     ...Historians are scratching their heads trying to figure out how this vintage photo of the now famous Hardcore Jollies came to exist.  Professor Ruben Schwartz, (PhD and chair of  the history department at Columbia University), explains "for all intents and purposes, the Hardcore Jollies should have been toddlers at the time this photo was taken, yet they appear to be the same age as they are today."  The discovery of the photo has stirred up yet another firestorm of rumors about a band, that it seems, cannot avoid being the focus of tabloid hysteria.

Here's what a few people had to say about the perplexing photograph...

     
     "Oh my gawd, I like, thought they were hot before but now everyone, I mean like, my friends and all, are all saying that like, they're probably, like vampires or something right?  Which that just makes them even hotter right?  I mean, I'd totally let them french me and suck my blood.

     "I've been searching for it all my life, and these devil worshipers swoop in and just grab it!  Don't you get it?  They've found the Holy Grail!"
     -Jonah Pipslin Dayton, Ohio

     This new set of rumors comes shortly after another uproar over the band's apparent abduction by aliens.  After vanishing into thin air during a performance in downtown Manhattan, the band was missing for two weeks until found partying in a bar in El Paso Texas wearing only a thin film of slime that was strangely irresistible to women for miles around.  "It felt good to drink with my boys out," said guitarist, Mitch Masterson.
