Mercury copy chief and appreciator of the most sophisticated form of comedy: PUNS! More by Courtney Ferguson
Ah, that’s a whacking stick–definitely not a shillelagh–traditionally used during Whacking Day!!
Come on, Ferguson! Did you really think some Simpson nerd wasn’t going to notice that incongruity? Really!?
Not going to give me an inch, are you Super Chundy?
I love how the Mercury carries obvious grudges against some great, long standing local bands.
Spindles <3 Floater.
Nope. (Also, get with the times CF. It’s all about the metric system now. Didn’t Matt Davis teach you anything? Besides how to be an overall terrible person.)
On one hand, Max Tundra… on the other the Roseland, a headliner I don’t want to see, and the terribleness involved with downtown on St. Patrick’s Day. Looks like it’s jammies and cookies for me again!
Tis true. Why all the Floater hatin’ guys?
Floater asked for it by choosing a name that immediately conjures up the image of a smelly turd adrift in a toilet bowl. That, and by being a shitty band.
Free rock and roll at the Ella Street Social Club!
