TOO LATE: INTERMITTENS ISSUE #2 RELEASED!

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Hahahah I haven't read it yet but I am looking forward to the holiday gift guide for kids, because I've been writing those in my head for YEARS.

Angrily.

So who is awesome enough to step up and edit Issue #3?

Weren't you slated to do an issue on the theme of "Adventure"? If so, I have a column in the works about Ant people, faceless children and the imprisonment of alien races that I could finish up and send your way.

I don't know why but a few of the pages don't show up properly on Scribd. Works fine when you download it as a .PDF though.  Strange.

awesome!
I've made a mirror here

WTF?  The biggest file there is 7.7 MB.

I nearly had a heart attack when you said 200 MB.  No pdf file should be that large, not ever.

issue #1 probably 2.0 freezes at 1.69 i will give it a try again later and see if it works
issue #2 down loaded fine for me

Yes, I'm actually still brainstorming the theme... I'm also thinking of "Projects", "Networks" and "In-Jokes".

But I don't intend to start on this right now - my priority right now is the Etc. Discordia... would be better if someone else stepped up to edit an issue. It's quite easy, really. Plus I don't want Intermittens to turn into the Cramulus show.



It's funny - remember that guy 23press who showed up a few weeks ago? He said he was writing an anarchistic zine - meaning that the people who were composing the zine had no internal hierarchy. That's exactly what we're doing.

Truee. wee aree doing thee samee thing hee or shee was doing. . .

Fuck mee sideways, I don't want to bee like that guy; hee or shee seeemed to bee sort of a jeerk! wee shall now bee forceed to canceel inteermitteens, so as to not reeplicatee. although, I cannot makee that deecision, beecausee

(says this slowly): wee . . . do . . . not . . . run . . . inteermitteens . . . hieerarchicallee.

In all seriousness, I understand what you're saying. I would take on the show, but I'm neither good at compiling things, nor at working with layout software. If it's not basic MS Word, I'm fucked as far as layout knowledge goes.

To whoever wants to take up the mantle, though, I've got plenty of steam in my for some articles, and I'm also working on next issue's Whoroscopes. The new Discordian Signs this time will be Bumblebee, Twizzler, Fauvist, Dungpile, and Condom.

I wish I was awesome enough to step up and edit, but right now I'm kind of in "survive through the day" mode, so I can't commit to anything.

Success story: I have successfully placed five (5) copies of Intermittens Issue #2 in a local coffee/muffin shop by my work. Sparing a few minutes to note public reaction, I noticed the following:

1) Two different guys flipped through the issue and said, "What the hell is this?"

2) One woman (youngish, rather foxy) laughed her ass off about something inside of it. I couldn't spy too closely, but I think she was looking at the page with the rocket chainsaw picture.

3) One old woman who was roughly 3126 years old sat down, flipped through it, and began to do the crossword.

4) Several people - probably about 10 or 15 - have looked at the cover as they walked by with various mixtures of intrigue, curiosity and discomfort.

I will see if I can sneak a copy into the barber shop before I go home today.

this gives me a reason to go on living.

It occurs to me that someone should go back to that "wee" fellow and rub this in his face.

That and you have both a comma and a period after "Unauthorized reproduction encouraged."

grammatical consistency is for pansies.
