I've been found out! How did you know I was "Kick-Man: The Masked Ass Kicker"? Crackers, a mild mannered accordionist ponders the increase of crime in Hamilton and decides now is the time for action. "Criminals are an ignorant, unmotivated lot. What I need is a name that will enlighten and motivate their hearts. What they need.... ... is a good ASS KICKING!" Now joined by his youthful ward Sphincter, The Boy Orifice he dons a mask and steel toed boots and takes on the role of Kick-Man, the Masked Ass Kicker, defender of the city. [A dark alley in the decaying downtown core of Hamilton] Thug 1: Alright lady hand over your donuts and coffee. Thug 2: Yeah. Lady: Take off! Go get your own, hose-head. There's a Tim Hortons 50 yards in any direction in this city. Thug 1: Listen lady. Don't piss me off or you'll get what for. Thug 2: Yeah. Suddenly a triumphant blast rips the air and out of a cloud of gas steps... KICK-MAN: THE MASKED ASS KICKER and SPHINCTER: THE BOY ORIFICE! Kick-Man: You really should do something about that problem Sphincter. Sphincter: Sorry Kick-Man, but I had the bean burrito special at taco bell. Thug 1: Aw crap! It's Kick-Man and Sphincter, the Boy Orifice! Thug 2: Yeah. Kick-Man: Unhand that woman's donuts you foul fiends. Or face the wrath of my boots of justice. Thug 1: Piss off Kick-Man! I want these donuts and I'm taking them. Thug 2: Yeah. Lady: He's got my coffee too... and I haven't even had a chance to roll up the rim. Kick-Man: The cads! To action Sphincter. Here's a little enema courtesy of Defasco. [Springing into action, Kick-Man swiftly plants his boot into the rear of Thug 2] Thug 2: Ooof! [Sphincter wraps his arms around the waist of Thug 1 and exicutes his trademark "Pinch an Oaf" manouver. But before he succumbs to the contraction Thug 1 lubricates himself with the filling of a jelly donut and slips through Spincter's mighty muscled ring] Thug 1: Nice try Butt-Boy. But you're not going to make an ass out of me! [Thug 1 runs down the alleyway] Sphincter: Holy Motion Lotion Kick-Man, that Thug is slipping away! Kick-Man: Not if my Boot-a-rang has anything to do with it. [Kick-Man hurls his Boot-a-rang down the alley, striking the fleeing Thug 1 right in the ass. The donut thief does a lip-skid across the pavement landing in a crumpled heap of discarded condoms and other assorted Hamilton flora] Thug 1: I seem to have erred in my assumption that I would escape. Kick-Man: Never make an assumption. It just gives me the umption to kick your ass. Spincter: What the hell does that mean? Thug 1: I see now the error of my ways. I was wrong to try and take this lady's donuts and coffee. I see now that Hamilton is a land of donut shops all waiting for motivated individuals to get up off their lazy asses and sit down on a counter stool for a couple of hours stuffing their faces with delicious lard and flour snacks and strong coffee. Thank you Kick-Man. Thank you for giving me a good kick in the ass. Thug 2: Yeah! Kick-Man: Always happy to enlighten and motivate a citizen of this fare, yet smelly, city. Now take this twoonie any go forth and purchase 20 Tim-Bits as a decent law abiding citizen should. Reformed Thug 1: Thanks Kick-Man, and Sphincter, the Boy Orifice. You two are alright in my books. Reformed Thug 2: Yeah! [The thugs depart where 20 feet away they find a Tim Horton's and rejoin society] Kick-Man: Our work here is done Sphincter. Let us retreat now to the Butt Cave. Sphincter: Woohoo! [And with that the duo disapears into the night] Lady: Hey!! Those bastards smooshed my donuts and spilled my coffee!

They've been playing songs from the Gateway To The Minds Eye album on it. So far I've seen Armagedeon and Ascent Of Man. Neat stuff, but the soundtrack is much better than the animation I've seen so far. I remember reading a review of the video tape in a sci-fi magazine and it really pissed me off. They were reviewing both "Minds Eye" tapes, the one with Thomas Dolby doing the soundtrack and the one with Jan Hammer. What pissed me off about the review was it said the soundtracks were the weakest parts of the projects and that Thomas and Jan are too outdated to work with cutting edge computer animation. The reviewer suggested watching the tapes with the sound off and Nine Inch Nails or Marilyn Manson playing on the stereo. (Marilyn Manson... feh! Now there's a no-talent yahoo who's laughing his way to the bank) Sheeesh... another Nintendo-Generation, Store-Bought-Rebel who thinks anything that lasts longer than the expiry date on a milk carton is "outdated". I guess Fantasia would be a good movie if those has-beens Bach and Beethoven wern't on the soundtrack and if Mickey was 3-D rendered and texture mapped with real mouse fur.

So glad someone mentioned this. I tried to watch Batman & Robin last night. I really really did. The Clooney one. I kept saying to myself, "it's just a comic book, give it 5 more minutes." Halfway through side 2 I decided that watching Tamales World Tour on the Food Network was infinitely more entertaining (and it was an episode I'd seen before). Glad it's not just me. What is WITH those flicks. Same thing happened with the Penguin one. - -- Elaine Linstruth Palmdale, CA (USA) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Nov 1997 13:51:22 -0500 From: Tim Dunn <113203.2623@compuserve.com> Subject: Re: Alloy: I itch all over let me sleep...

Talking of Guinnes, have you had the Guinness screen saver doing the rounds in the US. It was very popular over here last year, even had the music from the TV add, if you were lucky enough to have a sound card installed. You can get the latest one from http://www.guinness.ie if you're that way inclined. Now, who prefers draught to bottled or canned (with a widget, of course)?

Don't they KNOW what a great public service you're offering. I don't think it was even a 'uman bein' wot wrote to you, it looks like a dog damn automatically generated piece of crap to me, the kind that my bank are wont to send me from time to time (bastards also; they write to tell me I'm overdrawn and then slap extra charges for the unauthorised borrowing AND for the damn letter as well, which just increases the debt, so they write again next month, and the debt increases and they write again and the debt increases and ........ I think you get the picture). This message, incidentally, is being sent from the PC in the Governor's Office at Strangeways Prison [Debtor's Wing] where I am currently serving 2 to 5 for not paying the bank's postage on all them bloody letters they keep sending me. I'm only able to get access because the Guv's PC seems to be suffering from the Crackers Virus which just displays 'Yeah' when he boots it up and no one on the staff knows how to use Dr Solomon's Virus Ass Kicker to remove it. Luckily I do, so I've managed to negotiate an early release on condition that the PC is in working order before tomorrow morning so the staff can check the lottery results tomorrow night, the only working TV in the place having been broken in an attempted break out by 'Mad Dog' Boddington Hyde, heir to the Boddington's / Hyde's Anvil Ales fortune, who was recently convicted of watering the bitter, which used to be a capital offense until hanging was abolished a few years ago.
