Fave America Pix: #8

The Alligator and the Guru

This is Aaron ‘Alligator’ Andrews, our man in Seattle. We met in Portugal in ’02 and instantly hit it off. When I visited him on his home turf in September last year, we dropped in on one of his regular bars, where I met a great bunch of people and played some amusing pool.
A highlight of the evening was finding a stack of very dubious vinyl in a corner, and coming across the outstandingly cheesy cover image for the Guru Josh album “Infinity (1990s… Time for the Guru)”. Here, Aaron gives his best rendering of the Guru’s cover pose.
Yeah, this image is in here simply because it makes me laugh out loud every time I see it. Share the love, baby.
Hey – anyone ever heard of Guru Josh? I’d love to actually hear some of his music, although I suspect it’d be more properly referred to as “music”.
(Incidentally, Aaron’s now perhaps the only person in North America with a copy of Cow, that silly and fun card game by Matt and Debz. You reading, Matt and Debz?)

  1. I love this picture. It makes me look especially passionate. And by passionate, I mean severely mocking a horrible record.
    On the Cow tip, I personally can think of few better ways to have “organized shouting” at a party of drunkards, besides, perhaps karaoke. I have introduced it to many people, including my Grandma at Thanksgiving. Nothing better than having to have your gramma make the decision of who she’s going to kill. “I have to kill one of you?!? That’s rotten!” I loved it.
    I also want to point out something that Morgan forgot- Dodgeball. We introduced him – and hopefully- NZ to the game. When I finally make my way there, I expect a solid underground of ballers that I can show how we roll in Seattle, which is how Morgan? With our shit off safety.

  2. We are reading, Morgue. Thank you for your distribution of Cow into the Northern Hemisphere. There are several Canadians and some Japanese people who have our games, and in 2005 one of Debbie’s students took 3 copies of Cow to NASA space camp, and left them there for the NASA crew to enjoy.
