So sit back and enjoy,  as once again, I share my gift for info file writi ng with the rest of the  world. ps: In this month's info file, you may notice an abundant use of the  phrase "kick ass" in one form or another. This is because I've decided that  other adjectives just aren't descriptive enough. pps: If you can email me  with the number of times I use a form of "kick ass " in this info file, I  will personally arrange for bEdlAM to give you hea d. <- seriously.  news : 1. A few of those serious group-related kind of things happended with mOp this month...which irritates me to an extent, becaus e that means I'll have to write something about them. Yeah, like you really care. Anyways, I'll to be as brief as possible, so I can start  goofing off. This month, we gained some members, but also lost a few.  Blenderhead left us due to complications associated with dual-groupi ng. That's okay though, because we never actually got anything from  him...Easy come, easy go. Another not-so-tragic loss (if you could call it that) was the "departure" of Ambassador Kosh. Actually, his tr ick ass was removed. I wasn't really involved, but from what I'm tol d, joining /´CiD gave him an ego. Anyway, it's a lo ng story, and I don't really think anyone cares about it. In other news, we lost our  beloved ascii divsion this month. This isn't nearly as bad as it sound s though: Basically, I was on the phone with Maestro when we both realized that mOp's entire ascii division (which consisted of me, Turt le, and Mr.Popeil) were all members of Maestro's ascii group, En dow. And since ascii had never been a really *huge* part of mOp, we (af ter talking with Bobtj and Tweed) decided to let the ascii division go. Of course, since Turtle and I both release stuff other than ascii i n the packs, the only true loss was Mr.Popeil. However, since Mr. Pop eil is cool, he's still a member. He'll still hang out with us, it's just that now, he has no applicable talent to offer us. :) Those w ere the only losses this month, so we're still kicking ass, or someth ing like that. 1«. On a more positive note, Maestro joi ned up with mOp this month. This is just another testimony to mOp's coolness. We weren't recruiting or begging or anything, he just joined because mOp is su per-elite & cool. Always remember that. It now appears that we will now kick even more ass than before...however, you're gay. 2. We also gained a pair of non-artist m embers this month. Their names are Bosstone and Skatality, and they're our groupies. Ba sically, their job is, in theory, a lot like Psion's, except we w on't tolerate as much abuse projected towards them. One kid in the 708  AC called Bosstone a "dork" and he was never seen or heard from ag ain. Also, Skatality and Bosstone are always eager to peel the swea t-soaked t-shirt off a mOp artist's back, and savor its musty, ma nly aroma. Bosstone and Skatality are a lot like those skanky teena ge whores who wear too much makeup and hang around backstage with Tesl a, Warrant, and other such hair-bands; so...let's all extend a warm mOp welcome to them, or something, because they're k-RAd , and ELiTE...cool. 3. Saint Sinner has changed his handle t o Misfit. That's why the memberlist says "Misfit" instead of "Saint Sinner. " Duh...cock. 4. Vital Chaos, our intrepid young coder , *narrowly* escaped a serious, tremendous, monumental ass kicking this month by making progress on  mOp's official viewer, JiffyView 2000. I know we promi sed it last  month, but hey, Vital Chaos is really Johnny Cochran, so he can get away with lying a lot. .btw, I confess, *I* killed Nicole. sorry.btw 5. Speaking of Vital Chaos, I think he q uit this month. I'm not really sure though, so... Anyways we're still on good terms wit h him and all that. Actually, I'm almost kind of glad to see him go - whenever I've talked to him on the phone, he's always panting in a way  that makes me feel very uncomfortable...yet curious. 6. Haha, you read infofiles. Then again,  I write them...then again, you read black on black text. I win. 7. We at mOp have passed a new ordinance  that calls for more abuse projected towards our faithful mascot, Psion. So, if you  see him on a board or something, be sure to call him names, flame h im, or threaten his well being. Also, if he has the gaul to req uest an ansi, appropriate discipline ranges from ridicule to outright deletion. Last but not least, if you catch Psion exhibiting any form of  independent thought, we are to be contacted immediately, so that we can promptly deliver to him a severe ass kicking. Remember: We not on ly offer you our *consent* in treating him in cruel and inhumanely, w e're outspoken advocates of psIOn-abUSe. 8. Mike Camp is cool... for a strok e, that is.  acronym o' dA mONth : the official mOp acronym for august comes to us from num ber 28: .. manipulate our papayas ..  psIOn's pICks : Each m onth, Psion, our mascot chooses his favorite things from our pack. This month, he chose: ansi: psion ran off and joined t he rip : circus, or got drafted or perhaps vga : deported or something, so he's not around.  closing notes : Yeah, so, the pack was a bit late this month. :) Thanks for keeping the bitching down to a low roar though, we reall y appreciate it. To be truthful, the fact that our last 3  °°ÜÜÜÜÜ packs have been released near or around the 1st of the  ÜÛ²Û Û ÛÛÛÜ month is purely coincidental. :) By now, you probably  °Þ²ÛßÛÛÛÛÛß²²Ý know that mOp isn't run like any other group around, &  ßÛÛÜÜÜÜÜÛÛß because of this, it's not always easy to get organized..  ßßßßßßß Plus, we're all lazy. Anyway, we'll try to release in 2 or 3 weeks to make up for it or something...yeah right, like that'll ever happen.  next month's pack :   Thanks to my "special" connections and ove rall savvy, I've arranged with the Unabomer to have his 35,000 word manifesto p rinted in next month's infofile. After some coaxing, I convinced him  to choose the the mOp inf0 fIle over Newsweek, Time, Penthouse and  USAToday, so look forward to reading it next month.
