Greetings!!! You have been selected to be a member of the NEW EXCLUSIVE Mordor communications system!!! If you wish to have your membership revoked, please send your name and alias to SAURON. I will then pronounce you to be a hoser and kick you out of my system forever!

How many times must I suffer the horror
Of Pete's name changing sprees?
How many times must I re-memorize
Your name, and how to spell it perfectly.
How many times shall I write to my friend?
And find out that his name is no more?
The answer, my friend, is spinning on the disk.
The answer is spinning on the disk.

they would kill me for a cigarette,
but i don't even wanna die just yet.
there has to be an invisible sun.
gives its heat to everyone.
there has to be an invisible sun.
gives us hope when the whole day's done.

The Lord is my external-internal integrative mechanism,
I shall not be deprived of gratification for my viscero-genic hungers of my need-dispositions.
He motivates me to orient myself towards a non-social object with affective significance.
He positions me in a non-decisional situation, He maximizes my adjustment.
Although I entertain masochistic and self-destructive id impulses, I will maintain contact with reality for my superego is dominant.
His analysis and tranquilizers, they comfort me.
He assists in the resolution of my internal conflicts despite my Oedipal problem and psychopathic compulsions.
He promotes my in-group identification.
My personality is totally integrated.
Surely my prestige and status shall be enhanced as a direct function of time And I shall remain sociologically, psychologically and economically secure forever.

The Hacker
By
Sauron, of Mordor

Once upon a midnight weary,
While I programmed, weak and weary,
On many a quaint and curious variant,
Of the sorting lore;

While I nodded, nearly sleeping,
Suddenly, there came a beeping,
As of some cricket cheeping,
Loudly cheeping from above the ground.
Quoth the Esprit, “FILE NOT FOUND”.

“What?", said I, "A file is missing?
“Me myself this off is pissing!
How can I have a file that’s missing
From the disk that goeth I round?"
Quoth the Esprit, “FILE NOT FOUND”.

To the Big Man' s desk I crept,
And upon his desk I wept,
"Is my file from memory swept?
Has it gone to the Great Beyond?"
Quoth the Big Man, "Backup's gone".

To my place I sadly slunk,
In my chair I loudly plunked,
And sadly, sadly, sadly thunk,
"Maybe I should stick to War"
Quoth the Esprit, "NEVER MORE".

Re: Living Tax.

It has come to our attention lately that you have not paid your tax for having the privilege of existence. In case you do not feel it is your obligation to pay for your life, let us explain the logic behind this tax.

The universe consists of nothing. It is matter and anti-matter, both existing in equal amounts. Since matter and anti-matter, when put together, cancel each other out, the universe effectively consists of nothing.

The same can be said of life. All life is balanced by death. Neither can exist without the other. Both cancel each other out.

The same can be said of our Economic System. Debits and Credits cancel each other out, and each need the other to survive.

It follows that, since each of these three systems are equivalent, they are one. Since the US government reserves the right to tax our Economic System, it therefore, by extension, has the right to tax Life, the Universe, and Everything. God has already received His bill, and his payment is forthcoming. Don't you feel that, as an American Citizen, you should, too?

I have stumbled upon a plot of massive importance. There is some power working against us. What else can explain the strange disappearances of Zaphod, Galadriel, Arthur Dent, Mack the Knife, Chani Siona, and the rest. Many of these persons are themselves powerful beings, whom, it would seem, could not be forced to do an against their will. However, the fact remains that they are gone. What could be the explanation?
I retired to my libraries of arcane lore in the depths of Barad-dur to seek out the answer. After long minutes of study, I stumbled across a half-remembered legend, shrouded in the mists of time. The legend is thus:

Every (unit of time is undecipherable), a strange power comes into this world, and changes the Will of men. Those who would study, play. Those who work, fall into the uttermost slothdom. And (here is the key part), those who would stay with their loved ones and allies, depart for strange and distant lands. Their reasoning for this behavior is strange beyond belief. “I felt like it.” will invariably be their response when asked about their behavior. They are not in control of themselves, however, for they are in the grip of a power that no one is fully able to resist. This power has been ‘Vak-a-shun’.

However, do not be downheaarted. The power of Vak-a-shun wanes after a short time, and people return to their senses. Our comrades will soon be rejoining us. Vak-a-shun very rarely claims its victims permanently.

(This serial is sold by weight, not by volume. Some settling may have occurred during shipment.)

As you’ll remember in our last story, we left with Dr. David Lee Roth desperately trying to reconstruct a fragmented sentence...

Meanwhile, at the World Headquarters of the Very Large Corporation of America, Donald Heinz, head of the Department of Redundancy Department, Division of Repetition Section, is talking on the phones.

Meanwhile, Yvette Nurg, Mayor of K--n-, traveling through K--n-, trying to get to her speech on time. Her aide/chauffer, Kendall Blue, is along for the ride. "Can you hurry up?” she asks, “I’m going to be late!” "But, if I go arry faster, I’ll get a ticket.” Kendall replies. “Who’ss going to give the Mayor a ticket?" "Hmmm... You got a point there." Kendall starts driving faster and faster, running red lights with gay abandon...
Meanwhile, Chrissie Goings, secret agent extra ordinaire, is catching up. At last, the moment of victory is at hand! She will finally apprehend the infamous K--n- jaywalker!!
Just then, a car runs a red light in front of them. All three cars atternpt to swerve but only succeed in plunging into a crowd that is gathered in front of a large building, killing everyone in it. Just before Fay's car slids to a stop, it smashes into the sole pillar holding up the building. The Main Headquarters of the Department of Redundancy Department slowly crumbles into dust.
Meanwhile, back at his trailer deep in the ghettos of K--n-, Wes Soops, bored to tears, gets up and looks out the window. He sees, in the square across the street, several dozen bodies, and the crumbled ruins of the skyscraper that used to be there. He sighs. Another boring day in K--n- is coming to an end.
