[bUTTHOLEmAN]

Does anyone know/read of/ remember/ where the name "King Buzzo" came from?  I can't remember.

[anaconda]

buzzo is a conjunction of buzz osborne, but king, i'm not sure

this might be one of those questions that really doesn't have an answer worth anything.

like why the girls in high school always called me "honey balls".    never did get that.

Maybe he's a fan of the peppermint brand.



Or, as I just read in HEAVIER THAN HEAVEN, he named himself King because he liked to treat all the Melvins cling-ons as servants, boss everybody around. OR, and that's my guess, because he RULES.

[anaconda]

actually there might be something to that, in the same way
that all the jamaican dub stars call themselves 'king',
like king tubby, king jammy, king sunny ade etc.
and treat the musicians as subordinates

your pun phenomenologically sucks.

Hey man you suck!

There was no pun. Not that I know of, so there wasn't any, right?

 If you're ever driving around upstate/western NY and you see a bumper sticker that says BUZZO, it's not what you think. There's a record/CD/instrument store in Geneseo NY called Buzzo's. The guy has been in business for like 30 yrs, and he's sort of a local legend. Really cool store, really weird, nice guy. I saw him once bust out his trumpet and jam with some bands at a bar. He was wearing just a bathrobe. It was great.

Pick your King:

1) Jesus

2) Elvis

3) Buzzo


Yea I stole this from PI. This would make a great t-shirt.

Back when I was on the nerd list I asked Dan Raymond, he said Tom Flynn started calling him that.

You know, there is a very interesting story behind the whole King Buzzo name. Would you care to hear it? I warn you now, it is an epic tale that will take about a week to read through and it will probably change your life. It's a very complex story with many twists and turns.

[norecess]

Those kind of stories are usually the best. The ones that change your life.

[bUTTHOLEmAN]

This sentence will change your life if you follow it completely:  Wink at the next person you see. 
That is all.

[bUTTHOLEmAN]

I think it's a guy who collects bugs.
