Contributed by avi. Posted by Justin on Tuesday, June 5, 2007 at 9:00 PM (EDT)

On their recent Northeastern tour, it appears that New York City's Slackers decided to play a prank on the Bay Area's spacebilly pioneers the Phenomenauts. The ska stalwarts glued something...phallic to the the Phenomenauts' iconic "Phenomabomber" space-van. Check it out below.

"Not unless you want you're shirt sprayed with...Documents!"

That was awesome.

thebiglebowski (June 5, 2007)

I meant to say that guy was awesome.

YasserBossin (June 5, 2007)

haha, also, what does moo moo mean?

Ragdoll (June 6, 2007)

It's the sound a cow makes.

my friend has the 10k psi glue and we glued a dildo to a top of this kids car and the kid had the dildo on his car for a week when it was finally off...i think he sawed it off or something

hilarious. on a semi-related note, the Slackers are one of the few bands that gets better and better with every single release.

I-type-poorly (June 5, 2007)

Really? I thought they peaked with The Question. I still love them and all, though.

mCLz (June 5, 2007)

agreed, peculiar is their best record
i won a signed copy from complete control radio when it just came out
it just came in the mail one day and i didnt even remeber signing up for it

GlassPipeMurder (June 5, 2007)

same happened with the Me First contest on Soundscene Revolution. this is part of my theory that if you expect or wait for something to happen, it won't...at least in regards to music contests.

ramo (June 5, 2007)

Hahaha...phallus glued to the touring van. Classic.

I bet that phallus was taken from Avi's personal collection.

Someone (June 5, 2007)

you're an idiot.

Someone (June 6, 2007)

Avi has taken bigger ones than that. God, that guys a cock-shiner!

elephantdwarf (June 5, 2007)

this is news?

GlassPipeMurder (June 5, 2007)

best news of the year!

Fuzzy (justin) (June 5, 2007)

I forgot, punk's not allowed to be fun ever since Against Me! signed to Sire.

Dante3000 (rich) (June 5, 2007)

No, punks not allowed to be funny since 95% of the people involved (apparently) have shit for a sense of humor.

P.S. I want an award for interneting.

Someone (June 5, 2007)

congratulations your a pathetic loser?

Dante3000 (rich) (June 5, 2007)

Let's see:
1) It doesn't mean as much since it's your name engraved on it, but it's still nice to be the "honorary winner".
2) I'm not sure the award for "pathetic loser" should be your third place trophy in your elementary schools annual "Egg on Spoon Race".
3) I'm glad I could be the first new person to win this award in 10 years after you were banned from winning again.
4) This trophy is really just a bronzed version of your moms dildo isn't it?
5) Wait, why do you still have a third place trophy from elementary school?
6) A guy with no username calls me a pathetic loser, "Hi I'm pot, you must be the inside of a coffin on a moonless nightt"
7) "Pathetic Loser"? I've been called worse by better, like when your mom tried to tell me I was your father.
8) Seriously, who hangs on to an "egg race" trophy?
9) I'm assuming for my "pathetic loser" prize I get a lifetime subscription to "someone monthly".
10) I'm sorry I couldn't be there to accept in person, but I'm busy weaving your mother's back hair into shelters for third world children.
11) I mean "egg race", c'mon. Not even like Spelling Bee Award or something?

Someone (June 5, 2007)

typical pathetic loser stream of comebacks.

YasserBossin (June 5, 2007)

ad nauseum

Someone (June 6, 2007)

C'mon, Dante....Mom Jokes?

Someone (June 6, 2007)

"C'mon, Dante....Mom Jokes?"

It's nice to see that a guy knows when he's disappointed his fans and moves on to post his 'humor' where it might be more appreciated.

Someone (June 5, 2007)

i think punk hasn't been allowed to be fun since the ramones signed with sire.

Someone (June 6, 2007)

sellxouts

Someone (June 5, 2007)

I caught this tour in London. The Phenomenauts put on an endlessly entertaining live show. Slackers were amazing, which goes without saying. They played for so long, I was so tired and extremely satisfied.

AnArchaeologist (June 5, 2007)

Thats what she said.

Someone (June 5, 2007)

I am a JOE BOT

amirtie

Someone (June 6, 2007)

This really isn't funny. Or, it's as funny as lighting a bag of shit on fire in front of someone's front door.

Holy_Balls (June 6, 2007)

I didn't laugh. I want my money back

ashtraymonument (June 6, 2007)

nice.

Someone (June 6, 2007)

The van is cool. Has old PCI cards all over the fuckin place. Cool show too.
