Tales from Grue’s hard drive

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)

Saltythepocket: what does the name mean to you?
FreeHaiti: Dumb-assed indie-wannabe shit. And you?

  1. Funny stuff Joe.

    I once had a similar convo with The Shock Rock band – http://www.shockrockband.com/

    They stopped chatting with me when I asked them if they would come play a concert for the mentally retarded.

    Your third brown eye line is quite the show stopper. Kudos!
