As someone who has owned this album since about 5 years after it came out, I don't think I would have gotten any further than "That looks somewhat familiar."

Apparently so! We can't hurt the gay bundle of sticks feelings. The F word might be too harsh. Please be open minded and inclusive!

I find it funny written out this way because people immediately lose their shit about not using it, lol.
