J: THEN we got Zeebo on loan as a prototype service droid.
Apparently Wazoo got a bit of extra hazard pay from MurfTech
for testing him out in a stressful environment, and you
don't get much more stressed-out than a musician. They
discontinued the line, which makes it kinda hard to find
replacement parts. Anyway, a local record contractor from
Bad Productions heard us, we signed up, expecting to maybe
record a CD2 we could maybe give to a few relatives. Boom,
overnight success. Who'd have known?

That is true, who would have known? It certainly was a
surprise to everybody when their first release, "Smells Like
Something Died in Here" shot to number one, even faster than
Mental Asylum's "Buy This Record, We Know Where You Live". We
asked Jim Bob about this, who was busy serving breakfast muffins
to the tour staff two tents over.

JIM BOB: It certainly was a surprise, yes. I enquired as to why
I was chosen for such honors from my master, Uru-
sensei. "You are Jim Bob," was his only reply. When I
understand the meaning behind those words, I shall
understand my role in this life.
MR: And you're originally from..?
JB: New York, on Terra.
MR: Funny, you'd think it'd be the other way around.
JB: Nani?
MR: Well, Joey is from Japan, but he talks somewhat like a North
American city sprawler, and you're from the North American
city sprawl and speak like a karate expert.
JB: To be techincal, a Wae Spat expert.
MR: Yes, please explain how you came to invent that fighting
style.
JB: I had been studying under my master for many years, but had
not found the way to true enlightenment through the art of
cracking heads yet. My master suggested I accept a 24 hour
work period, and return to him with any revelations I found
in my task. 14 hours in, a masked man entered the
McSpackle's restaurant, and I found myself disarming and
disabling the man armed only with a pair of spatulas. It
was then that I realized my path, the Way of the Spatula.
MR: Sounds silly.
JB: Much that is different and unique is passed off as
simple foolery.

This is as far as the conversation went, as a roadie for
Euphoria showed up with an order for 20 flapjacks, and Jim Bob
had to get back to his volunteer work. Fortunately, on the way
back to the press trailer, we met up with Wazoo, who was busy
eating something out of a box behind the Stomach Contents
trailer.
