They're good. They whoop a pony's ass with a belt. Baltazer, Deaccesion, Gigglefoxes, Liitn, Mendator, Pfez & Whitesnake joined to do ansi. Also, Wildcat from RCA joined us. Read about the arrivals of new VGA artists in Quisling's long narrative below. Joining as "misc." members, we acquired dedicated groupies Coffee and Winston, here to help cheer us along, and all that crap. Also, Professa Booty will be doing some Telecomm. stuff for us, and Red Reflection will...let's not talk about that right now, ok? So, anyway, gettin new members is cool. Hot-diggity damn, mOP will rule. 2) Oh yeah, and there were some changes in the coodination department. Quisling replaces Catbones as our VGA department coordinator, Pushead is the new ansi head, Bob the Janitor has taken over RIP from Bedlam,  who has been promoted to the prestigious title of general coordinator. 3) We think our bitchin' viewer, jifFyView 2OOO will be done next month.  s t Uf f ... 4) We would like to thank Pharcyde and Arzach for their kick ass guest  appearances this month. Contrary to the belief of some, we didn't  use any "sneaky mOP tactics" to get these guys, they came to us and  asked. Pharcyde of ACiD gave us a magnificent ansi, and Arzach of  Dark did an outstanding mOP promo vga. Yet more proof that mOP is  cooler than your mom. 5) Bedlam would like to announce that he wishes to stop playing "kiddie games" with Radman of ACiD fame. He continues to insist that if Radman really does love him, he should be prepared to go all the way. 5«) Bedlam also stated that he and Radman need to stop all this pointless arguing, especially since it's being construed as a war  between ACiD and mOP, which really isn't so. So from now on he  will abstain from the senseless cheap shots as much as possible.  Too bad most computers couldn't handle the list of all the members that DID  leave ACiD and never came back. It was just too damn long. 6) Thanks to the people at Classic Emag for giving Bedlam and mOP the esteemed "Bitchin' Bandwagon" award for the best reason to  join a group. Although we shouldn't need to give anyone any  reason to join mOP. The fact that we are mOP should be enough. 7) An extra special thanx from Bedlam to lagO on irc for giving him  the files he needed after an unfortunate last minute virus problem  on Bedlam's computer. Without those files, you wouldn't have this  amazing pack in front of you.  q u Is l i Ng  sP e Ak s ... Quisling here, rambling on about how the world ought to be reunited  in one master... oh, wrong file...  mOP '96... After it was decided that CatBones' dedication to ACiD and  the fact that he has a real life would put a little too much pressure  on the poor old guy, he went back to being a regular contributor to  mOP and I was asked to be VGA coord... This month we've added some  absolutely fabulous <*plug* the BBC is paying me MONDO bucks for that  one> Anime style artists, namely Winbee, and CPU. Winbee comes to us  from fire, and CPU is his friend whom he actually met at a convention;   pretty neat huh? Blandest is another new member who left decades to  release with us. He's got a really nice style that varies from old  school (Heathcliff style) cartoon, to elite anime. As for what I've  contributed to the pack; as many of you know I'm a photographer and   have been for about 4 years now. My VGAs consist of scanned photos  which are then manipulated via photoshop. Basically if you don't   like it or don't think it should be in the scene [you should moisten  my buttocks with your lips -editors] I suppose that's just about all..   Oh, just a personal side note, if you ask me for graphics for your  webpage and such, just note that i work 8-5/M-F doing graphics and  webdesign, have been comissioned to do work for other webpages, am  a photographer, and work for a magazine on occasion while still  trying to make time to go out with Danielle (qs-mOP1.jpg). So if I don't get around to it, [go out and get a life like Quisling here.] Alright, enough rambling about the shit... Quisling mOP - VGA co Elite Photo Nut Webmaster (that just sounds cool...)  is there anything you'd like to say in the infofile about  your feelings about mOP now or about not being the VGA coord any  longer?  no way! just tell them i'm sad.  m iS c el l a nE o Us  s Tu f f Z ... mOP acronym o' dA month: "more orb please" - Tweed  quotes 0' dA mONth:  this month we've decided that us mOP guys just say too damn many cool things to pick one for the pack. so from now on this section will contain lots of good quotes from the last month.  "What's happening now, NIGGAH?!" - tweed, while discussing old tv shows. bedlam: She's not in a great mood, she just found out her mOm went blind  and doesn't know if its permanent.  tweed: That sucks.  bedlam: Yeah, so she's not really in the mood to screw around, you know?  tweed: Why not?  bedlam: Would you be in the mood if your mom just went blind?  tweed: You're gonna go blind if you don't get with her soon.  "If i wanted head from anyone it would be CatBones." - coffee discussing  his sexual preferences.  bobtj: mOP needs an official line of products. And frisbees need to be  included in said product line. Well, laundry detergent is almost  implied. Condoms are implied too (because mOP guys get all the  sex).  coffee: do they make condoms big enough though? that's the real setback.  intensity: illinois has the best of everything. toez: too bad you were born there.. threw things off track.   tweed: what do you need a penis for anyways? surreal logic: ask yourself that question three times fast. tweed: what do you need a penis for anyways? tweed: what do you need a penis for anyways? tweed: what do you need a penis for anyways? tweed: i don't have a penis. I have a phat dick. <-- hE dUz! I SeEn iT!  i n t E R V i e w !!ÞstARtݰ²±° This month, we're proud to bring you a unique, in-depth interview with our own bedlam of mOP.(conducted by #28 on 6/23/96) <bedlam> okay, i'm ready if you are.  <_28> Quit your flirting, queer ass. We're not here for netsex, I just told you that so you'd join the channel and I could interview you for our infofile. <bedlam> okay, fine. but could you at least tell me what you're wearing? <_28> None of your business, homo. 1st question: How did you end up in mOP? <bedlam> well, i got my start about a year or two ago in this suck-ass local group called Stab, hung with them for a while, and eventually joined this group called "ACiD"...it was pretty gay, but radman (the founder) promised me that if i joined, i could dip into his private library of hardcore hi-rez koala porn whenever i wanted. But around spring of 1995, i heard of this new local group called "mOP." Of course, it was really cool, and i applied. It took a while before i heard from anyone about being accepted, but a few weeks later, word got to me that Bob The Janitor, Tweed and you took pity on my sorry, talentless ass and let me in. i was thrilled, of course. the rest history! <_28> What an uninteresting story. I wish you'd just gotten to the point without delving into the details of your boring and pathetic life. Anyway,next question: What is it that makes mOP so great? <bedlam> i'd have to say, for the most part, you. never before have i seen such a talented, gifted, and swell individual. merely viewing one of his many excellent ansis or rips is a religious and spiritual experience in itself. <_28> Well, obviously. But besides that though. What about the mOP's off-beat and wacky approach to the "scene"? <bedlam> yeah, that's good too. it's hard for me to comment on that though, because i lack any sense of humor. i just go along with what people tell me to do, and makes things less fun for everyone. You might say I'm an outcast. in fact, you have, many times... <_28> Right. Anyway, how do you feel about the way you're treated by other mOP members, especially the staff? Anyone can plainly see an elevated level of genuine malice if not outright hatred towards you. Why do you put up with that kind of abuse? <bedlam> I put up with it, because at least over the computer, i can't be physically assaulted, like at home. i have a really messed up family life; and when i'm not duct-taped to the swivel chair forced to give oral sex to my dad and his friends, i'm usually getting taunted by my abusive, alcolholic step-mom. <_28> Too bad..anyway, I'm sick of dealing with you, so, bye.  i n t E R V i e w !!ÞdOneݰ²±°  c o n s P I R a c y !!ÞstARtݰ²±°  Also this month, an interesting conversation took place between  Rainmaker (the mOP assassin), Bedlam (the mOP general coordinator),  Mr. Happy (who is thought to be Visigoth of ACiD in disguise), and  a couple of bystanders who had one or two little things of note to  add. Decide for yourself exactly what the truth is. <Rainmaker> I think icto is really just cat's alter-ego.. <mrhappy> he is, he's cats friend or something, hehe sounds fishy eh? <bedlam> rain: they ARE like, best friends. <Rainmaker> bedlam: exactly how good friends.. like same person good friends? <mrhappy> he's the poor guy cat has chained in his basement :> <mrhappy> naww... just probably likes cat's style a lot <Rainmaker> I bet you've never seen icto and cat in the same place. <Rainmaker> and look if you rearrange icto, take out the i and the o, and an A... then it spells.. CAT! <bedlam> no icto is NOT catbones =) if he were, "catbones" would quit mOP and stay in acid, and "icto" would stay in mop. <Rainmaker> bedlam: maybe he just wants you to believe that.. <Rainmaker> maybe ICTO was the second gunman.. <Rainmaker> or the second spitter, if you're a seinfeld fan. <Rainmaker> but for all we know, ICTO is really just CAT's.. hmm, Mr. Hyde, if you will. <mrhappy> cat's left hand? <mrhappy> if he draws right handed, it's cat, and left handed, it's icto? <Rainmaker> maybe cat drank a VGA potion once, and he grew a second head, and   named it ICTO <Rainmaker> cause ICTo backwards is OTCI.. and we all know OCTI means 2 in Ancient Greek  rain: ictos name is vICTOr <Rainmaker> jae: that's what they'd have you believe. <Rainmaker> jae: but I suggest you look deaper.. <Rainmaker> behind the "facts" <mrhappy> and two is the number of letters cat has in his first name, minus   one, also! <Rainmaker> 2 is also the amount of first and last names cat has.. <bedlam> hmm.. you know, i've never talked to icto. <mrhappy> and it's the number of eyes, testicles, nostrils, ears, and other body parts cat has!! my god!! <Rainmaker> ICTO DOES NOT EXIST <bedlam> he's supposedly moved away, left no art behind, and we have no way to  get in touch with him except through Cat. <bedlam> yet icto keeps coming up with more and more art. <bedlam> hmmmm. <Rainmaker> if you look closely, ICTO is also a part of the word FICTION.. <Rainmaker> maybe it's not VICTOR after all.  bed: icto moved away? <Rainmaker> I think this case is pretty much solved. <mrhappy> yes! <bedlam> jae: to las vegas i think. <bedlam> i think rainmaker is on the right track.. <mrhappy> yes, and cat added bones to his handle, just like icto's bones in his basement! <bedlam> aha! <Rainmaker> Icto is really Cat's second head, grown after Cat drank a special VGVGA drawing potion. And now Icto is chained to the computer in Cat's   while cat can prounce on his merry way. <bedlam> catbones DID put the bones on, just after "icto" entered the scene.. <Rainmaker> hmm.. very suspicious.. <mrhappy> in a guilt ridden need to admit his wrongdoing, he tacked the bones on. <bedlam> my only question is why would cat AND icto both be in mOP, when he knows his dual grouping is causing problems? why not have "cat" quit and leave "icto" in? <Rainmaker> but what does the word BONES really mean? In ancient Swahili, it  means "Icto Is my Second Head, not attached to my body".. <Rainmaker> cause cat really hates acid, and it's his way of fighting back. <bedlam> rain: aha.. <mrhappy> because cat, as well as icto have a deep seated dislike of radman,  who crippled icto in a car accident, and cat found him out on an abandonded  stretch of road, near his house. <bedlam> and taking this so called ICTO out of acid to piss radman off even more.. <Rainmaker> Think about it. What would piss Radman off more? Cat staying in the group, or Cat leaving? <Rainmaker> Obviously Cat staying. <bedlam> yeah. <mrhappy> yes, cat hobbled icto, to keep him at his house, but they both hate  radman, for different reasons <bedlam> but icto is dead! <mrhappy> icto died as a result of internal bleeding from the hobbling <bedlam> aha <bedlam> yes, and that would leave plenty of BONES behind.. from the legs.. <Rainmaker> I GOT IT <Rainmaker> ICTO IS REALLY RADMAN! <bedlam> now, we must figure out how the Doobateria fits into all this.. <mrhappy> now ictos ghost haunts teleconferences as a lurker, and plays loud  music <Rainmaker> AND RADMAN IS REALLY CAT'S SECOND HEAD! <bedlam> icto's ghost tones all the fucking confs@#&%)@# <mrhappy> haha <Rainmaker> THERE WERE REPORTS OF RADMAN WEARING A LARGE CAPE AROUND EVERYTHING  BUT HIS HEAD AT NAID.. <mrhappy> it's even more devious, and an even darker part of this mystery <mrhappy> icto is also cat's gay lover! <mrhappy> he and icto's ghost have sex while maniaccally toning teleconference <Rainmaker> mrhappy: that means he has sex with his own genitalia.. eww... must be like rubber.. and pretty darn long too.. <bedlam> well he IS in mOP, so that would explain the enormous size of his... <Rainmaker> haha <bedlam> cat DOES have a fascination with bones in his pics! i think they're airbrushed copies of pics of icto's remains, after he has sex with them! <mrhappy> yes <mrhappy> he uses the holes in icto's pelvis as cockring, just like in one of  his vga pictures he showed the pelvis bone <Rainmaker> I heard that Visigoth skullfucked Icto to death, and then covered it up with Cat while they were in ACiD.. <mrhappy> please, we must hide my, err, visigoths involvement with this! <mrhappy> ASTOUNDING EVIDENCE of cats sexual perversion and devious criminal mentality! <bedlam> so when cat says hes going "to smoke my breakfast doobie" he MUST be  using code for "going to the basement and fucking icto's remains!!!" <bedlam> so the doobateria is really his killing room in his basement! <mrhappy> yes! he can't get the pelvis off of him, and is developing ganggrene, thus he smokes doobs to ease the pain <bedlam> aha.. <bedlam> it all makes sense now <mrhappy> so he smokes doobs while screwing icto's remains with his gangrenous penis. <Rainmaker> so we've solved it? <Rainmaker> to sum things up. <Rainmaker> Cat drank a VGA potion, and grew a second head, ICTO (aka Radman).. and then Visigoth Skull-Fucked it to death.. he and cat covered it up, while cat drew VGA's under Icto's name so no one would notice he was gone.. <bedlam> of COURSE! <Rainmaker> BY GEORGE I THINK I'VE GOT IT <mrhappy> noone should know I, err, he committed such a perverse crime, it would destroy his great reputation! <mrhappy> :> <mrhappy> hahaha <bedlam> we must not let visigoth's reputation be sullied by such accusations <Rainmaker> visigoth is an upstanding member of society.  bedlam: Nice words! <Rainmaker> but HE SKULL-FUCKED ICTO TO DEATH <bedlam> rain: but we MUST find a way to remove his presence from this terrible  tradjedy that IS the catbones/icto/radman head fusion. <Rainmaker> and if anyone sees visigoth, tell someone the police will find him sooner or later. <Rainmaker> bedlam: no, the TRUTH must come out. <bedlam> hmm.. <mrhappy> I think just like oj simpson, visigoth will weather the scandal quite nicely! <bedlam> but the more i think about it, visigoth's head DOES look bony.. like a SKULL.. maybe vis is cat's THIRD head! <mrhappy> cat, however, might be forced to give up doobs! <mrhappy> a punishment worse than death <Rainmaker> bedlam: y'think? that is very interestking.. <Rainmaker> that must be why he wouldn't go personally to NAID <bedlam> aha! and cat wasn't there either! <bedlam> cat and visigoth, two "close scene friends," and two of the better  artists, and NEITHER could go to naid? i guess we'll never fully understand the mystery. <Rainmaker> we will never rest! although the truth may still illude us, someday it'll all come out.  c o n s P I R a c y !!ÞdOneݰ²±° ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Û*ÛÛ*ÛÛ*ÛÛÛ*ÛÛùÛÛÛÛú°°ßß°ÜÜÜÛÛÛ °²²ßß ÜÜÜÛÛ²²ßß ÜÜÛÛÛ±ßß ÜܲÛÛÛÛ²ß °ÜܲÛÛß ÜÜÛ °°*°Û*ÛÛù úÛ²ßßßß ÜÜÜܲßÛÛ°²ßßßßÜÜÜÜÛÛÛ²ßßß ÜÜÛÛܲßßþ ÜÜÛÛÛÛ²ßß Ü°ÛÛ²ß ÜÜÛÛÛß °ßßßßþ°ÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛßßßß ÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛßßß ÜÜÜÛÛÛÛ²ßß °ÜÜÛÛÛÛ²ßß °ÜÜÛÛ²ßß ÜÜÛÛÛßß  Üܲ±°°°°°°Û°²ßßßß ÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ²ßßß ÜÜܰ°ÛÛßßß ÜÜÜÜÛÛÛ²ßßß ÜÜܰÛÛ²ß °ÜÜÛ²ÜÛßß °Üܰ ²²±Üßßß ÜÜÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÜÛ²ßßßß ÜÜܰ°°°Üßßß°ÜÜÜÜÛÛÛÛßßß ÜÜܰ°°°ßßß ÜÜÜÛÛ²²ßß Üܰ°°Ûßß ----------------------------------------------------------------------------#28 °°ÜÜÜÜÜ mOp's sALute to the 4th 0f jUly!
