December News Cthul
u
Thie is Cth
ulu here... geez, the
holiday season is busy..
. hence the..
hm.
well, I guess this
pack is actually LARGER
than the other ones.
Thats
odd. Oh, yes.
I remember. And
this guy is in ch
arge of the whole
group! The
reason that
this pack is so
big, is because
weve included two .MODs
from our
upcoming musi
c disk, The Bells
of Yule, in it. B
e sure to listen
to em...
Itll feature
talent from MiST,
and lots of outside
talent too.
Well, that
explains the size
of the pack. There
are fewer ANSIs and
such
this month, because,
well, its christmas,
and we unchain our
artists and let
them
go walkies outside,
because were in such
a festive mood. But
dont be
fooled! As
soon as january
comes, back on go
the shackles! Get to
work, SLAVE! And stop
your filthy whining! cracks
whip... However, because it
is the
holiday season,
we feature three...
well... special things this
month. One is
the collaborative ANSI, on
a winter/holiday theme,
done by Nitnatsnoc, Mavr
ik,
Mage, and Questor.
Another one is the
collaborative Lit, on th
e holiday theme.
Finally,
in the spirit of
sharing, we worked
with Sonic Equinox members
well,
actually we
ARE almost all the
Sonic Equinox members...
to bring to you a
lil Christmas loader, to
show you that we car
e. Awwwww...
Also this
month, we have,
well, Kithe, for which
this article was
submi
tted too late... what?
deadlines? ... and itl
l play the .MODs
RIGHT
this month... we
had a problem last
month because I SAUCEd
the .MODs when
I shouldnt have, and,
well, bad things happene
d. 8 But that sh
ould all be
fixed
now. Also be sure
to check out the
ANSI wars article to
find out what
we
*really* spend all the
time between packs doing
. And why theyre
always
late...
On tha
t note... we now p
resent... dum da da
dum dum DAAA! the
MiSTiGRiS
FAQ! Yes, we
will answer the most
frequently asked questions
to mist members... Here
goes...
Q: Why do
you guys always
release late?
A: As
we have no set
deadlines, theres no such
thimg as a late
pack. We
just,
around the 20th, get
all antsy to release
something, and start
spasm
odically twitching until we
do... so twitch
twitch... ergh... the
med
ication is wearing off...
twitch twitch... Well.
Expect a pack from
us
around every 5
weeks or so.
Q:
Why do you have s
o much lit?
A:
Next question... I could
and have filled whole
articles about this.
If
youve already read
those, youre bored
enough already. If you
havent, go do
so.
Then send me all
your money, as youve
just proved that you
have no self-
control
or willpower. Then
dance naked in a
vat of salty mustard.
Take
pictures of it.
Scan them, and u
pload them to TST,
and well be sure
to include the pics in
the next KiTHE. Dont fo
rget to keep the negatives,
though.
A-hem.

TEMPORALLY DISPLACED
MEMBERS:
We regret to
say that Magik E
lvis and Toxic Cockroach
have been forcefully
e
jected from under the
MiST wing for inactivity.
Pity.
XMAS:
Well,
with all the plas
tic and glitz and
chintz and kitsch mustnt
forget the
kitsch
floating around this time
of year, it help
s to keep in mind
the true
reason
for this holiday season.
But while he thoug
ht on these things
behold the Angel of
the Lord appeared
to
him in his sleep,
saying: Joseph, son of
David, fear not to
take unto thee
Mary
thy wife, for tha
t which is conceived
in her, is of the
Holy Ghost.
And
she shall bring forth
a son: and thou s
halt call his name
Jesus. For he
shall
save his people from
their sins.
Now all
this was done tha
t it might be ful
filled which the Lord
spoke by the
prophet,
saying:
Behold a
virgin shall be with
child, and bring forth
a son, and they
shall
call his
name Emmanuel, which being
interpreted is, God
with us.
St. Matthew
1:20 through 1:23
There, that aughta keep
Ranma and Innate
Malice satisfied...
CHRISTIANITY:
Dont be offended
by all our christian
references. Ill bet non
e of us are
pra
ctising, anyhoo. I tend
towards Taoistic tendencies,
myself.
On that not
e, Merry Christmas, Happy
Hannuka, Gung Hay
Fat Choy, Happy New
Years, Gleeful Solstice,
Joyful Shoe-shinine, or what
ever.
MiST says: Good
will to all arti
sts and the rest
can burn in FIDONet!
