There's just some t hings that a group president  really has to do himself. So, without further lameness , I present to you the ramblings of Cappacino and Edicius, the idiots of the month. ("lenny dykstra ain't got nuffin' on us!") ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ ÄÄÄ ÄÄ Ä ù ú ok, so mindcrime and cappacino  fell asleep on mindcrime's floor,  so i'm going all nutty with this info file . . yeah, boyee!!!!  i was listening to this daft punk album,  and it's really good. and then   the batteries in cappacino's cd p layer ran out. now i'm sitting on   this computer in silence, except for t he tapping of the keyboard  and the hum of mindcrime's air condit ioner .. it's really cold. i wish  i had some extra batteries. (extra batteries t hat, by the way, were sitting comfortably in cappacino's bag  --smart Edi... pure stealth.)  in news completely devoid of useful inform ation, the screaming   wontons is really inactive. i mean, we sti ll play together. but the   organization of the league is all  gone. belial hasn't written a   newsletter in a few months. but, rest assured , edicius is still number  one in the standings!  ok modem wa rrior, you're probably getting  pretty bored right now .. but, i will bring back the humor somewhere in this  file.   so i'm driving in the car with mi ndcrime today .. and he says, "i'm going to  see veruca salt when they come aroun d here because those girls are pretty  hot. i bet i can find some young alternaslut s at the show, too!"   sicko!!!! (editor's note: edicius like to personify himsel f as other people. he's actually the "mindcrime" in the above pass age.)  edicius  got a parking ticket in the   lovely town of keansburg, nj . he was at a punk rock show, and some meter   maid-wannabe rent-a-cop gave him a ticket. can you believe that?  (the blade nation traced down the cop and beat the  living snot out of him with a sausage. once he started screaming like a girl and calling for his  mom did we realize that the meter maid was none  other then our friend napalm.) rumors that i'm making up right now:  belial got hit by a car. but, because  he's so buff, he dented the car.   just like a moose or a deer. go belial !   dimes fell asleep at the wheel a nd did a 180 across the garden   state parkway into a crowd of nuns who were w aiting for a bus to   philadelphia so that they could .. man, i wish i was witty so i   could put something funny right here.  actually, if i was funny, i'd put something right  here.     actually, this whole thing woul d have been funny!  * edi has no dope skills. mindcrime gets all the girls because he's the new lead singer of genesis .  UPDATE: last month, the blade nation  claimed that we had aquired  and killed the spice girls. actually,  we killed them all except for   that blonde one. she's in edicius' h ouse, and gives him massive amounts  of crack and head. (mindcrime and cappacino kidnapped the black one from edicius and took her out to d inner, capp's treat, 'cuz she's kinda stealth and she's cute too.) aww, play that dope diggity rhyme. ("that's your what-stick??")ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ ÄÄÄ ÄÄ Ä ù ú   "My fuck-stick." Mindcrime replied la zily from the easy rocking of his  waterbed.  "Err, yeah? well, um. what do you do with it?" Edicius returned, still   puzzled.  "HE doesn't do anything with it." Cappacino spat for th, not looking at all  in Edi's direction, deeply into some lit-like crap he was writing for The Edge.  "Well," Edi said, feelings hurt from lack of attenti on, "What does IT do?"  "It fucks... dumbass." belial said from his not-so-c omfortable position on  the workout bench.  Edi, still feeling as though he missed something in the past few days (he   did), began to ask again, "erm, what?"  Cappacino stood from the computer, but not before pr essing Ctrl-S and turning the monitor off, turned to wards Edi and said, "Come on, let's go. And don't  forget the fuck-stick."  Edi stood, and then bent over to pick up the famed f uck-stick, and proceeded  to follow Cappa to the answer he sought. He could hear  Belial saying to Mind-  crime before leaving, "uhuhuhu, he's gonna show him ho w the fuck-stick works."  So Cappa and Edi went downstairs and out the front d oor to Cappa's brand   spanking new (old) Buick Skylark (Skywalker). They hop ped in, and Cappa took  Edi to a place he knew there would be some cuties to t ry out the new wicked  invention brought into existence by the BlackOps Intel ligence Division, known  to you mortals by the common name of 7-eleven.  Cappacino, upon entering the famed 7-eleven, pointed  out a fine, young cutie hoochie to beta-test the F S-2601 (it's model name) on, and motioned for Ediciu s to hand him the almighty contraption.  Capp pointed the stick at her, and said, "excuse me baby, I can't help but  notice your pain, share it with me..." and then he hit  the little button on the bottom, causing it to flar e out bright colors of all shades and hues at the  girl. Upon contact with the lights from the FS-2601, t he girl fell softly to the ground and began havin g an orgasm, completely by herself!  To say the least Edicius was amazed, and when Capp w as finished with his astonishing demo, Edi want ed immediately to go back to Mindcrime's house and  try it out on Mindcrime's sister (trouble.), which  would've caused problems.  Edi said to Cappacino, "Woah." Cappacino said to Edi, "Pure stealth, right?"  Edi said BACK to Cappacino, "WOAH," now coming into full realization of what  he just witnessed.  Cappacino laughed and said, "Heh, and this is only a  taste of what's coming  from the BlackOps crew... phearit." ("bass bass bass hi-hat keyboard keyboard bass bass hi-hat snare")Ä ÄÄÄ ÄÄ Ä ù ú  S  o ..   Once, I was walking down the street, and I met him.  He was Dyslexia-Boy.  He was the superhero for all superhereos. I saw him  battle Evil himself   with only a fuzzy nufflestufflebat (tm) and a pair of sissors. It was so   Macgyver-esque. He beat the crap out of Evil, and Evi l's never shown his   face around here.  He saved an orphanage from closure by entering the b ig race and winning the  $500 needed to keep it open. Alvin and the Chipmunks were so happy.  He got me tickets to the Genesis concert because he saved Phil Collins'   daughter from a big frozen watermelon. Then Phil Coll ins left and I never got  to see them again, because the other two members didn' t like Dyslexia-Boy. But  that's another story.  .. anyway. His eventual downfall was the day I saw h im running down the   street faster then a speeding bullet. No, his speed w asn't the thing that  killed him. It was the fact that he couldn't read the  "STOP" sign, and he ran  right out into the intersection. Actually, he lept ov er the '94 Pontiac   Sunfire, but got broadsided by a bus.   Too bad Dyslexia-Boy never got to read. I'm really s ure he could have made a fine squash player. ("mother should I trust the government?") ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ ÄÄÄ ÄÄ Ä ù ú  This month was a very busy month for the Blade Natio n. We teamed up and  aquired a lot of, uh, junk. Before we get to the long, unimportant small stuff,  I hearby claim the numbers 69 (which we stole from Acid, I think), 2601 ( *cough*), 2001 (hey, hal9000 loved it, why shouldn't we?), and 12 (Today's show was made possible by the number twelve!).  Belial, Mindcrime, Dimes, and Edicius took a trip to  Seaside, New Jersey.  There, they met up with a lot of other modem warriors and aquired the whole   fucking boardwalk, minus a dart game.  More specifically, shit we got from this trip includ e:  - the Frog Bog stand.  - a bumpercar.  - a ticket booth.  - some 3D skateboarding game (not 720, we already had that.)  - four air hockey tables, including a phearsome alumin um top table (note: this is the only aluminum top  air hockey table in the state of New Jersey  (besides the one that was right next to it.))  - the "House of the Dead" shooting game.  - some punk kids standing outside smoking pot.  - Ivan the Ironman Stewart, and two of his Super Off R oad Games.  - "Shoot the Geek".  - checkerboards from the shitty dart game.  - the Zipper and Gravitron rides.  - some vibrating game that Rattle showed us. (no, not that game!!!)  - Antihero.  On another trip, Mindcrime and Belial went to a yard  sale. They got:  - a wooden chair, missing a leg.  - some silverware.  - an extra leg for a wooden chair.  - a seven year old girl. (Belial picked her.)    Edicius has a job at the Great Atlantic and Pacific Foodstore. He's aquired  a lot of stuff from there.  - a cute checkout girl named Courtney.  - Sarah.  - Michelle.  - fifty-two shopping carts with bad wheels.  - a can of bad tunafish.  - also noteworthy: using cleaning solutions found on a isle 12, Edicius created a cure for Polio. (Too b ad Jonas Salk already did that.)  Mindcrime, Belial, Edicius, and Cappacino took a tri p to Point Plesant, New  New Jersey. After strolling the long, air hockey-less  boardwalk, we aquired:  - a really bad mini golf stand.  - another Super Off Road game.  - four "San Francisco Rush" games.  - six really angry skinheads.  - the "slow" batting cages (note: Belial and Edicius w ent a combined 0-20 in  the "medium" cage.) - A Boardwalk sign. (if you're ever around Pt. Pleasan t, look on the signs  that are actually on the boardwalk and you'll see an  "Owned by the Blade Nation" sticker, I swear !)  Mindcrime and Edicius took one of our owned planes t o Hong Kong. We   interrupted the cermony where Britain was giving Hong Kong to China. We now  own Britain, Hong Kong, China, and Laos.  Grey Hawk's in Ireland; we own Air Lingus.  Belial owns his bed at 3:30 in the morning.    Grymmjack and Sara own a bunch of hippies at the Det roit fireworks.    We own Microsoft Internet Explorer, but we'r e looking to trade for some   Nintendo games and some cheese.  Mindcrime, Buddy, and Jason own a drunk guy in Red B ank to throw rocks at.
