No Picture Jake Average	#1 by Jake Innis at Jan 11, 1986 at 2:06 AM EST
	These are some of my favourite Les lyrics. People treated me like shit a lot and still do in school, not this bad though but then again its just a story. Its about a kid who takes loadsa crap and just bursts into a ball of anger one day.

No Picture Adam Average	#2 by Adam at May 22, 1999 at 5:14 PM EST
	Levitator89, YES!!!

No Picture Nate Lead Player	#3 by Nate Thompson at Jul 27, 2001 at 5:45 PM EST
	Shitty childhood, horrible teacher, getting picked on, lessons learned. Les, your childhood must have sucked.
