    HA! The little ones shall KNEEL before the GLORY of Klingon Elvis!

  2. D.A. Ridgely   20 years ago

    Can the Village Little People be far behind?

  3. joshua corning   20 years ago

    my god i thought Matt Welsh might of written the article becouse it was from the LA times.

    speaking of which has anyone noticed in editorials comming out of LA with that traitor bastard as the author?

    (note: i really don't think Matt is a traitor bastard)

  4. DavePotts   20 years ago

    HA! The little ones shall KNEEL before the GLORY of Klingon Elvis!

    Yet even Klingon Elvis is just a little frightened of Filipino Elvis!

  5. Shelby   20 years ago

    Alas, as all things must be imperfect:

    Tiny Kiss, which includes three little people and a 350-pound woman

  6. Stevo Darkly   20 years ago

    Can the Village Little People be far behind?

    I'd like to hear a little Little Little River Band.

  7. mk   20 years ago

    I just hope that the two bands don't start too much of a "beef". I'd hate to see the streets running with blood and mascara.

  8. Rick Barton   20 years ago

    Cuz everyone digs kisses at least a little bit...

  9. Rick Barton   20 years ago

    Sorry. Please don't kick me off H&R.

  10. Jeff P. (in black eyeliner)   20 years ago

    On certain nights Robert Reich plays tamborine.

  11. Akira MacKenzie   20 years ago

    HA! The little ones shall KNEEL before the GLORY of Klingon Elvis!

    Available for weddings, Bar Mitzvahs and Rituals of Mauk-to 'Vor.

    Qapla' baby!

  12. sacamano   20 years ago

    This has a definite "spinal tap" flavor to it. Mmm-mmm, I like it!

  13. Douglas Fletcher   20 years ago

    KISS wasn't a band, it was a retirement plan.

  14. Douglas Fletcher   20 years ago

    By the way, I don't think two midget KISS cover bands is nearly as weird as the fact that we have right here in Arizona an actual Dave Matthews Band cover band.

    Seriously, I've even talked to them. They've got a bad attitude, believe it it or not.

  15. Inkstained Wretch   20 years ago

    Have you heard of the all-midget Cream cover band? It's called Half n' Half.

    Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week ...
