reina_t_1111: Hey, check this new photo of me out.
minimoniotaku: Cool. I always wanted to see you with a guitar.
reina_t_1111: Yeah, I would have preferred an electric, though. Or at least a strap for this one. It’s a little hard to hold a barre chord when you have to hold the entire guitar at the same time.
minimoniotaku: How true.
reina_t_1111: So, what’s your verdict on the Stooges’ little tribute to Madonna the other night?
minimoniotaku: Well, right after I found YouTube footage that wasn’t by some jabroni pointing his half-megapixel webcam at his television, let’s just say I looked like I elected myself pope.
reina_t_1111: You and me, both. I was waiting for someone to ask me if I was eating hot peppers again, LOL
minimoniotaku: That was fantastic, though - and a very sneaky way on Madonna’s part to get Iggy and the band on the Hall Of Fame stage.
reina_t_1111: At the end of that clip, where Mike Watt is bowing when he meets Madonna - and since you’re friends with him, you’d know - is he always that humble?
minimoniotaku: Oh yeah, very softspoken and pleasant person. Probably speechless too given that he’s a big Madonna fan since back in the day.
reina_t_1111: Yeah, I can definitely appreciate that… but bowing at her?
minimoniotaku: Well, after four visits to Japan, I think your mother country is rubbing off on him.
