B's & G's...meet WILLIAM ABEL AUERS, ESQ *

The Lawn Lawyer!

Conceived and Fabricated by
Chris Butler & Maria Reidelbach

Summer, '07

i've had this ideaimage for ages. i've always been very offended by the racist lawn jockeys i'd see on rich white folk's lawns - the real evil ones are called "jockos" and look like this:

Bill started out as a conventional, concrete Cavalier Spirit lawn jockey. i found him behind the counter at a Clevo garden store (Al Parker - thanks for the tip!), and he kinda looked like this:

PEEVE DE JOUR: my car is in the shop...third day.

JOIE DE JOUR: scallops for dinner! and it's my Lil Bro's birthday!

NEW JERSEY

IN THE DOGHOUSE AGAIN

dundidit.

a personal best.

have now managed to get everyone i care about pissed at me/have managed to get everything i love doing in snarledsnarly mess.

100%.

across the board.

best intentions, be damned.

nice work, cb.

NP: Patrick Sweeney's latest. not an instant grabber like "C'Mon. C'Mere", but good none the less. Dan Auerbach got some great guitar sounds (well...duh), but PS is a great vocalist, too, and his voice is too far back in the mix.

PEEVE DE JOUR: see above.

JOIE DE JOUR: none.
