    Dear Maxim dudes:

    As a member of Generation X, I was stoked to see that wearable computers are now available ("Hey Gen-Xers: Wearable Stuff!", Maxim, March 2002). ThinkGeek would have taken two days to deliver, so I hopped in my X-Terra and cruised down to Brookstone with my S.O. (she wanted to check out the genital jewelry).

    That night while I was fisting her ("How to fist anyone!", Maxim, July 2001) our nipple ring walkie-talkies touched each other briefly, long enough to send an arc through all of our body piercings (I have 13, she has 22). Bummer! My roommates wanted to know what all the commotion was, so we told 'em someone got eaten by a croc on Survivor ("Lie--it's okay!", Maxim, January 2001). Yeah. Anyway we now have to get the burn marks taken out of our tribal tats, get some piercings redone, buy a new snowboard (bummer!), and replace the American flag that got burnt when my girl exploded--gotta support the troops so we don't have to start speaking Afghani! Although I would like to smoke some Afghani right about now...Huh huh.

    Just want to remind all my peeps to play it safe when your fisting your girl, and don't forget to vote

    Canadians for Proportional Representation: Please see votepr.org && fairvotecanada.com.

    What stupidity is this? `Proportional Representation?' Never! I say take away their provincial status. In fact, disolve all the pronvinces.

    Democracy does not work and everyone with real intelligence knows it! Fascism is the only way.
