Infamous interplanetary peace punks Peach Schnapps & the Poltergeists end yet another show with the classic 'Punch a Space Nazi'.
Manners be damned, Seymour is inspired.
He looks around, but can't find a single definitive space nazi anywhere.
Shrugging, he belts Elan Muskmelon a good one.

I'll take stiff little fingers and the pogues first and foremost, but the undertones were pretty great!

Welcome back to the Annual Pan-galatic Punk Picnic everyone! Today the Brüskee Microsystem is presenting! What do you think, Bob?
Ko'l, I'm getting hints of caramel with an undertone of piranha.
Any good?
Oh, no. Just no. This is the worst stout I've ever had!

*Signs, symptoms of space herpes/intergalactic gonorrhea:

Neon rainbow projectile discharge
Chancres, giggling inappropriately
Sores that weep edible pine nuts
Blisters that high five each other, but always miss

Penelope Clementine Penumbra: Do I hear the sound of chancres giggling inappropriately?
Kurt Kerf2: Um, no?
PCP: Do you have blisters that try to high five each other, but constantly miss?
K2: Um...
PCP: You have space herpes again! Told ya to wear a #raincoat!

He was a real #libertine, to be sure
Twas sensual and seemingly so pure
It was rather nice
Though you paid a price
But never fear, your doctor has the cure!

After the band nearly throws him out an airlock for suggesting they cover an Oasis song for their upcoming punk cover album, Kurt Kerf2 still tries to insert his love of britpop.
K2: Blur?
Peach Schnapps: Fuck no! Pick someone with #talent!
K2: #Pulp?
P: Ready the airlock!

Aboard their ship, pan-galatic punks Peach Schapps & the Poltergeists vote and veto songs for an upcoming cover album.

Kurt Kerf2: Oh! How about Oasis? I love--
Peach: Ready the airlock!

Interview excerpt with Penelope Clementine Penumbra, bassist for pan-galatic punks Peach Schapps & the Poltergeists:
So you had sold out shows and several riots on the Moons of Myopia--would you describe the tour as a success?
PCP: To be honest, it was all a bit of a #blur.

Skiff Tugboat, renowned drummer for pan-galatic punks Peach Schnapps & the Poltergeists, sighs.
Kurt Kerf2: Why so glum, drum chum?
Skiff: I wanna make a really great pun with today's prompt word, but I got nuthin.
K2: Wow, that's a real conun--
Skiff: No, don't! Ah, you've ruined it.

Interview excerpt:
Does making punk music #sublimate your anger, does the anger inspire you? Does music calm you?
Peach Schnapps: Does asking stupid questions inspire me to knock your teeth down your throat?
Uh...
Peach hums softly.
Does--
Skiff Tugboat, whispers: I think you should leave...

Skiff Tugboat's spoon collection is only rivalled by that of Gertrude Jones of Ipswich, UK and Grognisth of the Pits of of Doom, Noosa XII. However, this ranking is set to change in the near future as Gertrude's hatched a plan to raid Grognisth's stash next Wednesday.

What are you doing?
Skiff Tugboat: Painting an #escutcheon on my drumkit.
It looks like two crossed spoons.
Skiff, bristles: The one is from Tka II, after we ended the Time War. And the other is--
Peach Schapps, whispers: I thought we told you to never ask about his spoon collection...

Under heavy #scrutiny from the pan-galatic press, peace punks Peach Schapps & the Poltergeists release the following statement:

Yes, we are pacifists. And our song 'Death to the Orange Goblin' is not a blueprint, a manifesto, nor a recipe. However...

The #sonorous adventures of pan-galatic punks Peach Schapps & the Poltergeists were briefly put on hold this week, due to a loss of communication device and the forgetting of passwords.
Kurt Kerf2: #Memory ain't what it used to be, eh old man?
Punk Rock Kilgore Trout: Shut up.
