Dark Meat Leftovers: Like A Rug

Tuesday, October 4th, 2011

I swear I was going to put up a new show tonight (this is so old, I was still married when I recorded it) but I had this terrible emergency. My FOOT EXPLODED. It just blew up, and I needed to hobble over to the emergency room, over 30 miles away. And I saved Christmas on my way there. Anyway, the show is about transparent lies. Enjoy!
