half-bred in salamanca and exiled in trouble town, a distinct rumbling has begun to be heard off the coast of lake michigan.

too loud for the martini crowd, and too far out for the blue ribbon purists. they attempted to put a finger on them, but they couldn’t come close, for despite their repugnant appearances, these bulls were very fast, and quickly ran off, taking all the marginalizer’s women with them.

these mariachi-suiciders are strumming hard til’ the end. will you dare to listen?
