KERRIST. THIS PLANET IS OVERDUE FOR A TOTAL WIPE.
-- Head Freezin' Gene
Allons-y! Let's go to Mars!
2001-05-28 15:17:16
For the past decade, we have pined for the Red Planet. But we lack the necessary Cold War impetus to drive us there. Our Capitalistic state now considers the cost to be far too egregious, but another totalitarian socialist regime has seen fit to plan a mission to Mars -- Canadia!
The Red Planet may be soon sporting a maple leaf, if the dastardly Canucks have their way. A Canadista colonization ship may well be on its way to the fourth rock from the sun by the time you read this message!
What does this mean for good, honest, hard-working, red-blooded Americans? Well, once established as a Canuck colony, Mars will be an enforced French/English zone. NASA will have to spend kerbillions of dollars re-fitting its equipment with bilingual labels and manuals. The expense is staggering!
The trip itself will be done on the cheap, costing roughly US$50,000 overall ($500 million Canadian).

Vacationing from Somnambulant Narrow Realities
So about six months ago, I was chilling in Chang Mai, Thailand with ICBINJ, perursing the Bangkok Times over my banana pancake and Big Chang breakfast when I spotted this article reprinted from the LA Times. It was about some kooks from California (where else?) who were claiming to have been to the front lines in Afgahnistan in mid-December and had recorded the whole feat on their website. "Holy Fuck!" I thought, "Now That's web journalism. Who are these guys!?" (More...)
