Matthew St. Amand's new Venture

An old writer chum of mine has recently published a novel: Randham Acts. His last effort, As My Sparks Fly Upward was a very good debut, so this one should be well worth your while. At least check out his Web site, will yuz?

My mama said, to get things done, you better not mess with Major Tom

The lines of a pop song sang so long ago (or was it yesterday?) by David Bowie. Which leads me on, leads me down the proverbial road of metaphorical exegesis...so listen here:

There are worlds within worlds within peach pits and canolis. Absurdism is the refuge of scoundrels. The quantum world is nowhere near reality, but it is the stuff of reality. You are nothing if not waves of energy save solid matter. If you were solid, you'd weigh so much you'd sink to the earth's core, where you'd be melted down to base elements. Or maybe you'd be the singularity that finally blows it all to hell. But who the hell is Major Tom, then: a gollum in the gears?; a manifestation of the grim reaper?; somebody who used to sell Mr. Bowie yummy chocolate ice cream drumsticks?

Regardless! The time is now. And even though time is a ball of wax being chewed on by a termite ... who's choking on the splinters, it's all we've got. And my mind goes back to a girl I met so long ago ... who told me E=MC2 is actually saying that matter not only has the potential to create energy, but it is, in fact, ENERGY ITSELF!

What a waste to end up on the ash heap after so many obscure and tawdry travails. Therefore, Major Tom has opted to hang out in heaven's, putting off the inevitable with zero gravity and junk, thereby hitting the lyrically absolute 'all time low'. Fuck the junk! Fate favors the bold, not the somnambulant. Dig? Get out there and rock and roll the bones.

However, all is hevel. And resistance is futile. So on and so forth ... never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, give up.

VC of Double Occupancy, Daniel Pearlman: Found!

I've had an APB out for this guy for about a week now due to my inability to contact him with his Rhode Island U. e-mail addy. So, I figured I'd send him his $$ and that would get him off the dime. As that Cabaret queer-o Joel Grey used to say, "Money makes the world go 'roun." Here's the gmail he sent me, sans e-mails addys. I'm all about protecting the VC's privacy, yo.


Dear TQR guy,

Thank you for accepting "Double Occupancy" for your summer issue.
Please inform me when the issue appears.

I'm surprised you had a problem sending me an email at &&&&&&&&&&
However, my other email address is

*&#(*&#(#)(%#*%^@%#

Either one should work. Try both. I look forward to getting the
contract. I do, in fact, have on my computer an electronic signature, if needed.

By the way, I'm amazed that you've already paid me. No one usually
does anymore till months after publication.

May TQR long thrive!

Insider Trading Testimonial: Joseph D'Lacey

I got this gmail after interviewing the character of Henry Grantham from the CG The Closer. Thought it was a nice testimonial not only for the IT, but the entire publication.

Theodore,

Interviewing characters from your quarterly showcase is Brilliant. It really adds depth. You're onto something good here and I was glad to be part of it.

My thanks to you and your staff,

José

Paging Vermestus Flump

OK. So a while ago in one of my blogs I went on a tirade about how I'm just typing to the universe, and the universe is mostly empty space and full of nothing but. You know, like nobody and their non-existent mother is even reading this shit. And I get a response from some hillbilly-sounding cracker named Vermestus Flump who says I oughtta just cool down and relax a bit more because he/she is reading my blog and enjoying it, but is just not the 'responding' type most times. Anyhow. After about half a year of no responses, I need some more Flump, dig? Just a voice out there telling me this is not all being done in vain, that someone, any-fucking-one is listening! Oh God before this too-solid flesh melts and I am returned to dust, I pray my words the investors to after lust. Amen.

Reaction!?

Dark Ops, "Dust"y Dispositions

If you are wandering the Free Market district of TQR this quarter and feel a little lost, you are not alone! Owing to a few tweaks and hemlines being taken in, the environs down there have been radically changed.

First off, the Queen's Rump was pulled up by its rotten foundations and plopped down by the river on the "other side of the tracks" so that the oftentimes ribald and inappropriate behavior that passes for normal in there will not be a hindrance to the serious work that goes on in the staid TQR office complex and industrial park. I would personally like to thank the United States Coast Guard for providing the double-prop SeaKing helos (or whatever they were called) that were needed to make this move a reality. After the haul, we settled in for a bit o' the grog and some splendid sea chanty singing. Those Coasties! I will have you know, they can party. My poor post-Coastie liver can attest to that. Anyhow. For you lost souls who are still in desperate need to a road map to the Rump, all you need do now is go to the LOGIN/OUT button on the bottom menu (it's the only button on the bottom menu) and provide yourself with a username and password. Once this bit of business is taken care of, all you need do is sign-in with these two valuable bits of info, and then click on the Free Market, and viola! you are down by the woods and the river and the Rump is there, beckoning with the strong stench of Boligar-- errrr, Bolidust's brain droppings in the air, not to mention a few Bulldust patties and the insufferable vestiges of poison gas lingering on the breeze from the inexorable Ghost of Stable Boy. I would say something like "Relinquish hope, all ye who enter here" but it's really not so bad, and if you went through the trouble of humping it all the way down here to "the other side of the tracks" then you're not just going to turn around and head back to the Safe Houses of the city.

Secondly, this quarter is "dark" in that all portraiture of the characters you have come to know and love will not be on display with any of their posts due to the influx of new staff who I have not been able to procure "faces" for yet. In essence, it is a show of solidarity with Bull and Ray, who have both been given "dust" surnames this quarter so that we may all be reminded of our ultimate destination. Selah. Yes, the old dust-to-dust gambit may not be a pretty actuality for most of us, but actuality it is, and I thought maybe we could all join in the fun with our self-servings and all become 'dust's afterall. Many of you will call me a stark, raving lunatic, and I will not dissabuse of this notion. Let's just hope the VC are not scared away by my madness. You see, it is Haldust3000's ever-staring yellow eye that, I think, has driven me to this... If only I could execute the bugger and bury him/it beneath the floorboards. Argh.

Sincerely, management
Total Quality Dust

4TW by Nita Farmer: more weird submission stuff

Do you think FUK and Nita are related? Anyhow. Strangeness is afoot. The site is acting up (Gabrielle cannot post on the Floor this morning for some confounded reason). Stable boy's legacy is threatening Rump deconstruction. How will it all end? Stay tuned. Meanwhile, here is the aforementioned and unabridged 4TW:

"Just don't forget to give me the order," Tender wheezed. He was all
shame or great honor. Stand to Center for Honor was the way the gulls'
know my opinion of the incomparable Godi Muller?"
of the Visitation!"


Eh? What light from yonder window, tis not.

FUK: Strangest Submission to date

This came down the vacuum tube with a genuinely odd clunk. And it bore no attachment nor bio nor explanation, but only these cryptic words (tis it some kind of poem?).

somewhere around here, then there wouldn't even be a little damp spot left
are a very fast flier, aren't you?"
back. I turned him this way and that, but there was nothing. I looked back
the peak of the Great Mountain Wind. Beyond a few hundred feet, I can lift


Of course, I had to gmail the sender a rejection out of hand informing her that we only accept attached venture yada blah blah.

No repsonse from her yet, but I'm crossing my fingers.

Boligard 3 ... Rorschalk nil

Good thing this is a best out of 537 game series! Otherwise, I'd be worried. So. Here is the script. A bit is shaved off the top due to my raging 2-year-old having attacked my keyboard and booted me out of the metaversal dojo, thus the script was erased from where I was last uncorporeal. Or whatever. Anyhow. It was another humiliating dealio. Thank goodness I only have to go through this another 259-odd times. Btw, I entered the dojo under the guise of 'spasky' (then 'spazky' after my son had booted me from the dojo for a second time) in hopes the name would give me power to open up a can of chesh whupass. Hey, I can dream, can't I?

[20:50 doomey] um
[20:50 doomey] hm
[20:50 Guest_spazky] It's quite touching.
[20:50 Guest_spazky] I think I booted him so often that he's learned how to behave and not get booted finally.
[20:51 Guest_spazky] Don't get all perverty.
[20:51 Guest_spazky] thinking.
[20:51 Guest_spazky] It's actually very sweet.
[20:51 Guest_spazky] No Humbert Humbert here, sir.
[20:51 doomey] he's tired
[20:51 doomey] maybe

[20:55 hautdesert] I figured I"d pop in and say hi.
[20:55 hautdesert] Yeah, I did.
[20:55 hautdesert]
[20:55 Guest_spazky] It's just me and B here trading blows.
[20:55 hautdesert] I was checking out the free market, too, since I hadn't been there a bit.
[20:55 hautdesert] Got kind of...agressive there, huh?
[20:55 Guest_spazky] Cool. I thought I forgot to mail you one.

[20:56 doomey] the boy is toast?
[20:56 doomey] did you burn the barn, theo?
[20:56 Guest_spazky] Anyhow. I gotta move.
[20:56 hautdesert] Though--and I never said this--sb's companion I often find...a bit overboard for my taste. But that's me.
[20:57 hautdesert] So who's winning?
[20:57 Guest_spazky] I believe there is a cabal of murderers gunning for him.
[20:57 hautdesert] This does not surprise me in the least.
[20:57 Guest_spazky] It's kind of hard to tell right now. No blood so far.
[20:57 doomey] ha hah, bulldust is a special sort of character

[21:03 hautdesert] You take what you get.
[21:03 Guest_spazky] Now I've exposed you for the fraud you are!
[21:03 hautdesert] ?
[21:03 Guest_spazky] That was directed at my opponent, not you desert.
[21:04 hautdesert] Ah!
[21:04 hautdesert] I was a bit perplexed...
[21:04 Guest_spazky] WE like to make sport of each other while we kill off each other's army.
[21:04 hautdesert] "How did he discover?" I asked myself.
[21:04 doomey] moi? a fraud?

[21:07 hautdesert] Yeah, I have trouble visualizing.
[21:08 hautdesert] Course, I could set one up beforehand and really be compulsive about it..
[21:08 hautdesert] naah.
[21:08 doomey] yah
[21:08 doomey] too much trouble, me thinks
[21:08 doomey] we need a neon board flashing the moves
[21:08 doomey] that would be cool
[21:08 hautdesert] Yeah.
[21:09 hautdesert] Ooh, yes, that would be excellent.
[21:09 Guest_spazky] my move
[21:09 hautdesert] I wonder if there's software available for something like that?
[21:09 hautdesert] I mean, I know they make online games, I mean something free or codeable.
[21:09 doomey] of course, there must be some way we could do this, but we are not privy to such knowledge
[21:10 Guest_spazky] yeah. I'll set that up tonight, with Bobby Fischer and Boris Yeltsin.
[21:10 Guest_spazky] Yahoo has something like that, don't they?
[21:10 hautdesert] Yeah, they do.
[21:10 doomey] ah yes, bob and boris
[21:10 doomey] that would be sweet
[21:10 hautdesert] I've heard there's popups, even in the middle of chess games.
[21:10 hautdesert] Though I've never tried it.
[21:11 Guest_spazky] Meanwhile, I must move! Keep the pressure on!
[21:11 Guest_spazky] I have to stand and peruse the board from above...
[21:12 hautdesert] You stand on the cieling?

[21:55 hautdesert] Like seti@home.

[21:55 hautdesert] hence the dot.
[21:56 doomey] unclick refresh, darling
[21:56 Guest_spazky] But HD, isn't it true that cancer is an industry. If you find a cure,a bunch of people are unemployed?
[21:56 hautdesert] .
[21:56 doomey] up top, the refresh box
[21:56 doomey] uncheck it
[21:56 hautdesert] Well, people may be unemployed, but it seems a decent tradeoff.
[21:56 doomey] did you try and move Bb3, ted?
[21:57 hautdesert] Besides, there are other jobs helping take care of the people who don't die of cancer, yes?
[21:57 Guest_spazky] No, I think you must click the refresh, not unclick it?
[21:57 doomey] can't move to b3
[21:57 hautdesert] THanks, doomey, I've unclicked--I'll see if that helps.
[21:57 Guest_spazky] yeah, I did? Is that not right?

[22:02 hautdesert] What's up with folding protiens?
[22:02 Guest_spazky] How do you like dem apples, Doomey?
[22:02 doomey] you can't do that, ted!
[22:02 hautdesert] I think it's something to do with seeing how different protiens can be moved around or chaged, see?
[22:02 doomey] only pawns
[22:02 doomey] hah
[22:03 Guest_spazky] En passant the bishop, yo?
[22:03 doomey] only pawns, bra
[22:03 Guest_spazky] Give me that, will yuz?
[22:03 doomey] i see
[22:03 doomey] chaged
[22:03 hautdesert] And this has to do with what kinds of things might hook onto them, how their structured, etc, and hence how they might be rendered ineffective. Capiche?
[22:03 doomey] i dig chage
[22:03 hautdesert] Or something like that, anyway.
[22:03 hautdesert] It's pretty hazy in my mind, actually.

[22:09 Guest_spazky] I'll have you know that not only am I being ground down to a nubbin, I am being ground down to a nubbin and I am sitting here in my underwear.
[22:09 hautdesert] It's fun to do things I have to research--it gives me an excuse to sit down and read and be able to say "I'm not being lazy, I'm working!"
[22:09 doomey] b6xa5
[22:09 hautdesert] Well, that's the only way to be ground down, if you have to be.

The Stable Boy Situation

This young scalawag has gone from straw-behind-the-ears neophyte to a raging Don Rickles wannabe. Though I am want to guffaw at some of his more outlandish insults, proper office deportment behooves me to censure the lout. Oh, and I know that such will only spur him on to even more incendiary heights of approbation, or whatever. But what else can I do? I can't very well 'take out the trash' as Gabrielle DePlancher suggests, can I? The landfill c'est la vie done gangland fashion is not a viable option ... is it? I'll be awaiting your advice in the comments section of this posting. Maybe a knee capping to slow the rascal down, as Boligard suggested somewheres in the Rump.

Zombie Holocaust dress rehearsal postponed due to dearth of cast

Until further notice. Seems Gabby is spending her weekends running naked through the woods or some such. Which is kinda cool to visualize, I think. But that leaves her with no modem jack or anything. Bulldust has calves and cows to contend with this weekend. Raygun is locked into a tet 'a tet with that insufferable whining card sharp Phil Helmuth: Go Raygun! So. This Friday just wasn't in the cards, sts. Get it? ha ha. I'm soooofa king funny. Anyhoot. Here are some gmails to give you a taste of the fall of the House of Zombie Holocaust rehearsal.


Teddy,

With regret but only some, I must advise that it is now unlikely that I will be able to appear as the disheveled Sonia, wife of big Portus, for the dress rehearsal in the dojo Friday nite. You see, I can't help it. It's hot, scorching hot, and on Fridays I have taken to leaving the mainstream and losing myself on the backroads in search of what is here as close to Shangri La as an upright Canadian girl can get. My tipi, my cabin-in-the-wood.

I don't have access to the 'net on weekends unless I stay where I am which, for the next few weeks, I probably will not because it would be foolish.

Is Friday the only time that works for everyone else?

My apologies for throwing the marble into the batter... I was a difficult child.

And this note from the rancid and despicable Stable Boy!

Bulldust will be crushed to hear you are not attending the dojo. but hey, he couldn't go anyway. his little bulls and little cows are in the village for the weekend.

but hey, frenchie chick, you look pretty skanky- I mean "hot" in that beret and tight-fitting skirt. how bout you and I do a little salsa in the straw. [stable boy adjusts his crotch]

I don't know if it's true, frenchie, but I'm hearing from others round this rump that you aint showing up for rehearsal coz you've got the rounds to do on friday night, if you know me meaning. they say your "work" name is graffitied all over that dimly lit corner down the road ... what's that intersection called again ... the one where all those professional ladies hangout at ... umm- oh that's right! that's right [stable boy says with a sneering grin] the intersection's called "Tit and Ass".
yeah, you're excused, frenchie, from the dojo. we don't go for your type round here, unless your handing out freebies that is!

if not, then you may as well go share a table with the other losers over there, the scrawny peck doomey and his ham sandwich buddy, mister landou.

Oye! santino, you slow prick, gimme a milkshake, and stick the straw in your draw this time. I'm going mouth to rim with this one. ANd hey, someone tell me where that wank-off theo is. I'm getting pretty sick of all these idjuts populating this joint. I want something done before I get the bull onto you. So don't mess with me. No one. I know the bull.

I'd not have that little hellion in my production if you paid me! But that is as it is. Stay tuned for the rescheduling of my epic fillum: Zombie Holocaust!
