SHIT ALERT - SHIT ALERT - SHIT ALERT - SHIT ALERT

|
|
The 1993 Award for the worst, phoniest bullshit goes to the entire city of
|
|
MYRTLE BEACH, SC. After seeing it for the first time after a period of several
|
|
years, the remaining vestiges of fun have all been turned into cheesy T-shirt
|
|
shops. You can still play any kind of video game you like, as long as that
|
|
game is a Kung-fu-fighting game. The best clubs have closed down, the few that
|
|
remain have no slack or vibe whatsoever. The only thing that hasn't changed is
|
|
the legions of butthead police, who must save you from the evils of drinking a
|
|
beer or having fun. The beach itself is OK, being relatively free of toxic
|
|
wastes. Not even doing away with the Sunday alcohol blue-law has helped the
|
|
overall scene, though. If you're looking for fun, don't bother here.
|
|
[and for those who might say that its just *me* getting older and more cynical,
|
|
go look for yourselves. The psychic rot from NMB has finally spread south.]
|
|
|
|
The only thing that kept the whole trip from being a complete fucking waste was
|
|
the only late show in town (in a town which once had TONS of midnight movies..)
|
|
Not for the squeamish, The Faces of Death part IV
|
|
is highly recommended. This is *real* death on
|
|
camera, ranging from the usual series of grisly
|
|
accidents, to attacks by deadly mutant creatures
|
|
from toxic pollution, culinary treats from other <Picture of the
|
|
cultures, miscalculated bungee jumps,loose psychos certificate of
|
|
in hospitals, and dictatorship police slaughtering survival>
|
|
their own people in the streets. Maybe the NRA
|
|
might be onto something after all. Plus, if you
|
|
can make it through the entire showing, you get
|
|
the OFFICIAL Faces of Death IV certificate of ->
|
|
survival. It doesn't mention whether
|
|
you made it through without tossing
|
|
G your cookies, as there were definitely
|
|
a few close calls in the theatre.

|
|
Congratulations, or something like that, to the graduating classes
|
|
A of 1993. Now that you've finished kissing the asses of a bunch of
|
|
Conspiracy teachers, get ready to pucker up and bend over for the
|
|
P Conspiracy "Bureaucrats" that will define your existence from this
|
|
point forward. Give a big thanks to Bill Clinton and previous
|
|
H administrations for your future career flipping greaseburgers at
|
|
your local McDonald's. Expect the only "change" that will occur
|
|
I under this current batch of do-gooders is that the pace of the
|
|
Conspiracy will INCREASE. Don't look at me- I voted for "Bob".

Donating Money for U.S. Debt Is Like Giving Booze to a Wino
|
|
by Tom Barberi
|
|
|
|
Am I missing something?
|
|
The government has dug a $4.2 trillion - that's $4,200,000,000,000 -
|
|
debt. It has done this by taking every dime it could, with every tax
|
|
imaginable and spending more than it took in.
|
|
Now the Clinton administration proposes to pay off the debt by taking
|
|
even more money from us. Not only that, but it is going to spedn a whole
|
|
bunch more on new stuff. On top of that, a 14-year-old North Dakota boy and
|
|
his well publicized $1,000 donation toward the national debt has fostered
|
|
similar nutty behavior.
|
|
Could it be the hole in the ozone layer?, El Nino?, gloval warming?, Not
|
|
evnough dietary fiber?
|
|
What prompts otherwise rational people to take time out of busy lives to
|
|
put on a bake sale and send the proceeds to that money-gobbling machine in
|
|
Washington?
|
|
I don't get it. Even a batch of fifth-graders from Ohio peddled baked
|
|
goodies cleverly named for our leaders: Bill Brownies, Gore Goodies, Capitol
|
|
Hill Cookies, Tipper Toffee and Oval Office Oatmeal. They raised $278.50.
|
|
I'm surprised they didn't try to market Socks Suckers. Maybe they
|
|
realized those might wake people up. This wave of citizen guilt for a
|
|
problem they didn't create isn't limited to school kids.
|
|
The staff of a weekly newspaper in North Dakota is planning a bake sale.
|
|
The Eskimo Pie Corp. has decided to donate to the same cause: 5 cents for
|
|
every box of its chocolate-coated vanilla ice cream snacks sold between
|
|
tomorrow and April 4th.
|
|
Isn't that like double taxation? If that company truly wanted to do
|
|
something for the economy, wouldn't it make more sense to lower the price of
|
|
an Eskimo Pie by 5 cents? That way the consumer would have more money to
|
|
spend supporting other businesses that pay taxes or employ people who pay
|
|
taxes.
|
|
Sending the government more money that it already confiscates from us is
|
|
like giving a wino a key to the state liquor store. What is the first thing
|
|
that a credit counselor does when people come in for help? He or she cuts up
|
|
the credit cards and creates a budget that will lead them out of debt.
|
|
The ease with which government created this mammoth debt was illustrated
|
|
the other night on the news when the manager of a former defense contractor,
|
|
who was shifting his company to perform in-military work, said the company
|
|
now would have to do some real thinking because private business won't pay
|
|
$600 for a toilet seat or $400 for a hammer.
|
|
To put out a fire you have to remove its fuel source. It only makes
|
|
sense that to put out this D.C. spending inferno, we must cut off its money
|
|
supply - or at least thin it out.

The True Adventures of Jim Morrison: Space Ranger Part 1
|
|
|
|
|
|
The shooting had stopped. The jungle's quiet was disturbed only by
|
|
the sound of inch-long mosquitos flying through the humid summer air.
|
|
A full moon gave Morrison's face a ghastly pall as he reloaded his Tarantula
|
|
9000. The Tarantula was a fine weapon, a 50 caliber recoilless machine
|
|
pistol of a type that would not be mass-produced for another twenty years.
|
|
Damn. If only the Viet Cong patrol hadn't returned to their camp
|
|
half an hour early. Damn. If only he hadn't gotten separated from his
|
|
squad during the firefight. Damn. If only any of a vicious chain of events
|
|
that deposited him here, alone, hungry and sick, in the jungles of southern
|
|
Thailand, hundreds of miles away from his base camp, hadn't happened. Damn.
|
|
Morrison tried to clear his mind by concentrating on his Tarantula.
|
|
It was a prototype, a weapon he had rescued from the laboratories of a
|
|
dead Ceylonese weaponsmith, and he hadn't been taking proper care of it.
|
|
Now, the loading mechanism was jammed, and he didn't have the tools to
|
|
repair it correctly. He tried to improvise using his pocketknife, the one
|
|
he'd picked up during the Doors' last tour, years before.
|
|
He worked long into the night, slapping at the mosquitos that descended
|
|
in clouds to drink the blood from his exposed arms and chest. So intent
|
|
was he on his work that he did not notice the subtle change in the quality
|
|
of the moonlight as it slowly altered from silvery-white to blood-red, until
|
|
the sound of inhuman voices nearby attracted his attention.
|
|
|
|
|
|
[Moving shot from over the right shoulder of walking man. All we
|
|
can see of the man is his dark blue suit and that he has short Bryllcreemed
|
|
hair and a pipe, which occasionally trails smoke into the camera lens.
|
|
He walks down a steel-grey corridor, his shoes clicking on the concrete
|
|
floor. He stops at a door with two security guards in front of it.
|
|
The guards immediately stand at attention as the man approaches.]
|
|
|
|
Man: Hi guys! Gee, it's a real scorcher outside, isn't it?
|
|
|
|
Guard 1: Yes, Mr. Dobbs.
|
|
|
|
[Guards stand aside as Dobbs approaches a small panel beside the door.
|
|
After a retinal scan, fingerprint scan, voice check, and magnetic ID check,
|
|
the bolt on the door automatically clicks open. The camera pans back as
|
|
Dobbs enters the room, revealing a blindingly white room, with computer and
|
|
medical equipment lining the walls. Dominating the room is a large plexi-
|
|
glass tank with a shadowy figure floating within. Around the tank are
|
|
arranged more pieces of equipment and white-coated technicans.]
|
|
|
|
Dobbs: Hi everybody! Gee, it's a real scorcher outside, yep.
|
|
|
|
TECHNICIANS: Hello Mr. Dobbs.
|
|
|
|
[Dobbs approaches the tank]
|
|
|
|
Dobbs: So this is our man, eh? Stang, fill me in.
|
|
|
|
Dr. Stang: We found him in Thailand three days ago, during a routine
|
|
border patrol. He was suffering from multiple gunshot wounds and malaria.
|
|
It's a miracle he survived as long as he did. At the time, he kept mumbling
|
|
'give me back my tarantulas'. However, by the time we got him back to
|
|
Dobbstown hospital, his condition had degenerated drastically, so I decided
|
|
to bring him here.
|
|
|
|
Dobbs: Well, well, well. Let's have a look at him, okay?
|
|
|
|
[Dr. Stang lifts back the cover of the tank to reveal the mad,
|
|
glittering eyes of Jim Morrison!]
|
|
|
|
Dobbs: Hi Jim! Gee, it's a real scorcher outside, huh?
|
|
|
|
Dr. Stang: "Bob", he can't hear you.
|
|
|
|
Dobbs: Well, maybe not with his *brain* so much...
|
|
|
|
Dr. Stang: We've scheduled the brain surgery to implant the microchips
|
|
for Thursday...
|
|
|
|
Dobbs: Thursday? I go bowling Thursday...
|
|
|
|
Dr. Stang: We've already cloned the replacement heart and right leg,
|
|
so this will be the last operation. He'll be recovering in the tanks for
|
|
a few months, though.
|
|
|
|
Dobbs: You were able to save the...
|
|
|
|
Dr. Stang: Uh, yes.
|
|
|
|
Dobbs: Oh, good. Well, once you're back on your feet, Mr. Morrison,
|
|
what should I do with you? Computer?
|
|
|
|
Computer: Hi there, "Bob"!
|
|
|
|
Dobbs: Hi! What are the latest projections involving Jim by Project
|
|
Ragnarok?
|
|
|
|
Computer: A real good question, "Bob"! It seems Mr. Morrison here
|
|
will be vitally important to our plans during the summer of 1997, but the
|
|
public can't be allowed to know that he's alive until 1993 at the earliest.
|
|
At least, that's what the precogs say.
|
|
|
|
Dobbs: And not letting him do concerts would rob him of vital Slack.
|
|
Hmm...
|
|
|
|
[Dobbs meditates briefly, and as he does, an eerie high-pitched hum
|
|
fills the air. A technician kicks the terminal next to her and the hum
|
|
stops.]
|
|
|
|
Dobbs: Jeepers! I've got it! We'll put him on a mini-tour of this
|
|
arm of the galaxy. Jimi's been needing a vocalist, and we can't get Lennon.
|
|
|
|
Dr. Stang: And since he'll be travelling most of the distance near
|
|
lightspeed, he'll hardly age, so he'll be in great shape for the end times!
|
|
Great work, "Bob"!
|
|
|
|
Dobbs: Aw, shucks.
