my good friend and band-mate, howlin’ hobbit, on duty as a busker at the bridge in the pike place market.

WELCOME. NOW GO AWAY!
iam pridem, ex quo suffragia nulli uendimus, effudit curas; nam qui dabat olim imperium, fasces, legiones, omnia, nunc se continet atque duas tantum res anxius optat, panem et circenses.
-- Juvenal, Satire 10.77–81
Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses.—————-
Mary: "Hi! We're here to invite you to come kiss Hank's ass with us."
Me: "Pardon me?! What are you talking about? Who's Hank, and why would I want to kiss His ass?"
John: "If you kiss Hank's ass, He'll give you a million dollars; and if you don't, He'll kick the shit out of you."

When I saw this sticker at the Market, it caught my eye special because I (mis)took ‘Google’ to possibly be in some adjectival or abverbial usage in this phrase, ergo modifying ‘Ukulele Hobbit’ (i.e. “…WHICH kind of Ukulele Hobbit? A GOOGLE Ukulele Hobbit!”) — rather than being ‘Google’ in the verb form usage, and thus in some commanding tense or whatever it is; (i.e., the whole, three-word sticker telling me, in fact, to DO some Googling, with my ‘you’ understood).
That was funny! Now I want to hear some kinda recordings, having Googled. Any suggestions?
Oh, wait… this will work. Thanks!
