Diabolical anti-American diatribe
2002-05-28 10:56:57
Armed with drooling end-user software, Canadistas are dirtying the internet with anti-American / pro-Canadian web filth.
Using Adobe's GoLive! software package, "Canadian World Domination" libels everything that is good and right in the world (America and Americans) and promotes things both ugly and disgusting (Canadia and Canadians). The sick bastards responsible not only use pompous and confusing vocabulary such as "sublimation" and "inevitable" within the first paragraphs of their homepage, but go as far as to intermix French and English words in the accompanying javascript menubar.
WARNING: After navigating through the half-assed static web pages with the Opera browser, I discovered a link section to so-called "culture" as well as pro-Canadista and anti-Canadia websites. One began with a picture of a squirrel, was followed up with a cartoon picture of a squirrel with a hat on, followed by several titles using the term "skwerl" (I presume this is the 19th century British spelling that is still used in Canadia) which subsequently crashed my browser with an excess of poorly coded javascripts. This is a Canadan trick to make hard working Americans lose their email when trying to inform their friends of an upsurgance in Canadian patriotism by crashing their web browsers (since a Canadian would likely be doing little more than binge drinking and diddling themself while they surf.)

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...)
During a magnificent sunny day in a fast receding autumn, the Spock Science Monitor reporters once again blew the playa dust off of their computers and covered the 2002 Burning Man Decompression – held every year just east of Portola Hill in beautiful San Francisco. Both an afternoon and evening issues were released to the unsuspecting crowd of freaks attempting to in some small way experience the euphoria of the playa – if but for a brief afternoon far from the desolation of Northern Nevada.

Paranoid Strippers & Psychotic Crack Dealers (Tales of Christmas Eve)
Christmas day, for the last 17 or so years has bored me. I find that the real fun and excitement always takes place on Christmas Eve. Every other year, it's the excitement of the metaphorical hunt instead of the kill. Otherwise, it's just plain bad craziness. (More...)
