Purveyors of Panties

El: Mel, I have a great idea!

Mel: What is it?

El: You know how we give away a pair of thong panties to one lucky winner after each show?

Mel: Yes.

El: Well, what if we make the thongs available for sale so that anyone who wants them can have a pair?

Mel: Actually, I already thought of that. I created a store on our website where people can buy thongs, boxers and Fagnet magnets.

El: Wow. You're psychic. Thanks for doing that!

Mel: No prob.

El: Well I have another idea. A few people have been asking if there's anywhere they can go to download our music. What if we created a music store as well?

Mel: I already did that, too. It's up on our website AND our MySpace.

El: Hm. So it is. Well here's something you haven't thought of... a blog! Everyone who's anyone has a blog.

Mel: I anticipated the need for that as well and took the liberty of creating a blog which is also accessible via our web page.

El: What the hell? Have you been reading my diary or something?

Mel: No. You talk in your sleep.

El: What are you doing watching me sleep?

Mel: Ssh... don't worry about it.

Wrinkles and Horrible: A way of describing various aspects of unattractiveness.

Did you see those candid shots taken at our last gig? I don't know if it was the lighting or what, but we were wrinkles and horrible in every single one.
