Heh, thanks for that heads up, Ben. What a kick to read all of those crazy BHS stories in the Metafilter thread.

This post inspired a metafilter post on the Butthole Surfers (said post specifically cites Coilhouse). The best part of which is the many personal anecdotes about the Surfers in the post's comments.

It just does not get more rock and roll than the Buttholes. Real rockstars are not just hotel room destroying assholes, they become one with the hotel room and they all self destruct together. They are absurd catastrophes that defy logic, physics, and thermodynamics everywhere they go, and God bless em’ for it.

My favorite Butthole Surfers story is in the book Our Band could be your Life by Michael Azerrad, about the time Gibby rubbed his crotch all over Jimmy Carters luggage.

I am totally getting that book if there are more bon mots like that in it.

If ya got a special op ed piece on quality wine bungs, we can keep this train on rollin’, Mer!

I love the Buttholes… Forget this celebutard crap. Back when I was a kid, we had REAL rockstar addicts, goddammit! Guys who’d snort Drano and punch out highway patrolmen. You know; rock stars! Yet I also identify with these guys quite strongly.

I too had a shirt. It too was hurt. And sadness filled the air.

Wow… that’s two posts in a row on Coilhouse with the word “butthole” in them. Classy! Also, totally unintentional.
