    Considering that Pam has not seen a single one of the five movies reviewed in the August 1990 Watch It, we find an awful lot to say about them. But that's not all! There's also dolphins, Butt-head, Goo, spack, Barbie, garbage, Sondheim, Michael Rank, Michael Rank, and Michael Rank -- and it's all stuck together with God's glue. If that's not Enuff? Z'Nuff!

    August 1990 Teen Life: Eastern Europe, Wet Pastrami & Mr. Sperm
    Mar 19 2024
    Time for a new issue! Catherine kicks things off with a dark reporting trip to several locations that were, until quite recently, in the Soviet Union. Kim shares the results from a poll of guys' and girls' views, though what we mostly remember is what we thought they looked like in their underwear. Karen walks you through each day of your month as the owner of a female reproductive system. The fiction runner-up is about...talking to pastrami. All this plus Sassy staffers' romantic boyfriends, the return of Help For Him, unorthodox uses for avocados, and much much more! Stop hitting on your attractive cousin and join us!
