided to promote an upcoming Rochester show with me sandwiched firmly between them.
I was told this was one of the funnier moments of the show. Let's put it this way, they were mentioning certain ECW wrestlers appearing at this event, and it was a little awkward hearing the name Balls Mahoney mentioned considering the close proximity of, well...I'm sure you can understand why I pleaded, "Don't say balls!!!"

Jeffie was on hand, along with Foul Mouth Girl and Just Joe from The Last Exit For The Lost. I gotta say, they were certainly in the No Pants Day spirit. Jeffie in his boxers, Just Joe in his boxers, and FMG in layers of undergarments.
Okay, so I really can't complain about FMG in her undies, but she pulled a slightly mean little trick on us. At the top of each hour she removed one layer of undies, and said she'd remove the last layer at midnight.
But, when midnight arrived she announced that No Pants Day was over, and promptly put her pants back on...
We are ALL such suckers...

The night had more than it's fair share of carnage, with Just Joe becoming an early casualty as he fell victim to an attack from Joe. Jeffie certainly took his lumps as well, as he and Just Joe each took turns getting wrestling chops not only from Dewey and Super Bad, but from Karma and Mia as well.
Actually, I'd have to say that Mia's chop was probably the loudest and sounded the most painful. It also left the reddest handprint on Just Joe's chest...

Josh had actually decided to protest No Pants Day by wearing jeans, and claiming that he had grown denim skin didn't convince anybody. Before the night was over, he was separated from his jeans courtesy of Karma, Mia, and Camaraderie.
Of course, Josh somehow didn't seem to object too much, and was grinning blissfully as the girls got him down to his boxers...

I took my share of abuse as well. In addition to being sandwiched between Dewey and "Super Bad", I ended up with both Jeffie and Just Joe in my lap throughout the evening. And Jeffie seemed to feel a need to fondle my man-boobs (yes, I'm a big guy, I have them...), which I think I tolerated with at least some semblance of grace, if not a complete lack of panic...

Cthulhu also decided to drop in for a brief visit.
Funny thing, one moment I'm fine, next there's a clap of thunder from outside and I've got this green squid-like thing attached to my wrist...
You know things have gotta be bad when you've officially traumatized an Elder God. When you've made a Great Old One shudder in horror, I imagine you must have been involved in something pretty distasteful, and Cthulhu made it very clear to us that we were ALL out of our minds!
Seriously, here's a being that's been awoken from eons of slumber, thinking it's time to bring his own brand of madness into the world and to do his part to spread chaos, and when he thinks the time has finally come...
...he discovers that it's already too late and the world is officially a lost cause...
I'm sure our little green buddy will be fine, though. Of course, he didn't take too well to the impostor that Just Joe had in his possession. Kind of a "Will the real Cthulhu please stand up" moment. Should look fun on the video!

Outside of some confusion over whether or not I'm a real wolf (seriously, how could anyone possibly think otherwise...), that pretty much covers all the No Pants Day bases. Things should be back to a relatively normal scope next week!
Not that we ever really have a "normal" show, that is...







And the Time Lapse Version of the whole night...

Listen to the Show

Recap by Fire Eater Wizard; Gotta say that last night was probably the most enjoyable I've had on the show since I returned back in January. Roc City Roller Derby announcer Gil Monster joined us, and while he proudly promoted the upcoming Roller Derby season, he was also on hand to promote something just as cool!
Now, I'd seen photos of some of Gil's handiwork. The guy makes some awesome little figures out of pipe cleaner, all kinds of fun creatures and creepy characters. What I didn't know was that these characters were part of something much larger in scope. Seems that Gil has patented a board game, and these little pipe cleaner critters are actually game pieces!
Awesomeness...
So, the game is called "Amputheatre", and the game board represents a futuristic battle arena where our fuzzy little pipe cleaner pals fight it out. Seems that each character (and there are literally dozens of them, all hand crafted by Gil) is a hardened convicted criminal, and what they're battling for is a full government pardon. Random dice rolls represent a number of things, including the initial placement of your character on the game board. Now, as each character has a detachable head and arms, some attacks allow for dismemberment or decapitation. Of course, severed body parts have to land somewhere, so another random roll of dice determines where these pieces end up on the game board.
Prime example: I'd chosen a character called Sunderella, a child-eating circus bear who, instead of rolling around on a giant ball, can roll around on severed heads for a movement bonus. Yeah, it's pretty gruesome...
Speaking of gruesome, there's also blood. Lots and lots of blood, represented by little tokens made of pieces of red felt. Blood spatter occurs after successful attacks, and once again, a random dice roll determines where the blood falls. This comes in handy if you're low on life, as you can absorb any blood that occupies a square that you land on.
Of course, there are also little surprises scattered about the board. Little cards that represent weapons to be picked up, or spells, and even a couple of traps that are truly best avoided. Loved the Yeti In A Box! (If you've ever seen "Creepshow", you know what I'm talking about.)
There's much more to it, really can't fully describe it here. I will say that Josh and I were in game geek heaven as we played in between talk breaks, with Gil and his wife, RCRD's Dee Fenestrate playing along and guiding us. Seriously, it's a blast!

Speaking of games, during a brief visit from Jim Schreck we somehow got on the subject of song lyrics being sung by assorted celebrities and/or public figures. Can't honestly remember how this came about, but it reminded me of a conversation I'd had with my brother and a mutual friend.
About three years ago, Bill had been lamenting about not being able to beat a song on Guitar Hero 2, and we'd told him "It's not the end of the world". Now, it's well established that it doesn't take much to plant a given song in my head, so this, combined with an earlier discussion about Cradle Of Filth, made me ponder how Skeeter Davis's country classic "The End Of The World" would sound as sung by Dani Filth...
Needless to say, I did my impersonation of just that on the show last night...
That sparked an idea for a game to be played on the show, combining well-known rock lyrics with impersonations of random celebrities or characters.
Guess who's seriously considering running with this idea? Given a few weeks, I'm betting I could concoct something fun, and I'm sure the other guys on the show would love to provide some input. We'll see how it goes!

Listen to the Show

Recap by The Metal Wulf: Well, we weren't sure if we were ever going to pull it off, but we managed to get some of the Roc City Roller Derby girls to drop in for an off-season visit.
Wasn't that long ago that they held what they call Fresh Meat Clinics, basically a series of try-outs for new girls to join the team. So, in addition to the return of Karma-Lized and Cuss Muffin, we had two of the new girls on hand as well: Bionic Bombshell and Mystery Meat!
Seriously, ya gotta love those derby names!
Speaking of which, those of us who are on the show regularly recalled the derby names we chose during one of their previous visits back in August. I had chosen WarWulf at the time, and Rick had gone with Rick N' Roll. I honestly can't remember what Josh had picked, although the name had come up in the discussion...
Sigh...
Joe couldn't remember his at all, and neither could the rest of us. This led to a discussion of whether Joe should pick a new derby name, and somehow I don't think we determined one...
Hmmm...

Discussion came up concerning Joe wanting to take a turn tossing shirts to the crowd at one of the upcoming events once the new season gets under way, which actually sounds like a lot of fun.
From there, we discussed other options of things to throw to the crowd, taking into consideration some of the local sponsors. Cuss Muffin seemed to think that throwing Zweigles Hot Dogs to the crowd would be a pretty cool idea, which melded into a slightly different conversation altogether.
Let's just say the idea went from Weiner Tossing, to Salad Tossing, to Teabag Tossing...
It doesn't take that much of a sick mind to run with that, now does it?
Of course, my suggestion was Back Wax, something that may confuse those who aren't familiar with some of Anvil's more recent material. I'd prefer not to elaborate, really...

Eventually Karma and the new girls took their leave, but Cuss Muffin stuck with us almost to the end of the show. Cool by us, she's a fun lady to have on board!

Here's where things get hazy for me...
Jeffie arrived with FMG, and to be honest, the only thing I remember from the later segments of the show are further discussions of the "infection" that Jeffie passed onto me. Something about the symptoms making me a happier MetalWulf, explaining why I'm likely to break into song at the drop of a hat...
Hmmmm...
I'm starting to think there's more to it than that. Maybe another side-effect is the blocking of moments on the show that may be considered embarrasing for Jeffie, keeping me from sharing them in the recap each week!
Seriously, this is killin' me! I KNOW there was some pretty funny stuff discussed after his arrival, and I can't think of a thing!!!
Of course, it could be that in that last couple of hours that lead to 2 a.m. my brain just turns to jelly, affecting my memory retention...

Nah, this is all Jeffie's fault!!!
