    Awesome toon today FD.
    Yum!
    I mean, who wouldn’t simply *kill* for a purple Iguana?

    P.S.
    All that’s missing is the faintest frisson of human flesh.
    Bloody vegan overlords!

    P.P.S.
    Using the words “penis enlarging pancake mix” and “flogging” in the same frame ??
    (Needs a “mature audience” warning!)

    EMC, I’m just wondering (with a vague sense of impending horreur) which particular bodily emissions you consume..

    Fair go, on that “pan-cake mix” – do you need a testimonial from an Abbott …..?
    Sure there are side-effects, it can take over your body ….. but nobody’s perfect.

    Eat, smoke, chew, snort tobacco – it helps you lose weight!

    I am with Plonkoclock. EMC, to what are you referring? I mean, I have heard about cinnamon, but not about pineapple juice…

    Plonk and Peterhau: I’d rather not (shall we say) come right out with it, but on the relevant page of the Pineapplejuice dot com site they confirm it is not a myth. But, presumably for reasons Mr Dog has outlined above, there is also this:
    So once again we decided to consult with a doctor on the subject, and see what he had to say about it all. Do bare in mind that the information contained in this article although accurate, is written for entertainment’s sake. Please do not take any of this information and make medical or health based decisions with it.

    If truth about therapeutic claims for food becomes optional then there is definitely an opening for cinnamon spiked pineapple juice.

    ohhh FD it takes me back – i would eat strawberry sugar bombs or whatever the latest breakfast junk cereal was – like no tomorrow – just to get the xray glasses (or gamma ray gun) for every two coupons posted in – and for some reason i really feel like coco-pops for dessert – i must stop on the way home!
