To Keep And Bear

Usually, when the Meat Beetles use samples of media and political personalities, the intent is to ridicule and insult those people.

Paul's Big Score

Here is another bit featuring the genius of '70s pick up guru, Eric Weber (Weber also played a prominent role in "The Mating Call of the Male Uglo-American").
