She skates, the joke is so obscure you don't need to throw a spanner in it by not exactly spelling out it's a skating thing. The joke with the last name is that you just stop...Peggy Flem...)

I picture a spider, wriggling and wriggling and tickling beside her, stapled through the middle to a chicken.

I cannot picture a punk rocker doing same.
You are right about Peggy's Phlegm, that's the correct way to tell the joke, I couldn't remember it at the time.

Spiders and staples? what? Punk rockers and pins, staples, studs, piercing, it's like bacon and eggs.
