Me, I like melted cheese on my hot dogs. And more often than not I slap plenty of hot sauce on my morning ration of scrambled eggs. Factor in the notion that I’m basically a loud-mouth grobian who’d rather guffaw than grimace, and there’s little reason why I shouldn’t be on the right side of [the band] Sex Mob and their second opus de squawk.
