Guysguise.com Proclaims Itself ONLY Source For
Humour In World
WEETHING-KYUSS, UK -- As GuysGuise.com continues
to be an online zine dedicated to providing humor
and insight to Alternate Reality Gaming, Alternate
Reality Gamers who actively seek new editions
of the online zine often lament reading the entire
new edition only Three hours after publication.
The editors had planned for the edition to entertain
the audience for the entire month. However, once
an edition is detected, visitors rapidly devour
the articles, much to the editors' joy.
Guysguise.com editor-in-chief Candice Joplin
remarked, "This a great demonstration of
how voracious our readers are. Clearly we are
the Only source for humor in the world."
Despite claims to contrary, there is hard evidence
that this is the case. As Ms. Joplin explains,
"the amount of propaganda supporting the
claim cannot dispute the facts."
The statements made by Ms. Joplin have elicited
some fairly biased criticisms from members of
other humour sites. In several instances, a spamming
shill from Tomb Ridge, Tennessee was seen on several
sites dispensing knock-knock jokes and potty humor,
while claiming that he was not working for any
specific site. "We don't care about all the
quibbling going
around, we are still the Only humour site on the
internet," declares Ms. Joplin.
And it doesn't matter how many people out there
point out that Guysguise.com is wrong in making
this statement. Joplin had this to say about the
situation: "In our hearts, we know we are
right. We will crush the competition. We will
continue to send out our information packages.
And, if need be, we will continue to segregate
ourselves from the larger community and make false
accusations against people until we get our way.
Because, as far as humour is concerned, it's our
way or no way at all."
While Ms. Joplin continues to make her controversial
statements, the Board of Directors stand by their
decision to hire Ms. Joplin and have issued the
following statement: "Candice Joplin's editorial
strengths are far superior to any other we have
found. She has a backbone that is stronger than
any that we've seen before her and because of
that she can get the work done. While her methods
are questionable and her ethics weak, the job
gets done no matter the cost."

Chasing
The Fish Gains Ground, Despite Criticisms
CYBERSPACE -- Whatever genius lies beneath the
surface of Chasing
the Fish should come up for air and collect
their dues -- fans of the upcoming Chasing
the Wish ARG are flocking to the site to bear
witness to the often hilarious tidbits of video
and text. Despite the site's off-handed humor,
some nefarious nogoodniks are badmouthing CTF,
calling it a "slap in the face to trout everywhere."
While the origins of the site are not immediately
known, Guysguise.com is claiming credit for planting
the seed ot thought into the head of the very
opportunistic 'fishmasters' of the site. In a
feature story
the Only humour site on the internet
ran in Issue 16 (January 26), the then-false domain
name chasingthefish.com appeared. Shortly thereafter,
the domain went live with a curious frontpage
with a montage of fish and fisherpeople -- including
a very nice picture of a trout.
Community members are divided on what to think
about the site. While many feel that it is a suitable
homage to what could be the ARG of the year, others
have made clear that this sort of parody has no
place in modern day society. "Parody went
out with Weird Al Yankovic," claims an unnamed
source. "There's just no room for this kind
of crap in our community. We're supposed to be
serious about playing games. Games are serious
now. Serious."

Top
Ten Reasons To Use (or Abuse) a LiveJournal
Top Ten Reasons To Use (or Abuse) a LiveJournal
10. Creating a rating system
for German 'poop films' to share with your ScheisseRing.
9. Sounding off about the need
for less clothing on Buffy.
8. Telling the geeks that visit
your site how wonderful your boyfriend is, then
linking to his equally pathetic blog.
7. Spreading rumors about J.
Lo. She hates that!
6. Making notes about moving
objects in the sky, as if you are trying
to save the world from alien invasions. At the
same time, write secret messages to your alien
buddies to suggest possible landing sites for
the invasion.
5. Tell people who to watch for
in the Ontario Hockey League midget draft. Then,
explain that midget hockey players are actually
just young, not 'vertically challenged'.
4. Announce daily changes in
your Last Will and Testament. Keep those greedy
bastard relatives on their toes!
3. Write songs that are never
meant to be heard. Use phrases like "Suck
my garage newsletter" and "For you I
write this snowmobile headcheese" to further
separate yourself from the sane world.
2. Each day, say something nice
about Yanni. For example: "I would really
like to buy a Yanni-thong." Or, "Yanni
is the reason my teacher became a crack whore
in New Hampshire."
1. Rant about people and things
you can't stand. Be sure to use very personal
details about each and every person you rant about.
It's your weblog, so go ahead! Hurt their
feelings good!
