Has there ever been a bigger drop in quality in album art than between the first two Danzig albums?

The first record? One of the most iconic images in hard rock.

The second record? Prank.

Got to perform in a wonderful, supportive speed-dating improv show last night. These shows are always so fun and the audience has such a great time, not to mention us the performers. Check loose corn on Instragram for upcoming shows.

Once, after a ring-bearer dog defecated in the aisle, she scooped up the dog poop with her bare hands to prevent the bride from soiling her dress.

Merely one of the bonkers stories of the world’s most successful professional bridesmaid. Ignore the vague waft of click-bait, this is a detailed, fully reported piece.

You ever feel a sense of obligation looking at your podcast backlog? And they’re all comedy podcasts? “I am duty bound to listen to nonsense!”

I don’t know how it happened, but I need everyone to know that my cousin and I are the coolest motherfuckers in the world right now.
