Have You Spleen Her? Tell Me, Have You Spleen Her? 

A horrible scream fills the air, the sort of tortured wailing which can only be caused by a rusty scalpal cutting into an already infected wound. This means only one thing - the TiaPL Spleen is back to answer your pop related questions, so lets watch as this weeks questioner gingerly steps up to the bloody organ.

Dear TiaPL Spleen

If I wasn't the most hottest, the most stylish or even the most baddest...would it matter to you? Because why can't I make you see the real things in life are free?

Love
Cakey


Yes, unfortunately it would. This is down to the major flaw in your argument when you claim that "The real things in life are free". This is quite clearly nonsense. Real things are stuff like bread, pigs and balloons, stuff that costs money in your local Inflatable Sausage Sandwich shop. The only free stuff they offer is the rancid, unsold cuts which you could perhaps find in the bin, assuming they don't float away that is. Unreal things are stuff like Gryphons, magic sparkle dust and the successful pop career of North and South, i.e. stuff that only exists in the minds of madmen (and women) and are therefore free, at least until the days of brain projectors which will turn your thoughts into real objects. But as the whole concept of brain projectors is also completely imaginary and unreal, these too will be free, making my argument as watertight as clingfilm over a toilet seat.

The Spleen

Umm, yes... thanks for that Spleen. Clearly the christmas fun and frolics has made him somewhat woozy about whatever passes for his brain. Either that or it's the aneasthetic. Anyway, if you have a suitable question for The Spleen then either mail us at talentinapreviouslife@hotmail.com or leave it in the comment box below.
