Imagine if the Ali G film is a poignant exploration of memory and loss

This is *such* a good book. Great to see it rebooted. Haven't been this excited since Capcom brought out Street Fighter II Turbo and Total SNES magazine gave it 96%.

A very happy birthday to this utter heartthrob ❤️‍🔥

Slippy peen 🤤

Reminded today of this all-timer from the early days of The Internet
