[reply][reply]That’s pretty cool SMM shirt
Yeah, uhhhh, it was slightly less cool after we finished with it.[/reply]
That’s unfortunate. How much did you spend on it only to destroy it?[/reply]
I didn’t spend anything on it. I won it in a Ministry contest.
Yeah, I forgot none of these guys know the storied history of the SMM shirt.
Such a short, tragic life.
Almost as tragic as that horrendous design on the shirt.
RIP Porko Gotho.

I was thinking it would be rad to cut it up into a bunch of limited edition pieces and then send them out to whoever wanted one with a numbered certificate of authenticity . . . . Atkins style.
But we got carried away and after we all pissed on it we weren’t touching it.

This is true.
The shirt got destroyed, but I did bring back a pretty sweet souvenir . . . .
Aprile gave me a bow and arrow set.
It’s the loveliest most irresponsibly thoughtful thing anyone has ever given me.

Gang, this is my fault. I sincerely regret not offering it to a Pronger. I bought the SMM bundle because I wanted that silly lab beaker. But, I hated this shirt so I decided to pass it on to someone who might not be embarrassed to wear it. So, I posted a little contest in FB group that Gunnar won, much to the irritation of other contestants. I received a ton of hate mail for it, so we decided to just rage with the fucking shirt and see what happened. Essentially, just making a mockery of the whole situation. People on FB are truly retarded fuckwits. But, it was very satisfying ashing on it, stepping on it, and pissing on it.
I wasn’t irritated. My submission was as much of a goof as his was.
I would have just destroyed that shirt the next time Gunnar and I hung out, so its fate wouldn’t have been much different.
The contest for me wasn’t really about winning, per se, but making sure that SNOTTERS came in last and died in shame, unpopular, uncool, and without an SMM shirt.
And in that sense we were ALL (except Snotters) winners!

Yeah, I didn’t think you were irritated. But, seriously, people were sending me DM’s about how the “contest” was designed to be won by rich Ministry fans who have money to buy lots of merch, or that Gunnar and I were pals so it was obvious I was going to give it to him anyway, or “I don’t think Al would approve of you giving away the tshirt.” Holy fuck. This on top of people asking me to repost the “rules” and if I got permission from the group admins to hold a contest - I may have violated group and FB rules. Jesus Christ on the Cross. Lesson learned for me.

That’s the best EVER.
It’s not even an official Ministry page. It’s just some silly fan page that a bunch of us stumbled on and kind of grew.
No one from Ministry is even in that group . . . unless you count the Librarian who has never contributed anything.
I do love the theory of it being rigged in my favor of the rich fans that have money to buy a bunch of merch . . . . considering I didn’t actually post even a single Ministry item of mine. I am a billionaire, though. That’s just common knowledge. I just dress and smell like a hobo to throw off the people trying to hit me up for loans.
This was the official winning photograph of a rich fan with all his Ministry merch and fellow Ministry fanatics . . .

Ha! I didn’t know any of that was going on. Too funny. You should’ve posted that shit to shame those cry babies.
Anyway, it was silly and fun.
Too bad I couldn’t make it to Vegas to see it’s deserved death.

Your presence was missed! It occurred to me that I should out those folks, but seriously reading comprehension is not a trait Ministry FB fans possess. I would have been further vilified for having a little fun and trying to be a nice dude.
Twerk, when I said in the FB thread about finding my Ministry tank top and taking a boobs photo in it, I was only trying to stir the competitors ire up.
How was Excel? Or did you all not make it for them?
We skipped all the opening bands so we could gamble, drink, tell jokes, and twerk. We could see Excel on the big screen TV which was showing a live video feed into the bar. Thankfully they were NOT feeding the audio, so we could boogie down to Beastie Boys and whatever else they were playing for us.
I thought the Fremont Country Club was a really cool venue. It was small so that there was not a bad spot in the house while watching the show, but it was large enough to accommodate mosh pits and other needed punk rock activities. But having the bar and stage room split into separate areas was really awesome so we could actually have fun instead of being tortured by crappy opening bands.
I used to listen to Excel back in the day, but couldn’t name a single song other than their cover of “Message In A Bottle”. And they LOOKED like total chodes. They were all wearing jeans and long-sleeved flannel shirts and they looked like some shit ass Pearl Jam tribute band that didn’t get the memo that it was no longer 1992. Fuck them.
Anyway, the show was awesome. Ministry sounded excellent and the playlist was really good. The crowd was positive and friendly and there was no thuggery in the pit, even when it got a bit agro.
As for the SMM not translating well . . . . this was AFTER the “Gates of Steel” track (which was AWESOME). After Gates it was just some boring ass turntable clusterfuck accompanied by a bunch of lifeless fatties gyrating on stage and Mandi Martyr lip syncing along with Al’s vocal track for “I’m Invisible”.
Decent video of “Gates of Steel.”
Mandi Martyr looks slightly awkward onstage, like she knows what a rockstar’s stage presence should be like but she’s too embarrassed to actually pull it off.
Like me when I go to live band karaoke.

Hahahaha! I think we determined she was sour because Campos was playing bass, not her. She looked like she would prefer to be anywhere other than on stage with Ministry. Good luck, kid.
