We are neither old nor ugly…

We are neither old nor ugly. But our friends are.

We think that everyone on Old Ugly is cool. In fact, they are some of the coolest people we know.

This one time, Mitchmatic put gin in The Joe’s beer and I had carry Joe to bed. It was the first time I really hung out with Joe. This other time I ran into a telephone pole and woke up to Mitchmatic stepping over me to get to work. Still another time I worked my way through a set with Liam while The Joe listened. And don’t even get us started on Bike Month. Fucking Bike Month. What a guy.

CHECK THEM ALL OUT HERE.

CBT ain’ nuttin ta fuck with.
