2/11/02 - Where do you want the Supertram(p) to go tomorrow?

If you call your album 'Fighting Pig Learns Judo Tricks', you're going to disappoint people if the cover art doesn't feature said pig. 

Something like this would do: 

27/10/02 - Obviously the Russians learnt their hostage rescue procedure from Die Hard: 

"Agent Johnson: Figure we take out the terrorists. Lose twenty, twenty-five percent of the hostages. 
Special Agent Johnson: I can live with that."
