Weekend Cup O’Chiefs
We are now three months and change away from the start of the 2009 NFL regular season.
If you are interested in purchasing tickets to see the Chiefs at Arrowhead this coming season, a phone call to the team’s ticket department will provide this information: plenty of good seats are available for all 10 home games.
And I mean plenty.
The Chiefs are going to struggle to sellout Arrowhead this season. It was a struggle last season and while nobody will provide any real numbers, season ticket renewals were at their lowest levels in the last 20 years.
None of this comes as much of a surprise given the team’s 6-26 record the last two seasons. The one thing I’ve learned in 28 years of living in Kansas City is that sports fans here answer with their wallets. Places like New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Pittsburgh, those towns will buy tickets no matter whether their teams are contenders, pretenders or also rans. They will pay to cheer success and pay to boo failure
Kansas City fans won’t do that. If there’s no belief the team can be successful, they answer by keeping their bankroll.
There’s another factor the Chiefs are fighting this year when it comes to selling tickets, and his name is Zack Greinke.
In the last 20 years the Royals have never really been a competitor with the Chiefs for the disposal income of local sports fans. In the last 20 years, the Chiefs did not win a championship, but they had winning seasons 14 times. Over those same 20 seasons, the Royals finished with five winning seasons and none since 2003.
Now the Royals are a competitor for the ticket money, or more accurately, they are when No. 23 is on the mound.
Greinke has become one of the best pitchers in baseball this season, as he sits with an 8-1 record before his start on Sunday against the Chicago White Sox. By the time this weekend series ends, the Royals will have seen over 600,000 fans come into the new Kauffman Stadium. That would be for 29 games, or right around 100,000 more fans than at this time last year.
Fans want to see the changes that were made at the stadium, but that’s a one-time ticket. Greinke has become a true phenomenon and there are going to be a lot of fans who spend money to see athletic events that are going to reach into the bank account to see him pitch.
In these tough economic times, that’s disposal income that’s disappearing long before football season begins. If you haven’t been touched by the financial downturn, then consider yourself very lucky. But I guarantee that you know people who have less money available to them, and in some cases a lot less money. They are making tough decision on nickels and dimes.
And right now, there’s a guy working every five days that Kansas City sports fan want to see. If Zack Greinke keeps pitching in the manner that he’s opened the season, there’s going to be a lot of tickets sold for Royals games and less money will be around this fall for Chiefs tickets.
PAGE SIGNS HIS TENDER; JOHNSTON LANDS BACK WITH GUN
The Chiefs announced on Friday that S Jarrad Page had signed his tender offer. As a restricted free agent, the team had to make an offer to Page back in late February to retain their rights to him. His signing of the tender was really a formality more than anything else, because it’s long past the date when he could have signed with another NFL team. If he had the Chiefs would have received compensation. To go to training camp, Page would have to sign the tender.
Page joins C Rudy Niswanger and WR Jeff Webb who earlier signed tender offers as restricted free agents.
As expected, DE Brian Johnston was claimed on waivers by the Detroit Lions. This came 24 hours after the Chiefs released the seventh-round draft choice from 2008. Motown’s new defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham was a big champion of Johnston’s during the draft evaluation process last year.
SOON TO BE HALL OF FAMER WOODSON SPEAKS ON RAIDERS, AL DAVIS
Rod Woodson played 17 years in the NFL, the final two with the Oakland Raiders (2002-03). He’s joining the Pro Football Hall of Fame in August with Derrick Thomas and others.
Woodson never talks much about the Raiders, but he some things to say this week about the situation in Oakland. As a commentator with the NFL Network, he tiptoed very carefully, but his comments are on point.
“I think a football mind has to come in with Al, somewhere,” Woodson told the Contra Costa Times. “You need a football mind to help facilitate the ideas that he has . . . he’s the only gentleman ever to be a coach, a commissioner and an owner. Ever. So his knowledge is vast. I just think there has to be somebody up there with him because it will never get down to the players.
“There are some good players there. Some of his hires have no been the wisest. Schematically you’ve got to have something, but what you need is a leader. Your head coach doesn’t have to be an offensive or defensive genius. You need a guy who can lead 53 men and (have them) buy into what he’s selling on a weekly basis.”
Woodson talked about the Raiders penchant for taking guys who run fast times in the 40-yard dash, sometimes over football ability.
“You’ve got to find a football player who runs track, you can’t find a track athlete that plays football,” Woodson said. “It doesn’t equate. Football is played on the ground, track is off the ground. The faster you are, the less time you spend on the ground. You can’t be in the air in football. You’ll get knocked out. Football is played grounded. That’s why I think they have some issues sometimes when they get those fast guys.”

SAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY …
May 30
Born on May 30, 1985 in Camden, New Jersey was DE Turk McBride. A second-round draft choice of the Chiefs in 2007 out of Tennessee, McBride has played in 25 games over the last two seasons. A shoulder injury sent him to the injured reserve list for the second half of the ‘08 season.
Born on May 30, 1962 in Stuttgart, Germany was OT John Alt (left). A first-round draft choice in 1984 out of Iowa, he played in 179 games with 149 starts at left tackle for the Chiefs over 13 seasons (1984-96). Alt was a Pro Bowl selection after the 1992-93 seasons.
Born on May 30, 1947 in Oskaloosa, Iowa was QB Wayne Clark. He joined the Chiefs during the 1975 season and appeared in one game. He played five seasons in pro football.
May 31
Born on May 31, 1954 in Dallas was DB Tim Collier. An eighth-round draft choice of the Chiefs in 1976 out of East Texas State, Collier played four seasons in Kansas City (1976-79), appearing in 52 games with 22 starts. He had nine interceptions.
Born on May 31, 1974 in St. Paul was DT Steve Martin. He played 16 games for the Chiefs during the 2000 season. It was one of seven stops the Mizzou product made during his nine-year NFL career.
A tough economy creates challenges and problems all up and down the food chain. Start with essential vs. discretionary consumer spending because buying groceries has to be done but seeing a pro game when one has lost his/her job or THINKS they’re in danger of same does leave supporting the local pro sports teams far down on the priority list, obviously.
The most vulnerable cities are those without a huge population base to rely on and thus be able to wring out good attendance numbers based on sheer volume. KC, Buffalo, Indy, Cincy and other cities of similar size don’t have that luxury.
Even the larger cities like Atlanta are feeling the pinch. The Atlanta Braves have been advertising season tickets with 755 Club memberships for as little as $5 a game and still their attendance lags far behind previous years.
WINNING is the best promotion ever devised but that’s hardly groundbreaking information. Still, the need to return to playing winning football has probably not been as important for the Chiefs in 2009 as it’s been in decades because of the ongoing fragile economy coupled with a smallish market where ticket sales won’t be easy to generate, especially if the team stumbles out of the gate.
CORRECTION NOT CAUGHT IN TIME:
It should read in the 4th graph:
“Still, the need to return to playing winning football is probably as important for the Chiefs in 2009 as it’s been in decades….” etc
Sorry about that.
Chiefs will need to win some pre-season games to be viable for fans money early in the season.
The teams success will dictate fan participation. With the tough early schedule they face, I can’t see many dollars flowing into the gates at Arrowhead.
A wise man should save his money for the NFL ticket on DirecTV. I foresee many TV home games to be blacked out locally. Go Chiefs…

Comes the time now of the hard sell!!!
I would disagree on the fair weather fan comment. Carl and Herm drove people away. It was their style. Arrogance from Carl…and Incompetence from Herm. People don’t like that. They Chiefs waited to long to clean house. If they had done it 2 years ago the fans would not have been in the “prove t” mode now.
This explains the Cassel contract thingy majiger.
That Pioli, he’s a slick ol’ bastard!
https://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/05/30/last-word-for-now-on-cassel/
The owners are fixen to F the hell outta players and the NFLPA.
Yeah Ive been thinking the cassel contract will be used to drive up season ticket sales closer to the season….we will see…I just cant see where this money will be spent.
I hope its not a fair weather situation, I live in San Diego, so thats all I deal with, hate the chargers, not a fan of the fans.
Lets hope the fans return as the defensive intensity returns.
I don’t know alex k, I don’t think the Chiefs are going to be in any big hurry to get him signed to a long term deal. I suspect they want to see if he’s the real deal or not, and that won’t be determined untill late in the season if not after.
imo.
Chiefs at the mercy a fandom theirs - “Loves me, loves me naught… loves me, loves me naught…”
And now, we bypass the tin foil hat “party line” incommunicado Chiefsville…separate the chaff - KC fandom - from the wheat - Rin - by way of all the grist for the mill:

Offensively speakin’, the Chiefs be stinkin’ in 2009…
WOW!
That was written with Earth shattering insight. NOT!!
That guy is a master of pointing out the obvious. Those are the same concerns every one here, that isn’t living in a Time that Land Forgot, has been talking about.
But what you and the light buld that wrote that blurb forget is…
The Chiefs have a new regime and a new scheme, run by a guy (Haley) that actually has some experience (not to mention some savy) in calling a game. Haley also seems to understand the basic concepts of Coaching, something this team has lacked for 3 years.
Wanna put you Cudda on the Chiefs haveing as manny wins this season as Herm had in the past two?
I think the Chiefs will certainly win as many games this season as Herm did in the last two (six). It’s hard to count on more than 6-10 right now, but better coaching from Haley and a better mix of veterans should get us at least that far. Outside of drafting Tyson Jackson over Eugene Monroe, I’ve really liked what Pioli has done so far in building this team up, and Jackson will probably be a solid pro in the long run so I’ll deal.
On the Royals front, the only way I see them really stealing seats from the Chiefs is if Greinke is still pitching lights out, in September, on a Sunday. The Royals are showing their true colors now after a fast start: black and blue. Not to be too pessimistic, but I highly doubt they’ll be competitive come fall and the only reason to watch them will be to see Greinke making a Cy Young run, or perhaps, Mike Jacobs breaking the club’s home run record.
The Chiefs will sell tickets early in the season, but if they don’t show something in the first eight weeks, they’ll have a tough time filling the stadium late in the year. A lot hinges on how well Cassel plays. An exciting QB will put butts in the seats.

“Herm destroyed this team and fan hopes in 3 short years.”
- ’search’ & ‘check’ destroyed this team in less than :54 seconds of ‘Watered’ down conversation, a not so caliente 2009 prescient Gonzo trade and 1 weak draft - all in about 3 mo.’s & fortnight - guaranteeing Kaycee will be a bottom feeding for seasons to come.

Ya know…
If it wasn’t for Rin, and his other personalities, ruining this place…it would be a really cool place to have some intelligent debates.
Too bad one A-hole has to ruin it for all others.
I think I’ll stick to the articles from now on…and stay away from the “comments” sections. They’re half filled with Rin’s nonsensical bullsh*t anyway.
There has to be a freak in every crowd, I suppose.
Rin says “…BBQ stains on the chin…
Taking baseballs on the chin is a Rin speciality…and let’s not talk about the stains… This is a family forum.
Well Bob i’ll be there for a couple games this season. I live in MS. But i’m definately buying some tickets to Chiefs game. I’ve been a Chief fan since i was a little kid and never watched a live game. I definately think this team can win the divison. The Broncos chargers and raiders are all teams that we barely lost to last year or beat. And this team is going to be much better talent wise and the players are going to be even more well coached. I expect us to have a big season this year. And it would be ashame if my fellow Chiefs fans that normally buy season tickets would miss it.
This team finally has a real GM and a coach who’s not going to except losing. A quarterback who has come from a successful organization and knows what it takes to win. This is going to be a turnaround year for us and it would be ashame if most Kansas Citians missed it. Especially after going and watching the 2 and 14 team last year I mean the team has no where to go but up after that season.
Scott working…or rather, naught.

Next, I’d like to talk to you about diarr- I mean the Chiefs. I’ll type, you hold your nose.
Some folks herein are wont to say/believe certain players are no longer on the team- solely because of talent.
Au contraire.
Scheme/system changes are the culprit. Remember, people don’t kill people - bullets do. Likewise, bullets don’t kill schemes- a ‘lack’ of bullets kills teams, regardless of the schemes.
Ammo, by any other. Talent. Black gold. Texas tea.
Horsepower John- don’t worry bout the horse being blind, just load the wagon.
Some swear by Remington, others say Winchester… you say Hydrashock, I say Tres Haute Vitesse.
Coaches kill schemes, ill-fit players lose games. Teams die because of a confluence nee conflux of both; in the military “and the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air”- what we have here or there, which is neither here nor there really as much as bad timing, what’s known as ‘clusterflux’ - football sense same. Those bombs were meant to land on the target - receivers hands - alas, the enemy got hold of em so now we have a real fight on our hands, men.
Marksmen - wrong load? Or conversely, too few Sharpshooters, too much powder the shot?
Case in point, the Kansas City Chiefs, variously, over the past few seasons. Offense… defense… ne’er the twain to meet. Nor special teams; once, twice, 3 times a loser.
Remember when Casey Wiegmann was not retained? He did not fit the scheme - yet - seemed to fit like a glove in Denver. ‘Sights’ were adjusted and too concessions made to action, age. Bullseye.
Back to Kaycee’s tales of woe.
Some players were Dick’s…Vermeil chose them. A few - some cases - Peterson’s…others came here during the day of the ‘Gun’, Cunningham’s Heroes. The most important of all however recently, were the corners - Herm really cleaned up there.
Why a lack of success beyond also ran status?
Misfires, hangfires and jams - and not just at the line of scrimmage. Tis a matter of lack of continuity: too many coaches, too many schemes, too many agendas. Much too much - too many’s - and gone too soon, another dummy load - or 2 - brought in.
Chiefs slogan 2009: “Cuttin’ corners & shootin’ blanks - we don’t care.”
Why?
(Cue Sinatra)
“We did it - OUUUUUUUUR WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!”
As every afore and aft them too shall proceed; and so it goes, till the next…
Herm got to do it his way and look what we got.
Bullseye
For 1 season - 2008 - he did. . .Herm had to do it “Carrrrl’s waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!” the first 2 years.
Target obliterated…no survivors - subject to Jr. ‘playing with’ that ‘continuity’ that Rin spoke of: “love$ them…empty $eat$ naught.”
Fandom guilty of a lack of patience as impulse control and too common sense - Jr. guilty of a
bad reaction to the prescribed correct dosage medicine and requisite recovery time; that dog won’t ever Hunt.
Bottom line who ever get to do it their way and the results of a season is 2 and 14 Clark is going to fire them. Which I agree! And if it was Carl’s way the first 2 years it just proves how bad Herms way was. That why Jr went hunting for new Dogs and we will see if them dogs will Hunt.
Time to double up on your medication Rin. You’re boring everyone. Now get back in your trailer and stay there.
Nicholsan to Chiefs fandom: “You can’t HANDLE the truth!… Jr. is in over his head, as ’search’ & ‘check’!”

It’s Nicholson…fool.
No, it’s Nicholsan dear husband…you know that when I speak in ‘this house’ - Rin’s Gretzland - you ask nee plead: “how high Tinny?”
heh heh heh
Bottom line 2 and 14 Herms way!!!
Bottom line - Herm Edwards - ONLY Head Coach in franchise history Texans/Chiefs to take his team to the post season/playoffs in his first season.
Et tu ‘checkpoint’? ‘Searchme’ says his sidekick soon enough to be a kick in the side, head, etc.
Year one his/theirs? Post season/playoffs?
ah, ah, ah-hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!
Chiefs 2009: 0-16 courtesy ’search’ & ‘check’
I dont really see how much more talent Pioli and Haley has brought to the team. I see the change into a 4-3 under and possible 3-4 hybrid schemes. I do see a bunch of players that were here last year, I haven’t heard how Zach Thomas was doing in OTA’s either, Vrabel isn’t more talented, he was in a good system, just like Cassell, how can you lead the league in sacks and still have the yardage that he had? Well, when your receivers led the league in YAC, that makes a whole lot more sense. Thigpen should be the starter…
That wasnt Herm’s Team his first year he coached the Chiefs. Our roster was pretty good so it made him look like semi good coach. Now every year after that was definately all Herm hahahah
May 31, 2009 - Rin Tin Tin says:

So Rin your giving Herm the credit for the playoffs when it was really Carl?
Bottom line 2 and 14 Herm’s gone.
“If it wasn’t for Rin, and his other personalities…”
It’d be pretty boring wouldn’t it…
Look how many people post responses to his comments (albeit some of them suggest a lack of gravitas). How many original thoughts would show up? And how many of us should feel foolish if we can’t efficiently refute the sorry assertion that Herm’s the man?
Jay
You can’t get there from here…heh heh heh
If you can, then any success Chiefs 2009 goes to the W column Herm/his players - the L’s any - er, plenty, under the resume ’search’ & ‘check’.
Check-mate..as always:
Game, set, match - Rin Tin Tin!
I now realize I’m an idiot. Herm & I were/are losers.
SG
I’m unspeakably impressive…oh, and I liked your comments too… I’ll need to go and find a larger mirror now.
“Mirror mirror on the blog wall, who is the wittiest one of them all?” - Rin Tin Tin!
“Look how many people post responses to his comments”
- don’t vex their spirit SG: they can’t count that high…
“albeit some of them suggest a lack of gravitas”
- I do that (only sometimes) so that even the aforementioned folk can participate too…
“How many original thoughts would show up?”
- just one; as the original sin, the rest be just plagiarism…
“And how many of us should feel foolish if we can’t efficiently refute the sorry assertion that Herm’s the man?”
- how sorry are you SG, et al? Let the knee bending and mea culpas begin!
Fake Rin now realizes he’s an idiot, for…
- (cue Elton John paraphrase) “Fake Rin - fake Rin’s got…green eyes…
“So Rin”
- yes, what is it now?
“your giving Herm the credit for the playoffs when it was really Carl?”
- yes, to Herm be the Glory; too, nod toward Carl who supported the Coach who led them there.
Fact is howe’er ONLY Herm was ever able to get KC to the post season/playoffs his 1st year as Head Coach - Carl couldn’t do it with weepy Dick, Gun or Marty “There’s A Gleam Schottenhimer.” No one ever did it…but Herm.
Yup, Herm’s STILL The Man!
heh heh heh
(PS) Do you think ’search’ can get the Chiefs to the post season/playoffs in his first year- with HIS 1st year Head Coach, ‘check’?
Hmm; lemme ‘check’/think on that…
NOPE! THEY CAN’T/WON’T DO IT!
heh heh heh
“…how sorry are you SG?”
Not very. KC’s sinking performance under Herm was.
Of course all of this losing was 100% Herm’s fault…just as the team winning his first year was 100% Herm’s fault too. CP had nothing to do with it.
The fact that this team did NOTHING to properly prepare for the replacement of Willie Roaf and Will Shields with their pending retirement was a headache before Herm ever arrived. The GM was the same for both coaches (Verm and Herm). To say it was Herm’s fault that TG was hacked off after lengthy contract negotiations a couple years ago and that there was no effect on our ability to win when KC traded its best defensive player - Jared Allen - to Minnesota - those aren’t on Herm.
However, the crappy game management, the pathetic excuse-making, the poor leadership…that WAS Herm. Blame whoever you choose. But, if you call him “The man,” please don’t improperly cut the title short, but finish the phrase appropriately by calling him “The man who was head coach during the single worst season in this franchise’s history.”
Yup, Herm’s STILL The Man! at ESPN with a 2 and 14 scar for life. Im sure he very proud to be the only coach to Ever do this in Chief history.
Final score
Rin Tin Tin…………. Loser
Rins a dumb dumb…….. Winner
How many games has ‘check’ won? 0
How many has ’search’ won? 0
How many will their two heads be better n’ one win in 2009? 00
double-dim for the not so dynamic duo!
Rin wins AGAIN!
heh heh heh
SG says:
“Not very”
- denial begets self doubts, SG…embrace your true feelings.
“KC’s sinking performance under Herm was.”
- I said embrace own, not deface ‘nother!
“Of course all of this losing was 100% Herm’s fault…just as the team winning his first year was 100% Herm’s fault too. CP had nothing to do with it.”
- disagree; tis always a little of this & some of that… if Jr. and Carl had allowed Herm to start the rebuild immediately year one, less wins & no post season thence, and- based now on hindsight - Herm wouldn’t have seen a second season, likely.
The old saying still holds true: “you can pay me now (the Piper of Rebuilds, at I-70 & forever) or pay me later.”
Herm bit the bullet…died for past Kaycee sins; then the rest of the “arse”nal went Judas on Him that would’ve been The Savior…
“The fact that this team did NOTHING to properly prepare for the replacement of Willie Roaf and Will Shields with their pending retirement was a headache before Herm ever arrived.”
- undeniably.
“The GM was the same for both coaches (Verm and Herm). To say it was Herm’s fault that TG was hacked off after lengthy contract negotiations a couple years ago and that there was no effect on our ability to win when KC traded its best defensive player - Jared Allen - to Minnesota - those aren’t on Herm.”
- you’re two for two…don’t mess up now SG.
“However, the crappy game management, the pathetic excuse-making, the poor leadership”
- Elvis previously left the building…let’s stay in the now; Herm’s STILL The Man!
“that WAS Herm.”
- no, ‘that’ was Grbac… make a note of it.
“Blame whoever you choose.”
- alright: I’ll use the same one Tricky Dick Nixon used when he was a child.
Parents in unison: “Who cut down the cherry tree Richard”? To which he replied: “I cannot tell a lie - the DEMOCRATS DID IT!”
“But, if you call him “The man,” please don’t improperly cut the title short, but finish the phrase appropriately by calling him “The man who was head coach during the single worst season in this franchise’s history.”
- your “plea”se noted, howe’er, I write better (both fiction & non) without a ghostwriter nee rider o’er my keyboard…
Nice try…come again.
How many will their two heads be better n’ one win in 2009? 00
Until then (in the bleak scenario where that might happen), Herm holds the dubious title of “The man who was head coach during the single worst season in this franchise’s history.”
Im calling Herm a loser because he was.
How many game has `Herm` Lost 14 (JUST LAST SEASON)
How many games has ‘check’ Lost 0
How many has ’search’ Lost 0
Rins a dumb dumb wins AGAIN!
heh heh heh
“…not deface ‘nother!”
No need to…body of work spoke for itself.
“Of course…”
Missed the facetious nature of the comment apparently…
“Herm’s STILL The Man!”
Insert “who was head coach during the single worst season in this franchise’s history” and we’re achieving reality.
“I write better (both fiction & non) without a ghostwriter…”
Agreed - but it adds entertainment value when we poke fun at your ocmments to cut and paste what you said back into the discussion.
“…the DEMOCRATS DID IT!” Didn’t know that CP and Herm both wore blue…thanks for the insight.
“Until then”
- famous last words SG: these too spoken but aft denied or will be for all posterity -
* Carl Peterson: “A KC Superbowl in five years.”
* “check”: “Any 22…”
Then, the aftermath -
“I never said” plead Carl - for all 20 his years. Not in those exact words no, he didn’t. And yet, implication was precisely that…must not’ve ever had the right 22 anys (though, the 53 total? Not so bad.)
As for ‘check’ & his “any 22…”
Uh huh. heh heh heh…ho ho ho…regret regret regret.
That ought to be good for s***s and giggles Todd; say- what else will he do/has he already done?
- Bend KC convention in his bare hands, leap over tall lineman (not named Brian) in a single bound, and who, disguised as an NFL Head Coach, fights a neverending battle (losing) for sum subservience, unearned loyalty and the New England Patriot Way!
Fake nee imposter Rin said:
“Im”
- a fraud…
“calling Herm”
- too late; he left this pop stand be called the Kansas City Chiefs 2009…we are all doomed.
“a loser”
- besides you? Lemme think…
“because”
- you need a healthy dose Rin’s discipline planted ‘pon you daily…
“he was”
- no sorry wrong pronunciation: ‘heroes’, heroes. And how much did you wager? All of it… you’re busted again, you zero.
“How many game has”
- fake Rin #1 talking to fake Rin 32: ‘homminy game has whut Vern? I dunno whut ya mean…’
“Herm”
- is STILL The Man, agreed.
An STILL, undefeated blog Champion: Rinnnnnnnn!
No fake…No imposter…Just a blogger that defeated a wanna be champion…That would be YOU AND HERM…I will agree that Herm is a man.
Rins a dumb dumb is not a imposter he is a Winner

fake Rins - all of them - WAAAAAAAAAAAY down here.
Feel the burn!
Would you like me to change my name? Rins a dumb dumb. If you would like to use it feel free it has a good ring to it.
I can also change my tattered underpants. If I can find someone else to trade with.
Rin Tin Tin Feeling the burn!
heh heh heh
I also save my toenails. I line them up on the floor and pretend they’re Chiefs players.
The offense always wins. But I don’t care.
I’m just happy to have so many friends.
That not funny but my name is Rins a dumb dumb..
Getting deeper and deeper under your skin
Sometimes I eat them. But only when they’re not looking. At me.
And sometimes? I see dead toenails. Other peoples.
