Dry Cleaner: INXS
Can I help you, young man?
Actually I think I can help you, because I'm here to pick up the dry cleaning of one of the greatest rock bands in the world - INXS.
I've got goose bumps - you got a ticket?
I don't think you understood me, brother. I'm here for INXS, and they are looking for a dry cleaner. You play your cards right and you could be that dry cleaner.
I ain't your brother, and if you got no ticket you get no laundry, got it?
It's all right, mate. Dave has been empowered to act on behalf of the band.
Listen, Ringo - I don't care if he's been blessed by the Pope, either fork over a ticket or get the hell outta here.
Right - here's your ticket, mate.
Now you're talking, sport. Here's your clothes. At least I think they're your clothes - looks like you've got a ladies outfit in there.
No, this is mine. You see this outfit? There's one just like it hanging in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Big deal. You see these pants? There's three more pair just like them hanging in my closet at home.
Listen, mate - I know you're a professional, and you're good at what you do, but I'm afraid these shirts have a bit too much starch for our band, INXS.
You asked for heavy starch, that's heavy starch. You don't like it, you got no one to blame but yourself, buddy.
Listen, bro - what's your name?
Puddintane.
Right, listen, Puddintane - you know I think you're a total star, man. I mean, your martinizing, your pressing, your alterations - it's a triple threat, man. But, just keeping it real here, man - your dry cleaning could use some work. I just don't think it's right for INXS.
Are you on crack?
We're going to leave you now, mate, and I'm afraid we won't be back.
You're breakin' my heart, here.
The band's leaving now, and I'm afraid they won't be back.
I ain't deaf, toots.
Rock on, Puddintane!
Yeah, yeah - don't let the door hit you in the ass.
Peace out, brother.
Hit the bricks, already! Some of us have to work for a living, you know.
Sumbitches didn't pay me.
Update: Ace doesn't much care for JD. Can't say as I blame him. Tre is blogging the show every night.
UPDATE II: This is pretty damned funny.
It is nice to see Brooke Burke is still playing a vital role in this process.

You got Puddintane's phone #? I'm strangely attracted to his devil-may-care defiance of the cultural and coroporate authorities represented by ICKS. What a stud!

Hey, I think that's the guy who lost my favorite pair of dress pants...No, sorry, that was a Chinese guy...Sorry. No, really, I'm sorry.

Pile, I think you meant:
It is nice to see Brooke Burke ....

Hey, cool it, Robin and KJ. What do you think this is, Benny Hill?

I have absolutely no idea what is going on here, but I'm laughing myself sick.

If you actually laugh yourself sick, you may be in need of a dry cleaner...

I can't understand, for the life of me, what people see in that show.

I'm sensing a "washed up" theme here. Suits.

I tried to dry clean Brooke Burke once.
She didn't stay dry, though.
Neither did I.
I should probably stop right now.

Dude, that is funny!

Thanks for the kudos, John.

This kills me--a week and a half later and I'm STILL laughing! That show has got to be the lamest crap, EVER. It makes American Idol look good (I can't believe I'm saying that) in comparison.

my favorite part of the show is when whoever is onstage all these 80 yr old dudes from inxs all start playin air guitar ,drums etc..who was clamoring for an inxxs reunion anyway? dave nivarro is unintentionally hilarious...great post your a triple threat man

Puddintane? That's freakin' awesome.
I've got a question. Is it too late to ditch Navarro for Regis or something? Seriously. Who's with me?
Posted by: Paladin | August 17, 2005 at 06:37 PM
Do you think Brooke and Dave are doing the wild thing?
Posted by: barby | September 13, 2005 at 08:49 AM
Dude, got tears in my eyes. That is too funny. Martinizing is a funny, funny word...and Brooke, too funny.
Thanks, made my week.

Hilarious. I just saw a dry cleaner in Los Angeles website that you might be interested in. Why? I have no idea. But the site is kind of cool.
