LEMME TELL YA', READING ZAPPA FANZINES IS A FASTER AND EASIER WAY TO FIND OUT WHAT HAD BEEN GWINE ON IN THE ZAPPA WORLD THAN TRYING TO TRACK DOWN INDIVIDUAL MAGAZINES WITH 2 PAGES OF FRANK ZAPPA SQUEEZED IN BETWEEN SOME PHOTOS OF VINTAGE MAMMALIAN PROTUBERANCES.

YOU'LL LAY AWAKE NIGHTS SAYING THANK YOU FRED - BY THE WAY, IF YOU'RE THE TREE HUGGING TYPE, YOU'LL BE THRILLED AND DELIGHTED TO HEAR THAT THIS FANZINE HAD BEEN PRINTED ON 100% RECYCLED PAPER { HEY, HOPE THEY DON'T RECYCLE TOILET PAPER IN THE U.K. } CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS - OK LARRY?
CHECK THIS OUT: A LITTLE WHILE BACK I RAN INTO PUP-TENTACLE. YEAH, HE'S STILL FLOATING AROUND OUT THERE. SO IF YOU DIDN'T SEE HIM YESTERDAY, DON'T SEE HIM NOW, YOU JUST MIGHT BE SEEING HIM SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE, BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE HE'S BEEN.
FRANK MUSTA' SEEN HIM TOO AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER. SO SINCE HE WAS JUST HANGING AROUND I ASKED HIM: HEY PUP, YEAH YOU MR. TENTACLE, THAT'S RIGHT, I SEE YOU AND SINCE IT APPEARS YOU HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO TONITE, TELL ME HOW THE FUTURE IS? BECAUSE I KNOW THAT'S WHERE YOU'VE BEEN. WHERE-UPON MR. TENTACLE HAD THE UNMITIGATED AUDACITY TO ANSWER: "WELL REVERED, IF YOU REALLY WANNA KNOW, IT'S KINDA' LIKE THE PAST, THE PRICE OF MEAT IS STILL GOING UP AND YOUR OLD LADY IS STILL GOING DOWN".
I'M TELLING YA', HE REALLY MADE ME ANGRY. SO I TRIED GRABBING ONE OF HIS TENTACLES, BUT IT OOZED OUT OF MY HAND AND DISAPPEARED. HE MUSTA' SLIPPED ACROSS THE TIMELINE FROM LATER ON TO WAY BACK WHEN OR SOMETHIN?. DAMM, I SHOULDA' PUSHED IN HIS CHIN WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE. THAT'S OK THOUGH, I'LL CATCH UP WITH HIM AGAIN ONE DAY AND WHEN I DO I'M GONNA SMACK HIM RIGHT UPSIDE THAT HIDEOUS OCTOPUS LOOKING HEAD OF HIS. SO IF YOU HAPPEN TO SEE HIM HANGING AROUND WHEN YOU GET THE SQUINTS FROM YOUR DOWNERS AND YOUR WINE, TELL HIM REV. A. WEST IS LOOKING FOR HIM. OK LARRY?
PURCHASED NEW 22 YEARS AGO AND NEVER READ. WADDA YEZ THINK I GOT TIME TO READ ABOUT SOME GUY WITH A HUGE NOSE WHO HAD BEEN BETTER KNOWN FOR SITTING ON A TOILET THAN HIS MUSIC? IT'S GOOD N' TIGHT { REMEMBER THOSE? }. PRICE STICKER IS STILL ON THE FRONT WHICH DOESN'T AFFECT THE READABILITY OR LACK THERE OF.
HERE'S THE DEAL ABOUT SHIPPING: I CAN'T JUST SEND ANY ITEMS LIKE FANZINES BY FLAT ENVELOPE RATE BECAUSE THERE'S NO TRACKING NUMBER, WHICH MEANS I GOTTA SEND IT FIRST CLASS. SO I'LL PROBABLY PUT A FEW PIECES OF CARDBOARD AROUND IT BEFORE STICKING IT IN AN ENVELOPE.
