fuck! gawd almighty how I do love the ho!d! but, hey readers and fly-by-nighters of this most spectacular zine on the net today...you wouldn't believe what I have collected this past month...alright, make that a month & some extra change, since this issue is late-a-little, (pound my little toe with the splintered end of a broken baseball bat (I DARE YOU!)) but hell, when you read what's inside, you'll ferget about all of the odd-shaped diamond-coated-doggie-decorations (aka: jellycacabeans) I was gonna auction off for easter egg hunts at a cheap and reasonable fate, but I think I'll have better luck with that beginning word -looks eastery and like ecstasy to me, yea. - and if yer into that EasterRotteneggpoopoofluffnstuff - well, then string a bunny with lite-brites - merRy, haPpy and allthat crap...soOo...

FYI---I've added a link at the bottom of each forum/column/etc. page for easy access to the graffiti messageboard for comments or feedback for all of the readers and writers-just so you'se know! ok, and this month I'll start off with a plug for the columnists:
