   About International Maniac Institute
I.M.I. (International Maniac Institute) is three-piece punk band hailing from Ottawa, Canada. The band was formed in late 2002 when Ian (vox/axe) and Dicky (beats) began jamming in the moldy basement of the Indonesian Embassy – complete with gongs and gamelans. Father Ian is an alumnus of Vancouver punk bands Nunstalker and The Livids, and has shared the stage with area greats D.O.A., Dayglo Abortions, and The Real Mckenzies. Dicky—a.k.a. the Feva from Indonesia—does all band graphics and will marry just about anybody to secure permanent residence in Canada. After two years of making modest waves on the Ottawa punk scene, including shows with the Riptides and Subhumans (B.C.), IMI went on hiatus in 2004 so that Ian could help the poor in Tajikistan. For real. Upon his return in 2006, IMI lost their original bassist. Against all odds, recording and production of the band’s first full-length record, “Inert,” went forward. Upon completion, the band recruited Mike Four-Stroke of Four-Stroke fame to fill the critical third slot, and thus reopened the Institute for business. I.M.I. sounds like good, fast, original punk rock. I.M.I.’s members grew up on the Dead Kennedys, Misfits, Ramones, Propaghandi, Bad Brains, etc. and draw ample inspiration from the So-Cal punk scene of the early 1990s.

DO you know whats on most girl's minds but they won't tell you or will they.
I am telling you this because it is the honest truth, look I should know, they say that it is all in the way you use it, not how big it is, well I got news for you all, that is pure lies.
I know from personal experience, I will tell you about a secret that jarrod has made me promise to never ever tell anyone, but since he has not called me in three weeks after standing me up, I am going to break the promise and tell you how he went from having a tiny wang and in 4 months he is now about nine inches and get this, it is still getting bigger. He has been secretly taking grow pills from this site, copy and paste the address into your browser to see them. AGHEE.COM
I found out when I was at his house, three fridays ago, we were getting ready to go to the mall, so while he was in the shower, I went in his room, sneeked under his bed and found a box with pill bottles in it, there was like 9 full bottles and 4 empty ones, all ordered from AGHEE.COM I was laughing at first but then when he came in the room and caught me looking at them, he freaked out and made me sware to not ever tell anyone about them, especially girls from school or work that he has been dating for the past while, now that I think of it, he has been rather busy with all the popular girls around here, when just last year he was the shyest when it came to girls.
I just never put two and two together until he explained it all to me, I did see his prick and yes, it is huge, pronostar huge, the thickest and longest one I ever seen.
I know this sounds really shallow, but I am considering ordering 6 bottles from the website at AGHEE.COM for you know who.. he does not have a myspace account, so he is not gonna see this. They guarentee that the pills will work on any man, or they give you your money back, living proof that they do work on any guy, seeing is believing. AGHEE.COM
