["Shadow" <Shadowlander1@xxxxxxx>]

TO: All Department Heads; United Vegetable Empire; and all other interested
parties.
FROM: Director of Public Safety
SUBJECT: End of the Month State of the Gutter and Woods Outback Report for
Sept. 2002

:: Furry little monster steps up to podium wearing fighter pilot?s cap and
bomber jacket :: First off I would like to start by saying ?Okay? jokes
over? turn down the damn air conditioning already ? the penguins can?t want
it THAT cold and we got icicles forming in the washrooms!? Now onto
business? so some of us non-artic loving mischief and mayhem makers can get
back to chaos spreading ? or in the very least get our favourite ?cuddle
bunny? to? well cuddle with us to keep warm!

Item 1:
Regarding the concern over the ski-jump being built in front of the deep
swimming pool near the big lake in the Southeast Gutter. Do not worry? the
Koala has a permit to build it, he is introducing something he is calling
?Extreme Air-Wave Gutter-style? to the Gutter and Woods Outback. Which
apparently involves putting on snow skis, riding down the ski-jump, and
diving into the pool. Points will be awarded for style, complexity, and
novelty of the various jumps, as well as a group competition and something
called ?ultimate freestyle? ? which even I?m a bit afraid to ask considering
the evil grin he had shining in his eyes as he was talking about it. When
one can see the naughty wickedness shining in his eyes even through his dark
blue-mirror tint Oakley?s its best not to ask too many questions and just
have the bail and/or hospital money handy.

Item 2:
Regarding the suggestion that the new ?Extreme Air-Wave? pool be filled with
holy water and allowing the vampire lemmings to take a practice jump. That
request has been denied, while it would take care of the vampire lemming
problem, it would also dirty up the pool with dust, clogging the water
purifiers and recycler system. Further, considering it is water, the
vampire penguins may try to take a dip in it and get themselves dusted as
well? and since we DO have a few vampire forest dwellers out there too, they
have already voiced their outrage over having an ?Extreme Air Wave? jump
they can?t use because it would kill them.

I know we?ve had this talk before guys? I bloody well hate getting a visit
from the ?Non-Living and Sun Allergic Anti-Deformation League? complaining
that they are being unfairly discriminated against simply because they are
not sun-worshiping humans who have the sense the gods gave a grapefruit!
For the most part members of the League are? relatively? peace loving and
usually keep to themselves bringing as little attention to themselves to
stray stake-happy slayers, demon hunters, and Jehovah Witnesses as possible,
as well as paying their protection money ? on time I might add ? every year.

Item 3:
Reminder of Amazon and Centaur Festival policy? these festivals are usually
?members only? people and are highly frowned upon by party crashers. Need I
remind everyone that both tribes DO have rather sharp pointy objects very
close at hand and are not afraid to use them? Further both tribes tend to
be rather firm believers in long and painful tortures for people that annoy
them. :: points to report of Roman Legion Phalanx re-enactors who were
found tied naked to a Sequoia in the Californian Sequoia National Forest
after being missing for well over two months, babbling about Centaurs,
Amazons, a dark Warrior Princess, and the sadist use of nut bread. :: And
they were ONLY MILDLY ANNOYED with the re-enactors, I don?t even what to
thank of what they would do to people they really hate.

Item 4:
The ground breaking of the new ?Royal Amazon and Gutter Library? took place
without incident last week, the rumoured protests by the ?Order of
Irate-Stick-in-the-Mud-Repressed-Old-Bats and Smut Haters? did not take
place. The peaceful ground breaking took place with the aid of the Amazon
Royal Guard who acted as crowd control and chief removal service of unwanted
rabble-rousers. We are now in negotiations with the Amazons to get the
Royal Guard to assist in crowd control at the year-end Gutter
Solstice/Christmas and New Year Block Party ? primarily around the South
Gutter Hot Tubs.

Item 5:
I?m not going to ask who introduced the Amazons to the Harley Davison
motorcycle :: gives certain unnamed Gutter and Woods Outback dwellers a
meaningful look :: primarily because most of you can?t stop snickering long
enough to give me a straight answer. However, I am going to protest
introducing the Centaurs and Amazons to the joys of Napalm! Look people,
both tribes are still ?miffed? about certain episodes of the Hercules and
Xena? and do not need to be giving weapons of mass destruction to use on
their evil-producer voodoo dolls. There is such a thing as ?overkill? and
all the explosions are making the Roman Legion Phalanx re-enactors curl up
in small balls in a corner and cry for their ?mummies? to make the mean
Amazons leave them alone.

Item 6:
Regarding the ?Air Raid Drills? at the local Catholic Girl School. Those
are valid, needed drills to ensure that the students at the school are able
to protect themselves in case of alien invasion or frisky forest dwellers on
nightly pounce and panty raids. We are merely ensuring that they can defend
themselves in these times of great global strife and uncertainty. Much like
the monthly fire drills, we are merely enforcing Gutter and Woods Outback
Safety. It is not the fault of Gutter and Woods Outback Safety that you
guys keep forgetting to read the bulletin board and fail to sign up for the
Air Raid and Fire Drills. They are posted every month on the bulletin board
that most of you guys pretend not to see in the Community Square? it is a
bit hard to miss it you know, it IS right in front of entrance to the
replica of the Temple of Aphrodite in the middle of the square! You have to
walk around the thing to get into the temple for crying out loud.

Item 7:
Regarding the continuing SPAMMING of the Hand_of_Chaos list? people this is
greatly ticking me off. Do NOT post URLs that lead NO WHERE or load to
blank pages! I know that this is usually the doing of those who seem to
think that the list is their own personal ad agency and that most of you are
just as annoyed as I am. I ? as owner of the Hand_of_Chaos list ? and my
moderators are looking into getting this stopped once and for all. At this
time I am taking suggestions on how to get this stopped without making it
difficult for the rest of the list to post messages and hold creative dialog
on-list.

Further discussion of Item 7 will be held on the Hand_of_Chaos list since it
is an internal problem on that list at the moment. However, if anyone out
there on other lists have suggestions please drop me a line and I will pass
it onto the HoC. I?m trying to create an environment there the list-members
feel they have some say in how the list is run and they are not afraid to
voice their opinions on issues that affect them and the list.

Item 8:
Regarding the little demented vampire fruit bat doing ?adult?
impersonations? yes it is annoying and quite disturbing. Damn spammers?
making me scare my fellow list-siblings. :: mutters darkly about mean
spammers and pouts ::

That is all? we know return you to your regular scheduled fanfics, mischief
making and mayhem spreading. LONE LIVE CHAOS!!!!!!
