The Mega-Zine Museum
March 23—24, 2001
GLITTER JUNKIE And the best 'Ziner pseudonym is (drumroll)... Bongo Pants! It's good, but it's not right.
RATCHILD I wonder, are the messages on page one snippets from other letters, or are they written especially for this page? One of life's greater questions methinks. They're special ickle ones.
SIR WHENCE PITCHFORK Probably the most suitable place to hold a 'Zine convention is Kyoto. Don't ask me why — I just think it is. Or maybe Slough?

YOU ARE BUT AN ICKLE 'ZINER
THE MANICS ARE PANTS?
Just because Tom Jones is a fan doesn't mean people are gonna start chucking their underwear at them. I might though.
And Parsley Possum — Fidel Castro is intrigued to know whether you view him as a cabbage too...
The Gutless Wonder
I've always seen Fidel
MORE AS A TURNIP
SOME QUESTIONS NO OTHER LAD WOULD DARE TO ASK!
- If we kiss a goose, will it turn into a princess, or does that only work for frogs?
- Am I the only lad on the 'Zine who secretly wears dresses?
- Are Parsley Possum and Dark Grey Wolf lovers? You know what they say — a fine line between love and hate!
Savage Cabbage
Blimey — so many issues to look at here
AND ALL FAIRLY DISTURBING!
21st CENTURY GIRL
- First of all, I'm not a Goth. Nirvana is not Goth music.
- I never said Trendies were stupid, just that particular one.
- You would have to be living under a rock not to have heard of Kurt Cobain, no matter how old you are.
- Just because I like good music doesn't mean I'm old-fashioned. And you don't become avant-garde just by claiming to live in the 21st century.

I DUNNO, SO MANY ROWS THESE DAYS
PHILOSOPHICAL THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
If eggs are eggs and blue is blue, then I am me and you are you.
So, if eggs aren't eggs and green is blue, then you are me and I am you.
I'll leave you to think about that, shall I?

I've thought about it, Bish —
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YER GETTIN' AT!
SALUTATIONS FROM THE BONEYARD
This has been mentioned before, but why is 'Zine hidden in the midst of Club 140? I feel compelled to read 141-6 (yes — including Dr Nick!) every day and suffer mental anguish that really taints my whole 'Zine experience.
However, the one advantage that I can see is that all the Trendies getting their daily dose of Westlife have to read letters slagging them off!

Maybe you should write to Dr Nick —
TELL HIM ABOUT YOUR MENTAL ANGUISH
EVERYONE (EXCEPT GUTLESS WONDER)
I dream about a life, a life of girls. They're calling out my name!
I dream about a stage, a stage that's all mine where I can be seen and heard.
I'll sell my limousine, I'll sell my fancy house, just to get attention. And I'll get myself a supermodel girlfriend.
A fan club would be nice, but I just want to be a rock'n'roll star!
