Well, my dad grew up below the poverty line - so I got a lot of stories about walking to school in a blizzard, up hill; both ways - sounds pretty horrible... so I want to avoid having to live in a neighborhood like that.

Godzilla Destroys Bass Brothers, Ft. Worth in ShitStorm Crazy Orgy
2000-03-31 12:28:30
Okay, so I know the "official" statement out of my birthplace is that there was a "tornado", but I have the "inside" scoop on the whole Ft. Worth "incident." My "sister" works in downtown Ft. Worth, and according to her, and a few other "unnamed sources," Godzilla got in a Tizzy Fit and destroyed downtown. As to why this happened, well, that's a long story...
The Bass Brothers own downtown Fort Worth. They made all their money in the 1800s selling smallpox-laden rifle cartridges to the US Cavalry for the Comanche problem. After that, they bought the sleepy old frontier fort, and converted it into a big sleepy CowTown where wayward cowboys could drop off their cattle and screw cheap hookers instead of each other.
About two weeks ago, the Bass Brothers got bored with that and converted all the cattle barns to giant Honking skyscrapers, simultaneously ending the cowboy and cheap hooker era. So, now the Bass Brothers are the quintessential Texas bizzillionaires with big phallic skyscrapers with their names all over them and 900-ft.-long Texas Cadillacs (that's a Chevy Suburban to you uninitiated).
Apparently, Godzilla didn't get the news, because He showed up Tuesday night about 6pm CST with a powerful hunger for beef. Finding nothing to eat and irritated by the Honking skyscrapers, He went into a shitstorm orgy of destruction. My sister watched from the 20th floor of the Bass Towers as 900 ft. Suburbans and Texas bizzillionaires flew all over the place.
You can check out the "official" story at the link below, but you and I both know that when Godzilla comes looking for some downhome Texas barbeque, you better have it ready.

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.

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...)
