If you’re a fan of (or at least passingly familiar with) our A.V. Undercover series, you know that every season isn’t complete without an appearance from GWAR. The intergalactic thrash band has been a favorite guest in our studios since Undercover’s very inception, slaughtering numerous other artists’ songs and stomping through our office and calling us all pathetic worms while swinging their big rubber dicks around. And now you can own a little piece of that experience for yourself.
[UPDATE: A winner has been chosen!]
We’ve been asked by our very patient office manager to please get rid of the below section of drywall painted by artist Jay Ryan, which we salvaged from our last studio makeover, and which has been balancing perilously behind our Onion Labs coworkers ever since. We took it as a souvenir of the final time GWAR played Undercover before the loss of Oderus Urungus, who led the group through a typically spiteful cover of Billy Ocean’s “Get Out Of My Dreams, Get Into My Car” a mere five months before he died (of unrelated reasons). It’s somewhat faint in the photograph, but if you look closely you can see that one of the band members—possibly Oderus, though no one remembers—wrote “GWAR” on it and turned the arm of one of Ryan’s adorable creatures into a dick. They also drew some hairy balls.
If you would like to own this priceless piece of GWAR/A.V. Club/artistic history, all you have to do is tell us in the comments, in 50 words or less, “Why do you deserve this?” We’ll pick a winner by this Friday, November 18 based on the number of upvotes, as well as our own capricious judgment.
Some important things to keep in mind here:
