Dear Dickheads, Instead, I will focus on its incorrigible, impulsive vituperations, which, after all, What the hell is up with the Jazz own- are the things that make bigotry respect- ers and management? Do they care able. I wonder if SLUG really believes the about winning or having a good team? things it says. It knows they’re not true, ‘Cause it’s hard to believe they do. Kevin doesn’t it?

Any player that is worth such things just want to believe lies that a damn they get rid of or don’t even try make them feel intellectually and spiritu- to keep and they keep these inconsistent ally superior to others. Whether or not mediocre half ass dudes that don’t even that’s the case, SLUG Magazine and its seem to want to win or progress. Damn mad theories should be shunned. Jazz management get a fuckin’ grip!

Instead, consider using that of generalizing with the certainty to which brain of yours to obtain knowledge it is prone in its warnings. As I expected, of things that will actually matter in it was unconvinced. To wrap up, I’ll just 10 years or when you’re 60 and our hit the key elements of this letter one last health care system is non-existent time. First, SLUG Magazine is against ’cause people were too busy bitch- everything and for nothing. Second, my ing about how the Jazz lost that concern is with morality itself, not with game and why the coaches need the teleological foundations upon which to be replaced. If you’d like to keep it rests. And finally, SLUG Magazine has complaining about this nonsense, no idea what it’s doing. you can go to a bar called Dick N’ Dixies on any given night and look Dear Anonymous Writer, for a goofy looking man named Mike Brown and he will be glad to discuss It looks like somebody figured out these issues you have about the Jazz how to work the thesaurus tool in and come up with a solution, which their word program——let me be the will accomplish nothing. first to congratulate you.
