the original misfits fiend club: 1979 - 1983

we're going to try a little something different here. instead of listening with your ears you're going to look with your eyes. i know. it might be a little hard at first but you can do it. i've seen you do it before. i was in your closet and i saw you looking at that catalog. i wasn't really able to make out what kind of catalog it was because the blanket on your bed kept moving. how do you sleep there with all of that moving? you might want to get that looked at.

i'm going to assume that you know who the misfits were/are. yeah. metallica likes them. sure. but their more than that. but what they're not is no goddamn sonofabitch. you don't want to go into the bathroom with them. [insert another misfits reference here]. well once upon a time they had a club that you could join. and with that membership you'd get card stating that you were a member for life. you'd get records and t-shirts and stickers and buttons and newsletters and letters from their singer and whatever else they could manage to scrounge up in their basement.

so now you can take a look back and think "awwwwwman! why didn't i join up like everyone else was? stupid dumb dire straits fan club!"
