QUEEN OF BABBLE says Shakespeare is boring. Sad. He makes simple but profound observations, beautifully.

INSPECTOR 6 says the point of school is

YELLOW ADDER would like to point out that Gallagher is an Irish name and over there is pronounced with a silent G, ie Gallaher. Yeah, but we're HERE.

FEMALE OF THE SPECIES loves The Candyskins, The Charlatans, The Bluetones and Shed 7. Snore.

All these bands sound the SAAAAAAME.

UTTERLY BORING AND SNORESOME. SCREAM

 

TELETEXT MEGA MIRROR COMP WINNER!

The thing that laid the egg would have been a sort of prototype chicken, NEARLY a chicken but not quite, and the EGG would've contained the first real chicken.

Thus the egg came first (assuming Darwin's theory of evolution is correct)

A Drop in the Sea

Is that in his Origin of the Species?

ANOTHER ONE FOR THE BEDSIDE TABLE.

 

DEAR ZINE

I am underweight. People think they can tell me that I look sooooo skinny.

No one tells this girl I know that she's sooooo fat because they don't want to upset her.

I may not have much fat but I do have MANY FEELINGS!

Pulp-loving girl

Rather be underweight than over. You'll

GET CURVES WHEN YOU HAVE KIDS.
