Editor's note:
|
|
Well, I've finally become confident enough in my competence
|
|
and dedication to start to offer subscriptions to this fine piece
|
|
of trash. $5 for 6 issues is how it's looking now. Anyway, Here's
|
|
the story of my life for the past week. It all started about a
|
|
week ago when my politics class was assigned a 4-5 page paper on
|
|
Karl Marx due on Tues.(today). I'm president of a school group
|
|
that raises money for a school in Haiti, and we had a show this
|
|
weekend (that my band played in) and so I was going to do that on
|
|
Sat. Fugazi played Sun. night, and that was on my list too. So
|
|
I don't get out all weekend except to play this show (quick
|
|
tangent: after the show I went down to Georgetown to eat with some
|
|
friends, and when we park we find out that one of our tires is
|
|
popped, and we spend the next few hours getting it fixed by some
|
|
towing guy who was drunk and had a hell of a lisp, but I won't go
|
|
into that), and to see fugazi Sunday (which was amazing, I'll
|
|
review it in this issue). It wasn't that bad (I could have used
|
|
a little more time than 5 days for a 4 page paper, and this was the
|
|
worst weekend it could happen in, but...), but yesterday I had 4
|
|
wisdom teeth out.
|
|
I go in there and I have to sign something promising that if
|
|
i died I wouldn't sue them. (Other risks: brain damage, a hole in
|
|
my sinuses, and complete lack of feeling in my face for the rest
|
|
of my life.) So I sign my life away and they take me to the
|
|
dentist's chair. After rinsing my mouth out they tie up my arm,
|
|
have me clutch a towel, and shoot me up with a mixture of valium
|
|
and some other narcotics. I remember being able to tell that they
|
|
were doing something, but closing my eyes and not being able to
|
|
close my mouth, and that everything seemed really, really funny.
|
|
I also thought the whole thing lasted about 5 minutes (It really
|
|
lasted about half an hour.) Long story short--> I go home with
|
|
blood gushing out of my mouth (it's still bleeding a bit as I type
|
|
(and it's a day later)), giddy as a schoolgirl from whatever they
|
|
shot into me. Right now I'm souped up (I love that term, souped
|
|
up) on some codeine-like painkillers, and today of all days the
|
|
computer picks to fuck up and delete my 2 pages of zine reviews
|
|
that I did. But that's ok. I have strong fingers and a quick mind.
|
|
By the time you read this, I'll have the reviews done and in your
|
|
hands. What a doll I am.
|
|
More stuff: If you like zines (which you probably do since
|
|
you're reading one and all) and you have a modem, call my BBS.
|
|
It's called the Omniverse (dumb name, I may change it soon) and the
|
|
# is 301-718-0225. It's got lots of zine info, a few editors, and
|
|
lots of stuff on the punk scene in general. What else....Oh, yeah,
|
|
If you ever hear that The Eddie Blue Knees Band is playing, come
|
|
and watch us. I play bass. Introduce yourself to me. If you get
|
|
ahold of this before January 20th, 1995, come see us play at NCS,
|
|
near the Washington Cathedral. All proceeds from that show will
|
|
go to benefit that school in Haiti.
|
|
Ok, I guess I'll wrap this up and leave space for some art at
|
|
the bottom.. The address for submissions, subscriptions, trades,
|
|
stuff to be reviewed, is:
|
|

|
|
Chevy Chase, MD 20815
|
|
E-Mail:
|
|

|
|
OK, here are the "policies": I love to trade zines, it helps a lot
|
|
if you indicate "TRADE" somewhere on yours/in yours (on the address
|
|
label maybe?) I will review anything sent my way:zines, music,
|
|
books, videos, etc., etc., etc...let me into a show for free and
|
|
I'll promise to review that too.
|
|
Submit ANY type of writing, I'll probably print it. I'll send you
|
|
a few copies of the issue you're printed in. Same with art, photos
|
|
are cool, but the best thing to send is pen-drawn art. (pencil is
|
|
not as well picked up by the xerox, but it'll do....)
|
|
Free ads, free classifieds, etc. If you send it, I'll print it.

Hello. First report from the other side. I arrived here shortly
|
|
after departure, to a storm of red and blue spitting down paint.
|
|
It is comfortable here, a bit jarring here {I believe because of
|
|
Jet lag of the type} at first, but i foresee a long and ingenuating
|
|
stay. I see a majestic courtyard of magnetic yellow and blue faded
|
|
as if it were under ice. I am being pricked and jabbed by a
|
|
repressed memory, fearful of discovery. Discovery's the goal,
|
|
right, so I return to the courtyard. It is located in a faded tan
|
|
castle whose walls are covered by gripping Ivy. At this point it
|
|
promptly disappears into a rave, with disco ball, dark otherwise.
|
|
It appears to be in some sort of cave, filled with stalagmite
|
|
columns painted into swirls toward the ceiling by luminescent
|
|
paint. Cut-out silhouettes of happy 50's couples together against
|
|
visual effects. Hole in scene reveals a happy Caucasian couple on
|
|
the beach. Neighborhood watch sign. Abraham Lincoln on the beach
|
|
with a mohawk. Clean cut Beaver cleaver type, smile as big as
|
|
Texas, on a Poster. There's something I want to say, but I find
|
|
myself running between two close, tall curved mirrors. I fade out,
|
|
and will continue the report when the sun is up again.

Sleeping, holding midnight pattern,
|
|
I saw the girl across the row
|
|
Her eyes were blonde, her hair was blue
|
|
She gently sucked upon her toe
|
|
I floated over, misty eyed,
|
|
Wandering wrecked upon the train
|
|
One billion purplish bubbly fizzes
|
|
Burnt like acid in my brain
|
|
Then you ripped your hair away
|
|
Your scalp now shiny dented dome
|
|
My wrists drip blood upon your tongue
|
|
(And smiling, asks me for a comb).

some stuff by Lester Oliver
|
|
We've moved from The Federal Poverty Level all the way to
|
|
"Economically Disadvantaged". Now we're headed back down. The
|
|
economy seems to be a disaster everywhere. Did you hear that
|
|
Manpower is now the largest employer in the US? Commentators talk
|
|
about how people have a "sense of foreboding", and what they can
|
|
do to get over it. Good grief. Anybody who doesn't have a sense of
|
|
foreboding is either brain dead or watches FAR too much television
|
|
(or is that the same thing?)
|
|
A recent AP story reported that Haiti is in such terrible economic
|
|
shape because "1% of the population controls 50% of the wealth"
|
|
Well dust ma' broom. Last I heard, here in the US, 1% of the
|
|
population controls between 72% and 84% of the wealth. Let's face
|
|
it: Amerika is a 'third world country'.
|
|
|
|
Twenty-five years ago, I expected a revolution. Now that I'm older
|
|
well, now, at any rate, I expect the bloodiest, most brutal Civil
|
|
War that the world has ever seen. "The end of history", as the
|
|
Russians call it.
|
|
-Look at Waco and The Branch Davidians (The Government lied)
|
|
-Militias are forming on the left and right.
|
|
-Federal Detention Centers = A (clean) Auschwitz?
|
|
|
|
I think that Bosnia / Hertz-a-ga-inna-gadda-davida (whatever)
|
|
provides a glimpse of our own future. And there will be lots of
|
|
foreign support for any war against "The Great Satan".
|
|
|
|
Remember Bruce Coburn's song "If I Had a Rocket Launcher"?
|
|
"How I hate the Generals,
|
|
And their bloody torture state.
|
|
If I had a rocket launcher,
|
|
I would not hesitate."
|
|
Well, some folks do have rocket launchers. Unfortunately, I'm not
|
|
one of them.

|

|
People can extract ortho-phosphate nerve agents in their garage
|
|
(handy household hint: start with Shell NO-PEST Strips, or
|
|
Blackleaf 40). Or purify ricin. (Start with Castor Beans, extract
|
|
with isopropyl alcohol, concentrate.)
|
|
|
|
SKS rifles are still available for around $75. (Please see
|
|
enclosed) Enfields and Moison-Nagents run from $35 to $55. Gewrer
|
|
1888 Commission Mausers (8 mm) are as cheap as $25, and are
|
|
considered a 'Curio/Relic' and aren't subject to *ANY* gun control
|
|
laws!!! You just have to keep the pressures down in the loads for
|
|
the 1888's. Even so, they're accurate to around 500 yards, and
|
|
effective at 1500.

TWINKIE FAILURE TESTING
|
|
by Terry
|
|
|
|
In an effort to clarify questions about the purported
|
|
durability and unusual physical characteristics of Twinkies, we
|
|
subjected the Hostess snack logs to the following experiments:
|
|
|
|
EXPOSURE:
|
|
A Twinkie was left on a window ledge for four days, during
|
|
which time an inch and a half of rain fell. Many flies were
|
|
observed crawling across the Twinkie's surface, but contrary to
|
|
hypothesis, birds -- even pigeons -- avoided this potential source
|
|
of sustenance.
|
|
Despite the rain and prolonged exposure to the sun, the
|
|
Twinkie retained its original color and form. When removed, the
|
|
Twinkie was found to be substantially dehydrated. Cracked open,
|
|
it was observed to have taken on the consistency of industrial foam
|
|
insulation; the filling, however, retained its advertised
|
|
"creaminess."
|
|
|
|
RADIATION:
|
|
A Twinkie was placed in a conventional microwave oven, which
|
|
was set for precisely 4 minutes -- the approximate cooking time of
|
|
bacon. After 20 seconds, the oven began to emit the Twinkie's
|
|
rich, characteristic aroma of artificial butter. After 1 minute,
|
|
this aroma began to resemble the acrid smell of burning rubber.
|
|
The experiment was aborted after 2 minutes, 10 seconds, when thick,
|
|
foul smoke began billowing from the top of the oven. A second
|
|
Twinkie was subjected to the same experiment. This Twinkie leaked
|
|
molten white filling. When cooled, this now epoxy like filling
|
|
bonded the Twinkie to its plate, defying gravity; it was removed
|
|
only upon application of a butter knife.
|
|
|
|
EXTREME FORCE:
|
|
A Twinkie was dropped from a ninth-floor window, a fall of
|
|
approximately 120 feet. It landed right side up, then bounced onto
|
|
its back. The expected "splatter" effect was not observed.
|
|
Indeed, the only discernible damage to the Twinkie was a narrow
|
|
fissure on its underside. Otherwise, the Twinkie remained
|
|
structurally intact.
|
|
|
|
EXTREME COLD:
|
|
A Twinkie was placed in a conventional freezer for 24 hours.
|
|
Upon removal, the Twinkie was not found to be frozen solid, but its
|
|
physical properties had noticeably "slowed": the filling was found
|
|
to be the approximate consistency of acrylic paint, while
|
|
exhibiting the mercury like property of not adhering to practically
|
|
any surface. It
|
|
was noticed that the Twinkie had generously absorbed freezer odors.
|
|
|
|
|
|
EXTREME HEAT:
|
|
A Twinkie was exposed to a gas flame for 2 minutes. While
|
|
the Twinkie smoked and blackened and the filling in one of its
|
|
"cream holes" boiled, the Twinkie did not catch fire. It did,
|
|
however, produce the same "burning rubber" aroma noticed during the
|
|
irradiation experiment.
|
|
|
|
IMMERSION:
|
|
A Twinkie was dropped into a large beaker filled with tap
|
|
water. The Twinkie floated momentarily, began to list and sink,
|
|
and viscous yellow tendrils ran off its lower half, possibly
|
|
consisting of a water-soluble artificial coloring. After 2 hours,
|
|
the Twinkie had bloated substantially. Its coloring was now a very
|
|
pale tan -- in contrast to the yellow, urine-like water that
|
|
surrounded it. The Twinkie bobbed when touched, and had a
|
|
gelatinous texture. After 72 hours, the Twinkie was found to have
|
|
bloated to roughly 200 percent of its original size, the water had
|
|
turned opaque, and a small, fan-shaped spray of filling had leaked
|
|
from one of the "cream holes."
|
|
Unfortunately, efforts to remove the Twinkie for further
|
|
analysis were abandoned when, under light pressure, the Twinkie
|
|
disintegrated into an amorphous cloud of debris. A distinctly sour
|
|
odor was noted.
|
|
|
|
SUMMARY OF RESULTS
|
|
The Twinkie's survival of a 120-foot drop, along with some
|
|
of the unusual phenomena associated with the "creamy filling" and
|
|
artificial coloring, should give pause to those observers who would
|
|
unequivocally categorize the Twinkie as "food." Further clinical
|
|
inquiry is required before any definite conclusions can be drawn.

Deregulating Drug Use: an @narchist perspective
|
|
|
|
The debate about drug use in this country is usually
|
|
framed in terms of continued criminalization vs. legalization. the
|
|
positions in this debate mean continued harassment, including
|
|
arrests, imprisonment, theft of property, and possibly in the near
|
|
future, execution of drug dealers and users, vs. legal regulation
|
|
of drug use and sales, similar to that of alcohol and cigarettes,
|
|
including heavy taxation, and restraints on where, when and to whom
|
|
drugs can be sold. Both of these positions are based on the same
|
|
assumption, government has the right to tell individuals what they
|
|
can and cannot do. While legalization would surely be preferable
|
|
to continued criminalization, there is a third alternative:
|
|
decriminalization and deregulation.
|
|
Decriminalization and deregulation of drugs would mean no laws
|
|
against drugs, no government regulation of drugs' sales and use,
|
|
no arrests, no prisons, no taxes. Eliminating drug laws, instead
|
|
of simply replacing them with different laws, would produce a free
|
|
market in drugs where people would be free to sell, ingest, or
|
|
inject whatever they wished, without government interference.
|
|
Drug use is a voluntary, non-violent activity, and should
|
|
be an individual decision, the business of no one but the user.
|
|
Government has taken it upon itself to regulate drug use, just as
|
|
it regulates alcohol use, restricts abortion, and registers and
|
|
drafts people, in order to better control them. Criminalization of
|
|
drugs has produced, just as prohibition of alcohol did, an enormous
|
|
amount of violent crime. Most of this crime is motivated by the
|
|
need to obtain money to pay the artificially inflated price of
|
|
illegal drugs. This drug-associated crime is then used as an excuse
|
|
for police to indiscriminately harass young black men, stopping and
|
|
searching, and frequently arresting them on the street, for no
|
|
reason other than that they live in a "high crime" area. Doing away
|
|
with drug laws would dramatically lower the cost of drugs and
|
|
thereby eliminate most street crime, as well as remove the excuse
|
|
police use to terrorize black people.
|
|
Decriminalization and deregulation and the resultant
|
|
competitive market in drugs would produce purer and safer drugs,
|
|
eliminating much of the death and illness associated with drug use,
|
|
most of which is caused by contamination of drugs or needles, and
|
|
unreliable drug strength, not by the nature of the drug itself.
|
|
Heroin is no more dangerous than aspirin if it is carefully
|
|
prepared without dangerous additives and injected with a sterile
|
|
needles. And aspirin overdose can kill as easily as heroin
|
|
overdose, it just takes longer and feels worse. Decriminalizing
|
|
needle use would virtually eliminate the transmission of AIDS among
|
|
IV drug users, as has been the experience in the 38 American states
|
|
which do not restrict sale of sterile needles. Needle exchange
|
|
programs are not enough; there need to be more needles available
|
|
to eliminate needle sharing.
|
|
Besides abolishing laws against recreational drugs,
|
|
eliminating government regulation of "therapeutic" drugs would also
|
|
benefit people. The FDA prevents many drugs from reaching the
|
|
market, including treatments for AIDS, cancer and other serious
|
|
illnesses. And those that do eventually become available are
|
|
delayed for years by FDA rules, while thousands die. The government
|
|
is currently responsible for restrictions on aerosolized
|
|
pentamidine, a drug which prevents Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia,
|
|
the most frequent cause of death in people who have AIDS. Just as
|
|
drug laws lead to deaths associated with street drugs and keep
|
|
people from obtaining sterile needles to prevent transmission of
|
|
AIDS, drug laws are killing people with AIDS by denying them
|
|
effective treatment. Drug laws in this country are also preventing
|
|
marketing of newly developed abortifacients, drugs which induce
|
|
abortion early in pregnancy, freeing women from their current
|
|
reliance on the medical establishment for abortion services. these
|
|
drugs would put the decision about abortion where it belongs: with
|
|
the individual.
|
|
Eliminating drug laws would greatly increase people's options
|
|
in the areas of pleasure and health. It would also reduce crime,
|
|
reduce death and illness associated with illegal drug use, and
|
|
reduce deaths from AIDS and other serious illnesses. Individuals
|
|
should be free to make their own decisions about drug use, and all
|
|
other aspects of their lives, without the interference of
|
|
government or "the community".
