Musings on the Most Ridiculous Band I Can't Stop Listening To

Phisherman’s Cap

Hey, Mike.

“Oh, am I part of your nonsense now?”

I actually listened to some great stuff from The Phishes today. Really enjoyed it: some ’97 from Amsterdam.

“Yeah, they were great shows. Um…”

Yes?

“This is?”

Oh, that’s Benjy Eisen. He belongs to Billy.

“Can Billy come get him?”

Ah. No. Y’see: Billy did Conan last night, so he was up real late assblasting 22-year-old PA’s.

“Shit.”

Yeah.

How does Benjy smell?

“Like my number one fan.”

    Conan announced to his audience at 11:35PM USEast to go watch Letterman’s swan song. I’m serious, he did. Bill walked onto Conan’s stage a few mins later. I did not see Bill’s interview. I doubt many people did. BTW, who got the miracle ticket at the LA Book signing?

      Well, you know: Billy ain’t exactly a huge “get” for the booker.

      Anyone know the Miracle babies?

    There’s something about Benjy’s crazy motherfucker face and the fact they are both wearing jean vests. What exactly *is* going on in this picture?

    • thoughtsonthedead

      A lot. There is a lot going on in this picture. Wildly differing levels of enthusiasm, yet–as you mentioned–jean vests.

      One jean vest is coincidence, two is a conspiracy.

        I don’t see how this ended well for Mike. He’s in a very dangerous situation.

    Mike looks like he’s about to puke. look at his eyes, he’s completely annihilated. his swollen face. his very pail color. he does not look good at all. dude is going to hurl.

    • maggiemay

      Maybe you should get him a pail… For his… “PAIL” color… ๐Ÿ˜‰

      I’m sorry I’m super lame and rude

        Young lady, what is my policy on foolishness?

      • jaygerland

        awww, that’s a buzz kill.

        • thoughtsonthedead

          I know, right? Team Jay.

          But he does look pail. I’m worried he might kick the bucket.

          I like how Bobby says it without any punctuation at all.

          But everyone is still mad at you.

      • jaygerland

        Wait! What? I have never seen that before! He looks so healthy. I want to shop at whatever fucking place he wants me to shop at to help feed so and so.

        Good point. You are forgiven.

      • jaygerland

        that is seriously funny. i’m stealing it and using it at work tomorrow.

      • maggiemay

        Shit I replied to the wrong comment

        Jaygerland, use away.

    • FreedomHaul

      It looks like his body is shutting down to protect itself from catching whatever BE clearly has.

    Benjy’s T shirt worries me. I am not certain exactly what it is, but what I can see is very disturbing.

    • thoughtsonthedead

      That’s the cover to Appetite for Destruction! Nothing wrong with that!

      • jaygerland

        the other patches look pretty made up, nothing official. I think there was more to these village-people-s&m-biker-costumes that we don’t get to see.

      • Robin Russell

        You have confirmed my worst suspicions. The universe will take its revenge, it will be savage and swift.

  5. jaygerland

    Seriously though. Mike does not look good. How old is this picture?

    • jaygerland

      so what era benjy eisen is this? pic here is from 2008. he’s real thin in the original post pic.

      • thoughtsonthedead

        I refuse to live in a world where there are Benjy Eisen eras.

    • thoughtsonthedead

      • jaygerland
