We need this one so bad I'm crying over here, while I listen to the man from the BBC interview you live as I drive down the street with all the paper mills. Thank you, marco >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>------------<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Activist Times, Incorporated urges all US citizens who consider themselves dynamic to consider taking an extreme leftist stance to offset this recent emergency. "This is a temprorary attack," says Prime Anarchist. "After this you can go back to being middle of the road, or moderate right. But you have to see the graveness of this CIA shit or you're a real dweeb." Anarchist says he's a registered republican but sees the need to put a democrat in office for at least the next election or three. "If nothing else," says anarchist, "rally, lobby and vote on the appointments and judicial issues. I hated Albert Gore II AND III," but we'll need his people in times to come!!!" ************** ** disk-lamer ** <<<-===--- ************** ATI ALLOWS CORRESPONDENCE of all kinds.

He published his own thoughts using his own printing presses. It wasn't the magazine business. He did it all on his own." Franklin, like almost all of colonial America's printers, in addition to taking on outside orders, published his own work on the side in the form of pamphlets and broadsides.

Investigation continues over who named town after TV show. Prime Anarchist World News TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES, NM - (PAWN) An unoccupied mobile home crashed into a test pattern when driver Willy Kerin fell asleep watching a rerun of Sunday afternoon professional bowling. "Or maybe it was roller derby," says William Brown, spokesperson for U-OSLO, the United States Olympic-Strength Leisure Organization in Colorado Springs, CO. The big screen TV had been parked at a gas station but rolled across the street to a Hollywood style filming of Chief Jay Strongbow wrestling Tatanka in his first comeback match since 1986. Strongbow, who witnessed the naming of the town, said "when that TV hit that game show host as he was holding out a booby prize [a 20-gal propane tank] the town lit up "like a late 70's game show where someone just won a trip for two to tahiti." # ================== = = = = = = = = \ short notes follow /\ wollof seton trohs / = = = = = = = = ================== SAY NO TO SPREE CANDY: Lift Tab To Open ING: Dextrose, Maltodextrin, Malic Acid and Less than 2% of Magnesium Stearate, Nutrition, Corn Syrup, Artificial Flavors, Carnauba Wax, Color Added, Blue 1 Lake, Blue 2 Lake, Red 40 Lake, Ricki Lake, Yellow 5 Lake, Yellow 6 Lake.

ALCOA'S 4TH-Q EARNINGS INCREASE 48% JUST LIKE W'S (PAWN) - PITTSBURGH - Like George Bush who went from being selected by one vote to being elected by 48% - Alcoa managed to increase their stock an additional 48%, up from 17% last Q by announcing within the next five years they plan to pull enough aluminum foil out of the ground in four continents to wrap Kathy Bates' body snug as a bug in a rug 432,000,963 times. NYC - (PAWN) McGraw Hill Faith Tim Corporation Moves Into Position To Fare Well In Both AMMAs and GRAMMMYs. Make sure your investment folio has plenty of McGraw/ Hill, Corp. If it doesn't, get it now. "We're looking to capture Female Artist, Country Album, Country Female Artist, and Country Male in the AMMAs," (amerikan muzac maladjustment association) said McGraw Hill spokesperson Faith Tim, "And even more next month in the Grammys." Their stockiness is expected to go up meteorically no matter how many awards they take. Statisticians from the Julianne Moore Jody Foster Brooks and Dunn, L.L.C. say it's going to be a surer bet than "that George 'W' Bush would have won the presidency in '00." \____________This 'zine ends___________/ \________with a punkrock text________/ \______by Dave of the band MDC_____/ __________________________________Why We Do Some Of The Things We Do____ / \ Well here I sit backstage at this weird trendy Port Jefferson, Long Island night club. We?re (M.D.C.) doing a cancer benefit for our bass player?s old friend who is putting on the show. We?re playing on the bill with a bunch of Pat Bennitar cover bands along with a wedding band that does oldies to ghoulish ska. The crowd is half made of these aging rocker chick and dude types that I feel terribly self conscious for and the other half look like they just strolled in from the volunteer firemen?s barbeque. Don?t let me forget to mention there are ten or so, old school skinheads who tell me/ threaten me that they are there to see us. I go backstage and I?m sitting there daydreaming to myself about some other things I?ve done with my life that I wondered why I ever did. When I was a kid I was totally neurotic about counting things. Be they cracks in the side walks, steps it took to get places, how many mail boxes on the way to places and on and on. I?d do quite crazy stuff like put my tongue on door knobs, wherever I walked, I had to run my hands against flat surfaces, sometimes I?d kiss strange dogs with my tongue just as anxious and eager as the dog would. And at my catholic school right outside my second grade desk window, as if was put there to tease me, was this long frozen icicle hanging from the drain pipe. I?d stare at it day after day all through the winter and I knew it was calling me to lick it. I fought the urge, I kinda knew I was setting myself for something bad. I had heard that frozen cold things and tongues were not a healthy combination______________________________________________________________ / \ I couldn?t help myself , during lunch I snuck back into the room opened that window , leaned out there and connected my tongue to the forbidden icicle and sure enough it stuck and I was stuck till the class and Sister Marie came back and eventually the janitor Mr. Dougherty poured some hot water onto the icicle and it broke away and eventually freed my tongue. I remember everyone and I mean everyone asked,? why did you do that for?? I remember Roxanne Cafferata looked at me and sighed and never had that wanderlust again in her charming brown eyes for me ever again. Why had I done it? God knows, Attention Deficit Disorder, curiosity ? A combination.....Some burly back stage type dude asks to see my backstage tag. I hadn?t put it on and offered it to him from my pocket. He suggested very strongly I put it on to avoid getting thrown out. This is ridiculous, who the fuck would be sneaking backstage? The wedding singer bands groupies? Whatever I put it on and drift into my daydreams. I flash back to playing with rocks in front of the brand new church stain glassed window. I mean there I was with Steve Hanley and Ritchie Colgan throwing rocks and none of us ever dreaming what happened would happen and sure enough Steve Hanley pitched me a rock and though I was never much a hitter I connected and hit that rock for a homer, right through the stain glassed window. We ran and we got back and later our class was spoken to at first and then threatened. Our class was never gonna be let out for recess ever again. We held our tongues and lived with the guilt and to this day I?ve never ever really talked about it. I Start thinking of my many mistakes in life. Not taking the sweet Jeannie Kassajenski, who really liked me for me, to my prom and instead taking the buxom cheerleader, Terry Kehoe, who ___________________ignored me all night_________________________________ / \ __________________________________________I think about other sweet love possibilities that I squandered away chasing what I thought were greener pastures that ended up only appearing greener. I guess maybe we?ve all been there but to me it seems I?ve been there too often. I have been told I am a risk taker. I guess that?s right and here I am in some God forsaken hamlet on eastern Long Island not playing to my tribe, not making music for the C Squatter sisters and brethrens. And soon its time to get up on stage and perform, how am I gonna handle it? I think to myself. Well before you know it there I am in front of four hundred old time rockers, firemen and their ilk and those smattering of skinheads. And it just came alive for me. I state that I was born around there and that I hated the cops . Who the fuck has ever dialed 911 in there life? When I heard the silence I said,? thought so. All these overpaid, lazy ass cops are good for around here is to hang outside of these bars and write D.W.I. summons?.Then we broke into Millions Of Dead Cops and it was beautiful, it was like the scene in the Blues Brothers Movie when they played Rawhide. People were hooting and hollering, firemen and women with silly skimpy outfits long necks raised cheering us on. Even the skinheads loved us and claimed us as there own. We did our short, blast of a set and then tried to give everybody there bar back but they wouldn?t have it. We played encore after encore till we played a few Johnny Cash songs and there wasn?t a dry eye in the house. We exited and claimed Long Island as our own and felt good and it came back to me why I licked icicles and played with rocks and sticks in front of church windows and why as well we don?t play all our shows to our safe crowd of you hipster, bebop, punker, groovers______________________/ ______________________________________ / Please do check mdc?s web site \ /at http://www.freespeech.org/deadcops \ / or e-mail me_____________________________\ mdcops@hotmail.com or write MDC pobox 142, glencove, ny,11542.
