| 1. What the FUCK is this
----- A. A 'zine created to expose the crazy sickness of this world and this society and to inflict my frustrations on the world that causes me pain;-) 2. Are you SERIOUS? A. I wouldn't design all these issues and do all the photocopy work if I wasn't. 3. So, are you a LIEBERRAL SHECKULAR HUUUMANIST? A. In the 90's I considered myself more of a 'centrist'. That is, lock up felons, but spend money to educate them out of prison. Aggresively go after welfare cheats, but make sure everyone has a job if they are willing to work. Allow some foreign trade, but protect homeland businesses even if it means tarriffs, etc. I don't subscribe to the "Left" and "Right" puppet show put on by propagandists. I'm against the "Right" neo-cons because they seem to only care about business and monied interests. Since I earn less than $1 million a year, they don't care about me. We supposedly live in a 'republic' that is a compromise of Democracy. A few elites controlling it is not, leading in the short term to dictatorship, the long term to breakdown. 4. What the FUCK did you mean by "Lucky Me I hit the Trifecta? A. What I said. If we must be clear, what he actually said was like "-And I said we'd never raid Social Security except in cases of War, National Emergency or High Debt. Little did we realize, we'd hit the TRIFECTA." ----whole room starts laughing, Dubya with them----- This is a joke he repeated in about two dozen elite social clubs over the space of a year. $1000 a plate fundraisers with business and industry fat cats scratching each other's backs as they turn their huge wealth hoards even larger under the fortunes of war profiteering "No-Bid" contracts and "Subsidies" funded from slashed charities and "Tax Breaks" that alone could pay for the current war. The "Rightist" propaganda monkeys like to say things like "Fair and Balanced", well if ONLY they ragged on Bush Jr. the way they did Clinton. Imagine if Clinton actually SAID "Ever hear of 'Wag the Dog', boy?" to a reporter? Bush Jr. on the other hand, is like an evil Dan Qwayle, constantly putting his foot in his mouth, with little or no hassling from the media. "The Canada/Mexico border" for example. Just in case this hasn't sunk in yet, I am how we might say 'critical' of George Bush jr. and his administration. 5. Your Zine is cool. Can I submit something? A. Sure, go to the submissions page for more details! 6. What's that ALIEN? What's that pyramid? A. My mind was rotted watching "In Search Of" stuff as a kid. 7. How often do you publish a zine? A. Depends on what I'm in the mood for. I'm going to try to do three issues ASAP, realisticly in this month, then maybe once a month therafter. 8. How big will your issues be? A. Booklet size 4 or more pages. I'm going to try to keep it 8-16 pages since photocopying isn't free. Now if someone can donate $150 for a laserjet printer, that'll lower my costs significantly. ---UPDATE--- A very nice lady named Marica Boyer donated the money for a laserjet printer. Guess I'll be calling this operation "Foaming Rabid Laserjet Press" soon:-) ---Donations, of course, are still appreciated: Please e-mail me with some! 9. Where can I pick your 'zine up? A. I'm working on that now. I try to get it in used bookstores, coffeshops, etc. I'll have a more complete list soon. You probably got the first issue free, "left somewhere" and that was my doing. UNLESS it was in a place that someone said leaving it there was 'littering", then it was SOMEONE ELSE who dropped it off there;-) 10. How much does it cost? A. That depends. I'm not really doing this for money, but photocoyping isn't free. Online sales cost $1 at least. If a magazine is displayed somewhere, I'll have a tip jar. 25cents for the small issues, 50 cents or more for the large issues, more is appreciated. You can read it first, but if you take a copy or get a good laugh, please drop a little in! 11. More? You want MORE? A. Yep. I'd like it if people donated more to offset the photocopying costs, not to mention my own pocket. Anyone donating $5 or more gets something like a "Thank you mention" option, probably printed out in the next issue's credits page. $20 gets something like a custom drawing, a website "Thank you!" mention, etc. $50 - well, I can install home computers, do custom animations, etc. Dare I dream someone will give me my target $150 for a basic laserjet printer? Thanks to a nice donation, the latter part is OK now, further donations of course are still quite appreciated! But I'm not in this for money, I hope people will read my zine, have a laugh, think about my points, pass it around and maybe submit info, throw a few $ for photocopies and e-mail me about it. 12. Your art is kinda familiar, have I seen it before? A. I used to get a lot of cartoons published in the "Billings Outpost". Because of my work schedule I've been 'out of the loop' for a while. Foaming Rabid is my outlet for things I KNOW the editor can't print. Kind of a 'pressure valve'. BACK |
