Newsgroups: gweepnet.ranting Subject: Issue 06 Organization: GweepNet, the GweepCo Cooperative Network - Worcester, MA Reply-To: Followup-To: Keywords: Summary: ISSUE Number SIX 3/8/98 A long-ish ISSUE --------------------------------- 1 The Alma Mater of My Alma Mater 2 How We Became What We Are 3 Good Powers to Have 4 4th one is Meta. 5 Actual, Factual. We Tell You Who's Ticklish. 6 Mods and Burners---Part Two! 7 Letters to the Editor 8 "Farewell! Notice!" --------------------------------- UNTIL THE TIDE RUNS OUT UNTIL THE SEA PICKS YOU UP BY YOUR NOSE (drags your sorry ass around under water on the sand) UNTIL THINGS COME OUT OF THE TV LET OUR ALMA MATER STAND UNTIL THE STEADY BLUE OF N*U*C*L*E*A*R BOMBS UNTIL EVERYTHING IS SOAKED IN GLOOM UNTIL DESPERATION KICKS IN LET THE GOOD OLD COLLEGE TEAM WIN TILL ASTRONOMICAL EVENTS BECOME LESS THAN PREDICTABLE JESUS CHRIST! There's an antenna in your moustache! --------------------- You saw it here first, "But you guys can make anything happen." "If you want to." They gave us massive amounts of power. ---------------------- Good powers to have 1) Power to shoot flames from fingers 2) Power to teleport anywhere 3) Power to make crying children happy 4) Meta-Power to ignore the number 4) 5) Power to fly...."I wish I could fly" (Thx. -Ed) 6) Power to figure out the nutritional value of food, just by looking at it. 7) Power to open up the fridge and make all of the food fly out of it. ------------------------------- This is the fourth power, the meta-power. The meta-article, on meta-power. It used to be that meta meant "self-describing" or "a set that included itself." like, "meta-book is a book about books." But we didn't realize that the meta-book was a BOOK, silly as it sounds, so now we have a lot of vectors to rotate, like heavy railroad hardware, so you'll find us in the Gym, muscling up, to rotate the rust. [ meta-requirement ] (Thx. -Ed) This article has lines. it was words, paragraphs, sentences and all that good stuff. "To the fourth power" "To the meta-power" "Meta functions, which raise meta-values, to their meta-power" "Meta statements, which contain meta-words, about meta-sentences, involving meta-functions and meta-statements." ------------------------------- Mod's and Burners. by Nilgai Retwav A-hem. We haven't really addressed any issues in the last 5 issues of ISSUE, so now, we want to start. We'll start by saying, if you're reading this, you either A) Have issues B) Realize we have issues C) Have a friend with issues. So, if you want to relieve your issues, the thing to do is, either A) Read issues B) get yourself some mod's C) get yourself some burner's --------------------------- At present mods means: 1) Modifications (e.g. to synthesizers) 2) modules (e.g. protracker, impulse tracker, etc) At present burners means: 1) CD-ROM Burners 2) Huge, kick-ass grafitti art --------------------------- It has been expressed recently, that due to overuse of the word "Meta," we might possibly rotate (we could have put ANYTHING here -Ed.) the entire universe 100 gradians, in effect taking the derivative of the world, eliminating many instances of the word, "Meta." And I have to say that, as close we are to Fourier's birthday, your letter disturbs me. Because to take the difference of a set which contains itself and a set would "pop" the element out of the set. And we worked so long to push it in there. -------------------------------- And then they drilled holes and then they put em back there. Thank you for reading, it's been a pleasure. --------------------------------- -- . . . . . . . . ... . . . . .
