“Times are so tough that we’re even considering holding a cum drive charity event to restock our reserves.”

Gwar, often stylized as GWAR, is an American heavy metal band formed in Richmond, Virginia, in 1984, composed of and operated by a frequently rotating line-up of musicians, artists, and filmmakers collectively known as Slave Pit Inc.
...
Identified by their distinctively grotesque costumes, Gwar's core thematic and visual concept revolves around an elaborate science fiction-themed mythology which portrays the band members as barbaric medieval nordic, mythological, biblical or interplanetary warriors, a narrative which serves as the basis for all of the band's albums, live shows and media. With over-the-top violent, sexual, and scatological humor typically incorporating social and political satire, Gwar has attracted both acclaim and controversy for its music and stage shows, the latter of which notoriously showcase enactments of graphic violence that result in the audience being sprayed with fake blood, urine, and semen. Such stagecraft regularly leads Gwar to be labeled a "shock rock" band by the media. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwar

Bummer. The fake cum and blood were the only reasons to see a GWAR show. It's not like anybody shows up for the music.

I'm a Republican who does their Own Research and this is FALSE because GWAR isn't Real!

GWAR interviews cracked me up so much as a kid. Their commitment to the bit is awesome.

Dave was a lot better about staying in character than Mike is. There is an Opie & Anthony interview with Oderus and they could not get him to break character, then Oderus left and Dave comes in and they could not get him to admit he is Oderus.

While Mike sells Blöthar well, he does not have the commitment Dave did.

Obvious bait. A republican would never use "their".

Best headline of the month

I'm glad Oderus didn't have to deal with this shit.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago (2 children)

FAKE cum??? Uhhhhhhh........yeah, sure. Fake.

You have any idea how expensive the real stuff is? The amount of anime figurines required alone makes it unobtainium.

[–] JimVanDeventer@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's only cum if it's from the seminal vesicles in France. Otherwise, it's just sparkling semen.

[–] zod000@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's been fake since Oderus died. Blothar is fine, but he just doesn't have the supply at his age to fill all those drums for each show.

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Blöthar produces 4 times as much, he has four cum udders vs one cuttlefish.

[–] zod000@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 days ago

lmao, ok you clearly have more detailed Blothar biology information that I do, so I'll assume you're correct.
