...and the blood oozed from her open
sore, glistening in the light. i wanted
to taste it, run it down my d
ry tongue, suck the life out of
her crimson fluids... she
seemed untouchable, pale white on the dar
k
background of the night sky. her blood
dripped quietly off of my
spoiled blade... it tasted so goo

welcome to the blade october edition of
the edge. in the spirit
of oktober, we're going goth this month. you ma
y even see some angst in
here, too. it's all a part of october's perpetual a
gony. the autumn leaves
are falling and burning, the air is brisk, and
night
falls upon us earlier. october is a wonderful mont
h, and we've
got a wonderful pack to go along wit
h it.

"ow!" edicius screamed as a giant glob
of play-doh nailed him in
the head. - this was the scene at my house one week
ago. belial and edi,
being the idiots they are, decided to start pla
ying
with the play-doh that was out on the table in t
he basement. never
give play-doh to modem warriors. the next t
hing i know, the shit is
flying all over the basement, the lights have gone
off, and there
is a full fledged war going on.
belial, grey hawk, and i complet
ely pummeled poor defensless
edi! ... it wasn't a pretty sight.

sadly, we didn't play any air hockey this month
. so the
screaming wontons standings haven't change
d.

has been seen on irc all month spouting off about

some cheez
y anime flic called "ghost in the

". this snap shot was taken just after the
movie.

the look of disbelief on this his face was

caused by all the nudi
ty in the film.

isn't he so

damn GOTH!?

in late breaking news, it has been
reported that

the line noise that has been plaguing the blade whq
,▓ Death-->

alderaan, for the past month has
been an evil▓ Star   .

plot by meltdown to squelch the

popularity of this almighty

board. his death star
has been spotted

on a direct course for the rebel pla

<-aldera
an   ki

meltdown pilots his
"death star"towards
"alderaan."

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOP!

translation: DIE! DIE! DIE!

after being removed from the group for being
quite

an asshole,

lord_blur (who even KNOWS what his

real handle
was) threatened to blow up the

infamous bladefest '97 fiesta. we look forwa
rd

to seeing him at the bash, where it is rumor
ed some

50 odd peopl
e will attend.

on a completely unrelated note,
belial's hair is
lord_blur  threatens  thirty six feet long.
to bomb blade fest '97

i just got done mowing the lawn with a mower
that
has only one automatically propelled wheel. n
eedless to say, i
was flying around in circles. the damn thing
almost flung me
into a thorn bush. it sucked. hard.

her hair, so black, swayed in t
he chilly breeze, contrasting
the fallen leaves of red
, yellow, and brown.
her lips, so black,
glistened with the saliva from her
blood red tongue. i wanted her. i wan
ted
to taste her. i wanted to kill he
r.

so we were on our way to fun time
america to get in a few games of air hocke
y before
heading back to my house, right... and this fuck
ing cop pulls into
the parking lot after us, turns on his lights, and
pulls all three of us
over. (which would have been pretty hard if we
hadn't
pulled into the parking lot.) he talks to g
rey hawk first.

" you know how fast you were going? "
" uhm.. 55? "
" 60! "
" oooooo "

then he talks to belial.

" you know how fast you were going? "
" uhm.. 55? "
" 60! "

then he talks to me, mindcrime...

" you know how fast you were going? "
" 95, bitch. "
" WHAT!? Step out of the car, son. "

then i pulled out my gat and shot some holes in
him.

(alright, so i'm lying. the story wa
s uneventful without
the embellishment.)

press release! :

blade productions, in it's neverending pursuit
of world
domination, has brought on several new assasins
to it's
deadly arsenal of top secret affiliates.
due to the nature of the tasks at hand,
the names have been changed to
protect the guilty...

... like jackgrymm, a talented maker
of
ansi weaponry, who comes to use from the jungles
of guatamala where
he once helped an old lady pump bullets into an
army bunker.

... like yEDGEy, a curved edge operat
ed of
high-resolution power swords, a deadly new weapo
n in production
by the scientists at blade productions.
he'll be in charge of the
entire power sword division.

... like sky lukewalker, a master of
the spoken
word who can infiltrate any high-security
area merely
by bullshitting his way in.

... like alreb, another member
of
the ansi weaponry team hailing from the deserts
of albania. he specializes
in burrowing under the sand and attacking from
below. we here
he's also good with the ladies.

... like lingunder and zyd,
two members of the highly elite literary
strike force known as operation: goth.
we can't even tell you where
they are from, due to the drastic effects that
could
have on public morality and the water supply.

... like inpalad, once believed a cas
uality of
war, who has returned from the dead to provide "
bitchen tunes" for
our troops.

... and like htot, the official suppl
ier of
all that is sacred to our team of assasins. he'l
l be in charge of
finding all the rarest materials we crave, includi
ng warez, anime, and pron.

these additions to our top secret club h
ave been officially
deemed the oktober assasins. we wish t
hem luck on their current
assignments.

: end press release.

the people who left blade this month were consider
ed to be
enemies of the team and were sumarily killed to
keep their subversive knowledge hidden.

R.I.P - widowmaker, forge.

in other member news, errant angel, d
ue to inactivity, has
been placed in the alumni classification while
grey hawk is
promoted to senior staff to replace the gap.
in virago's absense, due to not havin
g a computer, q takes over
as the head of the lit department. xedgex
, or newest vga member, also
comes in as the new coordinator for that divisi
on. he did it
for mop before, and we know he'll do a good job
with us, as will all
the newly promoted blade members.

and now, a word from q!

to start off this informative section of blade literature,
i'd like to sing an
original rap song...(well, i can't really sing it live, but
this'll have to do)

blade lit iz str8 up sweeticle
wit da' skeelz...so don't competicle
we'z da' phatness-supah bombicle
we don't smoke too much chronicle
da' hommie pimpstahz,
we don't fuck gimpstahz
shakespearian gangstahz writin' it raw
tell us we'z sweet, or shut your jaw!

note: for best results, rap this on a trampoline (in canada
toronto, preferably

well, this is Q, the new lit coordinator for blade.  vi
rago, the last one, did
not have a seizure, and die from a brain spasm...rather
, she passed the positionon due to lack of time and
plain generosity.  she will continue to contribute
though.  my only main concern with being lit coordinato
r for blade is to keep
the quality of lit up and spread it's glory to more min
ds.

if you'd like to apply to blade's lit department or gue
st write, contact Q at:

of death... i want to
