You've all been. Of course it's overrated. It's a hot dog. How great can a hot dog be? Hot Doug's in Chicago is great, but Pinks is just a hot dog. You can even tell.

Happy New Year! Thanks much to the folks at Gargamel. I have no idea how I made their cut for this, but it's appreciated. Year of the Ox, in old school robed attire. I get it completely. They're doing a show at Grasshut in Portland on Jan 9th. Check it out if you're up there. They make really nicely crafted vinyl dolls in special editions, customs, and more. Here's a link.
