Those are fingers

I think Weird Al annoyed my mom enough that she gave him a hard veto lol

I kept playing CDs I burned of The Toy Dolls and Seven Seconds of Love, the novelty ska band by the dude who did the Sponge Monkeys flash animations. Kind of soundtrack that makes a center divider look inviting at freeway speeds

There's something fun about the shitswimming itself yeah. Like thrifting, or beachcombing with a metal detector

Forgot how OVA sleaze hits during the early Digipaint era. "Borderline ryona against lady in toku-inspired fetish leotard" is so 2002. We're too grown-up for chicken tendies and ketchup; we're men now. We need chicken tendies drenched in fry grease and Taki dust. Mom can't tell us no
