I was going though some old stuff and came across an AIM conversation I had with a member of “Salty the Pocket Knife” – A band that has Screech (aka Dustin Diamond) in it.

Sure, I’m lame, I like Saved by the Bell – but ya’ know what?

Crash and burn motherfucker. Enjoy. (for those of you that don’t know – I’m Freehaiti)

FreeHaiti: Why did you name your band salty the pocket knife?
Saltythepocket: we were high on drugs
FreeHaiti: Good drugs? Or are you just potheads?
Saltythepocket: just kidding
FreeHaiti: ok
FreeHaiti: I wasn't
Saltythepocket: what does the name mean to you?
FreeHaiti: Dumb-assed indie-wannabe shit. And you?
Saltythepocket: selective listeners only. All others move to haiti
FreeHaiti: So are you playing regularly?
Saltythepocket: what do you care
FreeHaiti: No disrespect, I just am not a fan of the name
Saltythepocket: and when did you first hear about us?
