Subreality Times
Lalalalala. Lalala. La. Yes, as you might have noticed, I'm somewhat
chipper this evening. Just a bit. Why
you ask? I. Just. Got. Done. With Finals. Muahahaha!
But that's only half of it. The other half is that some of YOU - are
still taking them. You have NO idea how
much pleasure it gives me to think of you being tortured. NO idea.
Nyah!
Okeydokey. Now that you are starting to make inquiries about hitmen
and my address, we can get to the
news. It's like my pop always said. "The important thing is to have a
strong emotion. Love or hate, that's
just details."
Let us delve into the steamy underbelly... eww I just realized how
yacky that sounds... EWWW I just used
the word yacky...
The Bullet:
Well I can certainly forget about grouching about scarcity of news
this week. Oooh baby!
Well as always, firstly about the Eco-Challenge RR. At this point it
basically the only game in town. All
others were ruthlessly crushed under its iron heel. Wheee. Betcha I
know what you thinking right now.
"Goddamn, it's the same thing he said for the last 4 Bullets!" Yes. I
am trying to figure out how many times
I can say it not using the same wording. Suffer!
The one of the most prominent affiliates of CFAN has been remodeled.
The column IMHO maintained by
Dex has been relocated and made weekly. Rejoice. The new addy is

Current Affairs:
Anyway. Over on Rant and Rave board we had a nice explosive thread
about USA and how it's regarded by
the rest of the universe. It's fairly dead now. Oh well. I, myself,
was kinda hoping they would arrive to
inevitable conclusion that USA fights to protect the world that hates
and fears it. Doesn't ring any bells?
Shame on you! Shaaaaame. Which creates a nice transition to the more
current row, taking place right
above that one. (I'm so smart, I amaze myself sometimes.) Please don't
feel shy and chime in. Let's
discuss for the umpteenth time what should or should not be talked
about in #subcafe. After all the topic
must hold such utter fascination that is MUST NOT BE IGNORED, since
it's been with brief intervals
mulled, screamed and hissed over for two years now. Nooo, I wasn't
there for all of it, but I hear things,
doncha know... Truth is out there. No one is safe.
Now on the cheerful note. Do not be concerned if you chance to see a
slightly scared Goth running through
your neighborhood. You probably won't. Or you might, but then it'd be
a totally different Goth and I'd advise
you to change neighborhoods pronto. Anyway. The Goth in question is
Raven. His running is just a
speculation. It's the reaction I'd have if I read the thread
dedicated to me, like the one to him on the
Scratching Post. YAY! Viva Subreality! Sure, let the real world have
Cassidy, Ricky Martin and
Whatshisname. We don't need no steeenkin' teen idols. We have Goth
idol!
Raven has been declared by a large portion of Subreality's better half
to be (sigh) 'just dreamy' (sigh).
Well not really. The exact phrase if I remember
correctly was 'right sexy bastard.' I'd run. Raven, dude, I'd run
like NOW! The heartfelt sympathies of this
publication go out to you. As does the offer of shelter and
ammunition. And advice, if you see that you are
in danger of being mobbed, play Brittany Spears. 99% of female
Subreaizens will go into catatonic shock
immediately.
Metropolitan news:
For the SCML citizens. Well, well, well. What do we have here... A
LOT!
Firstly, She Who Apparently Never Sleeps, AKA Kielle has updated the
SCentral again. There are now
several recovered fics on the archive, which MUST be read by every
patriotic citizen. These are classics,
people. Besides they are good.
Secondly. The plans for major rebuilding and beautification program
have been announced. The main goal is
to make the city prettier and easier to navigate. Among changes there
has been mentioned a plan to create
a Subreality Doomsday Book. An Index. A phone book, for "especially
gifted" in the audience. Every fic on
the site will apparently have a "blurb" at some point. Or something
similar. This announcement had created
quite a stir. Small and not quite small mobs of people have been
congregating to discuss the program.
Many helpful suggestions are being made. Our condolences to Lady
Scribe, who probably is very sorry she
started this thing to begun with.
Thirdly: Our sources report that there are persistent rumours
circulating that the Subatomic Mallard
production shall resume shortly. If even a third of the rumors is
true... Be Afraid. Be very Afraid. And buy
guns. Lots and lots of guns.
Self - Aggrandizement: More then usual that is. I posted a fic on
OTL. I received more then 2 feedback
replies. I am GOD!
Other News:
Also there have been several sightings of Dex. After leaving THOSD
he's disappeared from public eye. But
several people let spotted him around Subreality. No definite
location has been assertained yet, but we
have
hopes. And money. So if YOU know -you might be rich.
Weather report:
See ya on the flip side.

Issue #5
Monday 29th, May, 2000
As promised there was a boom this week. Big boom. Ahhh. How I love
the smell of MBs in the morning.
What would I do without wonderful people willing to rehash same old
arguments over and over and over and
over. Ah, makes me feel all warm and squishy inside... Allll right,
who put the Twinkie in my chair?!! Ahem.
If I were you I'd keep a look out for the #Behind the Scenes MB. It's
been quiet so far, but the latest post
has a nice potential for a "boom." Whee.
Is it just me is this joke getting stale? Anyway. Bring your
umbrellas. It's snowing ice cream on Summers
Blvd this Tuesday, between 12-3pm.
