Hey Guys and Gals get ready for 12 of the kookiest, nuttiest, hippest, and
most neato songs this side of squares-ville. If you like conforming, personal
hygiene, and being a good American citizen than this album is for you. If not,
then you’re a degenerate and we hope you get shot and/or sent to jail (but
mostly, shot). This rocking album of rocking songs is just rocking! And it’s
the perfect benchmark for our generation: The best one there’ll ever be,
daddyo!
Almost as fun as McCarthyism and way
more interesting than worrying about some peoples' civil liberties, 12 Top
Hits features such destined to be classic bands like, The
Gay Guys and Smiling Eddie and The Squirrels. Bands we’ll be
hearing a lot more about, I can tell you that!
If you thought your leak free ballpoint
pen and the polio vaccine were something else, than get ready to Hula Hoop
your way to the Polypropylene jukebox and enjoy all the great songs on 12
Top Hits.
And remember kids, wash your face everyday,
pledge allegiance to the flag, go to church, and if you ever have any
urges to do anything un-American, then it’s perfectly okay to hang yourself.
Until then – have fun. (But just make
sure it’s OUR kind of Christian fun... You know, the boring kind.)

Your
Horoscope:
Aries:
Your good looks and a dollar will get you a small cup of coffee.
Taurus: Life tends to reflect back what we give off. For you, it’s
reflecting a sexually transmitted disease.
Gemini: See above – and get penicillin.
Cancer: You have the guile of a guileless amoeba and the DNA of a
one-celled parasitic protozoan.
Leo: Speaking of amoebas, you will continue to view them as various
one-celled aquatic or parasitic protozoans of the genus Amoeba or
related genera, having no definite form and consisting of a mass of protoplasm
containing one or more nuclei surrounded by a flexible outer membrane.
Virgo: You are working yourself into a state – and even worse that
state is “Utah.”
Libra: Gargling with scotch is not only good for a buzz, it’s an
effective way to get the smell of stale beer off your breath.
Scorpio: What you see as stable others see as precarious. What you see as
potentially fun, they see as possibly dangerous. So put down the matches, TNT,
and the Twister Board and try and figure out another way to entertain company.
Sagittarius: Cheer up. One day soon you’ll be dead. (Hope that
helped!)
Capricorn: A tantalizing possibility lies in store for you some time in
the next 25 years. Wait for it!
Aquarius: If you’re reading this than your putting more thought into
it than the person who wrote it.
Pisces: See above.

Thanks For Your “Jumping the Couch” Contributions
We actually received some (3) “Jumping the Couch” suggestions. Thanks to
Nicky (1), Louise (2) and Joe (3) for putting the time in. We appreciate it!
1. “Harry was stunned. No one had ever vomited on his prize collection of azaleas
before. Jumping the couch, he grabbed the vile puker and throttled the
blighter until he was nothing but a lifeless corpse.” (Very descriptive,
Nicky!)
2. “Katie Holmes is going to marry Tom Cruise? That loopy gal has jumped the
couch.” (Bravo, Louise)
3. “We all knew she’d jumped the couch when she developed an unnatural
fear of staplers.” (Way To Go, Joe)
Hot Dog
EXT.
STREET -- AFTERNOON
Business
men, MITCH and TED with hot dogs.
MITCH:
So costs are down and things are looking up for the next quarter.
TED:
Yes I read you report. Hey, lets go over there and eat.
MITCH:
It's nice to be able to eat outside.
TED:
Yes...well, it looks like I've got the bigger hot dog.
MITCH:
What?
TED:
My hot dog. It's bigger than
yours...longer and thicker.
MITCH:
No it isn't, they're the same.
TED:
Hmm? No they're not. Look I'm not trying to boast or embarrass you but the fact of
the matter is that my hot dog is bigger and thicker. I've got a very large hot dog.
MITCH:
I'm sorry to contradict you but in fact my hot dog is a lot longer than yours,
it'll probably last longer and be more satisfying too.
TED:
It looks burnt, and it's shriveled as well.
MITCH:
Pardon me?
TED:
Your hot dog, it's burnt, the skin is all dry and shriveled and it has shrunk
to probably four fifths of it's intended size. Why it looks like it just came
out of the bath. Whereas mine is
ripe. See the way it shimmers in
the sunlight, it glistens and that's because it is engorged.
MITCH:
Engorged? It looks limp and
soggy.
TED:
No it isn't.
MITCH:
Now mine is very hard. I like a
hard hot dog, soggy dogs are no good at all.
TED:
Now while it's true that my hot dog may not be an ancient relic like yours, it
is very firm. Firm and giving,
giving to the touch. It is supple
yet rigid just the way a good hot dog should be.
MITCH:
Soggy my friend, definitely limp. I
mean it's just drooping over like a...
TED:
Like a what?
MITCH:
Like an over cooked hot dog. Now
you see how mine is tight in the bun, it nestles between the folds and seems
to fit perfectly.
TED:
So does mine.
MITCH:
No, no yours is wedged harshly in. You
see, your bun hasn't really opened and allowed the dog to gently slip in, and
that's because my bun is moist and yours is not.
TED:
My bun is exceptionally moist.
MITCH:
Then why doesn't your hot dog slip into it like mine?
TED:
It will, it just needs time for the heat of the hot dog to warm the bun and
allow to slide down.
MITCH:
Maybe. But I doubt it. I mean look at mine, and then look at yours.
Mine has a nice hearty splash of mustard, lots and lots, whereas yours
has hardly any.
TED:
I don't need any sauces or condiments to enjoy my dog.
MITCH:
But it will be tasteless and bland whereas mine will excite and arouse my
taste buds. I'll probably savor
the meal for days while you will have had a dry, cheap experience that means
nothing.
TED:
Well what do expect? I picked it
up cheap on the corner. Oh for
God's sake, stop teasing me and let me have a bite of yours.
Ted
leans over and takes a large bite of Mitch's hot dog.
