[edit] Miscellaneous

Originally released on -ismist Recordings, the CD was rereleased when the comedy division of -ismist was spun off to become Stand Up! Records.

A limited vinyl edition of 450 was released on white vinyl by -ismist Recordings.

In the final track "Other Idiots from Arkansas," Black reads aloud from an article in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette in which two men become injured after a bullet was inserted into their truck's fusebox and subsequently discharges, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle. This article is actually a hoax; the Democrat-Gazette publicly denies that it was ever printed and has a web site set up to address the widespread distribution (chiefly through e-mail) of the fake article.[1]
