With the truth so dull and depressing, the only working alternative is wild bursts of madness and filigree.

Wil Shipley Quiet
1998-11-29 10:55:00
For the first time since the tragic breakup with his long time lover and net-celebrity Kim Rollins, the jilted Internet Casanova and founder of Omni Group, Wil Shipley, did not post anything about the break up on the web yesterday.
Pigdog's panel of experts was divided on what the lack of news really means. Most felt that Shipley had simply drank himself into a sleep induced coma and would continue his ranting as soon as the Mother of All Hangovers dissipated. Others felt that Shipley had acquired several high caliber handguns and was out searching for the romantic hideaway where Rollins and her new lover were engaged in 24 hour non-stop completely orgasmic sex. The type of sex that Shipley was apparently unable to provide to his long time companion. And finally, one lone person voiced that Shipley had finally come to his senses and realized that posting intimate details of a soured relationship on the web wasn't the best method of mending a broken heart. This heretic was immediately taken out behind the Pigdog Publishing Pub and Fortified Bunker and beaten to a pulp with truncheons.
This lack of news has raised concerns elsewhere in the world. Pigdog Editor and long time Rollins fan, Mr. Bad, was quoted as saying "Damn that Shipley... how can we have a crisis if that bastard stops posting? We want a crisis... we NEED a crisis!!!! You can't believe the traffic the Rollins/Shipley Crisis has generated. He's killing our ad revenue and if he doesn't get his ass moving we're gonna hack his site and post for him." Mr. Bad's legal consul later denied that their client had made the above statement.

Canadians Not So Different After All
Nobody wants to be prejudiced. But sometimes you can be biased and not even realize it. I think many Americans are biased in this way against Canadians. I never really stopped to think about it, but I myself used to be this way. I guess I thought that Canadians were "stuck-up" — you know, smarter and better cultured than us. But then I got educated about Canadia. (More...)
Clowns Take on God in Mysterious Annual Ceremony
Last Sunday's (the 6th) Grimaldi Service at a small church in East London was a red-letter day for clowns worldwide. About a hundred old-school red-nosed clowns made the sombre trip to darkest Dalston to pay their respects to clowns who died in the last year and to thank God for the gift of laughter in a bizarre ceremony presided over by the eccentric Reverend Clown Roly, resplendent in a garish red lumberjack shirt with oversized gold lapels.

A Day in the Life of a Beverotologist
It was starting to look like a very boring Saturday, trapped as I was in the suburban wastelands of the outer Bay Area, so I called my Able Assistant (AA) and proposed that we perform some Spocktail field tests. For some time I've been working on creating the quintessential cinematic beverage and even tho' SMRL does most of its testing during nocturnal hours, this seemed an opportune time to roll up the sleeves of our labcoats and get some science done. While the beverotology creation tested this day (The Neurotoxin) must be deemed a success, this article focuses more the journey of the experimenters, rather then the science of beverotology.
