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.

Ah, yes. That's from Vesuvius LXXIX. Unfortunately, all their food tastes like ash.

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.
Peach: So far we've got Circle Jerks, the Exploited, Stiff Little Fingers, Nomeansno, Fugazi, and--
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.

Embers of #catastrophe
the only light that remains
earth devoured by greed
ecosystems stripped
bare

Irreparable fate…
We get back what we give,

Cheers. I'd like to see #scififri a thing here. Honestly don't know who does it, but I wish they were on bluesky.

"Pardon the #extrusion," spouted the Flex Hose. "I’ve got a hot rinse cycle on the line in twenty minutes. You understand."

The brass fitting almost said, "Screw you," to the hoser.

"Have a thread of decency! I’ve been waiting patiently since the plumber went on his third smoke break."

As The Mirv, intergalactic home to touring band Peach Schnapps & the Poltergeists, drifts through space, Skiff Tugboat's screams echo throughout the ship.
Even in zero gravity, the #extrusion of a kidney stone is #hard, slow and painful.

So who holds the #reins to the band?
Penelope C. Penumbra: Well, I'm ship maintenance and merch, Peach and Kurt do songwriting and bookings, Skiff cooks and does sound check. It's a communal effort, really.
*mutters: Hippies.
*gurgles
PCP: Hard to talk after a punch to the throat, eh?
