In which the unbreakable circle of Rat Skin Thong is revealed to the world.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The phrase \u201cRat Skin Thong\u201d is one that, most unfortunately, I cannot claim credit for; it was bequeathed unto me, like a sacred name of unspeakable power, by the aunt of a very close friend of mine during a barbeque her family was hosting.\u00a0 The close friend of mine, whose name is Fiona Flynn, debated with me about changing the name of the band that she and I comprised from \u201cDwolf and the Fat Angry Chicks\/Fdog and the Funky Crew\u201d (depending on who was singing lead) to simply \u201cRat Skin Thong\u201d, although ultimately deciding against it.\u00a0 Never did I think the name would arise again.<\/p>\n

Three years later, I sat with my new housemates at 1210 North Alder, discussing how we all fit together as a group and what we could call ourselves.\u00a0 Some (undoubtedly lamer) names arose that I\u2019ve long since forgotten, but I assumed that when I suggested Rat Skin Thong as a group name, it would be struck down.\u00a0 Miraculously, the name stuck, and here, ladies and gentlemen (and anyone in-between or outside), are the lovely ladies of Rat Skin Thong:<\/p>\n

Spirit Animal: Lion-turtle<\/p>\n

Memorable Quote: \u201cMy spirit color is indigo, because I\u2019m not red enough to be purple.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many things bind us together, among them food\u2026 jk lolz, that\u2019s it.<\/p>\n

Well, not exactly.\u00a0 Rosa, Isabelle and Alexa are bound by a deep interest in science, medicine and the disgusting, fascinating things that can be found on the interwebs concerning malicious maladies.\u00a0 Alexa and Shoshana share a love of religion and its social implications, while Alexa, Kaylene and I are fellow warriors in the never ending battle against the dark forces of Geoffery Block\u2019s Music 230 class (Music History: Antiquity Through Baroque), as well as the glory of songwriting and arranging.<\/p>\n

Collectively, we are bound by Katy Perry dance parties as study breaks at midnight, endless supplies of cheddar cheese, our fear of Pennywise the Dancing Clown (who is a monster that probably lives in the decrepit, foul-smelling basement of our house), and our love of Starbucks.\u00a0 We have made lumpy, delicious cookies, caused a baby to cry out of fear of being eaten, and found marvelous ways of procrastinating together.<\/p>\n

But mostly, it\u2019s just food.<\/p>\n

Moral of the story: So, whether you\u2019re looking for a good time, excessive stress from Organic Chemistry, cookies from my mother, or general panic about life, look no farther than 1210 North Alder.\u00a0 Rat Skin Thong fo\u2019 LIFE, yo.<\/p>\n

Thanks, Fiona\u2019s aunt.<\/p>\n
