Mike Croft (who passed away recently) originally wrote this zine in 1997 and then later re-wrote it in 2001 (in my house, even). It features reflections on being punk and how most punks are fairly puritan and unaccepting, contrary to their own stated moral code, interviews with Operation: Cliff Clavin and The Pink Lincolns, where economics and anarchist intersect (use of money, theft, hypocrisy, etc), how to take a shower, a reflection on drug use, definitions of various splinter-genres of punk, some pasted in bits about the band Hickey stealing a horn from The Voodoo Glow Skulls after a dispute and the resulting split record, a story about going to a punk show, an episode of dateline where a Nazi-sympathizer was attempted to be painted as simply a "history buff", how to clean and re-use postage stamps, hidden messages in Disney movies, some cool and obscure toys, and wandering the woods to find a swarm of houseflies, and more. Mike passed away in 2006 and his friends are making a conscious effort to put his writing back in print and eventually publish a book of his work since he was such a talented writer and it was so important to him.

Mike Croft (who passed away recently) originally wrote this zine in 1998 and then later re-wrote it in 2001 (in my house, even). It collects negative press clippings about Elvis, a tale of dental mishaps, interviews with Propagandhi, Your Mother, and The UFOs, high school reflections on drugs and straight edge, an article about deaths at intervention camps for rebellious teens and abuses that go on there, comics about dreams, the absurdity of sports, "Even Ronald McDonald was a vegetarian", and a review of a failed show and trip to the record store (and successful passing of money to a pan-handler). This zine is well written, despite what you might think, and highly entertaining. If you throw in the mix that it was written by a high school sophomore, it's fairly mind-blowing.

Mike Croft (who passed away recently) originally wrote this zine in 1998 and then later re-wrote it in 2001 (in my house, even). It collects a story about how the town of Binghamton outlawed handbills and flyers after some obscene show flyers Mike put up downtown, responses to said flyers from local bands (good and bad), interviews with F.Y.P, Atom & His Package, and Mutant Pop Records, seizures caused by Pokemon, stories about his car, car accidents, and poor driving (being told he is the worst driver his driver's ed teacher has ever seen), a particularly nutty Jack Chick comic reprint, throwing cat shit at a fake manufactured punk band who invaded their town, and the ensuing email exchanges between people about the incident, facts about poop,and pizza places run by the mafia.

Mike Croft (RIP) tells you stories of finding a product called the Bible Bar (no joke - and it's vegan!), getting caught drunk underage, waking up in the hospital, and then finding out that the owner of the bar is not mad at him - but rather wants to pay him to shut up (and then later lie about it!)! Stories of pepper spray in the vents at school, falling asleep at job orientation, getting caught smoking pot, being a punk rocker in a small town, entertaining co-workers, getting harrassed by drunk people and crazies, and drug stories. Great entertainment.

Mike tells you stories of finding a product called the Bible Bar (no joke and it's vegan), getting caught drunk underage, waking up in the hospital, and then finding out that the owner of the bar is not mad at him but rather wants to pay him money. Also stories of having put pepper spray in the vents at school, falling asleep at job orientation, getting caught smoking pot, being a punk rocker in a small town, his entertaining co-workers, getting harrased by drunk people and crazies, and more drug stories. This is great entertainment. #5 is the issue about his attempted move to Portland. #6 is a contributor issue and features Mike's brilliant story about getting caught stealing copies
