Burton doesn't know what to do about his imaginary green
conscience. |

When
The Great Gazoo Gets Inside Your Head
NEW
BEDROCK CITY-- Mark
Burton may attribute his illusions to his excessive drinking. Mark has
been suffering from mild depression, and his solution was to get the answer
to his problems from his good friend Jack Daniels. But a consequence of
Jack's actions was the sudden manifestation of an animated alien conscience,
a little green creature determined to turn Mark's already upside-down
life...upside-downer.
His problem
started (he thinks) the night he passed-out on his couch, with the television
running a Hanna-Barbera marathon on the Cartoon Network. An excess of
liquor, combined with an overdose of The Flintstones may have
triggered something in his head that led to the substantiation of the
helmeted alien imp from the prehistoric cartoon series. |

What
The Chthfuck?
THE
BLACK FOREST, GERMANY-- What
started as an innocent teenage ritual, turned into a nightmare for German
high-school students visiting from Hanover. The annual
trek into the Black Forest (for a week of camping, hiking, and serious
groping) was turned upside-down by the appearance of several hellish chthonic
creatures released from their bonds at the center of the Earth.
The German
students had read several passages--as a joke--out of an ancient tome,
not realizing what the consequences would be. |

Risky
New Exhibit Is Hit Or Myth
SAN DIEGO-- The
San Diego zoo, famous for its exotic collections of animals, has opened
an exhibit of almost mythical proportions. The zoo has acquired what is
believed to be the first troupe of European stone gargoyles in North America
for public display. "We're very pleased
with this acquisition," said Rupert Miles, assistant zookeeper. "Finally
our zoo can compete with the cathedrals of France and Italy for precious
tourism dollars. Sure there are North American varieties, and I believe
there is a zoo in Brazil with a fine selection of native species, but
nothing says 'gargoyle' quite like the beloved horrid little creatures
typified on European medieval, baroque and roccocco architecture." |

engage in an aquatic seance exercise, reaching across a mystic
watery void in search of spirits. |

COMMUNITY
POOL-- Capitalizing
on the popularity of aquatic excercise and a growing interest in the paranormal,
local recreation centres are getting into the spirit of things, through
aquatic séancing.
"It
gives the kids of all ages a chance to combine swimming, a gentle yet
vigourous cardiovascular activity and the hope to reach across the spiritual
threshold to contact a loved one who has passed over to the other side,"
said Mrs. Hobbleston, Program Director at the Community Pool and Leisure
Centre. |

One
Man's Eerie River Crossing
ALONG
THE RIVER--It
was a dark and foggy night--mostly because of the darkness and the fog.
Some say the fog that night was thicker than phlegm, and couldn't be cut
with even the sharpest of your father's steak knives.
The roads were practically
unnavigable, were it not for the lines dividing one side from the other.
And the river was blanketed from bank to bank, covered more completely
than the fibreglass insulation in your attic. The visibility was so limited,
an embarrassed teen wouldn't have been able to lance the boil on the end
of his own nose. And one man's tale of a ghostly crossing will be told
again and again until it becomes legend, or until people really get sick
of it. |
