Tamagothi -- The Tamagotchi for Goths!
1999-07-28 02:16:26
So I always used to see these mimes hanging out at the ice cream parlor on Third and Market here in San Francisco. The'd be dressed in their black clothes and their white face makeup and they'd just sit around and make dramatic gestures and never say anything. Then someone told me that they were goths!
Curious, I went out on the web to find out more about this new breed of mime. Aside from a million and one badly-done geocities sites praising such mime bands as Marilyn Manson and The Cure, there is really only one good explanation of these ice cream-loving clowns: the tamagothi site.
The tamagothi is like a tamagotchi virtual pet, only its sole purpose is to train parents to raise their mime children properly. It is real-life training for the care and feeding of mute adolescents from an early age.

Johnnie Royale's Guide to Wakes
Wakes can present problems for Bad People of the Future. (If you don't know what a BPotF is, you need to read more of the PDJ.) Sure, your friend is gone and you miss him and that really sucks; it does, I know. But all Bad People of the Future are gonna die, and they have all accepted that fact. They do deserve, however, to have one final kickass party to celebrate all the bad things they've done in the past, present and future. And you, as a friend, have to make sure that their desire for a final send off is well executed (sorry for the pun). That's just the way of BPotFdom. (More...)
