       "Good...bad...i'm the one with the gun" - Army of Darkness

After the whole Heaven's Gate thing, the press and religious groups let out 
a collective shriek of disgust that i'm sure people in fucking Guatemala 
heard.  I would like to be among the first to pat those cultist bastards on 
the back: "Congragulations, boys and girls.  You did it without kool-aid.  
That takes a certain class."  Whatever i would say to them, i would most 
certainly do it without mentioning the words "panache" or "verve".  I hope  
that photographic blur behind Hale-Bopp is as exciting as it sounds. 

I hope your life is less exciting than mine.  Enjoy the issue.

"Hello, babies.  Welcome to Earth.  It's hot in the summer and cold in the 
 winter.  It's round and wet and crowded.  At the outside, babies, you've  
 got about a hundred years here.  There's only one rule that I know of, 
 babies--: 
 God damn it, you've got to be kind."   
  
 -  Kurt Vonnegut: "God Bless You Mr. Rosewater"

Having mentally rediscovered a certain group of stapled pages that i  
originally found quite a few months ago, i offer those pages to you 
slightly abriged.  i hope it comes to good or creative use, preferrably 
both.  i take no responsibility for what you do with this.
