Hey gang! Welcome to a second Christmas (or first for some) with Spellbinder Productions and Nineteen Nineties Studio. I hope finals are going well for everyone. Just think soon it will be all over. But for just a few moments I want you to forget about that next exam and just relax. Listen to me make fun of yet another set of things held sacred by none (or won't be after I'm done. I considered just sticking to the format of Alternative News that you're used to but in the spirit of Christmas I decided to have a requiem for Raging Bull. And with that in mind here is....

THE END OF AN ERROR
On November 22, 1993, one year after it's inception, the last edition of Raging Bull was sent out to its readers. The decision stop production was made solely by the writer who felt he should "quit while I'm behind". There were seven editions of Raging Bull sent out, all of which are held in the archives of Nineteen Studio and are available upon request.
The antics of Raging Bull are applauded by this paper and for this reason we offer a requiem to it's end. We have begged the writer to once more grace the electrons with his off-beat satire and he has agreed. This edition is dedicated to the memory of Raging Bull, a publication that brought a smile to the faces of many and a little variety to the usual collection of dis list e-mail.

Raging Bull ! The Resurrected Christmas Special


Merry Christmas everyone. I'll bet you're all looking forward to getting the hell out of here. Or in any case at least being done with exams. Well we all know that I never have any work to do so once again I am taking the time to torture your mind with senseless banalities. Hey, you should be appreciative. While you're thinking of all the things you're going to do to me for sending you this mess, you won't be stressing about your next exam/paper. So I'm doing you a favor. So stop whining!

IF ONLY THE NEWS WERE REALLY LIKE THIS

Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday we all sit down to eat our lunch with a copy of the Kenyon Newscope. But what are we really looking for in there. It certainly doesn't tell us the things we really want to know. But the sick imaginations here at Spellbinder productions have produced what the Kenyon Newscope would look like if it were printed to suit our real needs. And of course we're going to share it with you.

ABUSE OF SONGS YOU'VE COME TO KNOW AND HATE

This section needs no introduction. You already know what's going on here.

Jingle Bells: ARA Style

Jingle Bells
What's that smell
Oh, it's on my plate
The food ain't real
But it just might kill
Your survival's left to fate
Oh Jingle Bells
What's that smell
Oh, it's on my plate
The food ain't real
But it just might kill
Your survival's left to fate

Dashing though the snow
To get some food to eat
Taco Pie and Tofu
Oh boy what a treat
Lookin' at this stuff
Makes my stomach heave
The smell is getting worse in here
I think I have to leave

Oh Jingle Bells
What's that smell
Oh, it's on my plate
The food ain't real
But it just might kill
Your survival's left to fate


THOSE SILLY E-MAIL PEOPLE

Do you guys remember that ad sent on e-mail for Speed City, the program made to increase your reflexes ? Perhaps they would have a better turn out if they used the same name for a different program. Like this one.

SPEED CITY COMES TO KENYON

GUARANTEED TO IMPROVE YOUR ALERTNESS, RECEPTIVENESS, AND STATE OF ENERGY.

You are invited to attend Daryl Johnson's "Amphetamine Camp" at Kenyon College on Saturday, January 22nd and Sunday, January 23rd from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. This camp offers you the chance to improve your alertness, receptiveness, and energy state, while teaching you about the safest over the counter and illegal amphetamines. The camp is open to everyone with guaranteed results.

Howard Stabler will be your Speed Specialist. He has taught many important people the benefits of using speed in every day life. Unfortunately we can't mention those important people without getting our asses sued off but even that should give you an idea of just how important these people are.

Amphetamine Camp Details

Location: Alpha Delta Phi Lounge
Date: January 22-23, 1994
Time: 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM
Cost: $50.00 or a bag of grass for our future stress managment workshop

CLASS SOCIETY ENTERTAINMENT

There's no getting around it. For as long as we live there will be rich people and poor people. Guess which class you're in. At any rate everyone needs entertainment. And entertainment sometimes becomes scarce so here are some suggestions that you may want to use.

Games for the Rich

1. Buy a new Mercedes, for every week of the year. Wreck them all. Start with BMW's next year. Park them in bad neighborhoods.
2. Blow up people's homes. Buy them new ones. Say it was a whim.
3. Buy Congressmen. Make them do things that will guarantee they will not get re-elected.
4. Found your own college. Teach wine making.
5. Make your own religion. Pay your acolytes.
6. Kill people you dislike. Buy the judge.
7. Hire rich people to work for you. Get their money. Fire them.
8. Buy the street you live on. Charge the residents toll to drive on it.
9. Advertise that you are dying. See how many new friends you have. Tell them later you've been cured. See how many new friends you have left.
10. Tell people you have buried your fortune. Sell maps that lead to your worst enemy's house.

Games for the Poor

1. Steal cars from the rich. Sell them back.
2. See how many different ways you can prepare Spam and Stove Top stuffing for dinner before the family catches on.
3. Sell a home you don't own. Be convincing.
4. Go to yard sales. Try to buy the yard.
5. Haggle with a Jaguar dealer. Try to get him down to $20.
6. Drive uninsured. Tell accident victims to sue you.
7. Steal from the Salvation Army. Give the clothes to Goodwill.
8. Buy food that is taste guarnteed. Eat it, claim you didn't like it, get your money back
9. Buy one bus fare pass. Stand in a long line. Drop the pass out of a window to a friend.
10. Buy one of the cars that a rich person wrecked. They still run.
