LPPM MMV "These Funky Periods"

[Dave Monroe]

"It was only when he forgot to take vitamin B pills
the night before to ward off a hangover that these
funky periods would come at all. Most of the time the
brighteyed and bushy tailed Siegel would assert
himself and then he would look on the funky days as
only brief aberrations. Because when you came down to
it it was fun to manoeuvre...." (MMV, p. 1)


"vitamin B pills"

Contrary to popular myths of coffee, vitamin B, and
physical activity, time is the only way to cure a
hangover. With coffee, what have you got? A wide awake
drunk. Some find that vitamin B makes them feel
better, but currently there is no research to back
this up....
