but first we ll start with the blade info file contest-o-ansi-o-the-stars-o the first person (or thing) to tell us what the hell this is gets to have edicius draw them an ansi of a cupcake oh this has been one silly month over here at the blade western hotdog shop mindcrime got his nose pierced and posed with mr beaver just before going for a ride on the happy-bus i got my license this month and as our beloved ole buddy kiwi said better stay off the sidewalks hell stay off your lawn! so there i was man on top of the wave and there was no where left to go but down! then all of the sudden there i was i was flyin man i thought i was dead going home to davey jonas locker just then man i came back up gasping for ki air still on my board! i beat the sea man i beat it! and then mindcrime did the macerena with alternateens at the bowling alley! who said there was no such thing as peer pressure You should have seen grey hawk bow down to the might of the combined peer pressure of edicius mindcrime and myself and draw an ansi not only one ansi though we got grey hawk to draw us quite a few of them! then grey hawk wouldn t let me drive his car! jerk! so then we challenged him to a drag-race in mindcrime s car i still haven t been able to figure out how he beat me all i can do is blame it on mindcrime s car but since grey hawk and i have the same car i guess it s cool that i know that i can beat mindcrime in a race! or as our ex-buddy and most excellent ansi scene trend setting friend chromatik would say the sun smiles down on the fields of the lord edicius shaved! we all thought that it was a different person but as soon as he started telling us a story we knew it was him ki is that weed ! introducing the official blade air-hockey team the screaming wontons including air hockey puck 1 belial 2 grey hawk 3 dimes 4 mindcrime 5 edicius 6 lucifer if your petty little cheese-filled ansi group is monkey enough come play us! i challenge you to a duel! you can find us at either fun time america in cliffwood beach nj or at the bowling alley (does that place even have a name ) in hazlet nj say you re looking for the screaming wontons and their pet pimp quafajawahlahikee new blade contest what s that say up there on a lighter note lucifer only weighs 80 pounds did you ever hear a song and like it yeah me too blade makes the news! in our first step towards world domination tm blade attacked iraq by dropping some bombs on their doorstep kiwi was seen running from the scene wearing a funky cyan turban on a related issue dimes blade s official hard drive hurler scored a perfect 10 and captured blade s first ever GOLD medal however later that day dimes also decided to join the decathalon after finishing dead last and utterly humiliating himself dimes had his GOLD medal stripped from him and was then laughed out of the olympics later that night the blade staff got revenge blade launches their and blew up the evil plot for world olympics and took dimes domination medal back for him! way to go dimes! no greetz ! belial s leaving the scene letter by belial i m fed up! i m leaving the scene you re all a bunch of hog-wild gluttonous pigs with no hearts whatsoever! you re all probably communists too! i have a life! i just don t sit in front of my computer all day and talk on irc! i have like 20 girlfriends and i m so busy getting sex that i don t have time to draw ansi! when i m not banging my girlfriend i m smoking weed! i have an 18 foot bong me and my friends get inside of it! i have to leave the scene i just don t have the time anymore i ve really been busy and now that college is coming up it s just not going to work anymore i have to get a job and pay for my apartment my car and everything else i just don t have the time anymore -- belial (gone from the scene forever!) also leaving blade this month is kuma who was captured by a group of militant monkeys and taken to their secret island deep in the middle of the great lake eerie after a brief run-in with the local government kuma escaped the island by becoming a chef and feeding the locals (who were all banned from the local boards because they aren t ld) a meal of liverworst spiked with ellisdee knocking out all of monkeys upon returning to the safety of his home kuma left once again for the hills of columbia where he joined the priesthood and walks around with his trusty goat is dr kevorkian who finally bought his freedom and decided that he was going west to europe is sodium who joined a local militia however after getting hit with a brick by co-militia member lord jazz sodium decided to search for the fabled fountain of youth tm and the man said add the funk ! why don t they make an irc channel called #ansiwarez wouldn t that solve so many problems! on a personal note i d like to welcome each and every one of the new blade members like widowmaker who was taught in the finest russian ansi schools like risu who proved that beavers actually can talk! like pariah the ex-president of a small island nation in new england like exar kun who s heading the american gigolo movement in saudi arabia like the natural who s still paying off some baseball park in the breadbasket for fucking shit up tm like brain eater who eats brains and having the hair shaped into a round bushy mass like q who s taking time off from star trek to give us his omnipresent ascii powers like tourian who s taking time off from an avid fly-fishing schedule to help drowning children like zempf who decided that it was too cold hiking in the himayalas and would rather be sell fruit on highway 69 in roswell new mexico like GREY HAWK who was given back to earth by a group of angsty aliens complaining that he never did anything and would rather listen to orbital than actually orbit anything! i hope you all enjoy your stay with blade and if you ever move to 908 nj you can even hang out with mindcrime edicius grey hawk and myself! hell sometimes you can even hang out with soul seeker lucifer eggy dimes and us! all in all 908 addds up to some very 31337 times maybe one day thinking edicius and i will get together and jot down some of the shit that happens to us! like when the guy at the wawa told mindcrime he dropped his rock or when grey hawk got beaned in the head with my air-hockey mallet anyway this has been one hell of a month for blade i d like to congratulate everyone on a job WELL done especially kiwi for one most awesome ansi!
