OTTER KING: MAN OF LEISURE

interview by Tom Lomax

Hello!

hi there. I'm a gemini

How are you?

ask me five years from now. MASH is on tv.

So what is going on with the Menthol Kings right now?

i'm not really sure. there is a lot of confusion. it's a band geared around practicing in a small basement and hyping itself to a point where they can't top the hype. i drink and sit around waiting for something to happen. wilson does something out in the western area of the state and King Rex is always up to no good.

Why do women seem to hate you so much, but continue to fornicate with you?

One word: ALCOHOL.

How would you spend the perfect evening?

First, I would cook up a tasty Totino's Party Pizza (cheese of course ladies) and then I would get filthy drunk with my guy pals like KingRex or The Cloth. After hanging out with the guys I would call up the old lady (who would be waiting by the phone all night) around 3am. I'd than go climb through her window and sing her a song off of 2 Live Crew's "as nasty as they wanna be" album. I would then fornicate, talk and make the old lady watch any number of David Lynch movies before I hit the road.

Which bands in Atlanta make you physically ill?

I think "whippersnapper" is the only one that really makes me want to throw up and truly make me sick.

What is the best way to get drunk or laid?

Best way to get drunk? Pour alcohol down your throat. Getting laid is an artform that only the master's can perfect and there's no way I'd reveal my secrets to you smucks.

Any advice for the fans?

Send us money and make us successful so I can breathe easier.

Will you ever work again?

I'm trying very hard not to. But it is inevitable in the longrun. I will work but for myself or my friends and it will be fun.

Are you seeing anyone right now?

I'm not really sure. Ask me in two years, I'm feeling quite dizzy.

well thank you Otter for taking time out of your life to talk to us!

No problem. Time to get back to work.

take care

gidyup...we don't need no stinkin badgers.
