EAT MEAT
Death to the carrot murdering
vegans! Fauna at least have an
opportunity to run, hide or fight to
avoid victimization. Flora have no
such choice and must await their
fate in hopeless terror. Even the
poor truffles are not safe, for the
evil vegans hire fascistic pigs to
root them up. Animals die within a
few minutes. Fruits and vegetables
die a horrible death, often lingering
for weeks before rotting, wilting or
being plunged alive into boiling
water or oil. Vegetarians should be
buried alive, upright with only their
heads exposed. Let them see how
vegetables feel, and whine for
mercy from their dear friends, the
furry mammals, birds and insects.

BENT ON NUGENT
Hey Theodore Nugent, Terrible
Ted, Tedster, the next time you
draw your bow somewhere in the
Northwest with that bull elk's head
turned upwind, try this before
instinct releases your deadly arrow.
Yell, "Hey stupid, want some of
me?" At least you'd give something
with the I.Q. of a dairy cow a
chance. Theo, if you'd ever really
skated, you'd carry a camera
instead of a weapon.
I've worked in a packing plant.
What they kill, they raise. What you
prefer killing was born free. So, it's
stuffed with chemicals, steroids,
antibiotics and stuck in a cage, a

cook, slice, dice, purée, preserve,
box, freeze, ship and shelve it. I
buy, prepare and eat it. At least I
didn't track ten country miles to put
something wild to death.
Maybe I'm wrong. I'd rather see
you hunting in the Midwest and
playing music to dirtheads than
rubbernecking deer on Highway 1
while I'm trying to get surf. You're a
feeble, half-deaf, has-been,
housefly-hunting turd. Play some-

you haven't!

Okay, we've heard from all sides
on the Nuge/Vegan issue. Now
let's go eat. Ted
FUTURE SHOCK
I hate the Earth, but what else do
I have? We have killed this planet!
Do you think recycling is going to
help enough? Recycling is not the
problem. We are beyond that. You
can't recycle air. Maybe we could
burn the shit and make the air.
cleaner. But that won't happen; we
are too worried about putting about
a billion a year into a two-hour
game called the "Superbowl. Might
as well be called the "Toiletbowl." It
doesn't do the world any good. I
wonder how much of that money it
would take to cure the current
cholera epidemic? Probably about
half! I just need to go skate and
release frustrations!

CARPET BAGGER
My dad thinks you and all the new
skaters are a bunch of wimps. He
says in his day they made their

I think he's suffering from possible

definite amnesia. Ted
PARENTAL CONCERN
Which is better, having parents
who are constantly worrying that
you'll fall off your board and break
your head and embarrass you by
telling your friends that they should
be wearing safety gear in your
driveway, or parents who don't
even turn their heads when you tell
