If there is a surefire way to make me think you are an idiot, right to the point where I want to throw my own dung at you, telling me that there is no such thing as overpopulation would be top of the list.

So in the interests of widening some worlds to better art and music even further, I believe it is time to answer the question of who the hell the Butthole Surfers are and where the best place to go for an introduction is.
