SPOCK-2-K
1999-12-15 13:10:10
I think that if I've got to see the ENTIRE WORLD COLLAPSE this holiday season what with Y2K and all, I want to do it SPOCK-STYLE! And now the man himself has a BOOK to EXPLAIN HOW!
Chiggity-Check it out! Big SPOCK has a crazy BOOK and WEB SITE about surviving the DESTRUCTION of EARTH CULTURE come 1/1/2000. His new book, "Y2K Family Survival Guide" is a MUST-BUY for fans for civilization, families, and of course SPOCKO!
I don't have this book yet, but I'm sure it has lots of cool explanations of how to panic wildly, foam at the mouth, roll your eyes and bring Western culture to a screeching halt. Hopefully there's also good diagrams of how to make a crazy space ship to fly out of Earth and into a GOOD PLANET where there ain't no WHY TWO KAY!
I'm not exactly sure if I understand WHY Spock wrote this book, though. Why doesn't he just go back in time to the Sixties and tell the computer programmer guys at IBM with the big slide rules that they should not be dumb about Y2K? It would be real easy, so I don't understand! Perhaps is Edith Kieler involved?
Anyways, if everything goes to fuck-all, I'm going to go to Hollywood and camp on SPOCK'S FRONT LAWN. He's REAL SMART and he'll know exactly what to do! Beaujolais! Y2K! Spock got GAME!

Three Days and 25 Spocktails: A Cautionary Tale
Johnnie Royale picked me up from the dental surgery. I felt warm, safe, cradled in the anathesia's loving embrace. The pharmacy downstairs gave me a bottle of Vicodin and a few instructions: take it with food, don't mix with alcohol, don't operate heavy machinery. I put it in my pocket and we left. "Do you want to go home, or do you want to go to a bar?" asked Johnnie. (More...)
This was an old standby back in my poor college days. Back then the goal was to get butt fucking wasted for as little money as possible. The problem was we hated dirt cheap beer - and some weekends, even Henry's was far more lucre then we could scratch together. So we invented Red. (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...)
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...)
