Subtle Bluntness

Fat Mike randomly filling in with, “Sell me some drugs!” because he forgets part of the song is pretty funny.  Also funny is the part where he mentions asking who put up the barricade and takes a pointed glance at… the barricade.

Happy Halloween, boys and ghouls!  We made it through 8 days of Misfitsween videos.

I had to dust off my first GraphJam graph for this one.
