Diagonal Cut Toast > Square Cut Toast

"If you were a girl in 42's and went in the middle of the dance floor and started chewing gum you'd get lots of guys dancing round you"

We should have just left that sentence alone, but there are some things that have to be pounced on in pubs, and weird fetishes are one of them. So, getting up bright and early at 10, I went off to uncover the secret world of bubblegum fetishists on the internet.

Suprisingly, they are few and far between.

However:

Exhibit A

Exhibit B

Exhibit C:

Brian Boone of Virden, Illinois, is known for collecting girls' socks, the dirtier the better. He became known as 'Sock Man' after offering various young women $100 for their used socks. He also has a 'thing' for girls' chewing gum, getting in trouble for allegedly asking two girls, ages 17 and 13, to spit their gum into a cup. Boone was sentenced for trying to get three girls to take a ride in his pickup after he saved their gum for 'fixing a flat tyre'. He has recently been sentenced for violating the terms of his probation. He has not yet sought counselling for his gum fetish.

Moving swiftly away from that, having broken my two big music hoards, I've been retreating to the internet, with this lovely Her Space Holiday 50 minute long mix tape. It includes bits of Brian Wilson, Bjork, Mia, and Her Space Holiday (suprisingly,) as well as shed loads of other artists. There's also this rather wonderful site charting the history of Elephant 6, with a load of live tracks. Try pie, try...

I'm sorry if any of our readers are closet chewing gum fans, this guy proves you are a nice bunch of people. Nathan's hobbies include tracking giant babies, and rating his favourite religious websites. Can't go wrong, really.
