Hola, I'm prime anarchist reporting from the  
Anarchic Circle and this is my column for  
ThirstDay, 1-13-00.  
  Overheard on radio. "How come teachers have to 
take their skateboards every year?" 
  Nepotism Watch: Alex Alda. Alan? Kiernan Culkin. 
Macauley? 
     CIDER HOUSE RULES: Homer's Odyssey. 
  A great metaphor for both sides or neither side. 
Your tool to make your choice freely -- without 
fear, persecution or reactionary stupidity. 
  John Irving may have written the 20th Century's 
only real American Classic. - just my opinion. Has 
anyone seen the movie yet? I hear Eryka Badu's a 
hottie in it. I read the book. 
  "TB is spread when a person with active TB  
coughs, sings, or speaks and you breath the  
contaminated air," says a poster on the wall 
where I'm waiting to see the doctor.  
  Imagine being told you can't sing anymore? I can't 
grasp that on ANY level. Wow, yuck. Inthunkable. 
ADBUSTING. You've got two table parts you want to 
use sandwiching one or two leaves from last holiday, 
but they're sunbleached. It's time to blend them in, 
isn't it? 
  CUE-TIP#5. Take the peels from a lemonade you just 
made from scratch. Boil them with one or two cups of 
water for 20-30 minutes. Find a 100% cotton rag, and 
dunk it in the hot lemonwater once it's just cool 
enough to not scald. Rub and rub and watch the magic. 
  Of course, you COULD always buy 2 or 3 rounds of 
commercial products - but brace yourself for the  
extra elbow grease, asthma, eczema and allergies. 
FOR THE RECORD: Prime Anarchist has never owned or 
operated a Mont Blanc pen. 
  Prime saying, have an ice day.

TV AD - (5 times in one hour on MTV, twice on VH-1 
in the same hour) Frog man looking clown rises

weapon pointed straight ahead at humans that  
don't really exist in this ad. 
  "Someday at a job interview they'll ask you,  
'Have you ever killed one of your teammates by

  A whole squad rises out behind you looking like  
Paula Abdul choreographed them, weapons straight

PRESS RELEASE: 
The following is a press release that NAMA has received  
from Canyon Records regarding TWO GRAMMY AWARD NOMINATIONS  
FOR R. CARLOS NAKAI. 
  This marks the second consecutive year a Native American  
artist has received a Grammy nomination (Robbie Robertson  
was last year's Grammy nominee) from NARAS, and the third  
consecutive time R. Carlos Nakai has received a Grammy 
nomination: 

PHOENIX, AZ (January 6, 2000)  --  R. Carlos Nakai (Navajo-Ute)  
is the first Native American to receive Grammy Award nominations  
for two different albums in the same year.  And in a rare  
occurrence, both fall into the same category "Best New Age Album." 
  Recognized as the world’s premier performer of the Native American 
flute, the Flagstaff, Arizona, native received the nominations  
for a solo effort, "Inner Voices"  
  http://www.canyonrecords.com/cr7021.htm 
and "Inside Monument Valley"  
  http://www.canyonrecords.com/cr7020.htm 
a collaboration with one of the pioneers of New Age music, flutist  
Paul Horn. "Inner Voices" features Nakai’s traditional native  
flute accompanied by a 32-piece string orchestra.  The recording  
features arrangements of Nakai’s most popular melodies by two-time  
Grammy Award-winner, Billy Williams, who produces Lyle Lovett’s  
recordings.  Williams produced another of this year’s Grammy  
nominees, "That’s Right (You’re Not From Texas)" by Lovett,  
for Best Male Country Vocal Performance. 
  Nakai collaborated with two-time Grammy Award-winner Paul  
Horn on "Inside Monument Valley".  Nakai and Horn traveled  
to Monument Valley in the heart of Navajoland where they  
recorded flute solos and duets live in the canyons to the  
accompaniment of the sounds of nature. 
  This is Nakai’s third Grammy nomination.  He garnered  
his first in 1994 in Best Traditional Folk Music category  
for "Ancestral Voices", a collaboration with William Eaton  
and the Black Lodge Singers. These multiple Grammy nominations  
signify a greater acceptance of Native American artists and  
their music in mainstream culture. 
  A resident of Tucson, Arizona, Nakai has released over 30  
albums since beginning his career in 1983 with Canyon Records,  
an independent record company based in Phoenix.  Canyon released  
both Inner Voices and Inside Monument Valley and has specialized  
in contemporary and traditional Native American music for 49  
years.

WASHINGTON, Jan 13 (PAWN) - Michael Jackson has cloned the 
first primate, a rhesus monkey, according to the latest issue  
of Scientology magazine. 
  The baby, dubbed Tetrus, was cloned using a method that  
splits Cher's "G below high C" with it's "fifth" and its  
"third" - the original harmony in a recording studio to  
create multiple identical songs, officials at the Hit  
Factory said. 
  "The birth of Tetrus, a healthy female cloned from a  
quarter-note, proves that this approach can result in 
live music," says Pamela Anderson, the study's main  
author. 

UNLIKELY INTERNET-CABLE DAD EXPOSED 
(PAWN) - Wollyhood, CA - Putting a stop to any 
further speculation who fathered his 2 children, 
America-On-Meth CFO Steven Chase will announce in 
Next month's Rolling Home magazine that it was 
Jane Fondu. She stole the spermatazoa from two gay 
Jesuit Priestesses and brought it in a buffaloskin 
sack to Ted Turntable who then called Erich Eisener 
who volunteered to insert half into the butt of AOM's  
Chase, and saved the other half in a refrigerator 
for the baby's second birthday - so that AOM's  
newest might be concieved in time for DisneyWarner- 
LambertSquibb's next official announcement. 
  When asked how he kept it a secret for 5 whole 
years, Chase said, "Sheer luck." 
  "Oh," he added, "and tons of money." 
  Chase said he expects to LAY OFF for a while. Then 
back to rigorous exercise of perhaps 50-60 former 
employees a day. 
  "That's a lot of reps," he said "I've still got a 
lot of luck and of course, tons of money."

APPEAL TO THE MASS MEDIA 
  translated by: Joan Beecher Eichrodt 
  As we have learned from reliable sources, as well as  
from secret FSB documents, the Russian leadership planned  
to have an information blockade in place before launching  
full-scale military operations in the Chechen Republic.  
It was to ensure that the Chechen people could be annihilated  
without interference. Unfortunately, the FSB's plan was 
realized - but not in full.  Thanks to the courage and the  
valor of foreign journalists, what was hidden was revealed,  
and as a result many of the Chechen people were saved. Now  
that military operations have resumed in Chechnya, and Russia  
is ready to use any means, to pay any price, to get revenge  
for its defeat in the war of 1994-96, foreign journalists are  
again a stumbling block for the Russian leadership... 
  ...What has particularly aroused our concern and alarm is  
the fact that the statements of Russian leaders have now been  
echoed by the US Government, which has warned American foreign 
correspondents of the danger they are in when they visit Chechnya 
in particular, and the North Caucasus in general.  As we know, 
even in the past the Chechen Republic and the North Caucasus were 
not a great place for foreign correspondents, but we still do not 
understand what at this particular time has inspired top officials 
in Russia and the United States to intimidate them with warnings 
and threats... 
  ...The absence of foreign journalists has made it possible  
for the Russian leadership to step up the war again and to  
carry out a mass genocide of the Chechen people. At this  
stage of the war, the absence of foreign journalists makes  
it possible for the Russian leadership to employ, without  
interference, hitherto unused weapons of mass destruction,  
which could lead to the total disappearance of the Chechens  
as an ethnic group. 
  Therefore we urge foreign journalists not to leave the  
Chechen Republic or the North Caucasus, under any pretext. 
  Journalists! 
  Do not let yourselves be small change in politicians' 
dirty hands; do not allow anyone to confuse your profession, 
that of the truth-teller, with the oldest profession; do not  
sell yourselves. 
  On the eve of the new millennium we must declare that the  
courage and truthfulness of journalists will save mankind,  
an inseparable part of which is the Chechen people! 
  May the ALMIGHTY preserve you! 
  Maeirbek Taramov 
  Chairman, Union of Journalists of the Caucasus

  "I saw a video tape that we weren't supposed to see.  
It was prepared for the Joint Chiefs of Staff. By watching  
the tape, we discovered that, at least as of a few years ago 
every tactical nuclear weapon in Europe manned by US personnel  
was targeted by an Apple II computer. Now, we didn't sell  
computers to the military; they went out and bought them at  
a dealer's I guess. But it dind't make us feel good to know 
that our computers were being used to target nuclear weapons  
in Europe."

The land goes unowned, but def'nit'ly respected 
What's down in the ground stays DOWN IN THE GROUND.

You might spot some shiny old ancient ones work 
Well best thing to do's pick it up and look at it 
But please put it back where you found it on the dirt.

OUR MISSION YOUR FUTURE: A Real Look At Taco Bell. 
   in 3 parts by the Prime Anarchist 

"Most energizing place to work." 
   "Up to $7 per hour." 
 "Need Motivated people." 
   Taco Bell's hiring. They're always hiring, aren't they? 
Will they ever not? Not on this growth model, pal.  
   Let's take a look at all that is Taco Bell. I mean a  
real in-depth look. Don't just scratch the surface. Dig some. 
What do we find?  
   Most of them are shaped like what? Like a southwestern 
mission. 1.3% of the world's population has a job shooting 
gooey green guacamole-substance (tm) out of a grouting gun  
at a Taco Bell near you!

(CON'T FROM LAST ISSUE) 

Even nations may in this manner be taught their most  
enduring lessons, and precisely at those times when  
they are preening themselves on those great qualities  
before which goes the fall. Some day, when man has  
risen from the status of Homo sap to that of Homo  
sapiens, the worst kinds of individual conflicts  
and wars between nations will be fought not with  
the destructive power of armaments but with the  
constructive power of words, by the force of  
argument rather than by the argument of force.  
To a certain extent this has already been recognized 
by many societies. In every society those men are  
most admired who turn the tables upon their adversaries 
by the art and virtuosity of their words rather than by  
the resort to violence. 

Don't You Push Me Down

Don't you push me, push me, push me 
Don't you push me down (repeat)

You can play with me, you can hold my hand 
We can skip together down to the pretzel man 
You can wear my mommy's shoe, wear my daddy's hat 
You can even laugh at me, but don't you push me down - No! 

C F C F / G7 - - C :// 

You can play with me, we can build a house 
You can take my ball & bounce it up & down 
You can take my skates & ride them all around  
You can even get mad at me, but don't... 

You can play with me, we can play all day 
And you can use my dishes if you'll put them away 
You can feed me apples & oranges & plums 
And you can even wash my face, but don't you...

We End This Zine With a Poem by 
Larry J titled: THE JAZZ HURTS 

There’s a moment 
Between the notes 
Between the keys 
Where you have to 
Hold your breath 
And this ragged sharpness 
Digs into diaphragm 
And heart 
The jazz hurts 

 
ABOUT THE TYPE. 
This 'zine was set in Konetiuk, a typeface designed by 
the Yiddish poet Kudzu, and cut by the Gannett Corp 
between 1928 and 1930. Konetiuk is a contemporary face 
of original design, without any prior buyout agreements. 
Except AmericaOnTime, 1926. The shapes of exclamation 
points are derived from the famous Marilyn Monroe  
pointy evening gown. The larger display sizes are  
extremely elegant and serve a perfect and supple form 
lending easily to [font size], [blink] and [img src].
