Volume I, Issue 51
May 26 - June 1, 1998
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
is name's Bond. Perry Bond. And he's your defensive-driving instructor.
Watch out.
This story about a defensive-driving class is the best story about
a defensive-driving class you'll ever read. And I'm not just saying
that because the statistical probability of you ever reading another
defensive-driving-class story rates somewhere below the
chances of hitting bubblegum while riding a pogo stick through
the Sahara. I mean it. Perry Bond rocks.
What bugs me about the article, though, is that these people paid
15 bucks to spend four hours listening to an entertaining wacko
so they could keep their driving records clear and their insurance
premiums low. Where I live, it costs $100 to spend eight hours
listening to a bore. Perry Bond, where are you?
You may also notice that we've got several "Cruisin'"
articles. No, this isn't because the fine folks over at the Nashville
Scene spend too much time watching Al Pacino movies. It's because
they're celebrating the beginning of summer. You can too -- whether
you want to read about entertainment, tasty
recipes, or pivotal personal moments.
Want more? How about pieces on sadomasochism clubs, San Francisco
hippie sites, or Mr. T's voracious appetite for testicles? Mmm,
now that's good readin'. Fool.
