...York hardcore band. They put out a couple of records which you always find lying around record stores. They're interesting curiosities, but I never, ever think of buying one. It seems that they are now "out of print" and unavailable, though I could swear I saw "Pollywog Stew" in the bins at Newbury Comics just yesterday. Well, if you have always wanted a CD that compiles all of these early works, there is now one available on their own Grand Royal Records, aptly titled Some Old Bullshit. As my roommate explained, "If you don't already have this stuff...
During their five-day cruise to Honolulu, the astronauts began debriefings, ate a Thanksgiving Day turkey dinner and staged a traditional Navy "pollywog" ceremony for Astronaut Richard Gordon, who had never before crossed the equator at sea. Gordon was draped with a sign reading: "Beware! Luney Wog. Unclean. Unpredictable."

C. Fields; a 500-lb. Galápagos tortoise, that roughly resembles an old grey washtub upside down, changes...
Gauntlets and Grease. Next day, before breakfast coffee had well settled in pollywog bellies, a full-whiskered Neptunus Rex arrived on the fantail. He was attended by Davy Jones and Queen Amphitrite (a tough, blond Marine sergeant wearing enormous falsies and rope-yarn hair). As No. 1 Pollywog, Truman was first-but was let off easy. He was merely ordered to give his autograph to each member of Neptune's court, and to furnish his staff with Corona cigars forever. Margaret was directed to lead a group in Anchors Aweigh, which she did falteringly...
