From Cramulus
Channeled Messages -- two short bits
Surviving in the Surveillance State -- good solid TAZ Has Ugly, Retarded Cousin -- good Hey Asshole! -- misanthropic but a nice ending Vex:Rants Operation Spinback -- 2 pieces including the intro about op.spinback Combatting Absurdity -- could be left out if there's too much vex
The Great Pope Joan -- nice one (pic of pope giving birth?)
Street Sermon -- not sure, maybe change the tense (currently "I")
Liber Al Vel lols -- good stuff if we can layout it interestingly
Save Money, Kill Time. Kill Money, Save Time -- nice anti-materialistic rant. perhaps lose the "I've found" at the beginning so it doesn't start with "I"
- Cram's stuff, to be layouted/cut-up by Cram The Strange Times - opening piece Go OMF Yourself - a bit later Followup to Go OMF Yourself - further, halfpage Why I Put Up Posters OMGASM Description
Bare Minimum BIP - put somewhere in the beginning of the book, so that people who aren't familiar with the BIP at least know what is referred to every now and then. we could get LMNO or RWHN (or anyone, hey perhaps LHX) to write a small introduction (2 or 3 paragraphs) that sort of describes how the BIP came to be? it's a nice story, and demonstrates the community activity we have going at PD.com
-- shrapnel
The Shrapnel Project -- we dont like it that much but RWHN's gonna be sad if we dont include it :) needs to be after min.BIP anyway
Pipe Bombs -- LHXs shit is always good :) needs to be layouted proper due to his special whitespace style :)
Thoughts on Shrapnel -- better than RWHNs piece, but it would make a nice "drieluik" (dutch for three related pieces) .. threesome? :-P
idea: with the "become dragon" pic, make the arrow longer. RWHN's piece on the left page with just the original gliffy PATHS. arrow to the right page with Dragon. leaves lots of whitespace, which is perfect to sort of drape LHXs piece around. this means Payne's piece comes last because it's based on RWHNs initial start (i think)
"the above four things should be spread out evenly through the book" --> disagree, it would give more structure in the book to put them together with a cover page about shrapnel. a cool (cartoon) explosion picture always works. (right page before RWHNs piece?)
---/
Letters to the Cabbages -- vex. americanocentric, but good stuff. we're not sure (paul hasnt read it yet)
The Parable of Steve -- very good, definitely in (plus 50 post ignoring stare pic)
Space Monkeys -- pineal crap, IMO. did you (cram) read it? it does have an oldskool discordia vibe here and there (i didnt read it, but scanned a few sentences here and there, discordian games etc). first one in the list that we think could be left out.
What if the other religions got it right -- nonsense, discordian fart humor. another one out?
The Evil Dead Boxset for Only $3.99 -- Sepia stuff. yet another different flavour. salmiakki flavour in this case :)
The Koan Thread -- cool short bits. in.
Welcome to Dream Theater -- not too bad. if it's not by someone from PD, it's in. (since we already got a majority of PD entries and so far the only stuff that's out is non-PD)
5 Minutes -- kind of emo. out.
Don't Panic -- cool friendly intro piece. if we can fit it somewhere in the beginning that would be great. sounds a LOT like the BIP intro "hey kid welcome to prison" btw (was that LMNOs?).
still to review:
