High-Functioning Flesh - “Self-Management”
Regarding Acorn Motors
Acorn Motors was founded in 19A1 with the goal of bringing affordable electric cars to the masses. The name was chosen to suggest growth - mighty oaks from small acorns - as well as its green energy focus.
The Acorn Tri, the first offering from AM, was sold via Ace Hardware locations through the US and Canada. It was renowned as a hardy (if slow) two seater, just capable of hitting the double nickle speed limit, and thus freeway-ready. It was not utterly without high-tech benefits, but it was... limited. The three-wheeled vehicle - two up front, one in the rear - had no AC, fairly weak heat, and its range dropped dramatically in hilly terrain. It was advertised as able to go 300 miles on a charge; in hilly country this was more like 120. However, it did have Sidewave radio built in, the first car to offer this as standard rather than an upgrade. Further, the Acorn had a deeply strange marketing gimmick - it came with a spare engine. This was so that if anything went wrong, you could just swap it out with the spare and run it to the hardware store for repairs.
Of course, things went poorly for Acorn. The batteries had a tendency to overheat, and after a few too many car fires, a massive lawsuit pounded the company into the dirt. They attempted to come back via a 'clean' propane engine in a rebadged but otherwise identical car, the Acorn Model P, but the damage to their reputation was done, and the company went into Chapter 11 in the US by the end of 19A2.
In Canada, however, the company was bought out by Iridium Manufacturing, who renamed the Model P into the Spee-D. The name wasn't accurate - it was capable of doing 70 on level terrain with a stiff tailwind - but its low cost and Sidewave standard radio made it reasonably popular through rural areas of the eastern half of Canada and the Yukon - basically everywhere but Alberta. Not surprisingly, these traits made the Spee-D a symbol of the Wavehead movement, the same as the Vespa scooter was to the Mods.

101 Ways to Be Rid of...
Released in 19B7, 101 Ways to Be Rid of... or 101 Ways is the Thirteenth studio Album by Feenkönigin. Written as a tongue-in-cheek response to a letter by a disgruntled fan, 101 Ways tells the story of a fan angry at the band for trivial reasons (such as the capitalized "N") devising of various plans to try and kill every member of the band and being thwarted by coincidence, ending in a concert being crashed into by a jumbo jet. Peggy Sue and Barbara Ann have said in interviews following it that they both considered this album to be the most fun to make, with Brandy enjoying the use of various non-standard items as instruments such as a plunger, a head of cabbage, and a lamp.
The Album includes the following songs:
To Whom it May Concern
A Gentle Ram
A Soup of Arsenic
Scissors of Lead
Lions, Tigers, and Bears
A Bridge on the River Ohio
Timber!
Ich bin die Übermensch!
A Thousand Roses
Encore Non Plus
Erasing Identity
Big Iron (Uses the same melody as the song by Marty Robbins)
Keep on Rolling
Crank It!
Terminal Destination
5 Little Demons on Tour
The Lubbock Shuffle
Released in 19B5, The Lubbock Shuffle is the Eighth studio album by Feenkönigin. A collaborative effort between Peggy Sue and Carla McNamara planned since the release of Sailing on to Sunday in 19A8, the album is a stand out for its emphasis on Rockabilly and Early Rock and Roll. Almost exclusively covers, Peggy Sue had been inspired by Buddy Holly's plans for an orchestrated gospel album, a prospect that had interested Brandy. Originally planned as a collaborative album between Peggy and Brandy, as recording began, Rhonda and Sweet Jane offered to help her with the songs Great Balls of Fire and Yakety Yack. Eventually, Barbara Ann was asked to come in and help record Jailhouse Rock and Johnny B. Goode.
The Album includes:
Oh Boy! (A cover of the song by Buddy Holly & The Crickets)
Good Golly Miss Molly (A cover of the song by Little Richard)
Blue Suede Shoes (A cover of the song by Elvis Presley)
Tip-tip-tappin
Johnny B. Goode (A cover of the song by Chuck Berry)
Great Balls of Fire (A cover of the song by Jerry Lee Lewis)
Yakety Yack (A cover of the song by The Coasters)

Mr. Sandman (A cover of the song by Pat Ballard)
Everyday (A cover of the song by Buddy Holly & The Crickets)
Sh-Boom (A cover of the song by The Chords)

Jingle Jangle Jingle (A cover of the song by Kay Kyser)
Folsom Prison Blues (A cover of the song by Johnny Cash)
Released in 19B7, Run Rabbit, Run Rabbit is the Twelfth studio album by Feenkönigin. It features 11 songs and 6 covers. Developed following a series of American interventions in the Latin America, the album was developed largely by Carla Gwendolyn McNamara and Jane Paul Yule. Being released a few months after Peggy Sue's marriage to John Hardin, the album is the only one to feature Backing Vocalist Lucy Wayne- who typically filled in for Peggy Sue on tour. It also one of a few albums that has Barbara Ann only on the Guitar- the other albums being The Lubbock Shuffle and Seven Sorrows. The album is divisive among fans of the band for the juxtaposition of Soft Rock, Orchestration, and its Anti-war message, a subject of debate that has helped keep it relevant well past its creation. The Single Valentine Poppies topped the charts during the Gulf War. It is the second best selling album after The Girl and the Green Fairy.
The Album includes the following songs:
Run Rabbit Run (A cover of the song by Flanagan and Allen)
La Gloire de Guerre
The Meatgrinder's Penance
Valentine Poppies
A Fine Night for a Foxtrot
The Blackwater Buzzard
Ride of the Valkyries (A cover of the song by Richard Wagner)
