i mentioned this to a couple of people on chat already but for the rest
of you, i was thinking how amusing it would be if they used the title
"the boy with the arab strap" with honey's "songs for children" cover
photo.  then maybe the FCC could slap one of those menacing black and
white "PARENTAL ADVISORY" stickers on it or possibly one of those "not
intended for children" stickers like on the raunchy japanime videos.  i
bet honey's mommy would be really pleased then.

not that anyone asked, but i'm glad they didn't choose any of those other
titles cos they're pish.

incidentally, what's the opposite of pish?  is it saliva/slobber/spittle?

that is all.
