The Mega-Zine Museum
October 2, 1996
NIGHTPORTER urges Cantonese Boy to move on. Eighties music wasn't ALL that. Buck's Fizz were an 80s band, as were Duran Duran.
MELLON COLLIE BLUE ICE LOLLY was bet £1 they wouldn't eat lip balm. The fool did and didn't get the £1. Foul mouth and empty pocket.
MIDGET GEM has a tip for the sartorially-challenged: don't EVER wear purple, orange and yellow together.
Ironic Nomad wonders why zine faxes go
TO 0171 386 7808. THEY JUST DO, FOOL
DEAR Megazine
Some misheard lyrics:
"High up on the hills and I am Bernard Manning" actually is: "High up on your cross and I'm burning, burning."
From Time O The Signs by Terrorvision.
"We want James Bonds. We want cheese scones" actually is: "We won't use guns We won't use bombs."
From Mis-shapes by Pulp.
Billy Corgan's Bleeding Heart
Well cloth-ears, you'd better get
THOSE LUG-HOLES SEEN TO!
TO THE GIRL WITH THE X-RAY EYES
You are thus named because you try not to see things the way they appear to be and you have a liking for intergalactic space-age rock band Babylon Zoo.
Either that or your eyes used to be called Ray.
I'm correct? Huzzah! Now give me that Crispy bloke, s'il vous plait.

Is that ANYWHERE near the mark, girl? &
WHY IS RED CHIPOLATA RED CHIPOLATA?
A POEM
Drifting over the highest peaks,
swimming the hidden lakes,
lying back on dry stone walls,
treading the ancient streets,
I gaze transfixed at my picture of the world.
My ears hear only what I wish, senses heightened.
I'm still young, I will always be.
I am immortal.
Broken Circles
Are you an eagle, a salmon or a lizard?
DRY STONE WALLS ROCK
DEAR HEAVENLY NOBODY
Lush deserve much greater recognition thant they currently enjoy.
Other Lushees please write soon as people think we are a dying breed that don't number in the millions, which we most definitely do.
And WLW, anthropomorphic personification of taste, show you are not a Lushist dictator and print this letter.

EFFECTS OF FEMINISM THAT ANNOY ME
Male friend No1 eyes up girls and talks about their bodies to another friend then apologises to me for being sexist. Girls talk freely about boys' bodies.
Male friend No2 calls an old Belinda Carlisle video sexist as it has shots of her cleavage. He doesn't say that Peter Andre's video is sexist with its close-ups of his chest.
Pulp-loving Girl
Eyeing up women isn't sexist. Not
TAKING THEM AS SERIOUSLY AS MEN IS.
