--1-- ::CIVILIZATION STARTED BY HAWKS::
|
|
|
|
New research by the world's greatest anthropologists
|
|
and psychics has arrived at a startling conclusion.
|
|
The finest of what we call "culture" was inspired by
|
|
birds of prey.
|
|
|
|
Many millenium ago when humans started to practice the
|
|
art of falconry, they had the chance to observe and
|
|
learn from a variety of noble species. Horus the
|
|
falcon God was the earlist known religious force in
|
|
agent Egypt. In the middle ages, the rank of an
|
|
individual was marked by the kind of bird they were
|
|
allowed to fly. American Indians regarded hawks,
|
|
falcons and eagles as mediators with the spirit. They
|
|
would pray to the birds believing that when the bird
|
|
reached the highest point in its flight it would cast
|
|
that prayer to the heavens.
|
|
|
|
"Basically these birds exhibited the kinds of behaviors
|
|
that humans learned to aspire to," said an undisputed
|
|
world authority. "It is a sign of our decadence and
|
|
the collapse of culture that we no longer live among
|
|
them. The average American does not even know the
|
|
difference between a buzzard and a vulture."

Here I am folks, the Internet's favorite commentator.
|
|
Notice they have moved me from the back of this tabloid
|
|
to almost at the front. That's how popular I am.
|
|
Let's hear it for me. (Big applause). And remember to
|
|
write your local bulletin board and have them put me on
|
|
(bigger applause).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Before I get started on whatever I am going to say, I
|
|
want to read some letters that I got from good decent
|
|
law abiding people like yourself. These are on
|
|
America's most popular issue. That's right, folks: the
|
|
Bobbitts (big applause).
|
|
|
|
Before I read these letters, I just want to say
|
|
something about the femi-fascists and the way they want
|
|
to screw up the American mind. They keep talking about
|
|
"temporary insanity". Well I just want to tell you
|
|
that when (sung to the tune of Lizzie Borden)
|
|
|
|
Lorena Bobbitt took a knife
|
|
And gave "Iron John" a change of life <<*>>
|
|
And when the job was nicely done
|
|
She drove around and had some fun
|
|
|
|
THE LADY WAS NOT TEMPORARILY INSANE. She was insane
|
|
when she married the guy. And it was not temporary.
|
|
It went on for years. This just shows you how those
|
|
liberals twist up reality. (big applause)
|
|
|
|
Anyway, let me read the letters.
|
|
|
|
DEAR LUSH:
|
|
|
|
I am tired and offended of all the jokes about this
|
|
Bobbitt thing. It is not funny. It is a sympton of
|
|
what is wrong in this nation. No wonder we have the
|
|
crime rate we do when cops are crawling around a
|
|
parking lot looking for some cock. These people
|
|
should not be in the military and they should not be on
|
|
our police forces.

DEAR MR LIMPBOWEL:
|
|
|
|
You are the wisest man in America and I think that you
|
|
are a gift from God to save our nation. I feel that
|
|
this Bobbitt affair shows how far we have strayed from
|
|
our traditional family values.
|
|
|
|
Mrs. Bobbitt was a loving, doting wife. Her husband
|
|
used to sit around and say how famous he would be and
|
|
how all the women would be jealous of her cause she got
|
|
to clean his dirty underwear. Well she made him famous
|
|
and boy did she clean his stinking jock strap ! She
|
|
also let him live up to his family name. It was "bob
|
|
it" and she did. But the lousy ingrate never even
|
|
thanked her. It's cads like him who make all the
|
|
trouble and cause our high divorce rate.

|
|

|
|
DEAR LUSH::
|
|
|
|
What that lady did was immoral and irresponsible. She
|
|
should never have thrown that thing into a parking lot.
|
|
She should have microwaved it along with the testicles.
|
|
Because of what she and the second surgeon in the case
|
|
did, that man may someday succeed in making somebody
|
|
pregnant. And boy that kid is going to cost the
|
|
government plenty !

|

|
|
|
|
|
|
Now folks, I just want to say something (big applause).
|
|
|
|
A lot of people criticize our western system of
|
|
justice. But this system gave her a chance. An
|
|
Islamic or Confucian court would not have done this.
|
|
So it's time we talked about responsibility.
|
|
|
|
Imagine a different situation. A wife, a husband and a
|
|
strap on. The husband is upset because of his
|
|
sagging, bleeding anus and bites off his wife's
|
|
clitoris. We would not let him get away with it !
|
|
The man would be impeached and sent to prison. (real
|
|
big applause)
|
|
|
|
To me, equal opportunity means equal responsibility.
|
|
We live in a country where most of our men (especially
|
|
the so called elites) sit around and say "I learned it
|
|
this way in college" or "Nobody told me." or "Thats
|
|
just the way it is done." Then they want a raise !
|
|
|
|
The opportunity is out there. Anybody with gumption,
|
|
integrity and brains is needed. And if that person is
|
|
a woman then to me she is "real man". But to get there
|
|
she has to start doing what supposedly real men are not
|
|
doing. She has to take responsibility.
|
|
|
|
So lighten up women ! Its time to stop bitching and
|
|
complaining and take over the system. Boy does it need
|
|
it !
|
|
|

--3-- ::BILL GATES PROVEN TO BE A UFO::
|
|
|
|
An top secret informer so secret that we don't even
|
|
know if she/he/it exists has presented this magazine
|
|
with some top secret information.
|
|
|
|
America's richest computer maggot is actually from
|
|
outer space. His mission is to retard the development
|
|
of earthling technology so that we do not threaten his
|
|
alien species.
|
|
|
|
According to our expert, any dumb cluck could figure
|
|
this out. His race is very long lived and does not
|
|
even pass puberty until they reach fifty earth years.
|
|
"If you look closely at the guy, you will realize that
|
|
he is not from the same planet as the rest of us."
|
|
|
|
According to our possibly nonexistent source, it has
|
|
long been known that Mr. Gates has worked long and hard
|
|
to sabatoge the development of the personal computer.
|
|
However this was usually attributed to his relationship
|
|
with IBM. "People thought he was doing it so that the
|
|
new machines would not threaten the mainframe business.
|
|
However after a while, even IBM could not put up with
|
|
his incredibly bad software. This is why they parted
|
|
company."
|
|
|
|
In fact Bill Gates was trying to destroy the PC
|
|
movement even before he met up with Big Blue. "In the
|
|
seventies, there were two choices of 'computer
|
|
language'. One was the TRAC (text reckoning and
|
|
connecting) language which was easy enough for a
|
|
secretary to use. It automatically supported the
|
|
structures necessary for such things as
|
|
multidimensional spreadsheets, which could deal with
|
|
names and text as well as 'cells' and numbers. It was
|
|
the inspiration of the term 'hypertext'.
|
|
|
|
"The other possible language was BASIC a 'Fortran
|
|
derivative' which was of interest only to those who
|
|
wanted to use the computer to do pseduo algebra, the
|
|
kind of stuff that boring junior high school teachers
|
|
get off on.
|
|
|
|
"Bill Gates convinced the early PC builders (who were
|
|
ignorant of software) that Basic was a 'real computer
|
|
language' because it resembled stuff developed in the
|
|
fifties rather than the sixties and because it was
|
|
impossible for intelligent people to use. In fact
|
|
researchers have discovered that, like television,
|
|
prolonged exposure to this 'language' causes the
|
|
neurons in the brain to cease functioning. Bill Gates
|
|
has continued this process of dumbing down America ever
|
|
since.
|
|
|
|
"The result has been hundreds of billions perhaps
|
|
trillions in unneccesary expenses, absolutely no growth
|
|
in American white collar productivity and a personal
|
|
computer which in many ways is more limited and more
|
|
difficult to use than machines built nearly thirty
|
|
years ago.
|
|
|
|
"It's a little technical, but if Bill Gates had not
|
|
acted, then ordinary writers would be doing 'artificial
|
|
intelligence' and 'multidimensional links' with a set
|
|
of extended punctuation not much more difficult to
|
|
understand than ordinary punctuation. Professional
|
|
programmers would be less necessary. We would be less
|
|
dependent on 'gooeys' (graphical user interfaces) to
|
|
help people do things that were needlessly made
|
|
complicated.
|
|
|
|
"Of course Bill Gates had co-conspirators in this. A
|
|
lot of people hypothesize that they had alien brain
|
|
controllers stuffed up their noses. The result was
|
|
computer development very similar to that which drives
|
|
the stock market and which made the Savings And Loans
|
|
bankrupt."
|
|
|
|
Our top secret government source went on to say. "If I
|
|
was a taxpayer, I would write the president and tell
|
|
him to put Gates and all his buddies into prison and
|
|
take every penny they made and use it to try and
|
|
rectify the mistakes and catch up with where we should
|
|
have been ten years ago. These people are traitors,
|
|
make no mistake about it."

--5-- ::BARNEY UNCOVERED AS DANGEROUS SUBVERSIVE::
|
|
|
|
A recent report by the UnAmerican committee has
|
|
discovered that Barney the dinosaur is a dastardly plot
|
|
by the socialists in Public Television to destroy the
|
|
minds of American Youth and foment nervous breakdowns
|
|
among responsible citizens.
|
|
|
|
"It all started in the sixties" said the ghost of
|
|
Jedgar Hoover (speaking through our special psychic
|
|
hotline). "Back then the kids of America discovered
|
|
that they could drive their parents crazy by playing
|
|
rock and roll. But it took its toll on the minds of
|
|
youth as well. Most of these 'sixties people' were
|
|
closed minded and senile by the time they got to their
|
|
thirties.
|
|
|
|
"Basically the brain damage was so bad that we were
|
|
able to make their children totally sterile comformists
|
|
at a much younger age than was possible for their
|
|
parents."
|
|
|
|
According to this indisputable authority, the movement
|
|
continued with punk rock, rap and numerous other
|
|
fiendish variations. But now the overall strategy of
|
|
this evil, godless conspiracy has changed.
|
|
|
|
"It used to be sort of top down. The older kids would
|
|
play the junk and the younger crowd would take it up.
|
|
But now the preschool crowd is starting revolution on
|
|
their own. Its been proven that 15 minutes of this
|
|
Barney stuff can turn a middle aged 'dult' into a
|
|
dribbling idiot who will give into any and every demand
|
|
that the kid makes. Now the preteens are taking it up
|
|
and there are rumors of sexually mature people forming
|
|
Barney cults. This is only the beginning. If we don't
|
|
do something those Abbie Hoffman <<*>> prophecies that
|
|
the '90s are the '60s turned upside down may come true.
|
|
The establishment may not be able to coopt this
|
|
movement."
|
|
|
|
Our source went on to say that any peanut brain can
|
|
immediately see the danger. "Barney does not sing the
|
|
RIGHT WORDS. He and his friends invent them. This is
|
|
like back in the bad old days when American musicians
|
|
sang what they wanted. Do you know there are hundreds
|
|
of known stanzas to 'Yankee Doodle' and hundreds more
|
|
that nobody ever bothered to write down? This was a
|
|
revolutionary song. We have worked long and hard to
|
|
stamp this kind of thing out. Every song should have
|
|
the 'right words' and these words should be
|
|
copyrighted. Middle aged parents know this. But their
|
|
kids are too young to understand."
|
|
|
|
Barney also has a very bad attitude. "Look at this 'I
|
|
love you, you love me'. If this kind of thing spread
|
|
people might be out playing with each other instead of
|
|
watching television behind locked doors and burglar
|
|
alarms. This could destroy the economy and our
|
|
American way of life. Something has to be done or next
|
|
thing you know, second graders will be running away
|
|
from home and joining hippie communes."
|
|
|
|
Fortunatly there are patriots. "The Internet has a
|
|
group 'alt.barney.die.die.die' which is battling to
|
|
save this country. Some of these people have dared to
|
|
go out (undercover) with Barney and Baby Bop and
|
|
believe me, these walking, talking stuffed animals are
|
|
not what they pretend to be.
|
|
|
|
"Unfortunately, the Barney cultists are trying to
|
|
subvert this bastion of TRUE AMERICANISM. Many commie
|
|
system administrators won't put this news group on
|
|
their machine. If you are on the Internet, send (and
|
|
keep sending) mail to your administrator demanding that
|
|
they not only put these unsung American heroes on, but
|
|
that nobody be allowed to do anything else until they
|
|
have read every message ever posted to the group and
|
|
answered (with no mistakes) a 1,000 question quiz.
|
|
Also we need to pull the accounts of all Barney
|
|
supporters. This is the only way to save the country.
|
|
|
|
"And remember that when you drive or walk, never, never
|
|
make a left turn. It's too dangerous. Just turn right
|
|
three times. It works just as well. And you feel
|
|
proud doing it."
