| I find Spigot to be the funniest. |  Rands |
 Mr. Bad |
Hey, don't respond to Arkuat! He's a non-entity in this interview. |
 Enigma |
How much time do you spend in a week putting the strip together? |
| WHOOPS <strike>sorry</strike> | Rands |
 Tjames |
Do any of you spend much time on Usenet? |
| Pants does most of the stripping now... I haven't done much in many months. | Rands |
Mr. Bad |
Shit, here's the gangfuck interview! |
Tjames |
Wah. We don't have a list of questions. We just like to shout em out at random. |
| tjames: I use it as a resource, but I haven't posted in years | Rands |
Mr. Bad |
Usenet is for retards who think pretend religions are funny, Tjames. |
| Usenet is dying. Oh well. | Rands |
Tjames |
Right. But some of your stuff reminds me of alt.stupidity on a good day. |
Mr. Bad |
This is a courtesy email for a cross-posted message. |
| Not familiar with it. | Rands |
Enigma |
Random streams of words intersect and die. |
Tjames |
It real gay. |
Mr. Bad |
Oh, hey, here's a real question! |
| PREPARED | Rands |
Mr. Bad |
SHHHHHHHH Let me ask my question. |
 Arkuat |
tjames was a hardcore usenet guru with much protocol juju. |
Mr. Bad |
OK, so, there's one Jerk City that's all in Esperanto. |
Mr. Bad |
Which I thought was fabulous! It was "Ech Ofendema..." |
Enigma |
Esperanto is the language of really bad people of the future. |
| Deuce is the ESPERANTO FREAK in the bunch | Rands |
Mr. Bad |
Who did the Esperanto? Was it translated by a computer program? |
Tjames |
Mr. Bad is all gay for Esperanto, as you can tell. |
Mr. Bad |
No! Really! You have an ESPERANTO FREAK? |
| I'm guessing Deuce did it.... | Rands |
Mr. Bad |
Shut up, you're all gay for Usenet and you got to do your stupid Usenet question. |
Arkuat mumbles something about lojban.
Mr. Bad |
That's crazy. |
Mr. Bad |
I'm going to get Deuce to do a separate interview, ALL IN ESPERANTO. |
Mr. Bad |
And then we will make fun of all of you fuckers in our personal secret language. |
Mr. Bad |
OK, that will probably never happen. |
Enigma |
uckfay ffoay |
Tjames |
Shut up. So, do you guys all work in The Industry, or does anybody have normal jobs? |
| We're all geeks ranging from Directors of Engineering -> PERL WIZARDS | Rands |

Tjames |

Mr. Bad |
BUrn this Flag. |
Mr. Bad |
Or something. |
Enigma |
BTF was San Jose |
| Sounds familiar | Rands |
Mr. Bad |
Rands, we pretty much PEAKED CREATIVELY during the late 80s, and so all we ever talk about is like 8N1 and YMODEM-G and shit. |
Tjames |
Anyway, we are also all big stupid gay BBS people in past lives. I think everybody here had their own board, except for Mr. bad. |
Mr. Bad |
If you are cool we will make you a CO-SYSOP and give you 3l337 access and shit. |

Enigma |
& the Temple of the Screaming Electron was my setup. |
| Takes me back... I ran METROPOLIS, DRAGON FLIGHT, AND SOMETHING CALLED PINK SEX | Rands |
Tjames |
You have 16 gold coins. Would you like to (D)eposit or (W)ithdraw coins? |
Mr. Bad |
Yeah, right. Tjames had one of those boards that he'd turn off whenever he needed to use the phone. |
Tjames |
No, I had two phones. |
Enigma |
Those all sound strangely familiar. |
Arkuat |
"you have dialed the number of the beastie. proceed at your own risk." |

The annual 420 Hippie Hill event in Golden Gate Park, where large crowds of hippies, wannabe hippies, and hippie poseurs drape themselves in tie dye t-shirts and gather on a hill on 4/20 to smoke weed, was cancelled this year because the organizers couldn't get their act together. (More...)

Poor Metallica. All they want is to continue to put out the same weak "Heavy Metal" they've been churning out since the "And Justice For All" days? and make gooey wads of cash in the process. The problem is, people aren't buying their bound for the heavy metal scrap heap, over-produced, uninspired, tired crap. And let's face it, their various commercial endorsements won't pay for the lifestyle they've become comfortably accustomed to. Resorting to lawsuits makes perfect sense, when you need spending money. But just one lawsuit isn't going to pay their bills. So, to aid Metallica, I've composed an open letter to the boys in the band, with suggestions as to whom else they might sic their lapdog lawyers on... (More...)
Spock Went, Spock Wrote, Spock Kicked Ass
Every Labor Day weekend a large portion of the PDJ staff joins 30,000 other freaks at one of the biggest and strangest art festivals in the world - Burning Man - somewhere on the edge of the Black Rock Desert. Our base of operations is always the ultra swank Spock Mountain Research Labs - the World Leaders in Beverage Science and Leisure Technology. This year, we hauled up our computers, printers and a massive digital duplicator, determined to become Black Rock City's third daily newspaper. Even Spock was surprised by our success - news will never be viewed the same on the playa. Read all seven issues of the 2002 Spock Science Monitor for yourself and see why. (More...)
It was early in May last year when I first heard about Spock Mountain Research Labs. I was working on a story about a Hungarian scientist's new approach to nucleopeptide synthesis when I got a call from my friend Albert. (More...)

About 14 years ago when I was on a road trip and stopped in Seattle, I was invited to a party. At this party there were these little tiny glasses sitting in a flat-bottomed bowl of ice. Thin cylinders about an inch in diameter and 4 inches tall, with thick glass at the bottom. Into these were poured frozen AKVAVIT... also known as the water of life. (More...)
