THE “HAS-BEEN” INFESTATION IN PIRATE RADIO! Commander Bunny Don’t transmit, Commander Bunny Don’t produce shows, 'Commander Bunny' just makes trouble and tells big-big-bigger-BIGGEST LIES! (And, he's a freakin' MORON, Too!)
Pirate Radio News & Commentary, "a la Commander Bunny" by John Poet
for the hate and lies you keep passing along disguised as the bile-filled rantings of a no-longer-influential, mentally deluded, over-rated has-been and severely disturbed lunatic!"
Why, yes, yes I am. In fact, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the board of directors, partularly my old friends Pat Murphy and John T. Arthur, for making me the very first inductee. Thanks guys!
HAH! I thought all the illiterate misspellings were right on, but there wasn't enough bad punctuation. LOVED the mixed-tense verbs too; perfectly matches his uneducated style.
Wait a second. Pretend Pirates? Isn't The Crystal Ship in the Hall of Fame? And the Snitch Puppet King is not..that is to say not under THAT nom de poulet! (Look it up, Commander Murphy et.al.!!)
Speaking of has-beens, the latest WBNY rant claims that FRC and HFU have seen their hit count drop recently.
Well, I can't speak for those sites, but I can guarantee that the hit count for the FRN has gone down quite a bit in the past week. It does this ol' boy's heart good to see it.

ReplyDeleteWell, I'm sure you deserved it!
ReplyDelete"FIGHT for FREE RADIO", right?
We seemed to have that phrase in common, but I was using it in the early 80's...
Someone call an exorcist! Poet has been possessed by the Commandant Lapin demon! With what appears to be a side dish of Noodlethulhu.
