    NOTE FROM THE EDITOR:
    Ahh.. Issue 3 is here.. for those of you who can't see
    this in VGA too bad.. no EGA out of here..too much work for us
    lazy SPAMIANS, we were extremely happy to have just about all our
    authors fulfill the deadlines. This is the first issue where
    basically, all I am writing is this note from the editor. Well,
    that and my editing and a lot of other stuff, now I am extremely
    happy about this, and I hope this kind of response will continue
    as we try and get this thing as far the hell out of Orlando as
    possible. A note for possible writers: Follow-up articles are
    neato, but don't get too repetitive we have one follow-up in here
    on the growing cult of SIBYLISM and we are unlikely to follow-up
    any further on that topic, the past is the past and these issues
    are going to look better and better damnit! Now about the turkey

    thing..
    [When Suddenly]
    "NO ONE SUSPECTS THE SPAMISH INQUISITION!"
    "Hey, I'm the editor, I'm already a SPAMIAN, in fact I started
    this whole dang thing!"
    "You be a spamian or we'll chop your legs off."
    "I am a spamian."
    "Ahh a cabbage trick! Nice try!"
    "Listen, could you come back later this issue?"
    "You'd like that wouldn't you!"
    "Yes."
    "Oh. Ok."
    ... that was NOT my fault, it was the white meat! For
    those of you in VGA, pretty eh? Those with the VGA/SOUNDBLASTER
    edition are rocking to Monty Python's version of SPAM.. those
    with nothing are rocking to nothing. Which makes you look like a
    fool. But that's hardly my fault. Hey fnord, send some letters to
    the editor in here, comments, questions? Oh incidentally: WE'RE
    IN COLUMNS NOW! Wow. ....
    Mail me.. Robert I. Brayer, The Punisher, or (the notorious) BOB
    THE FRIENDLY GIANT! We'll probably print anything. We're
    desperate. Send Commander Chaos stuff! I will pester you until
    you do! You know that don't you?

    SPAM IN THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.
    By Deadheads:
    Spam, has had no slack through the years. Saying it is a meat
    byproduct etc... Now it has been shown that when administered
    through the jugular vain, wondrous things happen.
    Three years ago, six lab monkeys were given aids. The aids had
    gotten to the point of almost killing the monkeys. Various test
    were tried, all failed. Interesting enough, one brisk night,
    one of the doctors out drinking with the buddy, decided to stop
    in at the lab. He was now very drunk and found a can of spam in
    his pocket. It was his lunch for the next day. As a joke for
    the doctors, he administered some of the spam in one of the
    monkeys arm. The next day, the monkey had shown slight
    improvement in its poor condition. With one dose, the monkey had
    shown signs of increased white blood cell production. Although
    this was small. The cells were attacking the aids virus. The
    doctors were baffled. Then after a week of analysis, the one
    doctor came out and said what he has done. The others
    laughed at him. To prove that it was, he took more spam and
    injected it into another monkey's arm. The next day it showed
    improvement. The doctors then decided that once a week those two
    monkeys would be given an injection of spam. After two years the
    AIDS virus was almost completely gone. Then spam protesters
    signed a document with the state government saying that spam
    should not be used in the medical profession. It passed.
    The doctors were set back, they decided to move to another
    state and continue there experiments in secret. This year, the
    doctors came out in the open to the news paper and told of how
    there latest experiment, injecting a liquid form of spam into the
    jugular vain eradicated the aids virus within two weeks. With
    almost no side effects. Although this "drug" is very addictive,
    it is only administered once, and should not go through a
    addictive cycle.
    The FDA is now considering and reviewing the new information,
    and it looks like the spam drug now called "spam23.1" should be
    released to the public within two years.

    AND NOW: FOR THE SPAMIAN NEWS(Complied By Wire Reports)
    The Spamian News in Brief


    FURTHER RELEASE OF CABBAGE DETAILS

    A new, more precise study of cabbage infiltration created by
    the PPP (Paranoia, Propaganda, and Pogroms) division of the
    Spamian Movement has been released to the general public. The
    new release indicates that as much as 53% of the human
    population has been infiltrated by cabbage saboteurs. The PPP
    could not be reached for further comment, since at the time of
    this story's publication its head, The Golden Mage, was on a
    mission to an undisclosed location near Antarctica. The RPR
    (Rapid Panic Response) division also was unavailable, since
    its head was reportedly busy committing suicide.

    NEW SIG OPENS

    At the time of this article's publication, a new special
    interest group has been opened on the Toolbox Online BBS,
    /Spam, as a service by the Toolbox Online BBS. It's Sig-Op,
    and our beloved founder, The Punisher, is urging all Spamians
    to make use of this new SIG, since it "...should be considerably
    more fun than consuming baby powder".

    CALL FOR RECRUITS ISSUED

    The Spamian recruitment office has issued a call for more
    recruits, in the hopes that more loyal cabbage fighters can be
    gained. In recent weeks, several of the Spamian Movement's
    best were captured by the cabbage saboteurs and human allies.
    Rumors persist that if more conventional force cannot be used,
    the PPP may resort to using extremely cruel, nasty, and
    generally painful techniques to extract even more information
    from known cabbage sympathizers as to the location of top
    cabbage bases.

    BUSLOAD OF CHILDREN VANISHED

    A full complement of 37 young children from a Christian
    academy has been reported as missing. Since many of these
    children belonged to humans known and suspected of aiding
    cabbages in their plot to take over the planet, many have
    suggested that the PPP may have been involved. Although The
    Golden Mage could not be reached for comment, a spokesperson
    for the PPP said, "We did not take the children. That was a
    quite sloppy job. If the PPP had taken on that mission, we
    would most certainly have left evidence of torture or possibly
    a corpse or two." The Punisher has declined to comment.

    NEW BBS'S SOON

    A new Spamian base will soon be originating in the Orlando
    area. Reportedly, this BBS will be called "The Penis BBS".
    It is likely that it will be creating a Spamian Network with
    several other BBS's. All Spamians will soon be ordered to go
    ahead and come.

    The Adventures of BatSpam I
    by
    Enduro

    "Gee, golly, BatSpam, what are we going to do?" shrieked the

    boy-lite, "We're surrounded by cabbages!"
    "Yes, Boy-Lite, but if we hurry! Grab your bat-can, Boy-
    Lite!" "Yes, BatSpam!"
    Both the Boy-Lite and BatSpam took their bat-cans from their
    bat-belts and flung them into the midst of the oncoming horde of
    cabbages.
    "Oh no!" roared one of the cabbages as it began to shrink,
    to shrivel to a puddle, its green juices intermingling with the
    grey, murky water beneath it.
    Twelve cabbages fallen, BatSpam looked to Boy-Lite and
    smiled ever so slightly. The remaining eight ceased their
    heedless advance, and drew their sleek cabbage spitters.
    "Watch it, BatSpam!" cried the Boy-Lite as a gooey cabbage
    leaf splattered all over his face. It seemed to smother it, the
    smell of the cabbage was overwhelming, and he fought to wipe the
    single leaf away.
    Boy-Lite finally wiped the sickening cabbage off his face
    just in time to see BatSpam bound forward at the cabbages,
    charging forward with reckless abandon.
    "Ha ha, BatSpam!" laughed one of the cabbages, backing up a
    step, and sighting his cabbage spitter on BatSpam, "You are no
    match for us!"
    Several volleys of cabbage zipped by BatSpam, as he ducked
    and dodged his way forward, his long, stringy legs covering the
    distance quickly.

    **POW!!!**
    **WHAM!!**
    **ZOWWY!**
    **OOF!!!**
    **THUD!!**
    **SMACK!**

    "Let's get outta here!" screamed the leader, pulling away
    from BatSpam.
    "Yeah, let's go!" yelled another, his steps soon following
    the leader's.
    "I've got them, BatSpam!" puffed Boy-Lite as he took one
    last step, then launched himself into the air at the cabbages.
    "Ack!" roared one of the cabbages, "We have been
    apprehended!"
    "That's right!", BatSpam paced over to stand above where
    Boy- Lite and the cabbages were laying on the ground, "Cabbaging
    never pays!"
    "Yeah, BatSpam, you tell them!" Boy-Lite asserted,
    continuing to exert force upon the cabbages, keeping them down.
    "Keep these criminals here while I go to the BatCanMobile
    for the cabbage cage."
    "Okay, BatSpam."


    And so, once again, our heros have succeeded in ridding
    Gotham of a few more cabbages. Remember, kids, cabbaging never
    pays. Just like BatSpam said!

    The following article is extremely controversial, the
    coming of the SPAMIAN BIBLE gives different viewpoints from ERIS
    herself, however many spamians take this side anyhow, it is an
    issue that has split the large movement? Just how did SPAM start?

    "Historical Spam"
    Theory By Buuford
    Spam started out in a village in old America were the
    grass was green and the farm animals played their games in a not
    so far of meadow.
    One day a farm boy was out playing in the fields with his
    own animals. His father told him not to play so far away from
    the farm, but the boy was a rebel he didn't like his father and
    wanted to go exploring along a short, or so he thought short,
    path that led into the middle of a forest that was nearby. He
    thought that he would be back in time to catch old Lassie reruns
    and also catch a bite to eat. His journey took just a little bit
    longer than he imagined. As he progressed further along in the
    forest he realized that the path that he had taken had closed up
    behind him and he could not recognize the path back. He
    began to get anxious his heart beat rapidly the young boy had
    never been in a situation like this before. He had no idea in
    hell what he was doing. The path began to get darker and darker.
    His eyes began to feel heavy he could no longer keep them open.
    He felt that the place he was at, for now was a good enough place
    to take a rest, so he laid his head down on a nice thickly padded
    patch of soft green grass. As he was lying there he felt a sort
    of comfort. He didn't know what it was he just felt warm like he
    had felt before as in lying on his mother's warm breast. He
    long for that breast and the Spam that she could whip up in no
    time and at this moment he realized the hunger he had. He fell
    asleep thinking that the pain of his stomach would be gone when
    he awoke.
    The next morning with the morning dew on the leaves there
    was a strange aura of light around him the light was so intense
    that it hurt for him to open his eyes. He tried to block his
    eyes from the intense light but nothing seemed to work. He
    noticed a strange noise peering around some bushes, it was like
    nothing he ever heard from what he could make out it seemed like
    someone said, or something, The Cure "Close to Me." The strange
    music startled him because when he saw what the people were doing
    he wanted to be included. As he poked round the bushes the he
    saw people eating cans of Spam that he loved to eat at his house.
    When he came out from behind the bushes the people, or well known
    as Spamians which he did know at the time, were startled because
    they hadn't experience an outside life form in there colony
    before. Strangely enough they accepted him in to their society
    with great pleasure. He grew with these people most of his life
    and grew to understand there society. From there the Spamians
    had agreed that he showed great improvement and leadership of the
    people. Therefore they nominated him as Spamian Leader. He lead
    these people through famines without Spam he help them in great
    times of need and progressed them into the people we have
    following them today "Spamians."
    His life went on and brought many prosperous things about in
    the Spamian movement.
    Just like his saga continued so should the Spamian movement.

    AND NOW IT'S TIME CHILDREN FOR...
    ... COMMANDER CHAOS- ADVICE! Issue 3..
    This time out we were sent a multifax..most likely a joke, but
    since you jerks won't send me anything else I'm going to answer
    these one by one! FNORD!

    Dear Commander Chaos -

    I have been very frustrated lately at the kind of promotion of
    Spam Lite that Hormel has been producing. How can they expect US
    to believe that they really have a better Spam. Spam is life.
    Life is Spam. There is no light way of life, therefore, there
    shouldn't be a light Spam either. Do you agree with this point
    of view?
    - Stimpson J. Cat
    Professional Mouse Catcher
    Dear Stimpson J. Fake,
    It is a known fact that mouse catchers have toe lint problems.
    You should consider seeing Dr. T.Z. Lavine, he is GREAT for
    getting rid of that excess lint, and I have NO affiliation with
    him at all(Hi T.Z.!). What was the question again?
    Luv, -CC

    Commander Chaos:

    I personally believe that all people should rot in Spam Hell.

    Joan Schweinhund,
    Manager of Piggly Wiggly,
    Orlando.

    Dear Joan,
    Spam Hell? What is that, like Luncheon heaven? AHH! NO HAM FOR
    ME! I'm full! Oh God it's a spam-ham-jam-sand-wich! That's not
    hell! Hell is being forced to watch a TV with only C-SPAN and the
    WEATHER CHANNEL For eternity. Really puts things into
    perspective.
    Luv, -CC

    Dear Commander,

    Is it just me, or are there pink elephants dancing around the
    room?

    Sincerely,
    Toilet Seat, President
    Tidy Bowl of America, Inc.
    Dear Toilet Seat,
    Get a better name.
    Luv, -CC


    Dear Commander -

    Do you consider yourself: a) heterosexual, b) homosexual, c)
    bisexual, or d) spamsexual ?

    Also, do you like to sneak up behind cats, yank their tail
    hard, and then run? It's quite stimulating.

    Dear Richard,
    I would say, A, B, C, D and Maryland. Why? Because Maryland has
    all these fine things and more! Visit Maryland! They never pay
    advice columnists to endorse them! And that's why I go there. As
    for cats, I prefer to let the cute little kitties get caught in a
    (CENSORED BY EDITOR, TOO MUCH FOR YOUR SMALL EYES TO SEE, THIS
    DAMN COMMANDER CHAOS IS GETTING FAR TOO OBSCENE, HE WILL BE
    REPRIMANDED)
    ... And Now, a public apology
    By Commander Chaos,
    I would just like to apologize to Cat Lovers everywhere
    for my comments regarding excessive destruction of poor, sweet
    kitties. After all, my method and my timing was way off, if I had
    thought about heavy machinery, then-
    (CENSORED BY EDITOR, YOUR EYES ARE NOT THAT SMALL
    BELIEVE US, BUT THIS GUY IS REALLY SICK AND DEMENTED, WHICH IS
    WHY HE IS OUR ADVICE COLUMNIST, WE WILL ATTEMPT TO GET AN APOLOGY
    OUT OF HIM THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE ISSUE, GOOD LUCK)

    THE RELIGION OF THE MONTH!
    "That fat, bald guy from the Nirvana Videoism"
    First a brief history of SKIDS:
    THE RISE AND DEMISE OF THE FAT BALD JANITOR GUY FROM
    NIRVANA
    BY DEICIDE

    Recently Skids (more commonly known as The Fat Bald Janitor
    Guy From Nirvana) has become real popular. With small but
    significant parts in "Smells Like Teen Spirit", "Smells Like
    Nirvana" and most recently "I Don't Think You Love me Anymore" he
    has become one of the most well known and WORSHIPPED figures in
    the world today. However, he hasn't always been popular.. He
    was once a Skinny Kid who was Intellectually Denounced, (From
    which we derive SKIDS). Skids was always picked on by the other
    kids, taunted everytime he went outside. Eventually this became
    too much for him, he dropped out of society, became a couch
    potato, gained weight. Skids was building up a lot of stress
    over the years in the house, everytime the doorbell would ring
    he'd hide in the closet. With no outlet for this buildup of
    stress his hair fell out. This was enough for him, he decided it
    was time to rejoin reality. He'd get a job, a solitary one, but
    paid good, it'd have to make use of his experience with closets
    and what he did in them. While watching TV one day he saw a
    commercial which appealed to him :

    Are You Tired Of Wasting Your Life Away On a Couch?
    Are You Fat, Bald and Ugly?
    Can You Scare Small Children Without Reasonable Effort?
    Do You Enjoy Spending Extended Periods Of Time In Closets?


    THEN DO I HAVE THE CAREER FOR YOU!
    Dial 1-800-JAN-ITOR For More Information!

    It was his dream, he picked up the phone and called
    immediately. He signed up for a 2 week course in Janitorial
    Skills which he literally breezed through, evidently he was made
    for the job. Tuesday - July 22, 1991 came his big break. Skids
    was cleaning out one of the backed up stalls, when Kurt Cobain
    came in to take a leak. Kurt caught glimpse of Skids in the
    mirror and immediately he sprung an erection er.. idea. This guy
    would be PERFECT for his new video! He could see it now.... A
    fat bald guy wringing out a rag soaked with soapy water, as
    erotic cheerleaders dressed in tight black outfits danced before
    him. Skids gladly accepted the job, being able to do his
    janitorial thing and getting paid ten times more appealed to him.
    After Nirvana released him, it became apparent he could never go
    back to his previous low paying "s*** job." Shortly thereafter,
    he was signed by Weird Al Yankovich who signed him up for two
    more small but significant parts in his videos.
    Al was willing to pay even more to Skids, and this made him
    happy. Al and Skids became good friends, maybe too good.. They
    started taking showers together and... HEY WAIT A MINUTE!!! In
    "Smells Like Nirvana" he danced in a tutu and pulled a soggy
    donut from a bucket and took a bite, it is rumored he got a bonus
    for this, in "I Don't Think You Love Me Anymore" he shot a bow
    through the piano player's eye causing a chain reaction which
    ended his life (The Piano Players). The authorities did not like
    this, last time they checked murder was a crime, even for "The
    Fat Bald Janitor Guy" they were forced to arrest him. He was
    thrown into a state prison, the trials started shortly after...
    In a five minute deliberation, the charges where dropped due to a
    virtually unknown clause in the 2nd Degree Murder Law exempting
    Fat Bald Men in Grey Jumpsuits. Skids didn't like the verdict,
    so he said something bad about the judge's mother in front of
    everyone (Which happened to be true) and was thrown back into
    the state prison, where he lived happily ever after with his
    roommate "Butch".

    THE END
    Not actually.. Skids escaped and would appear in
    an Iron Maiden video, before he was shot dead and, then
    crucified. He was already dead, but man his corpse was sorry.
    These events would set up a chain reaction that would lead to a
    cult. Right now, "That Fat Bald Guy From The Nirvana Videoism"
    (or TFBGFTNV for short) Is the fastest rising cult among
    teenagers today, (with Ross Perot ass-kissing a close second),
    the authorities say it MUST STOP, What's that? A late-breaking
    bulletin? We got him to apologize? Great..
    This program will resume after the following news
    brief:
    I, Commander Chaos, would like to apologize for my
    previous comments about destroying felines. I am sure I offended
    lots of people, and of course I'm sorry, but, cats can be
    annoying at times, and while we vent our frustrations by talking
    about it, I would never ever, use any kind of machinery on a
    small helpless- (Chainsaw sounds) Uh, cat, never (Ear-Piercing
    screams), really! (COMMANDER CHAOS HAS BEEN PULLED OFF THE AIR!
    HIS LIES WILL BE DEALT WITH AND WE WILL GET HIM TO APOLOGIZE
    AGAIN! THIS TIME FOR REAL!)
    We now return you to your regularly scheduled cult...
    "TFBGFTNV must stop," says Orange County Cop, Tom Friedman,
    "We've got all these weird people running around with doughnuts,
    and quite frankly, they're cutting in on our job." Even innocent
    people are upset. "They just run past your house and dance
    around, it's a real pain at bridge club meetings." quotes an
    irate Mrs. Parker of Oviedo. The problem is extending, we at THE
    SPAMIAN MOVEMENT are proud to use this crisis for our own
    purposes, to introduce the follow-up to one of last-month's
    religion(s) of the months...

    Swami Deadheads Reporting:

    We all are into the Astrology thing. Well of course these
    are false. Its well known that the art of bone reading is the
    truly accurate future telling device, and is used here. All of
    this is true and is not government funded. So you can believe it
    and dedicate your entire life to it. Your world will
    dramatically change. So here it is.

    ARIES (March 21-April 19): Obviously these people are an
    extension off of Eris, so they should be closer to him. Remember
    you should eat hot-dogs on Fridays, without those buns!!!! The
    future in store for you is this, You will die. Maybe not right
    away, but it will eventually happen! You will meet a person who
    you will fall deeply in love with.
    You will know its the person when they wave a dead chicken
    in front of your face and spit chewing tobacco on your groin.
    You will marry, this cannot be changed. Then your love will
    reveal there true nature, that they are actually gay, and the
    opposite sex that you thought they were.
    For those males out there... children are not possible.

    TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Cows should be killed, since you are
    an extension from the cow... it is suggested that you go and
    consult a psychiatrist about how to change this. Maybe eat less.
    The future in store for you is of grave importance. You will go
    broke due to supporting a spam habit that an alien has. You will
    have sex with the alien and they will dump you. Not like you
    think... from 12 miles in the air.

    GEMINI (May 21-June 21): What kind of moron do you think I am...
    this Astrological Sign does not exist... it is propaganda sent
    out by the government to create killers. Sheesh... didn't you
    see the Exorcist movies??? I would go send a letter bomb to your
    congressmen and ask what the hell is going on! And why you
    turned out the way you are.

    CANCER (June 22-July 22): Poor creatures, you will find God this
    month. He will be lying in a dumpster near a Taco Bell. This
    month you will see that your house may be robbed. To avoid this
    send your address to the P.O. Box listed below. If you are
    robbed. Do not call the police for they will beat you into
    realizing that it was probably the cat who took the TV. The cop
    will leave satisfied that he/she doesn't have to do any paper
    work.

    LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): This is suppose to be a representation of
    a lion. Yeah right, and I'm a six fingered elephant from pluto...
    I would fight any one of you any day after the week! You will
    find that your dog is a transsexual. If this happens, he/she...
    whichever the case may be, will have mad passionate sex with a
    fence post. This is bad. The fence will get angry and rust.
    Avoid this at all costs. It is mating season now... all you
    leos, if you are sexually depressed then kill yourself. It's
    easier that way.


    I wish that I could continue this... but I just broke the
    poor guy's hip bone, and can no longer get accurate readings. If
    you wish to get your own readings, then take your best friend,
    and throw him/her against a large and very hard wall. Then look
    at the order that the bones are placed in. If everything is in
    order and nothing is dislocated, then re-throw. Make sure that
    no bones break. This is bad. Well thanks for reading... await
    next month, when I find a new friend, (preferably one with
    stronger bones) and see what is installed in the future for YOU.


    ----------------------------

    WORD OF THE MONTH : FASEDNASEDOASEDRASEDD

    I cannot say this word, but it is commonly used among
    Spamians. It means all that is good, is bad. And all that is
    bad is good. Nevermind if you don't understand it. Its beyond
    you if you have never eaten spam. Sit down, eat a can or two of

    The Golden Mage on the ROAD!!!

    "Well, it's very hard, and it's all nice and concrete, with two
    little yellow lines running down the center. There are a bunch
    of cars on it, and sometimes you can see some small, furry,
    woodland creatures flattened on it. Yummie."
    - The Golden Mage

    By:

    The Golden Mage, Grand Ultra Super Special Neato Leader/Spiritual
    Adviser of the Paranoia, Propaganda, and Pogroms division of the
    Spamian Movement of the Discordian Society. Dedicated to serving
    the Spamian public by causing massive outbreaks of paranoia,
    starting Green Scares, and coordinating the Spamish Inquisition,
    a bloodthirsty exercise in Cabbage Boiling.

    Last month, The Golden Mage was in Los Angeles for the savage
    riots. As an introduction to this column, he shall tell his
    story:

    It was a beautiful day. The birds were singing, children
    were playing, and smoke was drifting into my window. Now,
    normally, I would just get up and write about the smoke. But
    since I was beginning to run out of Spam anyway, I decided to go
    out and see what was going on, buying some Spam on the way.
    Munching on my newly purchased goodies, I left the
    grocery store. As I walked towards my hotel, I noticed that
    there were people running all about me, smashing windows, and
    killing each other. It suddenly occurred to me that I was in the
    midst of English soccer fans! No, that could not be it! Worse,
    I was a white man trapped in the middle of the L.A. riots!
    Screaming, I ran towards the hotel, hoping to grab my matches and
    join in the fun before it was over.
    As I rounded the corner, into a four way intersection, I
    bumped into an angry mob, with chains and pipes. Nearby, a
    police officer was munching on a doughnut, politely ignoring the
    situation. What could I do? Here I was, the leader of the
    Paranoia, Propaganda, and Pogroms division of the Spamian
    Movement, trapped! Thinking back to my rigorous anti-cabbage
    training, I remembered the Spam I was carrying. Perhaps I had a
    chance after all!

    WE INTERRUPT THIS COLUMN FOR A PUBLIC APOLOGY BY COMMANDER CHAOS:

    I, Commander Chaos am very happy to now own over 20
    cats. I love 'em. They're great. And with salt and pepper make an
    excellent lunch or dinn- (COMMANDER CHAOS WILL MAKE ANOTHER
    ATTEMPT LATER)
    -=-
    I reached into my pocket (A quite large one), and withdrew a
    can of that most omnipotent of meat byproducts.
    I squeezed on the can as hard as I could, neatly forcing
    the contents into my mouth. Swallowing, I felt a jolt of
    strength enter my body. The great Spam had lent me its strength!
    Like a professional wrestler, I flexed my muscles in the smokey
    sunlight. The policeman continued eating his doughnut, oblivious.

    Using the skills I had learned by defeating hordes of
    cabbages, singlehandedly, I projected my foot through the
    leader's testicles, sending them somewhere into Nebraska.
    Gasping his last breath, he collapsed. The rest of the mob
    quickly made their exits. The policeman continued eating his
    doughnut. Later, I learned that he had died of a heart attack,
    somewhere near the middle of this column. Victorious, I left the
    scene, munching on some more lovely Spam.

    A Communion with my Goddess!
    or
    How Much is that Big Hairy Toothsome Fnord in the
    Window
    Part 1

    By:
    Episkapose Gorm KSC WPG KST SOM KMP DOT FPAECUFT.


    Of:
    The Apostles of Eris: Church of Unified Free
    Thought.




    Once upon a time, there was an Erisian named Gorm{1}, and he
    decided to take a stroll with 2 of his very close friends, Samuel
    Wolfowl{2}, and Laurel Goldenflax{3} They were walking near to
    Gorm's Dungeon{4} on a beach of pebbles on Lake Faulkner when the
    following poem came to Gorm. Gorm and Samuel were lying on the
    beach of stones staring into the beautiful Full-Moonlight and the
    light of the stars, and Laurel Approached Gorm, and handed to
    an elixir of visions. Gorm drank the potion, and received this
    vision from his Goddess:

    <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--VISION-->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    Lying on a field of pebbles, I look up, and see the naked
    breasts of my Goddess flash from under her thin white shirt,
    which only reaches her naval.
    But it is dark, and all I get is a Visual taste of what lies
    beneath the silky cloth and normally is totally concealed from my
    hungry view. They are round, and shaded by the fabric in the
    light of an almost full moon. The moonlight shines through the
    material of the shirt, but is diffuse, and is tenuous at best
    without shading. The fabric of her garment hinges on Her
    beautiful shoulders, like shudders blowing in a brisk wind. With
    my mind, I reach up, and caress them. I worship them, Offer them
    my unworthy soul. I lean up and forward, and gently kiss them
    with my undeserving lips. I fondle the small tips with my tongue,
    Trace a fractal pattern around the even smaller nipples,
    ever smaller, until my minds computer crashes because the
    resolution is too small, But alas, I must relinquish this
    thought, as it is nothing but a construct of my unfirm mind. OH!,
    How I long to live within that fiction, eternally a fantasy
    running along my synapses, until the worms eat my last
    molecule! How I would obey the Goddess, cherish her every
    whim.... But again, I am unworthy! I do not deserve even my
    Construct. I Sloth, and Croggle! I vow to make myself worthy! to
    stop Slothing, and loose my Croggle, But I realize that it is
    impossible. My croggle is mine. It defines my personality, Makes
    me, who I really am. It is my program. I sloth through life, and
    will in death too. If only the Goddess would smile at me... She
    does smile, but never enough. Is it my presence that causes her
    displeasure? I live my life to please her.... I accept her
    teasing as a compliment. no one can desire her any more then
    I.... not even close... I cry to myself, Silent tears that never
    fall from my eyes... only well, and threaten to burst forward. I
    love my Goddess, and yet She pretends not to notice, Or Does She
    even notice me? As I drown in Her presence, not just Her Physical
    Beauty, but Her Intellectual being too! She is all I ever dream
    of... Eternity with my Goddess, the Highest plateau of pleasure
    possible! More then just physical pleasure, ACCEPTANCE! I then
    know that what I had thought I had seen, was nothing more then my
    dream.... the Goddess is too beautiful to see with my Eyes.....
    She is but pure love.

    SPLAT!
    The Game.

    Now here's a Game reminiscent of Sink, great for beachtime fun
    (but ya must substitute seagulls for pigeons) OOH, wouldn't
    suggest you get caught playing this one, as your parent's will
    probably force you to undergo 20 needless rabies treatments from
    large needles in your soft&fleshy parts if they hear about it!


    NEEDED:
    --------

    Bicycles, Dirt bikes, or wheelchairs.

    Tennis racquettes, golf clubs, polo mallets, or croquette
    mallets.

    A suitable playing area, shopping mall pkg lot, park, beach or
    golf course. The more daring use rooftops, provided they're flat.


    (Note:bicycles are ineffective at beach)

    A supply of pigeons.

    One of the following: Breadcrumbs, corn, or popcorn.

    A bottle of cheap whisky

    A few cases of cold beer.

    Course preparation and rules:


    The day before, soak bait in whisky. Drink remainder.
    On the day of the game, sprinkle the bait all-over the course.
    Set up goals at either end of the course.
    Divide into two teams. Decide on game length choose goals.
    Winning team is the one that gets the most dead/crippled
    pigeons into their goal at games end. You must stay mounted on
    bike etc. the entire game. Players can steal kills from other
    team until the other team gets the bird into its goal. Once a
    kill is in the goal it can't be stolen.

    Play until:

    1) The time is up
    2) You run out of pigeons
    3) the SPCA arrives in riot gear

    Note: Any kill taken by shotgun, or other anti-air fire is
    disqualified.

    Options:

    Bonus points may be given for other creatures, like gulls, cats,
    dogs, small children, squirrels, rabbits, and politicians.

    Losing team toasts winners with napalm, (and pays for it).

    "The Turkey Curse"
    believe it or not it does work....

    what it does is send a burst of concentrated (or dispersed)
    Eristic Energy in any direction you decide to send it... when it
    contacts Aneristic Energy (order, Bureaucracy, whatever) the 2
    cancel out....
    you either stand, so as to all face the source of the Aneristic
    Energy, or if it is something that has no location, you stand at
    the points of a pentagon facing out. get into a "Bruce Lee" /
    Kung Fu type stance.... you know legs spread out kinda
    squatting.... with a serious-type look on your face, and you then
    make grotesque hand and body movements for 5 seconds and after
    that you point your index fingers at the source, and say
    "Gobble Gobble Gobble Gobble Gobble!"
    If it is a person, don't worry if they look at you funny... it's
    normal for the Pink to act that way... and generally it works...
    but you have to be in a Humorous mood.... and sometimes it takes
    a few times to get the timing correct..

    have fun!

    AND NOW: THE FINAL APOLOGY FROM COMMANDER CHAOS:
    I, Commander Chaos, apologize for eating kitty for
    dinner back there, it was really too bad but it tasted awful good
    I am sorry to say. You will be happy to know that I have been now
    converted into good, the ways of good have taken my sins away, I
    no longer eat kittens... PUPPIES TASTE MUCH BETTER AND THEY ARE
    CHEAPER AND THEY ARE(DAMN HIM.. THE APOLOGY WILL ATTEMPT TO BE

    HAS BEEN LOGGED)
