A-M00SE-ING ANECDOTES AND ILLUMINATION BY AND FOR THE PAWNS OF THE
M00SE ILLUMINATI
Issue #12| Disclaimer: The Editor will place almost anything | Sep. 19, 1988
---------- in this newsletter out of a frantic desire to fill ---------------
the issue, so don't blame him for the quality or content of the submissions.
Excepting those he may have written himself, the enclosed items do not in any
way represent the Editor's opinions. In fact, let's be real safe, and say that
as far as this newsletter is concerned, he has no opinions at all. Okay? Good.

**************************** EDITORIALS AND LETTERS ****************************
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, here we are with Issue #12! Things are progressing nicely in the
M00se Illuminati. We continue to expand, some goals are being set, interesting
activities are being carried out.
One thing you may be interested in is the description of CHAOS Engineering
in M00se.Info. I intend to update the file a bit myself, and then anybody who
wants the new version can ask me for it. If enough people want it, I'll just
send it out along the distribution net.
Which brings us to the one problem we have. Virtually nobody is answering
the question about distributors. Once again, we need one person at each node
to distribute for that node, and we need to know if that person is also willing
to forward a copy to the next major server node in line. We want answers from
those who are alone at a node; even if you won't be distributing to others at
your own node, are you willing to send a copy along to the next node in line?
PLEASE get back to me on this ASAP, Kamikaze can't design a new MDNET without
this information. Since the current one has holes in it, and some people may
not be getting their issues, we want to take care of this as soon as possible.

******************************* EVENTS AND NEWS ********************************
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As I said above, the M00se Illuminati keeps growing. And now the day is
in sight when we shall reach 100 network chapters. I hereby suggest that when
we do, we have a Mega-Thr0ng-a-Thong at the University of Hartford, here in CT.
I will begin looking into hotels and campgrounds in the area, to get ideas of
prices in the area. The Science Fiction Society here at UHa will reserve a
good-sized room for a day. And when we reach 100 chapters, we'll start working
on an actual date.
Whaddaya all think?

<< Here we have Wall's first attempt at gospel (I think he said) songwriting.
It's started some activity on the Stony Brook Underground. >>
GOOD ENOUGH FOR JESUS
---------------------
Jesus is my guidance
he tells me what is true
he tells me what to think
he tells me what to do
he tells me what i'm hearing
he tells me what i see
and if it's good enough for Jesus,
it's good enough for me.
Jesus healed the faithful
back in the Good Old Days.
He didn't have to do surgery
he didn't need X-rays
and he didn't need to medicine
to cure their infirmity
and if faith-healing's good enough for Jesus
it's good enough for me.
Those Evil Pawns of Satan
are publishing books of sin
books like 'Stuart Little'
and 'Huckelberry Finn'
and so what if this is America
so what if the press is free
if censorship's good enough for Jesus
it's good enough for me.
That heretic Charles Darwin
said Creation was just a fable
he said we evolved from monkeys
not from Adam, Eve, nor Abel
and so what if Galton proved it,
quite irrefutably
if Creationism's good enough for Jesus
it's good enough for me.
A man called Galileo
said the Earth goes 'round the Sun
and the Earth is just a planet
and not the only one
and so what if Kepler proved it
in the Seventeenth century
if Geocentrism's good enough for Jesus
it's good enough for me.
Yes Jesus is our savior
he showed us the way
and now it's our duty to save you
so you'd better do what we say
and if you don't want to go along with it
we have ways of forcing you to
cause if it's good enough for Jesus
it's good enough for you.

<< The CHAOS Engineer's Superm00se story will continue with chapter two
next issue. At this time, he plans to make it a bi-weekly feature. >>

*************************** MISCELLANEOUS NONSENSE *****************************
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<< One of the new chapters, Larry Nathanson, had an interesting idea some
of you may wish to try out. >>
Oh, by the way, The treasurer of this chapter, collected dues from the
Poobah, and Bull Moose, (who promptly wrote him checks) and convinced the
ATM to triple his account. He thanks you dearly, and will refer the bank
manager to you, if problems arise. :-)

<< This note came from the CHAOS Engineer, giving a little bit of hope that
Sabre is still alive... >>
Today I did sight the rare and Elusive m00se whom is called Sabre.
This was indeed a suprise, as he has been reputed to have been kidnapped
by the brotherhood of evil relayers. This in fact is not true, as the straight
p00p from the m00se's mouth did indicate otherwise. He has in fact been
enslaved by the Boston Univeristy Bookstore. further sightings will be
reported.
