Who the hell are you guys / girl?
Penny: Penny, the girl…ooh!

Influences?

Mr. Bojangles: Carnival life in general.
Shawn: Davey Jones, Karl Marx, onion pizza, The Avengers, The Angry Samoans, public transportation, The Reds, Catholic guilt, Gary Glitter, tabloid television, Sex Pistols, the Highland neighborhood, The Ramones, The Stooges…Larry, Moe, and Curly, and The Slits.

Favorite Bands?

Dick: The Tampon Crusaders, The Unwanted Tubal Pregnancies, VOM.
Mr. Bojangles: The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.
Penny: Head bands! They are the greatest! I'm trying to get Mr. Bojangles to sport one but he's afraid of looking gay. He's pretty macho.

Favorite shows played?

Penny: One time Dick and I went to Oasis to watch a naked girl dance. She had like a world record amount of pubic hair…all the way up to her belly button but she still thought she was hot. That was cool.
Mr. Bojangles: The International Guacamole Festival in Montreal.
Dick: This one show, there were a pair of panties from this nasty chick being tossed around. They were soaked in beer and glass from being on the floor. Well, they ended up in Shawn's hands and he squeezed them in his mouth-panty juice, beer, and glass-Shawn swallowed it all.

Most embarrassing moment?

Penny: One time, I fell right in front of Dick and he tried to step over me, but he stepped on my face and somersaulted into the crowd. I thought my jaw was broken but I was too drunk to tell. That's not really embarrassing though. I get really embarrassed when Shawn wears this blue shirt with polka dots. He looks like he's ready for a PJ party. Or when he wears his cardboard tie…now that's embarrassing.
