We'll Rank the Ranko!
Black forest ham and chicken vesuvio from Whole Foods, with the usual acoutrements. Meanwhile, the editors have had an old album recommended to them, "L-Ranko Motel" by Bell and Shore. It is out of print, but a used copy is on-order. A read-through of the Amazon reviews was encouraging, but we noted this odd review from Bell himself!
>>I wrote these songs...beware

Yes, I am the guy who recorded this album. If it was actually any good, I'd still be in the music business instead of working a straight gig. There are a couple of decent songs on it that don't [stink], so for 5 big dollars used, what the [heck].
If you buy it, good [darn] luck. If you are still on the fence, and I have anything to say about it, I would suggest that you go buy something like "Gary Stewart's Greatest Hits" or one of those boxed sets of 70's crappy hippy rock. You will be happier, trust me.<<
We don't trust him so we'll let you know when we hear it. Without mentioning any of this to Monz, we asked him to review his own recorded output. "Five stars, kickass! [pause] You understand that's on a scale of five stars?"
