Drawings of Vaginas by Teenage Boys
Best title of a book on Amazon yet? Reviews
include, "Bit disappointing really. Yes, the
book has pictures of Vagina's drawn by teenage
boys but there isn't many (Roughly, about 15)
and there isn't any notes, annotations,
introductions or any other interesting passages
of writing. OK, you get what it says on the tin
but still, very small book with a few drawings
in. Bought this for my Brother by the way and he
has yet to comment as it isn't Xmas yet. Will
update."

>> Ticket Barrier Sings Blur's "Song 2" <<
Pesky Young Scamp writes, "It's the 4th barrier
from the right at the west entrance, not the
2nd, though I noticed that the exit barriers
from the Jubilee line at Waterloo are copying
it. Talented thing."
