The Mega-Zine Museum
January 3, 2001
GOTHIC BARBIE Tonight I'm gonna party like it's 2001... doesn't really have the same effect does it? That would be a "no".
THEMANWHOLIKESCHEESE WLW — is this the shortest letter you've ever had? Let's see... that would be a "no" again.
SHE WHO LOST THE PLOT Ding dong the witch is dead... you know, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas any more. We're not, not unless it's been moved to the south west London area.
NEW YEAR'S 'ZINE RESOLUTIONS
- WLW — to print letters on a Saturday.
- Parsley Possum — to buy a Manics album and learn to appreciate it.
- Jon The Postman — to get in touch with his feminine side.
- Davord — to stop sticking his tongue out (it's ever so rude).
- PC Stu — to get back with Lara.
- All 'Ziners — to be nice to Plughole Fantasy and trendies.
tHe woN hOo cuLdN't spel
All fairly reasonable but...
A TAD HARSH ON PARSLEY I FEEL!
TOO HOT TO HANDLE
Why does no one mention the plentiful and wondrous haven sitting right under our noses? A place of amazing creatures and sophisticated artistry. A place you needn't get up from after reading 'Zine. The place known as... Frame It!
In this exotic paradise of Pikachus and Voltorbs, we can revel in our low mental ages.
Fellow freaks — join me!
Savage In The Garden
It is good isn't it?
A FEW TOO MANY PIKACHUS THOUGH
WLW,
Even if you hate MSP, you've got to admit they have had a big effect on the world. Try to imagine your life without them...
For one thing, if they didn't exist, I wouldn't have written this and some other 'Ziner would have had their letter printed instead!
Miss World
That's true, but then there would be
LOTS MORE PIES TO GO ROUND!
WELL, I KNOW MY PLACE...
So I'm the grumpy old man of the 'Zine? I don't care. Is it my fault that I can remember the day when music was played by real musicians, who weren't in the Manic Street Preachers? No, it isn't.
I still enjoy getting out the old compact disc player and listening to a spot of Mad Season. I remember when sandwich-makers came in three sizes.
Parsley Possum
Yeah, stop now, you've lost us...
SANDWICH MAKERS? THREE SIZES? NAH
FAIRY CAKE,
- I suppose that boys mostly bond in different ways to girls, such as watching/playing football.
- I'm a boy and I wear pyjamas.
- See No 1.
Happy New Year!

Of course, if you missed Fairy's page —
THIS WILL MEAN ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
OPEN-MINDED 'ZINERS,
What is Megazine? A place where misunderstood beings retreat, to be welcomed by likewise misunderstood beings. But is it?
Trendies reject me because I don't wear labels, and now 'Ziners reject me because I'm a different freak to them. I prefer Savage Garden to Slipknot — doesn't mean I don't have lots to give!
Aquamarine Teardrop of Enlightenment
Quite right. And preferring Garden to
SLIPPY IS A BONUS I WOULD SAY!
THE VOICE OF A TRENDIE (not me!)
Am I a trendie? Wearing an Adidas top?
Part of the crowd and born to shop.
Shouting out "Tart, Freak and Goth!"
Acting a cockney, but really a toff.
I act all cool but I'm really a sleaze,
'Ziners I'm a trendie, help me please!
Trendies of the universe — you know who you are!
Yellow Jello
New year, new start. Let's play nicely
WITH THESE SADDOS
