Dear Baierman,

It appears that you are growing weary of the same old messages coming from our opponents, as we've never seen a more painful attempt at political correctness. Clearly you have become uncomfortable with constant assault on your right to enjoy heterosexual sex. Your message is loud and clear.

The offer of employment as our spokesman for the upcoming still stands.

All honor and respect,
Appalachian Republicans for McCarthy

Only one head?

Thanks Tim. What an offer. I will not consider it however, as my lawyers have advised me that one more arrest for subversive activity against the government will lead to jail time.
I can still provide financial assistance. Does your organization take paypal?

Baierman,

We have looked into this 'paypal' thing you referenced and found that it currently cannot convert funds to our monetary system. In light of this news, we are working with the folks at 'paypal' to make it easier for our organization to accept future donations.

In the mean time, if you have any CSA currency, we would appreciate your support. Please write us at:

There is a silent film called "It Happened on 23rd Street" from 1901 that shows a lady's skirt getting blown up. It is filmed right where we did this episode of 3 Chords & the Truth. Probably the origin of the phrase "23 skidoo."

History...

Lookin good gang. Thanks for the info on 23 skidoo. Learn something new every day.

Johnny, as a Seattle guy, you know the origin of Skid Row (the term, not the band)?

I think it has something to do with logs skidding down chutes in the logging towns.

Yeah. When I did the Seattle UnderGround tour they talked about it. Seattle was a logging town back in the day. They had skids to send the lumber down to the bay from the top of the hills. Skid row was some street ending in Pioneer square. Lumberjacks would get paid and then get drunk and pass out on skid row.

Here's the pic.

Wikipedia has some info. This could be BS as these things often are. Still, cool story.

BTW, nice choice of location this time. I've seen pictures of the Flatirin building a million times. It really is iconic/historic.

Amazing pic E. That's the Smith Tower that was the tallest building West of the Mississippi for a while.

And a little more... Kurt Cobain's first band was called Fecal Matter. After they broke up, he wanted the new band to be called Skid Row. Then Kurt was told there a garbage band that already took the name. They became Nirvana.

Now you know kids. And knowing is half the battle.

Kurt..."I'll remember you!"

Do I think Nirvana is the better name cause I like the band better or would I say Nirvana is the cooler name if it was Skid Rows name? (If you know what I mean)?

Thanks Johnny. Wasn't my pic, that's the internet. I was there though, on the UnderGround tour. Lots of fun things to do in Seattle in 94. Good times.

a) I'm really excited Baierman joined the truth! Note to self: NO BUTT SEX
2) Question....did Adam and Baier both wear green on purpose?
c) I've always had a crush on NYC and you guys keep tormenting me with your on-location filming (and I think I like it)
IV) I can't get enough of J-dubs' Michael Jackson "they photographed my penis" impression!

Do New Yorkers really dress like that?!? @ Johnny

it's like a homosexual 80's rapper

Thanks Vicky. You may see me Truth again soon. And probably wearing green, which was not on purpose.

How dare you Mart. This is a slap in the face. This will not stand!

Echo is just mad because his girlfriend always likes my hats and sunglasses.

I was thinking it more of a Dr. John-plays-the-greatest-hits-of-Captain-and-Tennile look.

That may be the first time someone referenced the great Dr. John and Captain and Tennile in the same sentence. Have to tip that Greek fisherman's cap to that one, Tim. Color me impressed.

Being Greek myself, I've seen many a fisherman's cap.

You wear it well ...

Be who you are, J-Dub, Be who you are.

Damn right, brother.
