Erik's 1980s holiday answering machine outgoing message

Bye

Wildlife I see daily

garrison keillor

Katie scored some sweetass tickets to garrison keillor, a stool and a microphone. There were a lot of acapella song stories about the habits of his 8 aunts and places along the mississippi. It is like watching stephen wright if he were 30 years older, old timey and hated lutherans. Or IS that stephen wright?

I named the performance: His Cousin, Whom I Knew Somewhat Well, Died Too

"I would lose my head if it wasn't attached to me."

"I resemble that remark."

"Great minds think alike."

"Another day, another dime."

"Mazel tov" (when things break).

"Don't do anything I wouldn't do."

If Erik was in the MLB.
