What fun it is to freeze your feet off in the deep snow, for no apparent
reason. Except the Minnehaha parking lot skitching, and bothering the fuckin'
fuckers, was enjoyable. Did you know that Dr. Boogie's car (The BoogerMobile.
How cute.) can't hold more than a 1/2 tank of gas? The gas tank has a leak.

The only thing that the Thought Police lost was their map to the Twin Cities.
That's it. I still think it was funny when Attic Man backfired the engine, and
we claimed it was gunshots. 'Was that a shotgun?' Was a common question from
the MPG. 'Bahahahaha!'. On the way home to my house, Attic Man backfired the
engine in that long tunnel on 94, by Lyndale ave. H0000ie! And did Sinbad
really get pictures of the 'party` at his house? (Also, Sinbad, was it you who
said that I was the craziest of the bunch?) Oh well, the wordwrap is getting
slower, so to avoid being errored out, (Since they ONLY* have 10 megs.) from

then go back home and tell mom that you couldn't sleep! Its that easy!

First, we (Mini, AB, Latin & I) hit the Southdale Luditorium, do some
reverse, over the fence the hard way Ludes, some other totally Rad-to-the Bone
manuvers, and Mini gets us to leave literally 15 seconds before the Richfield
Anti-Lude Squad arrives. It was just to perfect watching them shine the
Ludepole as we are driving away in Codemobile //... It was just too perfect...
Then, we cruise over to the FD Luditor ium and outwit the security to take
up some awesome serious-lash Ludes. Well, we knew what we had to do to make it
perfect, so we were off to the VA!
At the VA, we have to outwit vicious families waiting in the lobby to get
some REAL serious heigth. Latin was just too awesome when he got on a real
ludepole like that. And then on the way home there was those terrible
accidents with the bus stops, but we won't t alk about that!! --R. Raff

1) The Ruskies have a new virus that eats though the alternator belts on cars
in America, and they're testing it out in Minnesota.
2) Same as #1, but substitute Army for Ruskies and Russia for America.
3) There are little gremlins in the cars that are wreaking havoc...
