So they bought three dozen diapers and drove down to the city. But I guess the park has someone watching it twenty-four hours a day, and they got busted. After that, none of the guys had the stomach for another big stunt.

于是他们买了三打纸尿裤，开车进城了。 不过我猜这座公园二十四小时都有人看管，他们被抓包了。 从那之后，这群哥们儿没人再敢玩这么大的出格举动了。

So they decided to play it safe and just get some stickers made with the band's name on it. LODED DIPER Today the guys spread out and put the stickers up all over town. And they must've burned through half their supply in public bathrooms alone.

所以他们决定稳扎稳打，只做一些印着乐队名字的贴纸。 LODED DIPER 今天大伙分散开来，把贴纸贴遍了整座城镇。 光是在公共厕所里，他们就用掉了一半的贴纸库存。

After they were done, Rodrick called up a few of the clubs that said they'd never heard of them to see if they knew who they were NOW. And the owner of Renegades Rock Club told them he knew exactly who Löded Diper was and that they should come downtown for a meeting. The guys were pretty excited, because Renegades is one of the best places for live music. But it turns out they had stickered the owner's SUV, so they spent the rest of the afternoon scraping them off his vehicle.

贴完贴纸后，罗德里克给几家之前说从没听过他们的俱乐部打了电话，想看看现在他们知不知道自己是谁了。 叛客摇滚俱乐部的老板告诉他们，他清楚知道LODED DIPER是谁，叫他们去市中心见面。 这群哥们儿兴奋极了，因为叛客是全城最棒的现场演出场地之一。 可结果是他们把贴纸贴到了老板的SUV上，所以整个下午剩下的时间，他们都在刮车上的贴纸。

JANUARY Saturday I guess those stickers weren't a waste of money after all. The club next door to Renegades is called the Headless Chicken, and the other day the owner reached out to Rodrick to invite the band downtown to talk about playing a show. She said the Headless Chicken has live music every Thursday night, and if Löded Diper wanted to play there, she'd give them half of the admission she charged at the door.

一月 星期六 看来那些贴纸终究没有白白浪费钱。 叛客隔壁的俱乐部叫做“无头鸡”，前几天老板联系了罗德里克，邀请乐队去市中心聊聊演出的事。 她说无头鸡每周四晚都有现场演出，如果LODED DIPER愿意来演出，她会把门票收入分一半给他们。

The guys couldn't believe they actually lined up a paying gig, and they spent all week getting ready for the show. Since they were gonna be playing on an actual stage, they wanted to make sure their setup looked really cool. So Mackie made a giant Löded Diper banner to hang behind the band, and Rodrick got a fog machine from the Halloween store. Bill wanted to get one of those laser projectors to really put things over the top. But Drew's convinced those things are DANGEROUS, so they had to scrap that idea.

这群哥们儿不敢相信他们居然真的拿到了有酬劳的演出，一整周都在忙着做准备。 因为他们要在真正的舞台上演出，所以想让设备布置看起来足够酷。 所以麦基做了一块巨大的LODED DIPER横幅挂在乐队身后，罗德里克还从万圣节商店买了一台烟雾机。 比尔想要买一台激光投影仪，让舞台效果更震撼。 可德鲁坚信那东西很危险，所以他们只好放弃了这个想法。

Rodrick wanted to make his drum set look extra cool for the show, so he came up with the idea of putting skulls on the tops of his symbols. I thought he was gonna pick up a few plastic skulls at the Halloween store, but he was only interested in the real thing. And I guess people aren't just handing those things out to anyone who asks.

罗德里克想让他的架子鼓演出时看起来更酷，所以想到要在镲片上方放上骷髅头。 我本来以为他会去万圣节商店买几个塑料骷髅，可他只想要真骷髅。 你也懂，总不会有人随便把真骷髅给陌生人对吧。 J.D.巴塞洛缪殡仪馆
