BS: He plays air guitar and proud of it!

My buddy Shane McBride from Blind River has finally mastered the air guitar after about 15 years of flailing around in a drunken stupor, waving his arms, and making contorted gestures with his fingers while uttering high screechy sounds to mimic heavy metal feedback and distortion.

He is available for bookings at clubs everywhere.

Guaranteed to draw a big and enthusiastic crowd. Guaranteed to sell enough booze to float a boat.

Call OldRoadKill Productions in Blind River, Ontario, Canada and book Shane to appear at YOUR folk club or local arena SOON!

He'll do it if the pay is right. What are you offering? He needs travel expenses too, so don't forget that.

$50, a carton of smokes, a keg (15 gallons) of beer (REAL beer, not piss like Budweiser), a bottle or two of rye whiskey, a bowel of M&Ms with all the red ones removed, his own private motel room complete with running water and a flush toilet, and transportation here on a private jet.

You know, if I don't hear from what's-his-name real soon I'm going to have to offer the gig to the It Depends (they used to be called The Soggy Bottom Boys).

Shane has already indicated his enthusiastic acceptance of your generous offer, Rapaire. The only thing remaining is to pick a date.

I've already offered him a week-long gig. That would include everything mentioned above every day (except for the jet transportation, of course).

We posted dates for your appearance -- the week between Christmas and New Year's. You never replied, never said anything about whether these dates were okay with you or not. The Legion had to get the festivities lined up, so you lost out to the Butthole Surfers and the Celtic Goatherds.

Perhaps, just perhaps, and I'm not promising anything, The Commandant might possibly maybe be able to work you in as the opening act for the Surfers or as the Goat for the Goatherds. But dude, you snooze you lose, ya know?
