omg "il douche"

The Beach Boys organization overestimated the fandom for "Carl and the Passions" & "Holland", so they drastically cut back on the initial print run of the "Love You" box set, massively underestimating how many dang ass freaks it has

One of the wildest pieces of Bay City Rollers trivia I know is that Ian Mitchell, who replaced bassist Alan Longmuir in 1976, quit the band after about seven months and started his own Ian Mitchell Band, which featured Simon Lindsay James Honey, better known as reviled porn producer/actor Ben Dover

my wife: "so far on my day off, i've done three or four autism spectrum quizzes online" me: "...do you think that may itself be an autism spectrum test?"
