Gooby!

Listen Dollies,

Your good buddy Foz has been a little under the weather for a couple of days. Just a little something in my nose, or rather just a lot of something out of my nose.

If you want a musical description of it, you will find it under the Allied Artists heading at the left. Follow the link to BUY Bobby and the Chuxx album Mr. Poorluck Buys Some China. Click on the song Herr Germy, the chorus of which includes the exclamation, “Gooby!”

Of course, "Gooby" isn’t just the sound you make when you contemplate in horror the evil monster you have expelled from your head while speedballing Nyquil and chicken soup. Don’t ask me how you turned chicken soup into that, because it’s your goo! You clean it up. Gooby is also the delightful and creepy 2009 straight-to-video Eugene Levy vehicle, Gooby. Above you will see a still from the hilarious scene where the title character sneaks up behind the little boy and garrotes him with piano wire. Don’t worry, the little boy is a Nazi, and Gooby is a British commando. You have to see it to understand it. I haven’t seen it.

Anyway, by now you understand that far preferable to creepy commando bear videos is the Chuxx track from Mr. Poorluck Buys Some China. Go and buy it now, while we all sing along:

There sits Germy

Alone and Sad,

He killed us all

That thoughtless cad.

From Germy’s germs

We had no tincture,

To keep us from bleeding from

Nose to Sphincter.

That’s right, my honey babies. Your pal Foz rhymed “Tincture” with “Sphincter”*. Foz’s lyric-writing symposium will be featured in the Old Town School of Folk Music catalog just as soon as the syllabus passes muster with the FCC.

In the meantime, join FtH tomorrow night (Wednesday) at 9:00 as we scald the room clean of germs at Cole’s. We play at 9:00. Funny Comics play at 9:30. Sign up is at 8:30, and no earlier! Otherwise Gooby the Creepy Bear will smother you in your sleep.

(*Foz didn’t do that. thos. e. did.)
