Hey all, who here watches the Wonder that is "Sifl & Olly"? If you don't think it's funny, well then YOU DON'T GET IT!!! I think Jim henson may have started my puppet-infatuation. Anyway, guess who got an interview with Liam Lynch (AKA Olly)? THE SHRUB!! that's right!! bwahaha And even tho *I* was the one who scouted him out and made him come to us, jason got to do the interview, and I must say, i could probably do better, but oh well, it's hits-wille for The Shrub in November! otherwise, it's a business-as-usual issue next month, but our hits went well above the 2000-per-month mark this month, so i am hoping for some return customers. LIKE YOU! More on that in November, when i let you all know the new issue is out! Anyhoo...as for halloween costumes, I'm going to a "freak" themed party as the tattooed girl. But there's a catch-- only going to show minimal skin :) Who knows how many drunk guys i will have falling over me saying "show us your clit tattoo!!" eeew GROSS. Anyway, i have a feeling it's going to be big bucks. Got to get enough fake tattoos to cover my neck and feet. As for my hands, i think i'll draw them on. Now, let's just hope that they come OFF come sunday....don't want to be wearing turtle neck shirts all week. Okay that's all. you suck. Jess :) *********************************************************** I'm not just naked, I'm Naked for Jesus!!! * --+-READ THE SHRUBBERY-+-- * http://www.theshrubbery.prohosting.com --New Every Month- -Humor, Music, News and More-- *********************************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Oct 1998 01:21:08 -0800 (PST) From: "Jordan W."

I will tell you all what I am going to be for Halloween if you promise not to laugh...alright? Posh Spice! My four friend and I are hitting the bars as the Spice Girls, and since I have straight brown hair, I get to be Ms. Addams. I get to pout all night. So here is a dream for you to Annelyse, Anne: Last night, I had a long dream about the newspaper (I'm editor in chief of our college paper). Our printer has been acting up in real life lately, so when I walked into the office in my dream, all these people descended upon me, saying, "Katy, the printer's broken! Fix it, fix it!" So I went to check it out, and all of a sudden, a glossy piece of paper printer out and I realized that was what had been jamming it up--and then I freaked out when I realized it was one of my Ben Folds Five posters. (I have in real life a couple BeFeFe posters like the kind they hang up in a club that have a little white space to say the date/place). In my dream, it had been rolled up in the office (although in real life, it was until recently rolled up on my windowseat) and I completely freaked out and started yelling at the girl who had printed out her page on it. And then another poster came out that she had printed on, and I continued to go nuts and chew her out... any ideas? embarrassing story: my older sister (who is almost 29, BTW) likes to call me up and annoy me by breathing heavily into the phone like an obscene caller. She's been doing this for years. So this morning when I answered the phone and heard heavy breathing, I assumed it was her, so I started doing it myself. And then all of a sudden, I hear, "Katy? It's Dick Wallace" (who is my old, asthmatic art history prof). And I was mortified and now my art history prof thinks I am a strange pervert. cheers, Katy ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Oct 1998 13:01:03 EST From: F2G2@aol.com Subject: zoiks! i have the best costume of all, for varying reasons. i am shaggy from scooby doo. matthew ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Oct 1998 13:07:07 -0500 From: Dan Cohen Subject: Dan Cohen, rebel bastard Hullo all. It's 1 pm and I'm sitting at home behind a computer desk, rather than in English class. Why, you ask? Because I felt like shit this morning, and I decided to take a day off. I never do this. I've missed a total of 6 days including this one in three years of high school. However, considering the sheer importance of my conference at work and the fact that I stayed up all night playing that damn Nintendo 64 my friend Mike hasn't picked up yet and watching "NewsRadio" at 2:30 am (the classic sandwich machine episode, which features two of the best Phil Hartman sight gags in history), I decided when I arose at 6 that it was a good idea to stay home and not face a long, boring day. So I did. I'm really waiting for the premiere of the Mr. Show with Bob and David tonight at 1 am. OK, so the actual premiere was Monday, but I fell asleep. :P That's the trouble with HBO; except for the regular weekly shows, none of the programming is on at a regular time. And the porn isn't as good as Skinemax. Did I say porn? I meant, um, educational consumer programming. *nervous laugh* Well, I'm watching the John Glenn thing. Not too impressive. I can watch shuttle launches on the weird NASA channel any day of the week anyhow. Halloween costume? I don't know, honestly. I'll grab my check Friday night and head to the mall as usual. I'm definitely going, and if worse comes to worse I'll just throw on a sheet, hope it's warm that night, and say I'm Caesar. Welp, time to take a shower and go off to work. Bye! ~Dan ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Oct 1998 16:31:04 -0500 From: "Lyons, Anne" Subject: Phew! Hey all! What a day! I've been busybusybusy. But I just had to get a quick note off to the RF... The RF Singles Club sounds like a good idea... but it sounds like E thinks that the Denmother and the Fearless Leader (due to our attached status) should stand on the sidelines as chaperones! Like I'm going to walk over to Ginger and Scott and say... "Leave room for the Holy Spirit, now kids!" Hell no! I'll be bellying up to the bar buying rounds for the legal folks! I mean, I understand that E is a daddy now, so maybe he is trying to set a good example for wee Kate... but me? I'll be there with bells on! Perhaps even literally. = ) Sorry... I've just been in one of those moods lately. Like I want to go paint this bled white town red... I am SO ready for a roadtrip. A BENcon, if you will. Apparently, no one but me can make it to the Pearl Harbor Bacchanalia... so who is hosting the shindig? I'm nominating Spencer, jsut because I like to type the name Spencer. Go ahead... try it, it's fun... Spencer Spencer Spencer. Markus is fun to type, too... but he lives too far away. So where's the par-tay? I think I need a drink. I'm all wound up today. Slam of the day: My hair is all curly today (due to the rain last night). And I made the mistake of wearing a black, ballet top to work. A guy who works in the next cube over said to me... "So didja rent Grease last night?" It took me a moment... but then I got it. Oof! Good thing I understand that he is like me... if I'm NOT busting you, it means that I don't like you. I only take the time to creatively insult the people I actually like! *grin* But I think that his slam was quite creative... I was impressed. Fear of Pop... or FOP as I like to think of it. I'm looking forward to it. Bentent. - -Anne "It ain't no sin to be glad you're alive..."

I've been so busy. too busy to go out and get an ethernet cable. still have nothing to do for halloween. I want to go as Uncle Walter. I don't ahve a costume together. i'm imagining myself like the father on "you can't do that on Television!" Did you ever watch that show? I also never told you guys about Guster. That was a great concert! I had no idea about their cult following, but I understand why they have it. You MUST see them if you get the chance. drumset = bongo drums. also, the opening act was train from Sanfran? They also, were great. erik, KT's sooo cute. We should make her a BFF shirt to wear for the next ben-con.

Kathryn will even come out of hiding in OC for you. i think we could have a damn lot of fun. we could take over the radio station and have a giant party in Studio B. not that studio B is all that giant... but work with me, people! i just ate an entire bag of Lay's sour cream & onion chips. i'm a cow. mooooo. hey, i might get to world premiere another band's CD on my show next week. i'm working on getting Jet Set 6 to come in, so we'll see about that. Sarax Janellex Millerx..... did you get me a B&S shirt? or must i turn to Scott? umm.... i won tickets to see Semisonic with Guster tomorrow night. neat. i finally get to see the Dan Wilson sex dance. booyah. i just have a feeling i'm going to want to BEAT DOWN the legion of teenyboppers in attendance.
