Why The Replacements Ruined My Life

[pz]

So, one day I’m driving down the road in my chrome-wheeled Camaro, tunes blasting, fuzzy dice swinging, mullet flowing in the wind, when I accidentally change the radio from the Top-Forty channel to some college radio station with the signal strength of a Yugo, and before I can switch it back, the lyrics of ‘Unsatisfied’ begin to fill my ears. There I was, a dependable consumer suckling at the teat of popular entertainment, a cog, a number, a battery blissfully plugged into the Matrix, when this raspy Minnesotan voice destroyed in an instant everything that I thought was good and important. Then, I got gum on my white-washed jeans.

I’ve never been the same.

Thanks a lot, Mr. Westerberg. You’ve got some aPAULogizing to do.

There is an episode of The Simpsons where they flashback to Homer and Barney's high school days. It's the day before the SATs and a clean-cut, Harvard-bound Barney is diligently studying for the exams.

Homer introduces Barney to beer, and Barney's life goes in a downward spiral from there.

That's how the Replacements impacted my life.

Little known fact: A pre-Mats-struck PZ was the inspiration for the Dead Milkmen's "Bitchin' Camaro". True story!

I am no longer welcome at the beach since getting this tattoo:




Although, if I am ever jailed for a fair amount of time, this may act as a deterrent, or possibly a "right back at 'cha, buddy".
