The Mega-Zine Museum

MISS TRISTESSE Fluffy — you like Oasis but claim Manics are a sinful tragedy? I don't HATE Oasis, but they're much more 'trendy' than MSP! They are?
BLUE LAGOON Yellow Jello — not all trendies are fake, sleazy and call people names. My motto is live and let live! Shouldn't you be on B*ckch*t?
FLUFFY THE EVIL ONE I don't really care who let the dogs out, as long as someone puts them back in... soon! Can't TELL you how much I hate that record!
'ZINERS
I haven't mentioned Zippy for a while, so I must repeat that Zippy is great.
So many inferior TV characters (Mr Blobby, Tweenies et al) have had chart successes... But why not Zippy? Might I suggest that he do "Zippy Dee Doo Dah" in the style of the Deftones?
The Psychedelic Gloom
PS: Could Mr Blobby be James Dean Bradfield? They're equally talented!
Well it's a thought...
YOU NEVER SEE THEM TOGETHER!
WLW AND 'ZINE REGULARS
Only I understand me. Everyone else believes I'm insane. I was isolated until last year, then I found somewhere I felt understood. Only in the wonderful 'Zine do I find minds like my own.
After many years, I have found the haven of wisdom that only 'Ziners would share. Everyone else laughs at me.
Iridescent Sensiblity
People laugh at me too — mind you, I do
HAVE A STEPS T-SHIRT... IT WAS FREE!
'ZINERS EVERYWHERE
Here are a few facts about the Irish:
- We are not all alcoholics
- All men are not called Paddy
- We are not all farmers
- We do not all have brown eyes
- We are not all religious
- We are not all in sectarian groups
Hope this has set the record straight.
Enola The Nosebleed
My religious friend, Paddy the farmer —
HE'S GOT BROWN EYES!
WARNING!
I looked up B*ckch*t yesterday to see what all the fuss was about. After a couple of seconds I went cross-eyed and my mind went into overdrive. I was shaking violently. Next thing I know, my sister's telling me that I blacked out.
The moral of this story is: don't attempt to read B*ckch*t, kids!
Siberian Tigress
Quite right — they don't warn you about
THE AWFUL SIDE EFFECTS, DO THEY?
OK NOW I'M ANNOYED!
'Psychotic Broccoli' — do I know you? This is a joke right? I'm sure you're a lovely person but I do object to your lack of originality in a name!
There are hundreds of other vegetables. I know nothing compares to Broccoli but please, have some consideration.
This could lead to confusion — I've already had complaints from the rest of the vegetable revolution!
Broccoli (the one and ONLY!)
Oh dear, warring vegetables...
THIS, WE DON'T NEED!
IF 'ZINERS WERE CHARACTERS FROM ALICE IN WONDERLAND:
Mad Hatter: | Miss Tristesse |
March Hare: | Egg-Shaped Ian |
Alice: | Self-Obsession Honey |
Queen of Hearts: | Burger Queen Libertine |
Caterpillar: | Plughole Fantasy |
Broken Bubbles
Well, it's a thought. How about
CHARACTERS FROM STAR WARS?
POSSUM
Well, unless members of Blind Melon etc can play the bagpipes or the tuba, I fail to see what makes them talented, and the Manics 'not' (as you seem to think — perverse logic!)
They both play guitars, n'est pas? Sean Moore can play the trumpet as well as the drums.
James has the singing voice of a 'violated angel', to quote Simon Price. So shut up and cheer up!
The Gutless Wonder
You're not Mrs James Dean Bradfield
ARE YOU? JUST A THOUGHT...
