The best musicians wanted ad I've seen in a while...

[Slevage]

Posted in the Austin, TX Musicians Wanted Facebook group:

I'm always looking for keys, bass and drums for a rock/funk project. I love Long John Silver's and if you join my band, we can all go together as a band and I'll get each of you a crab cake. 'A crab cake at Long John Silver's' you ask? Yes, it's actually really great for it's price point. I don't care what's actually in it, but it IS delicious fried goodness, and it very much satisfies the soul. Also, I highly recommend subbing the pollock for the cod upgrade. Also, if you've never tried the shrimp with Louisiana hot sauce on them, you ain't livin' bruh. Anyway, I play four or five original Tunes and then some assorted standards/covers like Chameleon, The Chicken, Fly Like an Eagle and Cissy Strut.

Pollock for cod is not a step up
Cod for pollock any day.
I’m a New Englander, and have reeled both in.

Now I want a crab cake, but not a Long John Silvers crabcake.

Is that a real crabcake? Or a … Sears crabcake?

 

[Miles_ONeal]

I imagine that ad will attract some really good musicians

In Austin? Heck, yeah.

Anyone who likes shrimp is automatically a friend of mine!

A friend of shrimp lovers is a friend of mine. If I get home before daylight, I just might get some shrimp tonight.

'Crabcake' should be one word.

For some reason that reminded me of this lyric from Frank Zappa’s “Florentine Pogan”:

“THAT’S THE KIND OF SOUND SHE MAKES

…WHEN HER CRABCAKES”

I wonder if Zappa thought it should be one word or two?

Is that a real crabcake? Or a … Sears crabcake?

It’s a Mexican crab cake. My friend used to get crabs every time he visited Mexico.

 

[Holdsg]

Long John Silvers? No thanks

Make that In-N-Out…now we are talking’!

Sounds like a bass player by the stupid way he/she uses the phrase "price point". Just like everyone on talkbass.

I've never checked the validity of this but I heard growing up that Dunkin Donuts were the first to go from doughnut to donut and their popularity was so big they changed the spelling of it in the dictionary. If that is true it's wild to me that years later they would throw the word that legit changed the spelling of it right into a bin and say to start calling them "dunkin"

DON'T MIND IF I DO!

Whoever told Al Pacino he could do comedy needs to be punched in the face.

To be fair, it's metacomedy. There's some context that comes after that changes things significantly.
