It's wicked dead kid
by Donny Sullivan (aka Jay Donde)
I was sittin on the hoppa the othah day, when I heard a coupl'a staties talking outside mah dooryahd about how the word 'hella' is dead. Well I says, "Good riddahnce!"
It's become totally awbvious over tha past few yeahs that that wohrd was completely wack. I mean, did we evah really need a wohrd like 'hella'?
The English language is full of fah more precise and ahticulate terms for describing all that which is 'bawmb', 'crazy', 'whicked', and 'mad'.
And besides, who can resist the poetry of phrases like: "Weah gonna hav a wicked beah time in the forest, moosh. Therah gonna be mad girlies coming!" Elahquence defined; need I say mohre?
If anything, 'hella' was just cahntributin to the decline of tha English language. I mean, look who died last week - Bill Buckley.
Back in this kid's time, it was cool to say things like, "Don't let them immanentize the eschaton!" What a wicked pissah!
The truth is, 'hella' is just anothah un-American, un-gawdly invention of those hippie-dippie cahmmie lovahs from northahn Californiah. I hope all those hoodsies take a digga.
See ya around, 'hella'. Here's tah good frappes, Ted Kennedy, and Boston forevah baby!
'Hella' is hella not dead
by Bo Cabrerra (aka Julia Eckhardt)
Whatup Whatup my brosefs? I'm hella telling' a gnarly tale about my fav wordage in the most graviest English language.
Hella all about the word 'hella' my brosefs! We brosefs use the word hella' for everything. Allow me to most excellently illustrate my bro.
"Hey dude, are you going to crash your mom's tea party with a keg again?" "Hella'!" Or you could like, "Hey dude, that chick had a sick doable-ness nah?" "Hella'!"
Back in the early 90's, when I was hella' kickin' major snow height up in Big Bear mountie, everybody was hella' all about the word 'hella.'
Hella people kicking's snow, and by the way I'd hella' like to send a shout-out to my hella' brosef, not pushin' snow but daisies instead. He hella died on that hella' gravy sick run back in Tahoe. Hella bummer.
Anyways, hella' listen my brosefs, 'hella' is hella not dead.
I was hella' illing when I heard from this hella' mood killer, Donny Sullivan, about my hella fav wordage sittin' in that hella' cloudy place in the sky, with the hella' big guy.
But it's hella' all good brosef, hella' we're cool.
*Disclaimer: These opinions are 100 percent SATIRE. Deal with it.
