Alas, two weeks late, I have come to satisfy your white board quip desires.

“She was extremely short for her weight. I figure, ’bout seven feet.”

WBQotW #18 comes from a song called “Count ‘Em Up Queek”. It’s the story of a weary soul who goes on an inexpensive vacation and runs into “Mona, the mmmonkey woman” who is described in our quip of the week.

The band, if you can call them that, is called 2NU (pronounced “too new”) and specializes in off beat, eclectic ballads rich with sound effects and back masking. 2NU’s claim to fame was a song called “Ponderous” that enjoyed a short stint on the pop charts back in the early nineties and lead me to buy the cassette. This was the impetus that eventually lead me to be a fan of Doctor Demento.

I received the Ponderous CD as a gift. It was my first ever CD, and since I did not have a CD player, I never opened the box. Now that I think about it, it was a rare and no longer available long box. Oooh. Where did I put that thing?!
