DESCRIPTION

“Old man take a look at my life…” In an elaboration of its trademark self-indulgence, Sound Mind chooses its personal favourites from the first year of its life and repackages them in this handy and highly portable issue. Look back and laugh, as Sound Mind does, on a year in the life of our humble zine with such classics as “12 Steps to Find Secret Doors”, “The Enigma of the Jerk-off Count”, “Reviewing the Reviewers”, and “Sound Mind Not Fit for Print?” You’ll be glad you did.

Nobody in their right mindE would think thst eound mind was fit for print. Fortunately .:for our readership none of the sound mind leadership seems to adhere to abovesategory of person. Facl is we don't really like to adhere io things, we abscond, ormebbs adhere things to other things, like a blender to the family dog (isn't thai rightcyborg rufus? Make me a daquiri, good boy. Good boy, make one for yoursolf too),But the truth is, we're not making this stuff up, people told u8, I swear. And if youwillfully wieh to blind yourself to the truth, then sir and/or madam you sicken me. Not fitfor print, the Balls. But personally l'm sick of this canker.worm of care preying on rnyvitals so here are some Euggestions for making soundmind more appealing to thosa

know why, My aunt owns a dairy farm and a dozen cows in rural Orrrario,yet spend$ most of ber days quoting lines frorn Casablqncaand The Bells ofSt, Maty's in an attempt to foreconnect". The cows pay little attention.But back to the relevant point, modern celebrities have so many different ,lives, They seem to grow out ofthese lives after a while, or discard them ifIt's convenient. So what happens to these lives? I feel they must go backinto circulation,

out of a hundred I mightras well just give them a,thumbs upor thumbs down. But that wouldn't mean anything. I am inot so self-centered as to think people give a fuck about

not a rating out of a hundred. I don't believ,e in {out of ahundred' rating systems. The numbers assigned arecompletely subjective and have nothing but an arbitaryconneetion to something's value. If I were rating things

personal opinion. Who cares what I like? That has neverbeen the point. Shawarma beat is not about opinion. Theturnlp rating scheme is wholly objective, scientific, andsystematic. The number you see in the column is the end

difficult to precisely judge the consistenoy of garlic saucewithin the sandwich itself' Where you're really going to

notice a difference is with the potatoes. To determineproduct of a cornplicated mathematical equation that takesinto account too many variables to go into at thie tirne.
