as a wee tot, i thought this stuff, those pictures, were really like,
in the FORBIDDEN category, but my parents never noticed. So much
embedded passion in art, poetry. I liked that, rather than adverts
for blue tablets and the description of what they do and what are the
bad side effects. Innuendo leaves room for your personal imagination
to fill in the blanks with HOT SAUCE.
