Album Revie ws

Chelsey Danfield At the Time

Christone “Kingfish” Ingram Kingfish

Dustin Furlow Woodscapes

If you like sultry music by a beautiful woman that sings of how her man done did her wrong, this is the CD for you. Fresh off the release of her second full length album “At the Time”, it looks like now is the time for this 26 year old artist. Chelsey draws inspiration from her rural roots to create alternative country music and has cultivated a sound that incorporates elements of current and classic country, rock, blues, and pop. Debuting at the age of only 6 years old and continuing throughout her high school years, Chelsey played predominantly throughout Ontario and parts of Michigan both as a solo act and later on in experimental punk bands. Over the span of her 20 year career, Chelsey has performed all over Canada and the US, sharing the stage with acts like Kenny Chesney, the Zac Brown Band, Little Big Town, Dwight Yoakam, Mark Chesnutt, Lone Star, Justin Moore, and Blue Oyster Cult…and has no plans on stopping there. Chelsey spans multiple genres and unites her audience in the shared woes of the overworked, underpaid and broken hearted. But this isn’t corny bubblegum “New Country” by a longshot. This talented performer pours her heart and soul into every song as she sings of good times and bad and vows not to make the same mistakes again. A beautiful voice matches a beautiful woman as she eeks out every bit of emotion from each syllable, singing of heartbreak and triumph. “At The Time”, “Can’t Make You Stay”, “Bathtub”… song after song is hit after hit. Some songs fast like shots of whiskey, others nice and slow like a sunset on the lake, if you like any of the aforementioned genres of music, grab this CD and feel the love. chelseydanfield.net

BOOM POW man this cat is the shizmit of 2019. Hands down. I know every issue I say run out and get this or that, but if you like hard driving Blues music you need to add this to your collection. Christone “Kingfish” Ingram is a new name on the Blues scene that you will hear for decades to come. Weighing in at under 21 years old, this guy has the skills of someone twice his age and tells stories to make you think that he has lived a life of hard times.

Kingfish is an excellent CD by one of the most exciting young guitarists to emerge in years.

Sizzling guitar licks accompany great vocals and serious Blues.

He manages to gets an assist from the legend Buddy Guy on “Fresh Out”. Rolling Stone magazine even compared him to BB King and Jimi Hendrix. If that doesn’t perk your ears up then you need hearing aids. From hard rocking jams like “It Ain’t Right” to slower cuts like “Been Here Before” this CD is the barn-burner from start to finish. Some good harp backs up Kingfish in “If You Love Me” as he tells the tale of that woman who ain’t acting right. In “Love Ain’t My Favorite Word” he slows it down with a nice guitar jam and a velvety vocal expression that has the mic dripping as he tells of the pain he is going through. “She tore my heart to pieces, and she walked right out the door”…preach my brother. Interesting enough, all of the songs on this platter are originals by Kingfish himself. Some songs fast, some slow, some hard rocking, some mellow, this is one great CD from start to finish. You will find yourself playing this CD over and over, so far this is my pick of the year for 2019.

Smooth easy-picking CD by upand-coming Acoustic Maestro Dustin Furlow will have you floating away on the frets of his guitar as he plucks smooth melodies reminiscent of Dan Fogelberg. The 25-year-old songwriter said his inspiration came from recent hiking and camping trips.

They take the shape of his melodies that go back to his experiences in nature. “That’s really one of the unifying themes on the album,” Furlow said. “I wrote about two-thirds of these songs about my experiences in the Shenandoah Mountains, the Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee, and the Cascades in Washington. It really is about painting a landscape with an acoustic guitar.” His first two Cds, “The Sound That You Call Home” and “Solo,” combine guitar and vocals, but this one is purely instrumental. Like an easy day sitting on the porch of a dirt country road watching the occasional car go by, this mellow, easy listening CD is one to pop in and just gel. Some songs slightly faster than others but none that you would call “fast”, this is a great CD by a very talented Guitar Player. Dustin credits Stephen Bennett and Tommy Emmanuel as two of his major influences.

Furlow started out in his pre-teen years being influenced by Santana and Hendrix, but then became entranced by Andy McKee, a fingerstyle guitarist. “The first time I heard him play, that was my ‘light bulb’ moment,” Furlow said. “It blew my mind and set me on a different path. I knew immediately that this was exactly what I wanted to do. “Abigail’s Lullaby”, “Andy’s Gift”, and “The Mirage” are just a few of the great songs on this excellent CD. If you want something that is super-chill to sit back and mellow out to, this is definitely the CD for you.

Punk Rock Vinyl Flashback Sid Vicious Sid Sings Ahh the good old punk rock days of the late 70s/early 80s. Put some safety pins in your ripped up shirt, get a few buttons with edgy sayings, maybe a lock and chain around your neck, some combat boots and ripped up jeans, and you were ready. This underappreciated LP was one of my favorites back in those days.

In this raw gem, Sid sings some Sex Pistol classics as well as some other songs by the Ramones, Johnny Thunders, Iggy Pop and other artists. It was released posthumously on December 15, 1979 and peaked at number 30 on the British album charts. This beauty also contains the epic “My Way” which is way better than the version by that Frank dude.

While the audio quality sounds like someone recorded AM radio on cassette from a distance, the pure energy of the era and the movement is captured perfectly on this masterpiece. I remember there was a big Sid Vicious poster that came with it, and I had it on my wall as a teenager until I got in trouble and my older brother Tom, filling the void of my deadbeat dad, decided to rip it off the wall when I was out one night. Boy was I pissed. Sid, as you know was part of the epic and iconic Sex Pistols who put out such gems as Never Mind The Bollocks and The Great Rock n Roll Swindle, also great records in their own right. I will never forget blasting these records and pretending I was singing as I pogoed around my bedroom with dreams of Punk Rock Superstardom as a kid. Unfortunately Sid made some terrible life choices that cut two lives short. I guess medical school wasn’t a bad second choice after all. If you can find this rare LP, grab it. Then you won’t be “Born to Lose”.

What is your official title and duties at AEG Presents?

I’m the Senior Talent Buyer for AEG. As a Talent Buyer, we communicate with the agents who represent all the bands and help them raptor artists as they tour through our region. We also work with entities like fairs and festivals in cities, municipalities, colleges, and theme parks; we can assist them in securing ballots for any of their events as well.

That would be my specific duty as a promoter. Our company handles all facets of the concerts that we work with. My job, specifically, is to work with the artist and find out when they're looking to come to our territory and help them decide which venues that we believe would be best for them: what the availabilities are in those venues during that timeframe they want to be there, and then we start negotiating the deal onward; how much the artists are going to get paid. This is a factor, the size of the venue determines the ticket price perceived. Draw. It’s all very comprehensive.

How long did it take you, roughly, to start excelling with your career?

That’s an interesting question. I would say that I started excelling right away as I got started, to age myself a little bit, about 20 years now. But you know, I started off looking at some small 14

clubs and and local fairs and festivals in South Florida. I developed a couple relationships with a few clubs around Florida that enabled me to really reach out and build relationships with agents and with artists.

We're always looking for big and great shows, but with a given background level. I can start working with artists as they are first coming to our area, or just starting to tour at a national level and be a part of the process as it starts from the bottom and work their way up.

Bands like Slightly Stoopid, the first time I brought them through us was at a little 600-cap club and you can see now they're selling thousands of tickets at each market around Florida.

It's really exciting to watch growing that.

What are some of the biggest mental tools you can obtain to be successful in this field?

I think it really helps to try and be calm and levelheaded throughout the entire process. I plan on perfect, but I have my moments…

It can be a very stressful environment because most of the things we deal with are on some kind of a deadline.

Whether the tour is looking to announce, so we have to have the deal and our marketing and our ticketing set up in time. You know, the show is going to happen on a certain date, therefore older telemetry actions we

thebeachsideresident.com J U L Y 2 0 1 9

need to take have to be done by that. That's why when we're working with a large volume of shows or dealing with issues as they come up that are typically very time sensitive, you do your very best to try to keep yourself from getting frustrated is a very big help.

Other than that it's really about being reliable. Do what you say you're going to do. Don't ever try to overextend yourself; although that happens from time to time. There are classes and schools you can go to, but it's really just the experience of doing it where you learn as you go and if you can prove that you're reliable, if you prove that you're motivated and hard working, those are really the most important tools. I would say that’s for anything, really, but especially in this industry. I do try to exercise daily.

You know I like to ride my bike. I like to go out with my kids and play any chance that we get. I'd like to say that I could have a better regimen than I do. But just try to make an effort as often as I can. **Interviewer: If you ever need a yoga class, just give me a ring and I’ll head on down there and give you a workout. I’m a yoga teacher for hire! I even provide my own music!

Have you ever fallen down, so to speak, and had to get back up and get yourself motivated again to continue? What was your inspira-

tion to push on?

I don't know that I'd have a specific example other than shows that you really believe in and they don't sell the tickets you want them to sell and you end up losing a lot of money, fighting really hard for a deal that doesn't happen. You know, that that could definitely get to you and you definitely need to be able to dust yourself off, get right back up and keep moving. The industry is very fluid. There are concerts happening all the time. Even if it's not one of my shows and I see another show doing well, or if I see people getting excited about a show come to town then that makes me excited because they get to feel the health of it all. But I hate using just industry. Vegas is an easy way to put it. The health of that industry is there, there's a local community that’s into those shows and that’s what makes it exciting to go to these shows. I think watching a lot of the others around me definitely motivates me to keep going.

If there was one word you could use to explain your experience so far while working as a SENIOR TALENT BUYER, what would it be?

It sounds cliché, but I’d say “Exhilarating”. You know there are ups and downs in what we do. I’ve felt the lowest of the lows and the

highest of the highs.

Like I said before, if the show doesn't turn out as well as you like or, God forbid, there's a cancellation, weather issues that may prevent the show, that lends to a lot of stress.

That can my the job very difficult. Back to what I've said about trying to keep a level head, you really get tested to see how much you can handle. Then there are other times where a new artist comes through and does really well, people get very excited and the show happens and it's all fantastic; you see nothing but smiling faces everywhere you look. If there are issues that happen throughout the day but you're able to overcome them … those are all really great feelings. So there's a lot of highs and lows and I think they’re all exhilarating.

Maintaining a successful career takes a lot of work and commitment, how much time do you dedicate towards your work?

We are, truthfully, always on call. I say we're like doctors except nobody really gives a shit about what we do. Just kidding.

If the show happens at night, for the most part, you do find yourself needing to be available even if I am not physically at the show; not covering that day of show. If there is an issue that comes up and someone’s going to need to reach me at night, well I need to be available.

If there is a question, as I mentioned before, things can be incredibly time sensitive.

So, if those things come up late at night, or early in the morning, you really need to always be available. At least I think that you should be, because the people you work with want you to be available.

You want to show that you're there and you're motivated to be that man or woman that can handle everything.

There are other times that I can take a little more time and sort of shut off, which I recommend too from time to time, but I feel that it's very important for people to think that I'm reliable; to know that I'm accessible. Often times, is if there's an issue and I have to be that person to make the decision, or maybe the only person with certain specific information that can help alleviate what that situation is, I definitely always need to be on call. But I wouldn't say that I'm sitting at my computer working 24/7.

How do you find new artists?

Everywhere I can! I try to read a lot of blogs and look online to hear what some of the trades are mentioning.

I spend a lot of time talking with my friends and some of the people that come to our shows; it really is organic.

Especially with the access that everybody has, there’s no one or two specific ways

you can receive the music.

It comes from everywhere.

Maybe I hear a song in a commercial while I’m just browsing through YouTube or Spotify and something pops up; it really does comes from everywhere.

A lot of times agents or managers will reach out to me with an artist they're working with. I can be at a show and see what T-shirts or hats some of the kids are wearing.

If it's an artist I haven’t heard of yet, I’ll definitely want to check and see who they are.

What trade publications did you use to keep you on top of your craft?

Oh, there's so many. Billboard and Polestar are two of the bigger industry publications. Rolling Stones, the magazine, as well. There are online blogs like Pitchfork. com and GorillavsBear.com; there are so many different blogs. There are reggae blogs, there’s indie music blogs, there are blogs that kind of specify country music; so I really try to at least pay attention to as much as I can. Also taking a look at the local weekly magazine such as “This Video” or maybe “The New Times" in south Florida or the “Creative Loafing” in Tampa. They give a good gauge on what some people are focusing on from community to community.

Sometimes I may hear of a band that nobody's heard of, or maybe everybody's heard of a band that I haven't heard of. So it's good to see which acts end up getting on other people's radar.

What genre of music do you lean towards, personally?

Does it have an effect on you finding talent?

Well I guess there's a little difference, the truth is, I like all kinds of music from jazz, to blues, to heavy metal, electronica, reggae; if it's good it's good. You know that that's kind of the way that I look at it. I like to try to focus on on acts that I see are selling tickets or that have something going on, but there's a bit of a separation between what I may be a personal fan of and what I'm booking. Because I am booking everything in multiple genres of entertainment, so I don't limit what I work with to just what I like … although I do like most of what I book.

Last but not least, what advice you can give someone to help along the way to a successful career in the music industry?

I actually love that question.

I think that it's all about getting out there and getting involved. Yeah! There are TONS of events in EVERY

community across the country, whether it's a city event or a local beer fest and they have talent… if there’s a little dive bar that brings in rock bands or any kind of band, sometimes from out of state or even out of the country, go! Even if there's 10 people there, those are 10 people who are into music - whether it's about that artist or whatever it may be - you know, there's a community there.

I don't think studying alone could get you a job or give you a success in this industry. I think you have to be out there, and it's a bit cliche to say that you have to network, but it’s about getting out there and meeting people, going to a local band show and hang out at the merch table. Talk to the people who are there! Go to a national concert or a big club or even an arena, talk to the merch person. There’s merch, there’s publishing, there’s touring, there’s recording, there’s live music, there's the technical side… There are so many facets of the industry that you can get involved in and have direct contact with those artists, that puts you right in there with the music.

It's all worth it! You know, there's usually a person selling merch for the band, as I mentioned before, and they're on a bus going from city to city with the band as well.

J U LY 2 0 1 9

The tour manager, the production manager, the artist, the guitar tech; don’t feel like you have to jump right in to being a booker or run a club or a venue or things like that to get you in the industry. It’s you talking to me right now, it’s this interview where we're getting to know more about each other. We're not working… maybe there is some reason that I need something from you guys or we’re doing something media related.

It’s like “I just spoke to that person and we did this… and they're in this market and their specialty is ‘this’.” It's not just that black and white.

So if you're willing to really just get out there and go do it and go meet people and show that you're out there, that you're excited, that you're motivated to to work, that you're willing to do it…. well, you’re going to get noticed.

Wise words from a man who’s had his finger on the pulse of the music industry for two decades. I know I’ve got some friends reading this… sit up straight and pay attention - this is GOLD!

Q: Knowing what you know today, if you could give your 18-yearold self-advice, what would it be ?

Oooofff, Ooooff, man, you know what, I don’t think I’d say anything , because, it’s so funny that even to this day. You know, to not know what is gonna happen, that is probably the quintessential ingredient in what we do and what we enjoy.

You know that we haven’t rehearsed together in years. I mean some bands work hard at the craft and they play music together all day and create music together and jam all the time.

We literally don’t do that. We write music together, and play it together at sound check because we don’t know it yet. Like for instance, to just kind of validate it. I wrote a song originally called Hypnotized. I showed it to the first band we went on tour with, Slightly Stoopid, and a band who we’ve never toured with before Stick Figure, don’t know those guys at all.

The first day we happened to be parked next to them on the bus. I get on the bus, I see Scott the lead singer, great guy, I was like, “hey how’s it going ?”

We start kicking things

around; he’s showing me some music. I was showing him music. He was like, “hey man what’s this song ?

It sounds good. Hey do you want to work together”. I was like, “Cool of course”. Two months later we’ve got what you now hear as “ Warning”. So fun, so cool. Literally that comes from collaboration. Nothing was pre conceived. That just stems from the fun aspect of chemistry, where you never know what’s going to happen. Then we decided spontaneously to get together and play the song together with Stick Figure at Red Rocks @ 420 for the first time. So that live from Red Rocks DVD that we shot, that was literally the first time we played that song together; we never rehearsed it or practiced it. And that’s the type of spontaneity that I love and enjoy ; that’s the essence of Pepper.

It keeps it fresh, and that’s the stuff I love!!

Q: When you think of Cocoa Beach, what first comes to your mind?

Oh my god. The Storm Club! I think of the station, AKA, Slater, Slater, Slater homestead, Kelly, Skippy, Sean, opening up their home to us, back in the day and letting us kind of scoop in there and just enjoy. Even on tour. We just take a nice tour break, three or four days and just enjoy that Cocoa Beach lifestyle, you know ? Rolling over to Ron Jon’s and just getting absolutely hooked up by the boys. It honestly, it kind of reminds me of the closest you can come to Kona town but in Florida, you know, a small town, but a real ton of feels! House parties, I mean, the whole she-bang. I remember playing Storm Club. I remember that cabaret that was there too. As close to Kona town as you’re going to come in Florida. A little bit of everything : surfing ,

and like just so hungover and still drinking beers, drinking Busch beers in honor of Papa Slater out there with the boys.

You know, everyone just kind of coming together and enjoying and kind of talking about the night before.

People getting tattooed by Mark Longenecker and people hanging out at Coconuts and Beach Shack.

I feel like, that’s the closest I feel to Kona town in the United States, is in Cocoa Beach. It’s a special little town.

Q: Where do you see yourself musically in 5 years maybe 10 years ?

Something challenging , something fun. I don’t know, maybe like doing covers of my favorite heavy metal songs, but doing them all reggae, and making them super dope.

You know, something like that just for fun.

Or who knows, maybe now that I live back in Europe part time, maybe just Jgetting U L Y 2 0out 19

there and doing that again, just like doing some European time. It’s been a long time, so maybe bringing Pepper out or bring the Bad Habits out and do that. Just making music and enjoying it, man. In all honesty, I couldn’t ask for anything that’s more fulfilling. It doesn’t get old because you get to write a bunch of great stories, and a brand-new batch of new tunes all the time, touring and playing with brand new artists. I mean we’ve done this you know, almost… 23 years. We’ve been doing this since we were kids. We started touring when I was in high school, man. So, this is all I’ve ever known.

I value it and I love it so, so, so much. Just find new ways to get involved in music and the music scene.

Whether it’s signing new bands, writing songs for new artist, old artist, it doesn’t matter. Or, just touring with my band is amazing , it really is.

Love it my brother!!

I appreciate sharing stories with my friend!

Love you to pieces!

Will talk soon!! Aloha Nui....seeee yaaa thebeachsideresident.com

MONEYTALK

“I was born with nothing and I still have most of it left.” Option players are similar to compulsive gamblers. With varying degrees of experience, most will walk away with less than they started with. There are ways to use options in a positive manner, but we’ll save that for now and start with the destructive side because it’s more fun.

Let’s start with some basic terms. As usual, I’ll save the more in-depth stuff for the web site. Options are contracts that rise and fall in value based on the value of an underlying asset.

There are two types of options: calls and puts. Every option has an expiration date.

Calls are a contract to buy, meaning if you have one call option to buy XYZ stock, you have the right to buy XYZ at a specific price until some future date. So imagine you spent a couple hundred dollars and bought this contract that guarantees you can buy 100 shares of XYZ for $25. Later that day, XYZ announces a new product will make them tons of money.

The great news drives their stock price from $25 per share to $50. The stock doubled in price but the call option you bought for $200 is now worth $2500. Giddyup.

Put options are a contract to sell and perform the opposite of calls. The value of a put will go up if the underlying stock goes down. It’s like skating on the other side of the ice.

The appeal of options is obvious. Investment loss is limited to the original cost, in this case $200. Potential gain is enormous as illustrated. But alas, there’s a hook.

Options are priced to fail. If this is doesn’t scare you away, read it again until it does. The most likely outcome is the stock will wiggle around and go nowhere and the option expires worthless. Maybe you’re out $200. Maybe you bought 10 contracts and you’re out $2000. Either way, it’s a 100% loss.

Don’t buy options. Calls or Puts.

HOROSCOPES Cancer Happy birthday, Cancer!

It’s felt like a long year for you; you’re ready for new life chapters closer to what the heart values. There’s this fated feeling that something must change, yet the biggest change you are experiencing is within yourself. You decide to create your life. Let newness be your anthem this year and may you be led by the greater pull of what you love.

Leo Welcome to summer, Leo! These long hot days have returned and along with it, your energy levels and inspiration. Moments of solitude and rest are essential to distinguishing and truly knowing what you’ve been feeling, what your needs are, and what best serves your creative endeavors. Take plenty of time this month to dive deep into your inner world and discover what has been waiting for you to bring to life.

Virgo Virgo, when was the last time you really allowed yourself to be at ease and truly open in the company of friends? You are naturally reserved and keep your energies well refined to create a filter of protection when it comes to close dealings. This is a gift! Yet over time, your natural guard can create feelings of alienation and separation.

There is great cathartic healing in allowing yourself to become open and vulnerable in the company of friends you deeply trust.

Libra The light is shining on you this month at work, Libra! You’ve been pouring your heart (as you always do) into the work you produce and it surely shows. So what comes next from here? Rest assured, you are so valued and the good you have sown will be the good you shall reap.

Keep designing your goals and climb on! Your own momentum that you’ve created lovingly backs you.

Scorpio Dear Scorpio, you need to let the massive waves of emotional energy surging through your body out through healthy outlets.

This is another one of your greatest lessons: to channel your intensity into regenerative outlets rather than destructive ones. In July, your energy would be greatly benefitted by travel.

The newness of different cultures, landscapes, sounds and textures nourish and invigorate your senses. Allow yourself to be swept away by the currents other than your own.

Sagittarius You may feel like you are on fire this month, Sagittarius. But that’s nothing that isn’t to love, right?

Take the time to cool it down so that you don’t end up burning out or burning others. You are all about expansion, yet it is so essential to ground down those feelings of invincibility with healthy reality.

Your close friends, family, bank account, and ultimately your own back will thank you.

Capricorn There’s a lunar eclipse happening this month in your sign, Capricorn.

If the events of the past year haven’t already been prompting you to evaluate what is and isn’t bearing fruit in your life, let yourself be open to the themes prominent in the month of July to show you what isn’t sparking fulfillment so that you can redirect your focus to what truly matters to you.

Aquarius It is scientific law that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only transformed. For you Aquarius, this is theme for July. It’s time for reorganization, relocation, redefining and re-strategizing. We’ve made it to the second half of the year. You feel unwilling to compromise and accept what is hindering you from your goals. What’s been weighing down in your mind? Start there and

CROSSWORD

Music Makes the World Go 'Round

may the transformations commence!

Pisces Life is a gift! What are your gifts, Pisces? What are your talents? What is so uniquely your own? How do you shine your brightest? Life is meant to be a personal journey of self-discovery and expression. It is our birthright to become whole and healthy beings. This July do what makes you feel most vital and expressive, you are a divine creator/creatress!

Aries It’s eclipse season, Aries!

As someone who is always ready for anything, it’s too easy to fall into fight-orflight mode. Your nervous system is in need of tuning and winding down. Taking time to rest in your home base would benefit you greatly. Don’t worry, you won’t miss out on much!

Rest up for the adventures coming your way next month.

Taurus Quality over quantity is an important theme for you, Taurus. Oftentimes, excess is the very thing that leaves us feeling depleted. There is beauty in simplicity.. the good company of a close friends, nourishing home-cooked meals, days scheduled for relaxation rather than activity. Savor the summer through quality time spent with those closest to you to celebrate the little things, free of stress and excess debt. Less is truly more!

Gemini Focus, focus, focus, Gemini! Or so you try! It is all too easy and natural for you to pick up new projects and hobbies. You are a jack-of-all-trades, yet the shadow of this is that these tendencies leave your energies scattered with a short list of projects completed.

You can achieve anything so long as you don’t overestimate your capacity. You have the ability! Just ensure your dedication comes from the heart and not from impulse.

Dear Fursey, I met a girl, who I really like, but she is domineering and I am a bit on the feminine side.

You see, I am still mad that Hillary lost and she is Team Trump. People realize this when we go out and say she is the one with the cojones.

What can I do to manup and take the reigns?

I’m tired of being the catcher while she is on the pitcher’s mound.

Roger Carrera, Melbourne Dear Girly-Man: It’s time to realize that 2016 is, like the Smithereens said, “Only A Memory”. Maybe you should send Nolan Ryan over to my house so I can grab the bat and smack some balls. After I nail a few over the fence, you can get some tips on how to hit home runs. I’ll even sell you tickets in the skybox.

Dear Fursey, I joined the Air Force to see the world. I’ve seen it. How do I get out?

Airman 1st Class Chris Murphy, Patrick AFB Dear Flyboy: First thing I would suggest is to start marching

around base like a WW2 SS Guard. When anyone speaks to you, demand that they call you “Colonel Wilhelm Klink” and refer to yourself as such, except in third person. If anyone asks you anything, tell them “ I see nothing…NOTHING”.

Walk up to random superior officers and proclaim, “I’m warning you, thirty days in the cooler!” You should be getting asked to leave shortly thereafter.

Dear Fursey: I am a long distance trucker with a young pretty wife and no kids. What can I do about all of the Violence, Sex, Nudity, and Porn on my DVR? Neither my wife nor me watch this stuff.

Mack, Cocoa Dear Red Sovine: Sorry to break this to you, but that little kitty of yours has been sharing the litterbox while you are playing Smokey and The Bandit. Maybe next time come home a day early and see who is opening up your can J U LY 2 0 1 9

of tuna fish while you are ridin’ ole Giddy Up Go. Then you can lay the hammer down…on their heads.

Dear Fursey: I’m a cis hetero male married to a cis hetero female. We’ve been together for five years.

We have a great sex life except for the frequency.

We are both very kinky and enjoy experimenting with new techniques. We both enjoy each other intimately and please each other. The issue is that I am fine with sex once a week while my wife wants it 2-3 times a day. I just can’t make that happen I am afraid if I don’t keep up she may try to find an alternative, albeit real or battery powered.

What can I do?

Mr. Softee, Indiatlantic Dear Limpy: Maybe you should send her over to Fursey’s Kielbasi Palace, where the Sausage is always smoking hot 24 hours a day.

Firm with a snap, these coils are always spicy.

Either that or stock up on AAs.
