AND NOW A WORD FROM THE ATI PUBLISHER
|
||
|
||
Ugh!
|
||
|
||
OK, that was two words, sorry. All Right.
|
||
I turn this column over to my close friend
|
||
Cygnus (860) who has a few good words for you
|
||
all:
|
||
|
||
Dear Sirs,
|
||
Do you ever get replies to your bulk
|
||
emailing that could be considered emotionally
|
||
damaging? If so I have written a program
|
||
that filters out phrases such as "Spam Spewing
|
||
Simpletons" or "Leave me alone you Bastards"
|
||
from incoming emails, leaving you undisturbed
|
||
with the untold countless millions that await
|
||
you in your new found effort to get rich without
|
||
ever really producing a product or indeed a
|
||
service that is worth anything.
|
||
I have even made the filter's sensitivity
|
||
level adjustable so that you can set the
|
||
automatic deletion function to activate at
|
||
the familiar phrase "Fuck You" at minimum
|
||
to "I didn't request any of this information",
|
||
or "Unsubscribe" at maximum.
|
||
Obviously you are not someone who is
|
||
interested in such intangibles as demographics
|
||
or anything as complicated as market research.
|
||
You believe that everyone should be interested
|
||
in your new found way of buying houses using
|
||
only used popsicle sticks and husks of Spanish
|
||
onions. I applaud you for your deep under
|
||
standing of human nature that everyone wants
|
||
to know these things and will send you $19.95
|
||
to reward you for your philanthropic endeavors.
|
||
And there is no reason why you should have to
|
||
put up with the few ingrates that wish to
|
||
vocalize their misguided frustration by sending
|
||
negatively charged email to you , directly
|
||
interfering with your ability to enjoy making
|
||
the untold millions that await you.
|
||
My simple program SCUMRID costs a mere
|
||
$35.00, takes up a mere 50k of disk space,
|
||
and takes seconds to install and works FAST.
|
||
Some even say its over efficient, increasing
|
||
system performance in areas they didn't expect.
|
||
Many companies insist that after using my
|
||
program they found they had increased the
|
||
amount of free hard drive space to a level
|
||
they had enjoyed before they installed their
|
||
bulk emailing program and in some case their
|
||
ENTIRE OPERATING SYSTEM!!!

I've just recieved a disturbing phone
|
||
call from a couple of long time on
|
||
the land supporters at Big Mntn.
|
||
Today (Feb 2, '99) the livestock
|
||
confiscations may have started in earnest,
|
||
or at the very least they are surveying
|
||
the areas they intend to hit soon.
|
||
There were aparently several confiscation
|
||
crews on the land around what we call
|
||
"Down town Big Mntn" or the area around
|
||
Anna Mae camp. That's realy all i know
|
||
but it disturbs me enuf to send out this
|
||
posting. The supporters have asked me
|
||
to send out a request for immeadiate
|
||
supporter presence on the land. Any who
|
||
can get out there in the next day or two
|
||
are asked to do so. This is at the
|
||
very least a harrasment and threat of
|
||
confiscation to mess with the elders heads.
|
||
The relocation folks are growing desperate
|
||
to get the last resisters off the land
|
||
before the UN can act.

USPS ANNOUNCES "THIRD PENNY" INCREASE.
|
||
<PAWN>-Washington, DC
|
||
Unveiling a stamp series devoted to the
|
||
Longplaying album (the LP) the United
|
||
States Postal Service will be increasing
|
||
price April 1, 1999 by 1/3 of a penny
|
||
to make the cost of delivering a first
|
||
class letter thirty three and one third
|
||
cents.
|
||
General Inspector, Sidney Bloomingthal
|
||
said the stamps will be really neat.
|
||
"Buddy Holly, Elvis, Marco Capelli,
|
||
the Beatles, Little Eva, Harry Fox,
|
||
Phil Spector, they're all gonna be on
|
||
there," said Bloomingthal at a press
|
||
conference yesterday at the Rose Garden.
|
||
He said each stamp will honor someone
|
||
who's put out an album. If they don't have
|
||
an LP, they won't be on a stamp. That got
|
||
around regulations for only honoring dead
|
||
people. Each person's face will be
|
||
emblazoned inside an album. Artists are
|
||
being hired from a field of poppies as
|
||
we go to press.
|
||
Bloomingthal called for a 24-hour
|
||
moment of silent speculation as to what
|
||
other musicians will be honored on the
|
||
33 1/3 cent stamp this April. Rumors are
|
||
that Michael B. Williams, Getty "John Paul"
|
||
Lee, and KISS will all make an appearance.

"I'm praying about this [Clinton's peaches

figuratively, this is a serious matter."

|

OPEN LETTER TO SOMETIME SENATOR ROBERT BYRD
|
||
When have you been figurative about praying??
|
||
I REALLY want to know this.
|
||
Tipping your hand, you give me need now to
|
||
ask every human who calls the self a Christian
|
||
how figuratively they be.
|
||
|
||
Do you swear to schpiel the truth, the ruthless
|
||
truth, and nothing but the soothsaying sleuthtruth
|
||
so help you fig leaf?
|

Spring is here, can you hear it?
|

Birds. You've been right since 5 or 6 years old.
|

Don't let them beat it out of you. Or you've got

"uphill," getting it back the rest of your life!

Do you recognise all the songs you hear
|
||
Are the melodies slow to leave your ear
|
||
Well I could say the same
|
||
Of course I heard them first
|
||
They came to me in dreams
|
||
Then people stole my work
|
||
|
||
I'm a ghostwriter
|
||
Oh
|
||
I'm a ghostwriter
|
||
Oh
|
||
|
||
Did you really believe those clowns compose
|
||
Haven't you noticed
|
||
the playback at their shows
|
||
Well they don't want you to hear
|
||
how they really sound
|
||
And they don't want me to be
|
||
anywhere around
|
||
|
||
'Cause I'm their ghostwriter
|
||
Oh
|
||
I'm a ghostwriter
|
||
Oh
|
||
|
||
Give a little bit of bass
|
||
Watch the seventh and the flat
|
||
Keep the cello where it's at
|
||
No vibrato on the eighth
|
||
Have the girls sing in thirds
|
||
Have the flautists play like birds.
|
||
|
||
Now they've hypnotised millions
|
||
with their licks
|
||
Using all of the high-tech studio tricks
|
||
And starving chaps like me
|
||
live in obscurity
|
||
While so-called "super-stars"
|
||
fill the phoney charts
|
||
|
||
I'm a ghostwriter
|
||
Oh
|
||
I'm a ghost-writer
|
||
Oh
|
||
|
||
Watch the level on the verse
|
||
Catch the echo
|
||
Change the snare
|
||
Put some reverb back in there
|
||
|
||
Try to punch in if you can
|
||
Got to tune before you pan
|
||
|
||
Load the samples in the box
|
||
Try compressing at the gate
|
||
Bounce the tracks
|
||
It's getting late
|
||
|
||
Find the humming in the mix
|
||
Get the chips off of the board
|
||
Now the decibles have soared
|
||
|
||
Make it analog to DAT
|
||
Leave the digital alone
|
||
The union freaks are going home
