The Daily Blade, Volume 1, Issue 77

IT'S A SMALL TOWN AFTER ALL.

Well, you know the old song, just one moon and one golden sun, right? Well, that has nothing to do with this article. A girl that I used to go to school with, way back in the day(I think it was six or seven years ago), was going out with a friend of mine. I know, you guys are thinking sarcasticly "What ARE the odds?" but that's not all I'm getting at, obviously. She broke up with him, to my understanding, and is now sort of going out with another one of my friend's, friend bieng simple, old roomate that knows and remembers me from the half hour I spent in his room. Just thought I'd share, even though none of you probably followed me on this one.

THE GLAIVE...

This weapon that dates back to who knows when was once used to do battle. Upon realizing there were many other weapons that could be more efficient, a sword, spear, cheese wedge for the lactose intolerant, this weapon soon disappeared from view. The rarity of this weapon now proves that even the dullest of... I think it's like a spear, could have value. Really, any glaive can now be bought and sold at high prices by really stupid people. Know this: I have no idea what I'm talking about. Now we hear from Locke.

Did You Know?

Here's a little info to help Thorn's maddness along, I picked up some stuff on The Simpsons. You want more? Go to http://www.snpp.com ****Locke, I put that in a "Check it out" once, but thanks again!****

--The Simpson family was created in 15 minuites while Matt Groening was waiting for something.
--Springfield is a fictional location.
--The Simpsons had many different street address, such as 723 Evergreen Terrace (which is most commonly used now) and 94 Evergreen Terrace, Springfield, USA.

Check It Out!

Going to the movies this weekend and don't know what to watch? See "The Sixth Sense." This movie rocks. Yes, the beginning will baffle you, the next ninety minutes will take you nowhere, but the end is all worthwhile. I know I never saw it coming.

Song of the Day.

"The Operetta" from Final Fantasy III. (That isn't the name, but I don't know what it is. Locke?)

For a video game, you think "That music sounds so fake. It's not even done with real instruments." am I right? Well, this song won me over in both tune and lyrics. You're probably thinking "Lyrics?" Yes, the game actually put in lyrics. While they didn't have anyone singing the song, they posted them up as they were supposed to be sung. I loved this scene, and it starred one of my favorite FFIII characters: Celes. I know a lot, if not most of you guys never played this, but it you want a copy of the words, I'll send you all I have.

Locke's Look in the Gaming World

Hello all! I'm back again for my second column in this fine newsletter...I can smell the virtual ink already! Speaking of virtual, have any of you heard of 'The Stone'? It's a new multiplayer puzzle game. You buy The Stone at you local electronics store and log onto their webpage. There are little pictures on the stone you get that you must enter to find you partner. From there, you and your partner must solve puzzles and work together to unravel the mystery of The Stone. The creators said that this won't happen until at least the middle of next year. Sounds cool, eh?

I made it to the 3rd CD on Final Fantasy 8! 1 1/2 CD's left! Wish me luck!

EIGHT-BALL MAYHEM!

When are you gonna change this to "Oddball Mayhem" and fill us in on the Sideliners and their new adventures?

Query does not match eight ball functions............... Processing new answer.................. There will not be anything on the Sideliners here, unless a certain someone gives the okay. Even then, the Sideliners haven't done anything for a while.

What is going to happen to "Episodes of the Blade?"

Outlook not so good. I like that column the least of all of them, so it's probably never going to return. It was stupid. I mean, Joshua Jackson attacks the team? What was I thinking??????

52-TWENTY

Stumbling through a dark alleyway, a drunk approached me and asked me for my wallet. I walked on confidently knowing he could not touch me. Next, a little girl was handing out pills that she said were for her mommy's anti-pregnancy run. I thought "Well, I don't want her mommy to get pregnant." I took all the pills she had, and then the little girl turned into a giant graham cracker. I ate the cracker along with a large glass of milk. I was full, so I tossed the pills in the trash. I wasn't planning on taking strange drugs that a sweet, sweet cookie/cracker thingy gave me anyway. I only take prescription drugs as should you. Next time you see your doctor, tell him you ain't his lackey, and that he has nothing to offer you but his love. Then, when he's down on the floor kicking your feet, you just kick him, again and again and again! Soon, he won't get back up, but you'll go to jail. Too bad you kicked the stupid doctor. Anyway......
