Unkle Funkle & the Muff Squad

About Me

$%&/" original$ me$sage transcripted from N'orwe Gian,
the language of The Funk:-

I've been traveling trough galaxies and time to spread the word of the funk!
When I saw your godforsaken little planet, so full of hate and violence,
I pulled my throttle and made a controlled landing not too far from the north-pole.
From my camp-base here I will work my way out to the rest of the planet
to spread the word of The Funk, peace and looove!

EARTHLINGS, BEWARE...
