 |:    :|
 |:  welcome to polyester. the number one group that was ranked last.:|
 |: :|
 |:where was polyester born? no, it wasn't born in a disco factory like:|
 |: most polyesters are; in fact, it was born right in our own minds. ya:|
 |: may be thinking "how do you get a sewing machine in your head?";  if   :|
 |; that thought crossed through your mind, please exit this file. youre   :|
 |: apparently impressively intelligent. polyester was formed by my best   :|
 |: IRC friends. driftwood (who has nothing to do with this group,  but    :|
 |: he will, once he gets his computer back from his dad. silent bob, a    :|
 |; very good friend of driftwood (real life friends); and drseuss, who ;|
 |;currently is working on his ansi skills.  ;|
 |;;|
 |;any of you like to keep a scrap book? good. printscreen this; it'll ;|
 |;be very important information that you cannot be without.;|
 |;;|
 |;polyester's birthdate: november 02, 1996. (we're a month old!);|
 |;weight - 25 members (max);|
 |:height - growing at a rapid rate;|
 |:eye color - WHAT ELSE!!@ the disco color of all time! sunshine yello;|
 |::|
 |:polyester has come a VERY long way, since those first nights. poly :|
 |;would cry every minute we left him. hell, now he is ready for the:|
 |:world. the ansi scene will know him as polyester.       :|

 |;Polyester's Member Agreement; (Statement I-IV):|
 |;:|
 |; All members are required to keep their dual grouping to a minimum if:|
 |;any dual grouping transpires at all. Dual grouping hurts the scene in;|
 |;the following manners; a) lessens the work quality, due to rushing to;|
 |;finish work for numerous groups, b) being in many groups can create a;|
 |;reputation that you are not ready for, it may cause you to slack off,;|
 |;because you think that you can handle it all,  c) dual grouping shows;|
 |;disloyalty to the groups that you get/join into.;|
 |;;|
 |; We, at Polyester, require you to  participate in at least fifty per-;|
 |;cent of our group meetings. Group meetings are held every Friday eve-;|
 |;nings from 7:00pm EST (4:00pm PST)  until  11:00pm EST  (8:00pm PST).;|
 |:Attendance checks will be taken at each meeting, and you will be log-;|
 |:ged as missing, if you do not show up. If you do not participate with:|
 |:at least two (2) meetings a month, you will be dropped from the group:|
 |:due to failure to support Polyester. If you have made other plans for;|
 |;one of these nights, you may contact myself, at poo@cris.com;|
 |: ;|
 |: Upon joining Polyester, two things must happen. You must be able to;|
 |:show at least five (5) pieces of work to the division  head  of  the ;|
 |;department you are joining.  (note; applications cannot be processed;|
 |;through email. You must be able to logon to the IRC to join.;|

 |;   Ansi  division head; hellfire;|
 |;   VGA   division head; wiz;|
 |;Lit   division head; acolyte   ;|
 |:   ;|
 |:   After applying, you will be put into the referral service, and you'll;|
 |:   be voted in by the senior members.;|
 |;   ;|
 |;    Upon joining the group, you are met with these  requirements. If  you  ;|
 |;   cannot meet or exceed these goals, you will  be  asked  to  leave  the  ;|
 |;   group; a) 5 logos per one (1) month time span.  You  will  place these  ;|
 |;   logos into one file, named xx_mmyy.ans; The XX represents  your  nick-  ;|
 |;   name's two letter abbreviation. The MM represents the month(in numbers) ;|
 |;   and the YY represents the last two digits of the currrent year.;|

 |;   like to do a mixmatch, you can do the following; 3 logos, 1 picture.;|

 |;now that tk quieted down with the rules, lets have some fun people!@#$  ;|
 |;   ok...ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for, the  ;|
 |;   release of the december ninety six pack, polyester's first ever. with-;|
 |;   out a doubt, i was asked to do the newsletter.   heck, i suck at news-;|
 |;   letters but i wasn't about to turn down a ss'er.  so i'll be your host;|
 |;   for today.;|
 |;;|
 |; @#$%  half of the ansi/ascii scene is 90% putting a group together  %$#@! ;|
 |;;|
 |; i'm pleased to discuss the creation of polyester to all of you bright,;|
 |;   inquiring minds that wonder where such talent came from.  ("out ofthe  ;|
 |;   land of disappearing left socks, of course..bwahaha!" -quote from that;|
 |;   voice inside our minds) anyway, polyester essentially was created thr-  ;|
 |;   ough the efforts to make a group that will last the test of time & cr-;|
 |;   itisism.  we have a member limit after noticing groups that get to big  ;|
 |;   for themselves failed.  that's all i have to say about that.;|
 |;;|
 |; !@#$%  world needs the equivelent of candy thermometers these days  %$#@! ;|
 |;;|
 |;"I could go on and on like some bullweavel sittin' on a stump, bragging  ;|
 |;  to a dog in heat, but i'd like to hear what you have to say"-mike judge;|
 |;  yes, its may sound strange, being such a kEwl k-rAD eLiTe group, but we;|
 |;  like compliments..uh i mean comments.ok..we'd like them on this month's ;|
 |;  pack.  we need to know what can be better.(i know that will really take  ;|
 |;  awhile to think of) if you do see something or want to tell us how good;|
 |;  it was, go to #polyester(efnet) or www.cris.com/~Lobe/poly and complete;|
 |;  the html form.;|
 |;;|
 |; !@#$% seventy-seven percent of all statistics are completely false! %$#@! ;|
 |;;|
 |;during the creation of this newsletter, twenty-four innocent bystanders  ;|
 |;  lost their lives while disturbing me & tk at the keyboard. sixteen per- ;|
 |;  cent of my cd's are permenently engraved into the wall after being used  ;|
 |;  as discuses to throw at a picture of elmer fudd.  (i'm aware that that, ;|
 |;  low, cruel, and undeserved, was mean. i love it) four cd-rom drives got  ;|
 |;  snapped off after using them as a cup holder for coffee mugs while wor- ;|
 |;  king late night (2am!) on this newsletter. finally, and most traumatic,  ;|
 |;  mi kehbord bearly wercks after gnawing at its cord during those intense;|
 |;  moments.;|
