Beefcake the Mighty, Oderus Urungus, and New York City dog poop

Talked to Eric H. briefly about the $180 2010 Olympic jerseys, and compensation. Then Corey decided to tell me more GWAR news...

Corey says: well, there's a brand new GWAR album out
Flami: learning about martyrs says: newer than the stuff you sent me?
Corey says: it came out like 3-4 days ago
Corey says: and it has a song sung by Beefcake the Mighty! this is nothing new, but Beefcake is now Casey Orr again, who is the 2nd long-term guy to play Beefcake, but did most of the songs sung by him, plus he's the lead singer in X-Cops. so that's cool. he left quite a while ago
Flami: let me guess... it's a revolving cast of characters as to who plays who?
Corey says: no... they generally stay the same, but they've changed members here and there
Corey says: there were a ton of different people at the very very start since it wasn't even a serious band at first :P but after that, it settled into long-term people for each character.. Oderus wasn't even the original singer! he was in the band from the start though
Flami says: well, I guess seniority does have its perks, haha... ;)
Corey says: there were two singers before Oderus... Johnny Slutman, and Joey Slutman. Johnny didn't last long at all, Joey not much longer.. if you have the Let There Be GWAR album (not sure if you do or not :P) he's on the first few songs... sounds totally different
Corey says: but the main current characters have had different humans in the suits... well, Beefcake (bass) and Flattus Maximus (guitar) have... the rest have been around forever


Poo nugget for this weekend: Doo You Know? - No Poop in the Big Apple - In August 1978, New York enacted Section 1310 of the Public Health Code, and thus became the first city to enact a "Pooper Scooper Law." This required dog owners to collect and dispose of their animals' waste. Violators of the law are subject to a $100 fine.
