November 2, 1998
Making your wishes come true, that is if your wish is to hear a lot of sarcasm and a whole bunch of crankiness, it's the Septi-Verse. It's November, almost time for the holidays. I'm thinking forward to dinner with the family and football on the TV. Lots of fun. Screaming and whining and tantrums, and that's just my older brothers. (Maybe I'll recount some of my holiday horror stories next month.)
In Colorado, an environmental group is setting fires near ski resorts to protest the damage that humans are doing to the woodland habitat. The police have no suspects in the fires, and resorts are getting nervous with the bust season about to begin. In related news, anti-nuclear protesters plan to blow up the world to show people that nuclear bombs are dangerous. Also in the news, after months of publicity, voters in Michigan will finally vote on a law legalizing doctor assisted suicide this week. People against the law say that it will lessen the value of human life, and that compulsory death at a certain age are now a step closer to reality. Supporters of the law concede that it has been an up hill battle trying to get people to support the law, the biggest impediment is that most people think the term euthanasia means "Japanese kids".
The Pittsburgh Penguins are in dire financial straits, and filed for bankruptcy. The city of Pittsburgh smelling blood in the waters, is threatening to lock the Penguins out of the Civic Arena until they pay amusement taxes owed. That's a great idea, if the team can't afford to pay its debts, why don't you cut off their sole source of income by canceling their games, really bright. The city council says that the city is in debt, and needs to get this money to pay debts. Surprisingly enough, these are the same people who think that we have more than enough money to build two stadiums. Now we can truly understand why Pittsburgh is considered a grand intellectual hot spot.
With the holidays upon us, new family movies are being released. A new Babe movie is now out, about a talking pig who goes to the city to make it big. Now, maybe it's just me, but when I see Babe, I don't see an adorable little fuzzy piglet, I see a meal. "I'd like a stack of pancakes, some scrambled eggs, and a side of Babe please." But I'm just mean.
Gwar was in town for Halloween, so as a little treat to myself, I went to see the show. This was my first Gwar concert, so I must say that it was quite surprising and amusing. Although they did things to Marylin Mansion's face that I did not need to witness, ever. My psyche was pretty much in tact, until they brought out Princess Diana's corpse. My inner child is still huddled in a corner from that beating. The oddest thing about the concert is that Gwar performed with the Insane Clown Posse, yet there was a inordinate number of teenagers, I mean 15, 13, and 11 year olds there. After the show was over, the police were clearing the place out, an officer told one of the kids to go out side, and he said that he was waiting for his mom to pick him up. It's nice to know that parents are paying absolutely now attention to what their children are listening to. "Gee... I wonder why little Bill got a knife and disemboweled his chemistry teacher? It couldn't be because I didn't pay any attention to what he was doing? nah..."
It's approaching the end of the year, and that means that it's almost time for the first annual Schmuck of the Year award. So start sending in e-mail, and leave candidates in the Guestbook. Will it be Ken Starr, Linda Tripp, or someone else? Tell me who should be the Schmuck, and why. Also, find the hidden page, then vote on the Ben and Killvorkian ice cream Funky Junky. Either e-mail or leave in the Guestbook the candidate and reasons, and the winner of the contest gets a special prize. And again for the write in theme, I want to put the Septi-Verse in more search engines, so I need keywords to describe my page. So on the Guestbook this month I've added a "Keywords" section, so tell me what describes my page best. Click here to Sign my Guestbook, then click to Read my Guestbook for all of the other luke warm reviews.
This month we have the last rogues on Earth on About Septy. Part two of how the world will be improved after I take over in Glimpse into the Future. The return of Cyber Chic in Links N' Stuff. Shoplifting antics in absolutely True Tales of Stupidity. Dr. Katz and Oprah in Tirade. I must need to get my head examined because I created another What's My Damage?. There is also another hidden page, so search high and low this month. (Could that be a hint?) And as always, check out the retrospective of the last six pages in Previous Septi-Pages.
