BOC:"Stun Cowbell"?

[Tim]

Speaking of cowbells.... watching `cannibal the musical' the other day..quite funny, a musical about Alferd Packer the 19th century cannibal from Colorado... in the grand finale dance number (`hang the bastard' i believe it's called) they stop and someone yells
out  COWBELL SOLO and some guy bangs away on a cowbell for a good 15 seconds.
Had to back that up and run it again. LOL
interestingly enough, the dvd also has a public service announcement done by Lemmy
about hermaphrodites!!
yeah...life is good...
