YES, ANOTHER HIDDEN ARTICLE!!
Ok, you found the hidden article. So what do you expect now?
If you have read the previous hidden articles, ranging from
ST NEWS 4.2 to 4.4, you know what will come up now, a songtext
from a heavy metal song!
*****
This time we will present you with some lyrics from the first
Mucky Pup album called "Can't you take a joke?" Now this is the
hidden article so we can quote anything. The following is quite
blunt, so be warned!
This excerpt of the hidden article is dedicated to Morten, who
is probably the best Mucky Pup fan in the world (they come to
Utrecht on March 1st and visit Den Bosch a bit later, too.....
GREAT!!!!).
F.U.C.K.
Fuck war, Fuck the world.
Fuck Quaddafi he's a nerd
Fuck polotics and your views
Walter Cronkite with the news
Fuck Ronnie, Fucking Nancy
Fuck the Reagans, they're so fancy
Fuck mucky, Fuck the pup
Fuck mucky and take control!
Repeat
Fuck the world its so fucked up!
*****
OK. Enough of this shit. We hope that you're not the kind of guy
that is pissed off when not finding a hidden article (only to be
consequently even MORE pissed off when he discovers it contains
shit like this).
Now, we would like to offer you a piece of the action we call
"Crazy Letters". This means that we publish a slight piece of
hard core insanity: In this case 'day one of the hypothetical
visit of the Nutties to Holland'.
Don't read it if you're sane.
THE DAY WHEN THE NUTS COME TO TOWN by a-whole-lotta-people
- or -
NO!! WE WILL NOT PUT ANOTHER LIST OF SUBTITLES HERE!!
In the summer of 1990, Holland was honoured by a visit of four
people from a country called Norway. This is the uncensored truth
behind this visit. This is what happened.
The Surgeon General notes that this might be harmful to read by
the weak. Please refrain from doing so if you even have the
slightest reason to think you belong to this group of fags.
Monday, July 2nd 1990
07:42
Yawn.
Normally, I would not get up this early. Just after I woke up, I
sensed something strange.
I wasn't in my room.
I was lying in a lonesome attic.
It was Stefan's attic (at least, that of his parents' house).
Suddenly, I remember.
The Nutties are coming to town. Yesterday, I went to Stefan's
place in order to be able to receive these people, as they
insisted upon visiting Stefan's place rather than mine - which
was too small and too crammed with females.
It all dawns upon me now.
I am about to have some of the craziest days in my life, no
doubt. We had to get up early to be able to go to Schiphol to get
these guys.
Can you imagine: Two Dutchies and four Norwegians into ONE small
305 (Peugeot)?
I think I am not particularly looking forward to it.
Richard
07:44
My.
I didn't know it could be this dark.
Maybe if I open my eyes it will be a little lighter.
STARTLE!!
My.
I didn't know there could be so many photons.
Maybe if I close my eyes, they will stop hurting.
No.
I will get UP!
Today, the NUTTIES will come.
I will have to drive to Schiphol and I have to pick to them up.
This means they will be in my car.
My poor car.
It is already very battered and dented all over and I do not
want it to get any worse else it will simply fall apart. Anyway,
I have to get washed, dressed and more of those futile
neccesities have to be taken care of. See you soon....
Stefan
07:48
In a while (rather, within several seconds) we will indeed have
to go through these futilities. We will have to wash our faces,
release our teeth of unneccesary ballast, and we will have to get
soemthing cookin' in order to satisfy our stomachs and guts to
some degree.
Breakfast, YEAH!
Stefan seems to feel the time fit to slam some heavy metal on
his CD player - which isn't alltogether that bad for it is very
good to wake up on.
Sodom.
Sodom?
Sodom!!
Holy shit.
I think this is a bit hard on an empty stomach. I think I'll
open the curtains first...
Wow.
The sun is shrouded in some early morning summer's mists and is
gently trying to lift itself above what Stefan would like to
refer to as 'the garden'. The trees gently filter the light as
though they are a mask that only lets through the pleasing
things. Stefan's room is now actuall bathing in an orange-purply
light of sunny dawn. I feel really great, and I am very lucky to
be able to say that I do not have any hangovers resulting from
last evening's subtle alcohol (ab)use.
Great.
Great?
GREAT!!
As you can easily notice, I am not into writing much before I
have had a decent opportunity to eat. So I think I'll dash
downstairs and raid Stefan's freezer a bit.
I hope they have real Coke and not that stupid supermarket-home-
made stuff.
Though I have to say something about the view out of Stefan's
window right now. Their is a sulky sun and it is shedding its
light on the houses on the opposite of the garden. The trees have
their tips covered with sun, and the lower parts are still in the
shade and covered with droplets of morning's dew.
This is definitely one of those mornings on which you'd like to
dash outside and dance and sing in the garden with a class of
pre-school kids.
Ciao!
Richard
07:53
The morning is quite beautiful indeed. Would I have had
Richard's hormones, I would probably fall in love instantaneous
at the first girl I would see, and I would cry as the first rays
of sun would fall on my iris.
He is now singing along with the guitar soli of Yngwie The
Master Himself while trying to shave himself.
It's strange - ever since he went steady with Miranda (now over
half a year ago) he's been acting much more adult and now shaves
himself every day.
God...a transformation has surely gone over the poor dude.
But he's right: We have to get a bite to eat, otherwise we might
not get to the end of this day without several symptoms of
malnutrition.
Stefan
08:20
We have just managed to get some nutrition inserted into our
bodies, though this was barely possible because of the tension
built in us.
For today, as was already stated before, we will have to get
some Nutty Ones from Schiphol airport.
The baked eggs (by the utterly skilled hands of Stefan) were
good. Pity for pimples that might eventually appear because of
them.
Richard
08:23
We have to hurry, for it takes over an hour to get to Schiphol
at this time of day and the Norwegians will arrive there at
approximately 09:45 CET.
I have succeeded in keeping my car un-dented for about a year
now, so let's hope that this record will not be damaged by this
trip.
Stefan
08:32
We are now sitting in Stefan's car, and it is hard typing when
the Z88 moves in strange patterns across one's lap - patterns
that in some way or another seem to have something to do with the
way Stefan drives his wholly remarkable Alfa 33.
Richard
09:27
We arrive at Schiphol airport. As Stefan is searching for a
place to park his car, I am looking around to see some planes
taking off and landing.
Every time I see one of those huge Jumbos taking off, it baffles
me completely. All those tons of metal, luggage and humans seem
to be lifted in the air with the same ease as with which Gro
Harlem Brundtland was once accused of being male and walking
around with rubberware in her pocket to visit a local place of
ill repute in Ronny's neigbourhood.
Most cars parked here are, strange enough, German.
Richard
The following part is the literal typed down version of a short
recording made on an Aiwa stereo-Dobly-B-you-know-the-whole-
fuckin'-story-by-now-since-you've-heard-it-many-times-already.
Richard: Uuuuu...hi there! It's Richard here! We have just parked
the car and we are now looking for the obvious main
entrance to Schiphol airport. With some sense of awe, we
sometimes still look at this incredible load of
metalware and various other weights that seem to have
their way to get up into the air. We have to hurry for
the Nutty Ones can arrive any minute now....
Stefan: It is now 09:32. The entrance is right ahead.
In the background, it is clearly to be heard that planes fly
over. Accidentally, we also seem to have recorded the desperate
cries of someone that's being mugged.
Stefan: Victory! We have achieved the ultimate goal of finding
the main entrance which we now enter. We will first go to
the piers to see the plane actually land.
Steps can be heard in an obviously large hall. Some explosions
made by PLO bombs blowing up the desk where El Al is residing
fill the background with some noise that might actually be
mistaken for the recent Napalm Death "Peel Sessions" CD-single.
For some more moments, only the sound of some automatic stairs
can be heard, after which the wind again blows in the mike and we
realise that it has indeed moved out again.
We are on the pier that's nearest to where the planes land and
get disembarked.
Stefan: We're here! We see various planes of various companies,
including one of El Al that seems to have lost a wing
during its flight. Another plane drops right out of the
air and plunges into a plane that was about to take off.
Several hundred people get killed, GREAT ACTION!!
Several minutes, the tape only reveals the standard flying off
and on of planes, the sounds of fireguard sirens and someone
yelling in the mike that he wants to greet his Auntie Bertha.
Richard: It is now 09:47 and our amazed eyes get hold of small
plane wearing no marks and no identification. It is
actually accompanied by an F-16 jet of the Dutch air
force, as it is obviously intruding on our airspace and
might just as well be a Russian spy plane. But we know
better: It must be a Norwegian plane....it's flying
backwards.
Stefan: The plane is flying backwards!!
Richard: (Sighing a bit) Yeah....
The sound recording is now temporarily stopped. We retreat
ourselves to the hall downstairs, and continue typing on the Z88.
10:12
As we wait close to the main entrance/exit, we suddenly see four
persons being released from the zealous care of the SAPF
(Schiphol Airport Police Force). They look rather dazed and
dizzy, and is it my imagination or have they indeed been tortured
by the aformentioned SAPF?
No. Suddenly, I remember that planes that land backwards have
the tendency of making mortal saltos on the landing strip; this
would probably explain their wounds.
They look rather silly, with their huge bags and their silly
blooded faces that seem to be looking desperately for someone to
help them getting along and find us.
SHIT.
We forgot to take our banner with us. In the middle of all the
alcohol (ab)use of the previous evening, Stefan had carefully
torn one of his parents' bedsheets apart and had written on it in
large capitals: "WANTED: ST NEWS RIPPOHACKIACS (PREFERABLE DEAD
BUT ALSO ALLOWED ALIVE)".
SHIT.
They are lucky that we see them. Stefan can't hold his emotions
and dashes forth in the direction of the Norwegians. His frantic
movements, crazy gestures and ridiculous facial expressions
suggest a robbery in progress, so they all carefully huddle
together - keeping the precious luggage and little Frøystein in
the middle).
Stefan, in some way or another, seems to re-assure them and they
let go of the small boy that was almost suffocating in between
the freaks.
They hug and exchange kisses in a Reagan-Gorbatjev style, and
soon come toward me.
Richard
10:17
This will surely be the last time I travel by means of
Brundtland air!
Ronny
10:19
Richard and the Nutties have just met in a way similar to mine.
They are here: Ronny (our faithful distributor of ST NEWS and
ultimate PR man there), Frøystein (also known as Frøykid or the
F-word), ToRbjørn (NOT Tobjørn) and Rune (who lives almost on the
North Pole as far as we understood).
It has been over half a year since we have seen these guys, and
it is surely good to see them now - in spite of their somewhat
bruised appearance. Since that time, we have had to keep up
contact writing megabyte-long Crazy Letters, whole pallets filled
with CVTs and several dozen CATs.
But now they're here again!
At last.
These Crazy Guys will finish an issue of their "ST Klubben"
here, and we will of course (try to) finish an issue of ST NEWS
as well - just like was done in the recent winter when we visited
Norway.
WE WILL HAVE FUN! YEAH!
Stefan
10:32
That trip we took surely was a long one. Not only did we had to
get up at a frightfully early time (and I am not even talking
about Rune who had to travel the whole fuckin' night before even
meeting us at Ørsta International Airport!).
And it got pretty scary upthere as well, when the pilot took a
wrong turn and flew us right into Valhalla! (Regular - living -
Norwegians never get to see that until they're dead)
We escaped only just , and a colission with some Golden Eagles
and the hammer of Thor made sure we flew out backwards.
The only trouble about flying backwards is landing.
My body still throbs and every bone seems to ache.
Ronny
10:37
Em....yeah. This is my first appearance ever in the open ST
scene, so I am a bit unsure what to say.
So I won't do it too much.
Rune
10:38
Well, jerk! Then I'll do it.
I am very happy to be in Holland now. The country is certainly
indeed very flat, but there aren't as many windmills and dykes as
I would have expected. Have they all been removed to make sure
that this small Norwegian Invasion cannot have bad effects on
them?
Strange.
I like Holland, anyway. At least, this is a place where you can
cycle without much trouble. None of those damn mountains here,
and I kinda like that.
By the way: Please ignore some of the things said about me
before. I may be not too old, but I have stopped playing with
small cars and have instead taken up playing with "Masters of the
Universe" and "G.I. Joe" puppets.
Cobra, beware!
Frøystein
10:45
Hi. It's Torbjørn here (yeah....not Tobjørn).
Holland is better than I had expected it to be even in my
wildest imaginations: It's SO different from Norway that any
description even by the best narrator would not have sufficed to
build a picture like this beautiful truth...
Oh beautiful Holland, I worship thee
Yet in the crystal ball I foresee
Thy beauty might not last long
To be captured in yet another song
For thou art inhabited by madmen
Living alongside yonder glen
Richard and Stefan are the two
Lucky enough no more to add to this crazy crew
Writing letters, insane and immense
Even audio and video tapes offer their suspense
But the worst came now to be
Now four Nutties came to visit thee
Brundtland Wraths, ST Klubben and the Craziest people yet
Will come to see thy Summer Sun set
Oh beautiful Holland, what lies ahead?
It's the Nutties you should dread!
Hey....what's happening? The Z88 is acting funny?!
Z88 STATISTICAL INTERRUPT SEQUENCE PENDING
TIMER PROC: Pardon me. I have an interrupt to offer. Are you
interested?
CMOS Z80: No. I already have all I want and I have my life
insurance as well.
TIMER PROC: You seem to misunderstand. You will HAVE to accept
it.
CMOS Z80: No thanks.
TIMER PROC: I am afraid I must insist.
CMOS Z80: Hit the streets, man!
TIMER PROC: Override!
CMOS Z80: (As though suddenly shaken awake) Huh? Whaddayawant? Of
course I will accept it. Just shove it up my buses.
TIMER PROC: It's a statistical interrupt.
CMOS Z80: WHAZZAT?
MC68000: A 'real time' way of writers letting their readers know
what the length of their current word processing thing
is.
CMOS Z80: OK then. Shove it up my buses.
TIMER PROC: Shove!
"Just a small statistical interrupt here. We have now reached the
87 Kb length mark, which means that we have already beaten your
first 'long' crazy letter (the one you called "TINY" - and which
was indeed rather TINY!). Of course, this was frightfully simply
a task to complete. Hard times have yet to come as we will have
to go past our bloody own 137 Kb mark as well, and then beyond
the marks that have never ever been thought about......"
CMOS Z80: Will that be all?
TIMER PROC: I think so. Thanks for being so co-operative.
CMOS Z80: Yeah. Sure.
TIMER PROC: You'll be hearing from me again.
END OF Z88 INTERRUPT REQUEST SEQUENCE
Strange things happen to these machines sometimes. But then: Who
would have thought otherwise with a Scottisch machine?
Torbjørn
11:02
It is a bit crowded in Stefan's car right now. The both editors
sit in the front and I sit in the back with the rest; Frøystein
is conveniently stored in the back boot of the car.
Stefan just told me we will have to stop at a Den Bosch
supermarket for a while, and buy some stuff that can then be
consumed during the Nutties' visit.
Ough! Rune just nearly sat on the Z88.
Richard
11:05
What the heck is a supermarket?
We don't have those around the polar circle, you know. Can
someone please fill me in on it?
Rune
11:07
It's a place where you can buy groceries with a small car. There
are usually a lot of small cars and a lot of groceries - hence
the word 'super'.
Richard
11:08
I see.
Rune
11:12
Stefan considered the time fit to slam some music on his car's
audio equipment, and the fingertorturing wailing quitar solos of
Yngwie Malmsteen's first album are soring through the small area
of the car and several kilometres beyond that due to the open
windows and the terawatt speakers that were banned even before
DDT and Cyanide were banned to be put into food.
Now I come to think of it: Nobody actually opened the windows.
This can only mean.....
OH GOD!
That speaker system is surely very powerful! My eyeballs
vibrate to and fro on Yngwie's soli and I can not seem to see
anything in focus. The whole car seems to grow and shrink on the
bass-drum beats, and at each climax all inhabitants of the car
can barely keep themselves inside, clutching to safety belts and
door handles.
Stefan seems to be the only one that's capable of handling this
volume level, as he gently moves his head back and forward on the
rhythm of the music.
As I look outside I see other car drivers suddenly holding both
their hands to their ears as we pass. They lose utter control
over their steering wheels (and thus, the car), and end up in a
ditch or on top of each other.
A blue helicopter labelled "RIJKSPOLITIE" is flying above us.
A man wearing a copper's uniform is partly hanging outside it,
and is yelling something through a huge megaphone that he can
barely handle due to its weight, the wind speed, and the enormous
vibrations that arise from the car.
Did you know that, when you play music loud enough, the car
sometimes doesn't touch the ground?
You just have to imagine this car bopping up and down the road
all the time, at a speed of 120 KM/hour. Trees bend as we pass;
birds holds their wings to their ears and drop down dead; other
cars unavoidably crash.
Richard
11:30
We just lost a door! It was banged out due to some heavy
drumming vibrations....
This is hell, Armegaddon....this would make Thor go jealous!
It's terrible! It's anti-social!
But it's fiendishly funny.
Ronny
11:47
A considerable explosion just made us aware of the fact that the
blue helicopter crashed due to all its knots and bolts being
vibrated in such a way that they disintegrated.
The coppers used their ejaculationchairs and got sliced into
pieces by the wings of the helicopter.
Richard
12:05
We have just arrived at the "Rompert" shopping centre. We have
turned down the music and everybody doesn't even seem to mind
that we have indeed lost a door.
Everything is safe (Of course! All witnesses died! Richard
quote). We will now go and do some shopping so that these poor
Nutties will not die of sepulchral starvation during their short
stay in my humble abode.
Stefan
12:10
Uh Oh
I guess we are in trouble.
As soon as we entered, the Norwegians suddenly went berzerk.
Especially Rune got a strange glare in his eyes, wrestled a
shopping-cart from a fat housewife, disposed of the screaming kid
in a large bin of peeled tomatoes and dashed off, leaving a trail
of havoc in his path. Ronny jumped into another cart, and
Torbjørn grabbed it, and now they are wheeling through piles of
assorted groceries whilst crying various Norwergian war cries.
Not prepared for such an outburst, Richard and myself are left
standing completely baffled. They have disappeared out of sight
now, and only the sounds of collapsing racks of very fragile
glass pots can be heared. I see several shop attentands rush
towards the epicentre of the tornado, but arrive too late.
Already, Rune was carreering towards us, while taking large swigs
from a bottle of eddik. He rushed past us and crashed head-long
into a large rack of assorted fruit. The thing gave up
immediately and our friend bounced off, completely covered with
crushed blåbærene. In the meantime, Ronny and Torbjørn were busy
throwing various breakfast items at each other. Ronny was already
covered with all sorts of syltetøy and Torbjørn was trying to
take a large piece of moden ost from a screaming attendant in
order to hurl it at Ronny.
We were still watching the cataclysmic happening when we
suddenly saw the stores manager rushing towards Rune who was busy
smearing eplemos all over two paralyzed women. Just in time I
could stick out my left leg so the manager tripped and was
rendered incapable of preventing himself from crashing into a
neat pile of cans of which the label said they contained crab,
but when opened, contained a mysterious white power. Several of
the cans could not stand such a violent impact and cracked open,
creating a vast cloud of the aforementioned powder.
Recognizing their favourite means of expanding their spirits,
the Norwegians immediately assailed the pile of cans and the
manager buried in it. Soon after, hordes of crazed junkies poured
into the store, totally wrecking whatever was left. Total anarchy
resulted, and we wisely decided to leave.
But we still had to find our dear friends amidst the apocalyptic
mayhem. We found Torbjørn in the middle of a pile of arme
riddere, totally stuffing himself with the small pancackes. After
convincing him of the fact that we HAD to leave, he stuffed
several of them in his pockets and we went looking for the other
ones. Ronny was engaged in combat with several of the stores
attendants, seemingly fighting over the right to posses a large
piece of raw meat. After helping him out, the piece of raw meat
turned out to be a rather bruised Rune, but after feeding him
some karbonadekake, he completely revived and we could barely
refrain him from hurtling himself into the blazing battle.
With a cart completely crammed full of groceries, we emerged
from the store like warriors leaving the grounds of battle. When
we reached my car, I opened the trunk and Richard heaved the cart
into the air, successfully dumping all the foodstuff into the
darkness of the trunk.
Was it my imagination or did I hear a muffled cry?
The ride back home was pretty nice. I only killed three cats and
mortally wounded two police officers trying to control traffic.
The heavy metal sounds were neat although they were disturbed a
little by some strange sounds coming from the trunk - but since
all the meat stacked in there was supposed to be already dead, we
did not heed it.
When we reached my house, we were too eager to show our friends
my computer and collection of x-rated magazines so we left the
food safely in the trunk, to be collected later.
Stefan
13:15
It has been ages ago since I had that much fun! It's great! I
have never been in this 'supermarket' before and it's a total new
thing!
Rune
13:17
YEEEOOOOWWWW!!
Dutch storesmanagers surely know how to enjoy themselves. What a
great country!!!
Ronny
13:18
Yeah. I haven't had this much fun since I upset that cute
stewardess on the flight. Neat. Let's examine Stefan's house and
see if there is anything to rip in there.
Torbjørn
13:25
Holy 68000.
Have you ever had Norwegians examine your house? If you had, you
would know the dire straits I am in now. Rune has entered my
sister's room and is busy consuming the various bottles of eau-
de-toilette in there. When my sister comes home he is going to be
in the biggest trouble he has ever been in his live.
Torbjørn has given up trying to hack his way into my father's
electric razor and has now turned his attention to my poor ST
while Ronny is busy inflating his hard disk. I hear cries of
delight coming from Torbjørn as he rips various pieces of code
out of my precious demos. Better stop him before he rips the very
heart out of my hard disk.
Stefan
(Another Aiwa walkman recording coming up)
Stefan: Hey man! Those are my source files!
Rune: Hmmm....I kinda like the ring about 'Channel No. 5'...
Richard: No! Rune! This is no supermarket and those are no liq...
Rune: Gulp....gulp...swallow....aaaaahhhh...aaaahhhhh?
AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!
Richard: I had warned you....
Torbjørn: Wow! Music routines! WOW! Pictures! I am getting to be
pretty excited here!
Stefan: Leave my source files alone!
Rune: Lou Lou?
Richard: NO! NO!
Stefan: Kill!
Ronny: Has someone seen the plug to my inflatible hard disk?
Torbjørn: Even more! More source files! Where's 'Devpac'?
Richard: Oh God! Help me!
Rune: (Putting a bottle on his lips) Gulp...slallow....AAAARRGGH!
Stefan: I'll obliterate your brain! Get off there!
Torbjørn: Are you telling a child to leave sweeties alone?
Richard: Nurse!
Rune: Sigh.....wow! That was great.
Nurse: Can I help someone....
Stefan: Kill! Kill! Annihilate! Kill! Exterminate!
Richard: Nurse? Would you be so kind to...
Nurse: Of course...does this hurt?
Richard: No.
Nurse: Well....in that case.....
Ronny: I found it!
Stefan: Kill! Let me grab your filthy little neck with my
fingers!
Richard: Oh no....er...yes....now you mention it...it hurt!
Nurse: Ah. In that case.....suck....suck....suck
Richard: Wow...this is.....aahhhhh.....sorry Miranda!
Torbjørn: More graphics! More music! Victory!
Stefan: RAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!
Nurse: Wow....you're SO big.....wow....suck....wobble...
Richard: Aaahhhh.....faster....FFAAASSSTTTEEERR!!!
Stefan: Kill!
Doorbell: Rrrriiiinnnngggg.....
Ronny: What's happening there?
Rune: Hmmm.....that Lou Lou was great. One more swig....
Ronny: I'm gonna be sick.....
MC68000: Here's a plastic bag!
Stefan: Kill! Kill! Destroy!
Ronny: Gee, thanks.
Richard: AAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH! GOD! GOD! THIS IS IT! AAAAHHH!!
Nurse: Wow....you're ever SO big, sir.....wowee!
Ronny: BBbwwwaaaaaarrgghhhh...spletter...splut....vomit....
Stefan: What are you doing?
MC68000: You need a plastic bag, too?
Torbjørn: What a nice picture decrunch routine, Stefke!
Stefan: No thanks.
Kill! Kill!
Richard: If you ever want to suck my thumb again, please feel
free, miss!
Stefan: Kill! Kill!
Doorbell: Rrrrriiiiinnnnnggg (a bit more persistent)!
Rune: I think I am gonna be a bit sicky too....
Stefan: Kill!
Torbjørn: Kill?
Stefan: KILL!!
Richard: Where's the nurse?
MC68000: Do you need a plastic bag as well?
Torbjørn: Kill all that valuable source material? OK - you're the
boss...
Richard: NO!
MC68000: Get the bag!
Rune: Bwwwwwaaaaaarrrrrrgggggghhhhhh vomit splutter splet throw!
Stefan: NO! NOT MY SOURCE FILES!
Harddisk: (Wizzzz....scratch source file...)356
Stefan: Fuck you! I'll slice your dick! I'll pin you with your
balls to the wall! Antichrist! Lord Foul! Satan! Tax man!
Richard: Where's that terrible smell of eau-de-toilette coming
from?
MC68000: Sorry guys...I have to leave. Can I have my plastic bag
back?
Rune: Sure....
Stefan: I need a gun. Or a knife. I'm gonna kill myself...
Torbjørn: Laugh, man! I just checked the file statistics!
Richard: Where's the nurse?
Ronny: Don't ask me. Can you find me a power socket of some kind?
Jeff Minter: Do you know what a bong is?
Doorbell: Rriiinnnggg!
Reagan: You ain't seen nothing yet!
MC68000: Bye!
Door: Craasssshhh!!!
Stefan: My door!
Torbjørn: More music! More code! More text! THE ST NEWS SOURCE!!!
Richard: I wouldn't do that if I were you....
Rune: I think I'll have another go at that Lou Lou....
Ronny: I don't know what a bong is. Do you?
Cronos Warchild: Don't you answer a man on the door anymore?
Stefan, Rune, Richard, Torbjørn, Ronny: Swallow...
Nurse: What AM I doing here? I'd better be off.... Bye!
Cronos: Hey...you guys ain't making a mess of it again, are you?
Stefan, Rune, Richard, Torbjørn, Ronny: (In perfect unison) No,
Cronos. What made you
think we were?
Cronos: Hmmm...what's this eau-the-toilette smell? You aren't
doing dirty things, are you?
Stefan, Rune, Richard, Torbjørn, Ronny: No! No!
Cronos: In that case I'm off again.
Tolkien: Has anyone seen my physical body? I seem to have lost it
when Frodo drank some orange juice in a winter sports
resort...
Cronos: Buzz off, dude! We all read Donaldson here!
Tolkien: Woe! Woe! May the Nazgul eat you! May Eru, the One's
wrath be upon you!
Richard: No thank you, we already have the darned wrath of
Brundtland upon us!
Tolkien: Woe!
Cronos: Well....if nothun's going on I'd better split.
Everybody (including Tolkien): Bye!
Tolkien: Well....I guess I'll be bobbing off, too...
Everybody (not including Tolkien): Bye!
Rune: Where this smell of eau-de-toilette coming from?
Ronny: Does anyone know what a bong is?
Stefan: Where are my source files?
Torbjørn: Oops...wrong option...
Stefan: Kill! Kill! Kill! Just wait, you filthy...
(End of tape)
13:33
Torbjørn can consider himself lucky that my files were
accidentally 'moved' instead of deleted.
I think I could have easily...??! What's happening? No! Is the
darned Z88 purging itself again? I think I'll....

Stefan
13:45
I made an agreement with Torbjørn; I feed him twenty lines of
code a day and he does not rip any of my stuff anymore. We sortof
restored the peace and I want to keep it that way. Rune is now
eagerly eyeing the shelf which contains my after shave bottles,
while Ronny is still trying to inflate his hard disk.
Stefan
14:03
You really should try the 'Trimaran' once, it has a nice touch
to it.
Rune
14:10
Boy, it's hot here. Where I come from, the lands are always
frozen, chill winds sweep the desolate snow plains and the cold
is everywhere. But here in this amazingly flat country, the sun
seems to be quite active. We are now with five people in a small
room with the sun shining directly into it. The temperature is
rising rapidly and poor Rune, who is accustomed to temperatures
way below zero, is having a hard time. Already, he has torn his
shirt off and is bathing in sweat. Torbjørn and Stefan are
discussing machine code stuff and Richard is reading some kind of
magazine. It is amazing how peaceful it is now. I feel like
writing enormous amounts of absurd poetry, but I won't bother you
with that.
By the dirt track, I managed to inflate the damn thing, so now I
can show Stefan and Richard some of the demos Torbjørn has
created!
Ronny
14:20
HAHAHAHAHA!!! HA!!! HAHA!!! HAHAHA!!!!
I couldn't help laughing my head off when I beheld the 'demo'
that Torbjørn created. There was one pityful raster and TWO (!)
sprites. Amazing that people dare to create such things. My
latest demo contained all-borders-busted, stereo music, zillions
of rasters, 80 sprites, wobbles, floppos, sinussos and real-time
solid light-shaded 3D objects rotating around a pulsating ST NEWS
logo and some real-time calculated fractals plus some 450 stars
that formed an all-directions pseudo-3D starfield! HAAHAHAAH!
Stefan
14:29
It turned out that Torbjørn was a bit better than we thought he
was. The 'demo' Stefan just described was one of the very first
things he ever did. He showed us something else which was pretty
impressive. It contained an ST-KLUBBEN logo that was fully
distorting-3D-mirror-rotating and covered almost the entire
screen. It is amazing what demo standards have become on our
humble ST.
Richard
14:45
CODING TIME!!!!
We gave the kids some comics to read and Stefan and myself are
going to do some serious business here. We are going to do a
joined-forces demo which will knock even TEX' 'Maximegalon
Nottobedescribeddemo' off its socks. Yeah.
Torbjørn
15:00
I hope these coding freaks don't forget that we have to finish a
bleeding "ST Klubben" issue here as well - as a matter of fact,
that has Priority Level A now!
I am now listening with one ear to the Dutch news on the radio.
Richard used to say crazy stuff about the Norwegian language, but
I think their Dutch is also quite weird.
Ronny
15:04
The sun just now shone directly in my eyes. It was for that
single devastating moment that I felt energy flowing through my
body as though it was an untamable sea bursting its silty shores
upon my brain and kindling the flame of poetry into an everything
consuming blaze that I now sense more than ever before.
So, you guessed it rightly, it is poetry time again.
Konsertsal trekantet deming
I can't see a fuckin' thing
Punktering fremtre bør innregistreringsblankett
This is best poetic inspiration I ever had
Sollen omdanne drosjesjåfør tennspole
Strange feelings travel through my body whole
Girls beaches stars taxman car
The days of wrath into revengeful war
Mutant cunt and fuckin' slut
Another bad poem up your butt
My fingers are still shaking from the vastness of the
inspiration you just had to witness.
Am I good, or am I GOOD?
I know: I am GOOD.
Thank you for assuring that.
I will have to talk with my agent one day - for I think that I
could earn quite a lot of money with this shit if only people
would start to read it.
Which they probably won't.
Forget I said it.
But don't forget the fuckin' poem. It's the best fuckin' poem
I've fuckin' written uptill fuckin' now and if you don't fuckin'
like it then you should have your fuckin' brains examined (or,
yet even fuckin' better, have them fuckin' replaced).
Richard
15:09
I considered Richard's poem that he wrote when he visited Norway
about half a year ago already quite staggering, but this does it.
I am gonna be sick.
Where's that darned 68000 with the plastic bag?
Torbjørn
15:12
I think the 'Azzaro' is pretty neat, too. It has got a taste
like running water, a fragrance like the polar circle, a bouquet
like a good Coke.
Rune

"We have arrived at a crucial part of the letter. Apart from the

I am beginning to have a slightly nauseating feeling in the
stomach. Might it be a feeling of something called HUNGER?
It could very well be.
I have only eaten once today, and that was in the plane (before
we started flying backwards, and after harassing that sweet
airline stewardess with the incredible boobies.
I would surely have liked to put my hands on those....
Ahem!
Sorry. I forgot that this shit has to be published in ST NEWS as
well.
Pity.
Torbjørn
15:30
Food?
Food!
Yes! Now I come to think of it, I think I could rather do with
some nourishment right now. I haven't eaten as long ago as those
suffering Northerners, but I have a hungry feeling in my lower
abdomen as well.
I hope the food in the trunk of the car hasn't been all too
spoiled, in spite of the fact that it has been standing in the
blazing sun for the whole day. The fresh meat might have gotten a
little stale and might have started to rot a bit.
I will just have to go downstairs and get some of it.
Then we can eat.
Stefan
15:45
I just had the most frightful experience. When I walked towards
the car, I heard muffled noises coming from the trunk and I
suddenly remembered putting someone in there. That someone had
struggled quite fiercefully and I remembered.
FRØYSTEIN!!
Oh my god, he is still in the trunk!!!
I rushed towards the trunk and fumbled with the keys to get it
open. As soon as I started trying to open the trunk, the noises
inside it increased and reached deafening proportions. The whole
car was shaking and I had a real hard time opening the bloody
trunk.
Finally, it swung open.
Peering inside it, I beheld a sight most terrible. There he was,
Frøystein. Once a nice and clean kid, now a monster covered in
groceries, filled with groceries and still hungry. My trunk was
reduced to an abyss filled with torn meat, ripped-open yoghurt
cartons and consumed bags of crisp. Even the spare tire had not
been spared and was savagely ripped open.
He shed his eyes from the sunlight, barked something in
Norwegian and jumped out of the trunk, completely scaring two
little old ladies who were walking their nervous little dogs
shitless. Crying hell and blood, they ran off as if Gro Harlem
Brundland herself was chasing them.
Frøystein looked around and entered the house, looking for his
comrades who had left him. Clenching his little fists, he climbed
the stairs and entered my room. As soon as he saw his three
fellow-nuts, a stream of utterly incomprehensible (even for
Dutchies with a dictionary) words came forth from his jam-
encrusted mouth. Ronny and Torbjørn gazed at him as if he was
their father finding out that their girlfriends were three months
pregnant. Only Rune heeded not attention and continued eating
shaving cream.
I studied him a little and handed him a towel. Then I gently
pushed him towards the shower and completely baffled him when I
turned on the hot tap. "We have not hot water in Norway", he said
in a tiny voice. I pushed him under the shower and the water
purged his being.
He was wet as a drowned cat when I gave him some dry clothes and
shoved him into another room, where he could get rid of his old
ones. A few minutes later, he returned wearing a pair of my jeans
and one of my shirts. The jeans were rolled up almost half-way
and he dragged the sleeves of the shirt behind him like two dead
snakes. We all struggled not to laugh when he proudly entered the
room and started reading a Donald-Duck magazine I especially
bought for him.
Stefan
16:05
Hello everybody. This is Frøystein on the keyboard. They finally
let me out of the trunk and now I am typing on Stefan's ST! We
were in a plane and we flew backwards and we upset a stewardess
and we drove in Stefan's car. Well, I was in the trunk and it was
very dark and I heard a lot of noises and I was scared and I had
to go pee-pee and then the car stopped and they threw a lot of
nice things in there and I ate it all!!
It was very nice...BYE!
Frøystein
16:08
Great.
Because the F-word ate all the damn food we will have to go to
the supermarket again ("Hooray!": Rune-, Torbjørn-and Ronny-
quote).
We will leave in a minute.
Richard
16:19
Uh Oh.
I guess we are in trouble.
As soon as we entered, the Norwegians suddenly again went
berzerk. Especially Rune again got a strange glare in his eyes,
wrestled a shopping-cart from a fat housewife, disposed of the
screaming kid in a large bin of peeled tomatoes and dashed off,
leaving a trail of havoc in his path. Ronny again jumped into
another cart, and Torbjørn again grabbed it, and now they are
wheeling through piles of assorted groceries whilst crying
various Norwergian war cries. Not prepared for such an outburst,
Richard and myself are again left standing completely baffled as
Frøystein attacks a small Dutch girl and ripps her off her
sweeties. He starts consuming them while the girl's mother is
assailing him with her rather large umbrella. Some while later,
he just goes to sit in the car (not in the trunk) and continues
eating the sweeties (lolly-pops, liquorice and more of that. They
have disappeared out of sight now, and only the sounds of
collapsing racks of very fragile glass pots can be heared. I see
several shop attentands rush towards the epicentre of the
tornado, but arrive too late. Already, Rune was carreering
towards us, while taking large swigs from a bottle of eddik. He
rushed past us and crashed head-long into a large rack of
assorted fruit. The thing gave up immediately and our friend
bounced off, completely covered with crushed blåbærene. In the
meantime, Ronny and Torbjørn were busy throwing various breakfast
items at each other. Ronny was already covered with all sorts of
syltetøy and Torbjørn was trying to take a large piece of moden
ost from a screaming attendant in order to hurl it at Ronny.
We were still watching the cataclysmic happening when we
suddenly saw the stores manager rushing towards Rune who was busy
smearing eplemos all over two paralyzed women. Just in time I
could stick out my left leg so the manager tripped and was
rendered incapable of preventing himself from crashing into a
neat pile of cans of which the label said they contained crab,
but when opened, contained a mysterious white power. Several of
the cans could not stand such a violent impact and cracked open,
creating a vast cloud of the aforementioned powder.
Again recognizing their favourite means of expanding their
spirits, the Norwegians immediately assailed the pile of cans and
the manager buried in it. Soon after, hordes of crazed junkies
poured into the store, totally wrecking whatever was left. Total
anarchy resulted, and we wisely decided to leave.
But again we still had to find our dear friends amidst the
apocalyptic mayhem. We found Torbjørn in the middle of a pile of
arme riddere, totally stuffing himself with the small pancackes.
After convincing him of the fact that we HAD to leave, he stuffed
several of them in his pockets and we went looking for the other
ones. Ronny was engaged in combat with several of the stores
attendants, seemingly fighting over the right to posses a large
piece of raw meat. After helping him out, the piece of raw meat
turned out to be a rather bruised Rune, but after feeding him
some karbonadekake, he completely revived and we could barely
refrain him from hurtling himself into the blazing battle.
With a cart completely crammed full of groceries, we emerged
from the store like warriors leaving the grounds of battle. When
we reached my car, I opened the trunk and Richard heaved the cart
into the air, successfully dumping all the foodstuff into the
darkness of the trunk.
Now, FOUR people were on the backseats and Ronny and myself went
on the front seats again.
Stefan
16:48
It was hell - again. It is now very crowded back here, and the
Nutties smell disgustingly of various foods...
Richard
16:59
Back home.
Boy....I swear upon my mother's seat in the garden that I will
NEVER EVER again take Norwegians into a supermarket again. Apart
from the fact that they misbehave, they also practise various
aspects of criminal life (like pinching).
I didn't know that the Norwegian culture was this crooked.
I have had some trouble throwing all these boys (except for
Frøystein whose mouth is only red all around) into the shower so
that they can get rid of the smell of the food as well as some
substances still left upon them.
Stefan
17:32
We have all showered ourselves, and were slightly amazed by the
size of the meal that Stefan and Richard had prepared for us in
the mean while.
The table is laid for five: Frøystein still has enough lolly
pops left, and anyway he ate quite a lot while in that rather hot
trunk. He is sitting on a coloured Carebears placemat.
It's 'zuurkool met worst' as Stefan likes to call it. It looks
good, and it also looks GREAT (with regard to size). Several
large pans are on the table, filled with stew. Some enormous
sausages are located on a large plate.
Stefan just told us that this is winter food, but that it also
was something that turned out to be rather Dutch, so that he
decided to offer it to us anyway.
Let's dig in!
Ronny
17:48
Wow.
My belly is filled from top to bottom and, strange enough, I
have NOW already the feeling that I have to go to the loo.
This is surely heavy stuff. Maybe I shouldn't have accepted that
sixth helping.
We all really ate to our hearts' content, and Frøykid is still
happily licking lolly-pops. His hands are now all sticky and red,
and so is his mouth and a large region around that part of his
face.
He is now even letting one of the "G.I. Joe" figures eat from
them.
The smell of artificial flavour is hanging in the air and
succeeds easily in diminishing the smell of 'zuurkool met worst'.
We all burp and throw up on the table, to make our host know we
liked it, and would like to eat it a second time.
We consume everything that is now splattered on the table, even
licking some of the sticky pieces off.
Torbjørn
17:53
We're doing the dishes and we don't like it one bit.
Stefan and Richard, who did the cooking while we were indulging
ourselves under the hot water of the shower, are now laying back
and discussing something incomprehensible in Dutch.
If I can understand them fully, they say something like "wat
zijn die Noren toch een zooitje halve zolen. Ze wassen al onze
troep af en kotsen aan tafel! En die kleine snotneus zit maar met
zijn stomme poppen te eikelen."
I must remember to have that explained one day by someone who
masters the Dutch language better than we all do.
I should've followed one of those evening courses Dutch.
Stupid me.
But then - could I have known?
Rune
18:08
We have finished doing the dishes. Can I now finally convince
this rabble to start doing something decent and finish this
darned issue of "ST Klubben"?
For that is why we are here: We want to finish our first ever
issue completed outside cold Norway, whereas we alongside will
want to visit some of the local sights as well.
Ronny
18:12
Okay, Ronny! I've got all my coding registers in gear, so I
should be able to do something decent now.
Can someone get Stefan off my back? The guy does not seem to
trust when I'm within a 200 square mile zone of his system with
its precious harddisk...
Torbjørn
18:15
You're damn right you are!
Stefan
18:28
The Nutties now have everything in gear, and Ronny is still
gleaming with pride after he succeeded into successfully
inflating his Atari SH205I (I=Inflatible) Harddisk. He is also a
bit out of breath, so it seems.
They have just started finishing "ST Klubben" and, again, it can
easiest be described by supposing there are four people on the
keyboard at the same time using a clever task-switcher program
(just like I already tried to describe when we visited Norway -
be it maybe in vain). Ronny is writing the last bits of text in
"1st Word Plus", Torbjørn is coding using "Devpac", Rune is
adapting some artwork using "Degas Elite" and Frøystein is
playing Sierra's "Mickey Mouse Space Adventure".
Stefan is standing behind the guys with his hands dangerously
close to Torbjørn's neck - read to crush if such may be needed.
The look in his eyes can be compared with that of a boyfriend
watching his girl friend being turned on by someone else and
waiting until something happens to dash forward.
He has one of his dad's Samurai-swords conveniently located at
his light (er....right) hip.
Richard
18:31
I surely hope this switcher will continue to work...
Ronny
18:32
"Devpac" is great!
Torbjørn
18:36
Hmmm.....let me think....how did one activate that damned
'distort block' option?
Rune
18:38
Yippie! I got to the next level and Goofy is now also there...
Frøystein
18:45
The four freaks are still busy finising ST-KLUBBEN. Sometimes
they throw their hand in the air, swing back their heads and cry
something in perfect unison and continue coding even more
vigorously. I see that little Frøystein is getting restless. I
glance at Ronny and he explains that in Norway, it is now Sesame-
street time. Frøystein is babbling about big bird as I place him
in front of the TV and turn on the kiddies channel. He puts his
thumb in his mouth and starts sucking it desperately.
Stefan
18:55
HA!! While Stefan was busy nursing Frøystein, I quickly ripped
three pieces of music and six pictures from his demos! HAA!!!
Torbjørn
19:03
The kiddies program has ended and Frøystein started to be bored
immediately after. He trotted around, and started fumbling with
joysticks, the mouse and pressed several function keys of the ST.
The task switcher was not prepared for this and started mixing up
several tasks. This ended up in Ronny trying to do wordprocessing
using Degas, Torbjørn entering his source code in WordPlus and
Rune completely ruining some of Torbjørn's source files when
trying to bend a block.
Ronny shouted something very nasty (well, it sounded like that)
in Norwegian to Frøybøy and he sulked off into a corner of the
room. Standing there, sobbing a bit, I felt a little sorry for
him so I passed him a few cookies unseen by his fellow
Norwegians.
He looked at me with grateful eyes, which were glistering with
tears and mumbled 'thank you' in a thick voice. Since I cannot
handle so much infant emotions, my throat clogged up and my eyes
became watery. Triggered by this, Frøystein burst out into wild
crying. Everybody looked up, startled and burst out into sudden
tears. Ronny fell on the ground, his face wet with grief.
Torbjørn cried with long hauls and clasped his arms around Rune
to share his bottomless sadness. They hung on to each other like
two lost brothers. Richard hid his face in an enormous
handkerchief and muffled sneezes sent droplets of wet stuff
flying all over the place. Pretty soon, it was like an Iranian
funeral. Everybody was crying, crawling over the floor, trying to
recover their sanity.
Only Frøystein, who had in some way or another discovered the
cookie jar, was happily sitting on his Carebears placemat.
Stefan
19:08
The first bottles containing alcoholic fluids are opened. Stefan
comes up with two litres of Plantiac Vieux (rumouredly the best
ever), one crate of Coke and some other partly filled bottles
contained e.g. rum, wine and other liquors.
In a while I will have my first ever alcoholic drink (well...not
counting all the after shave and eau-de-toilette).
Rune
19:10
ALCOHOL! Boy! This is surely great! Now I can finally compare
that neat Plantiac stuff with the stuff I am used to drink back
home!
Ronny
19:13
All is well, but I'd rather just drink some Coke. My mummy told
me not to drink alcohol here.
Do you have some regular lemonade?
Frøystein
(Another excerpt of an Aiwa Walkman recording coming up)
Ronny: (Takes a large swig of Plantiac) AAAAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!
Torbjørn: I want some, too!
Richard: And what about me?
Stefan: You should try putting it in Coke sometimes, Frøyie!
Rune: Can you hand me the bottle?
Frøystein: Thanks, Stefke, I will.
Ronny: Here.
Rune: NO! I want none of that stupid after shave. It doesn't go
down easily...
Richard: (Battling his way down to the Plantiac bottle) SWIG!!
Stefan: Burp.
Ronny: Hey! You're pouring alcohol all over me!
Richard: Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh........
Rune: Sorry! No harm done?
Frøystein: What's "Stroh Rum"?
Ronny: No. No harm done. I just smell a bit now.
Stefan: (Giggling slightly) That's a drink you should only take
VERY LARGE swigs of!
Rune: Burp.
Frøystein: (Putting the bottle on his mouth) Swig....swig....
Richard: Oh no...
Stefan: Yes! Yes!
Frøystein: (Whose eyes suddenly bulge out and grow red) Shit!
Fuck! AAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH!
Stefan: Ha hi!
Richard: Burp.
Ronny: You should've read ST NEWS Volume 4 Issue 3's "Llamasoft
Games" review better, Frøybøy!
Richard: Tsssk...tsskk....
Speedy Gonzales: Hariba! Hariba!!
Frøystein: Handere, handere?
Stefan: He's now in his element....
Speedy Gonzales: Zzzzoooppppp..... (gone)
Frøystein: Mummyyyyyyyyy!! (crying)
Ronny: Come on Frøystein...you needn't cry (patting on the back)
Richard: He drank the whole bottle!
Stefan: What?! "Stroh Rum"?!
Ronny: Yep. And you can smell it, too.
Rune: I think I'd rather have that Plantiac.
Richard: Here it is......
Stefan: Hips. Ooops. Sorry.
Richard: Did ya have too much to drink?
Ronny: Can he ever drink too much?
Stefan: Hips.
Richard: Yes, he can.
Torbjørn: (Having been silent for a while, and now holding an
empty bottle of Plantiac in his shaking hands) Hips.
Ronny: Oh God! No!
Thor: Did someone call me?
Frøystein: Hips. Hey....dude. Don't I know you?
Thor: You're damn right you do!
Ronny: NO!
Thor's hammer: Flash!
Lightning: Flash!
Thor's hammer: Hey! Keep your greedy paws off my lines!
Lightning: Sorry.........Zap!!
Thor's hammer: That's better.
Frøystein: Snap...Crackle...Pop
Telephone: Ring....
Stefan: (Answering the telephone) Yes?
Richard: Tele...hips...phone?
Stefan: It's for you (pointing at a small 17-year old kid)
Frøystein: Hips...oops.......hi?
Frøystein's dad: Is that you, sonny? You sound kinda reduced
today...
Thor: You're damn right he does!
Frøystein: Nice you called dad. Yeah...yeah....bye!
Phone: Click.
Richard and Stefan: I can't remember anything can't tell if this
is true or dream deepdown inside I feel to
scream this terrible silence stops me now
that the war is through with me I'm waking up
I cannot see that there's not much left of me
nothing is real but pain now hold my breath
as I wish for death oh please god wake me now
back in the womb it's much too real in pumps
life that I must feel can't look forward to

through the tube that sticks in me just like
a wartime novelty tied to machines that make
me be cut this shit off from me hold me
breath as I wish for death please god help me
now the world is gone I'm just one please god
help me hold me breath as I wish for death...
Stefke, Ritcie, Ronny, Frøykid, Torbjørn'n'Rune: Darkness
imprisoning me I
cannot see
absolute horror
I cannot live I
cannot die
trapped in
myself body my

Stefan: Jeoow....dang...jeooq...da...da....dang...slam!
Stefke, Ritcie, Ronny, Frøykid, Torbjørn'n'Rune: Landmine has
taken my sight
taken my speech
taken my hearing

taken my legs
taken my soul
left me with

Stefan: Jeoow....dang...jeooq...da...da....dang...slam!
Richard: Jeoow....dang...jeooq...da...da....dang...slam!
After these slightly comprehensible sounds and parts of actual
human speech, everybody starts mimicing various musical
instruments. Sounds of towels on people's heads can be heard,
slamming, on the furniture, heads being knocked to the walls and
ceiling, and various other sounds that seem to point at utter
obliteration of a house.
These sounds continue for about half a hour, in which several
bottles can be heard to break, and in which many a burp can be
heard as well.
After that...there is utter silence until the Walkman shuts
itself off automatically after having reached the end of the
side.

That's it. I bet you are gravely disappointed in us now. All
this trash was written by the ST NEWS editorial staff. So now you
see that we really are MULTI-functional (we can't only write
DECENT garbage).
We would, to round this stuff off, like to confront you with a
new star at the firmament of grindcoredeathtrashkillmetal maniacs
and it's a band called "Blasphemy". We haven't heard anything of
them, but we think their 'names' speak for themselves. The
'musicians' (read: Insane violators of formerly slightly
honourable devices called 'musical instruments'):
Noctural Grave Descecrator and Black Winds
Caller of the Storms
Traditional Sodomizer of the Goddes of Perversity
3 Black Hearts of Damnation and Impurity

Ooops. Before we forget.
There used to be a competition attached to this article. So
there will be one here as well.
Send a postcard to the correspondence address with written on it
in large (and, possibly, coruscating) characters:
WHATTEFUCKWAZDAT??
The first correct entry to be ejaculated into the mailbox of the
Master Editor will be rewarded with a copy of the game 'Hound of
Shadow' by Electronic Arts. Or maybe perhaps 'Chambers of
Shaolin'. Just write us a letter that convinces us of the fact
that you want one of these particular games. Be persuasive. If
you are female and about 21, a picture of yourself in (topless??)
bikini will greatly increase the chance of receiving one (or even
both) of these games, even if you're not the first one. But this
is terriby sexist and thus terribly terrible.
Bye.

bad English, youthful arrogance, insults, bravura, over-crediting and
