MAC ODD - GURU OF THE NORTH
by Casper Falkenberg (Mad Doc)
The character MAC ODD, his surrealistic universe and his
personality as such was co-created by Brian Kunding back in
september 1990. For about a year and a half, MAC ODD posters and
messages appeared all sorts of places, making a lot of people
either laugh, wonder or just plainly vomit. Then, unfortunately,
Brian pulled out of the project, and I had to continue on my own.
I decided that the new forum for MAC ODD was to be an underground
fanzine called "Squird is Weird". After just one apperance by MAC
ODD in "Squirt is Weird", tragedy struck, when one of the two
editors of the fanzine suddenly died. The other editor didn't want
the fanzine to continue, and so, MAC ODD was laid to rest for
quite a while.
BUT NOW, MAC ODD IS BACK!!!
TAKE 1
Inside a dark cathedral...
Cue: Rain.
Cue: More rain.
Atari: "The actors are getting all wet."
"Sorry!"
TAKE 2
Outside a dark cathedral...
Cue: Rain.
Cue: More rain.
Cue: Thunder.
Cue: Lightning.
Cue: Pink Cow wearing sun glasses.
Atari: "The actors are still getting all wet, and they were
supposed to be sitting inside the cathedral."
"Sorry!"
WHAT'S THIS WITH TAKES AND ACTORS?
Don't worry, it isn't really a film, it's just reality.
TAKE 3 (well, actually not..)
Outside a dark cathedral...
Cue: Rain.
Cue: More rain.
Cue: Thunder.
Cue: Lightning.
Inside the same cathedral, which is still dark (although not so
much as before the "Cue: Lightning").
Cue: Pink Cow wearing sun glasses.
Two persons are sitting in the cathedral which has an interior of
stone and wood.
The silly doctor: "Aaaaarrrrghhhhrrrr!"
Pink Cow: "Why are you screaming?"
The silly doctor: "F-f-for a mo-mo-moment I th-thought I saw a
p-p-pink cow!!!"
Pink Cow: "What are you talking about, there is no one here
except for me."
The silly doctor takes a close look at Pink Cow. He is wearing his
usual black clothes that look almost as worn as the man himself,
and his dark sun glasses are in place. Thin rays of light begin to
emerge from the mystical dots on his blue butterfly, and the silly
doctor quickly slips a thick glove on his right hand.
Pink Cow: "Give me your wrong hand!"
The silly doctor: "I really don't know about this.."
Pink Cow: "Come on, come on!"
The silly doctor: "Yes, but on the other hand.."
Pink Cow: "I SAID, give me your wrong hand - NOW!!!"
The silly doctor starts extending his wrong arm.
A few minutes pass.
Pink Cow: "That's enough!"
The silly doctor stops extending his wrong arm.
Meanwhile on the planet Medaljesluger...
A blue dwarf wearing rubber boots is standing on a large table
made of kakaomælk. He is very, very angry and keeps on stepping
his rubber boots against the kakaomælk table, making a sort of
splishy-splashy sound. In a school somewhere in South America, a
child is watching the dwarf through a hole in a blackboard.
Suddenly, the whole school is sucked into the hole in the
blackboard, that unfortunately turns out to be a bored black hole
that suddenly (for it was suddenly that the school was sucked in,
and one must be very accurate with timing when dealing with black
holes, parallel universes and things like that) got this idea that
playing around with south American schools is much funnier than
showing live transmissions from Medaljesluger.
Back to the cathedral...
Pink Cow joins his three hands and presses very hard, causing a
pine tree on the outer rim of a place known as Boghylde to break
into 5.67872125151784 million pieces. His butterfly is turning and
twisting and something is beginning to take shape in his hands.
Before the spider sitting on the arch above can see what it is, he
quickly puts it in the hand of the silly doctor and begins to
vanish. Before he is completely gone, he says his final line, not
to the silly doctor, but to Mad Doc.
Pink Cow: "Stop writing in the present - it just doesn't work.
And quit this movie style - it's pathetic!"
"Okay, Pink Cow!"
The silly doctor was so glad he had brought his stereo chocolate
mousse maker.
WHY SHOULD I BE READING THIS?
At some point in your life, you will understand that the above
information is vital to anyone who wants to find out, just why

DECLAMATION:
If you're a sucker:
EAT DUST!
If you're a motherfucker:
KILL YOUR LUST!
If you're a lamer:
GET A LIFE!
If you're a tamer:
WHY THE HELL DON'T YOU GET THAT LION BACK INTO THE CAGE ?!?
Anyway:
BOW TO THE ALMIGHTY MAC ODD - GURU OF THE NORTH AND DIVINE RULER
OF VRÅBY, KØGE AND HASLEV, THE POWER CENTRE OF EUROPEAN INSANITY,
THE KEEPER OF BIZARRE THINGS, GREAT DANISH DESIGN, YOUR PERSONAL
PAIN, THE ONE THAT KNOWS YOUR NAME AND NUMBER, THE ONE THAT OWNS
ALL THE PHONE BOOKS IN THE WORLD, THE ONE THAT SEES YOU, HEARS YOU
AND HATES YOU NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO OR WHERE YOU GO.
BEWARE - THE EVIL EYE OF MAC ODD IS WATCHING YOU - ALWAYS!
WAS THAT A CURSE THAT WAS JUST CAST UPON ME?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, no, no, nooooooooooooooo!
MAC ODD is really a very nice guy - AS LONG AS YOU BOW TO HIM!
IS MAC ODD REALLY A GUY?
Let's put it this way. MAC ODD is a divine being that needs lots
of young innocent girls every day for divine sex. So you can
either see MAC ODD as a man (but that's so ordinary) or as a
LESBIAN WOMAN. Actually MAsadksadkopaweeeeeerjpsjjmsdtfjeisjfigjd!
"Sorry, I just had to wipe the remaining parts of a super-feminist
off my keyboard. I wonder how she got there. OH GOD! It's my
wife!"
Atari: "Hey, Mad Doc isn't married, who are you?"
"I'm Batman!"
Atari: "Please, don't unplug me."
"I won't unplug you, just promise to log on to all your friends
and tell them about me!"
At this point, the mighty MAC ODD brought forth his divine
scissors and cut the power to known Atari. For he was the god of
insanity and not of foolishness, and he didn't want his much hated
followers to read such complete nonsense. And at the climax of his
wonderful mission, MAC ODD discovered the true nastyness of
electric current, and the true faul nature of the green sofa that
had sold him the scissors, under the false pretence that it was
made of a unique material through which no electron could pass.
MAC ODD went to divine hospital where the silly doctor covered his
body in divine plaster. And for a couple of weeks, the universe
generally seemed a rather nice place be...
Quote from "The Book of Seldomly Used Finnish Wisdom":
"Yes, that is a great concept. Let's eat it and squaredance."
MAC ODD says: "Excuse moi, excuse moi, you must do lots of do-bi-
di-doo do-it-yourself stuff" (for MAC ODD is such a
naughty little rascal)
"Get off the keyboard Andy Bell!"
"No, no, I didn't say get off ON the keyboard, just leave it!"
"Look, you can get off on Vincent's keyboard, I'm sure he'll like
that!"
And so it was, that the mighty MAC ODD had to take over the
keyboard himself, while Mad Doc was getting sued for defamation

FIVE SECONDS OF SILENCE.

THE ART OF DESTRUCTION (HOW TO BUILD A SMALL BRIDGE).
First of all, you must decide exactly what you want to destroy
(find a good place where the stream isn't too broad). Then you
must find the perfect weapon for destroying whatever it is you
want to destroy (decide how many man-made tools you need and how
much nature itself can provide). Usually, a nice heavy club will
be just fine, and it's an excellent choise if you're not quite
sure what to bring (some wire and a good pocket knife will do the
job). Now bring out the pocket knife (club).. Sorry, (Sorry,) the
club (pocket knife) and examine it closely. You may need to add
some spikes or something to make the effect greater (oil if the
blade is all rusty, because you forgot to wipe it after slicing
that water melon last summer). To motivate yourself, get out a
sliced water melon from last summer and bash every piece to bits
(this is all pretty boring, why don't you rather:)
FOR THE SAKE OF INHUMANITY, SING WITH MAC ODD:
Melody: "I go 'a drowning my baby".
Pushing and shoving all day long,
the hounds will get you, the hounds will get you
Join me now as I sing this song,
the hounds will get you, the hounds will get you
Going to meet this virgin of mine,
the hounds are closing, the hounds are closing
Going to feel so bloody fine,
the hounds are closing, the hounds are closing
Knocking, oh knocking on her door,
re-open the hounds! Re-open the hounds!
Throwing her father onto the floor,
re-open the hounds! Re-open the hounds!
Seeing the tenderness in her eyes,
the hounds will be there, the hounds will be there
Softly caressing her innocent thighs,
the hounds will be there, the hounds will be there
Searching her body with hungry hands,
the hounds have arrived, the hounds have arrived
Exploring her fertile and juicy lands,
the hounds have arrived, the hounds have arrived
Preparing to use my enormous rod,
the hounds are biting, the hounds are biting
"Oh that hurts!", I hate all this blood,
the hounds are biting, the hounds are biting
But the mighty MAC ODD knew that the hounds indeed wern't biting
the young couple, for they were miles away.
The silly doctor slowly opened his wrong hand...
