An ally of Chunklet had his house burn down this week which is very sad. One of his pets died in the ensuing fire which has got to be unbelievably heart breaking. However, with this said, this ally of Chunklet's co-owns Matador Records. Said ally has probably a ten year head start on anybody that has ever read Chunklet. And that's a pretty safe assumption.

Say what you will about Matador (either positive or negative), but what I've always loved about Gerard is that he's never one to back down from a good fight in a tongue-in-cheek fashion. So about two years ago, he started shooting across the bow of Victory Records which I'm perfectly fine with. Oh, and then he shot across their bow again. Again, I'm fine with that too. Comedy is my life.

But Gerard got an email from Victory's Tony Brummel stating "Karma".

Exactly.

Now, I've been burgled twice which can't even compare to an entire house with a lifetime of memories burned to the ground. And yeah, I've poked at people over the years but to think that anybody would say that any tragedy is karma is just a fucking asshole. So.....

I nabbed these Victory jokes off the web with the hopes that the Chunklet comment section elite will come out to play and beef this list up because, well, it's almost too nice. I'm sorry, but this really upsets me more than the fact that nobody I know can mention one decent record he's ever released. Ever.
