It'll be smaller than the other two because I didn't get a lot of information from reido about any backstage happenings. He's been so busy. I beg any of you to try and get him fired. That'd be sooo awesome ... Seriously though, I hope you enjoy this edition. Hard work was still thrown into it. THROWN LIKE A FOX. -Carpainter /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ LATEST SM.NET NEWS - \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ NEW FORUM Sometime in the next little while, Starmen.Net will be officially moving to their new forum. There are plenty of mixed reactions, but come on people ... you can get used to anything. Personally, I don't think it's all that bad. STAFF UPDATES The following people have sworn to update more, and I couldn't be happier. These staff members include ... Pi (SSBM), PappyCat (Articles), and AmzRigh (EB Zero). Falcon states that him and Mikey will also continue to rule in mailbag, and Sephy made it clear that he doesn't have a job. /\/\/\/\/ INTERVIEW - \/\/\/\/\ The interview this week is with MikeTheEBGuru of mailbag glory! "You aren't getting off that easy. Come here, ya lug. *huggles*" -MikeTheEBGuru Carpainter: Congratulations, Michael! Carpainter: Or Micheal. Carpainter: YOU ARE THE SECRET INTERVIEWEE THIS WEEK FOR NEWSLETTER! Mike: What. Mike: *Michael Mike: *Mike Mike: *Mikhail Carpainter: Recess is such a great show. Carpainter: Now, we must begin with the question I ask every week ... Carpainter: Is "Interviewee" a word? Mike: Sure *was*. Mike: Key word being was. Mike: It is now. Carpainter: Awesome. Carpainter: Now, let's talk about our plans to take over Starmen.Net via EVOLUTION. Feel free to go into detail. Mike: Evolution is an idea I've been toying around with for about a year, and I continue to toy around with it. The idea itself evolves. But, basically, I think that cliques work. And as time goes by and Evolution gets stronger, we'll see that. Mike: But what about you, No Show Jones? Carpainter: Hey, watch your mouth. I blame communism as always. Carpainter: Not to mention that I'm DYING A HORRIBLE DEATH. Mike: Blame Canada. And SimonBob. That bum's got no class and no shame. Carpainter: I think I know what you're referring to. Carpainter: Would it have something to do with the Falcon comment we witnessed on the boards? Mike: Sure. I have no reason to pull any punches, and face it, it's about entertainment. You know I've given it all to Newsletter, babe. Carpainter: Definitely. Carpainter: I've come to realize that I am nothing but a gimmick. Carpainter: Online and real life. Carpainter: It's all for entertainment. Carpainter: Boy, I need a ginger ale. Mike: We all are. It's making your gimmick well-rounded and balanced that's the hard part. A well-rounded guy draws in all types of people. I take that into mind when I do Mailbag. Falc and I are quite different people, but we use that to benefit the Mailbag itself. Entertainment from tweaking our gimmicks. Mike: Coca-Cola, dude. Carpainter: Coke will hurt my stomach. Carpainter: I'm in a lot of pain, but still working on Newsletter. Ohhh yeeaaahh. Mike: Ohhh yeeaaahh? Easy there, Kool-Aid. Carpainter: I sound the Macho Man. Carpainter: Maybe I should do a rap album. Mike: I'd but it over Rock Candy. Is that more great controversy for you? Mike: *buy even Carpainter: Sure. Carpainter: Considering Rock Candy was free. ;) Carpainter: Oh no. I used a smiley in an interview. Mike: Speak for yourself, Jabroni. I've yet to land that baby, but give me a break. A compilation rap cd featuring the voices of Starmen.net? Come on, pranksta, that's just good thugganomics. Carpainter: Remember the Scotty rap? Carpainter: At least, I think it was Scotty. Carpainter: That was hilarious. Mike: That was a joke. Just wait until The Mike gets a mic. I'll have more streamlined funk blasting passed your crummy PC speakers than whatever junk's on your playlist now. Mike: All self-promotion aside, yes, that was quite funny. Carpainter: Great stuff. Carpainter: So done any EarthBoundy stuff lately? Mike: I'm really glad you asked that. You see, I just wrapped a play. Out of that play, I've become quite inspired to do EarthBoundy stuff. The usual; fics, articles, and another save file for the rest of Fall and presumably Winter. Mike: Other than that, I can finally say I work at the World's best EarthBound website. And that's always cooler than cool. Mike: And you know what's cooler than being cool. Carpainter: ENC? Carpainter: ... Oh yeah. Carpainter: LOL. I forgot we worked for Starmen.Net. Carpainter: Oh boy. I'm in trouble now. Mike: You wouldn't be the first. Carpainter: ENC rules though. Carpainter: I can't wait to get more time so I can submit stuff again. Mike: ENC is the most original EarthBound site ever. Carpainter: (For all of you confused, ENC can be found at http://www.ebipm.net/enc) Carpainter: Unintentional plug though. Carpainter: Should be fine. Carpainter: Have you visited the new forums yet? Mike: And in a world of "It's all been done", ENC is a shining example of what more aspiring webmasters should be doing. Mike: Not only have I visited the new forums, but I screwed up my avatar, got Skulsy a bit upset at me, and have been confused about something new no fewer than three times. Mike: Growing pains, brotha. Carpainter: You had an avatar though ... Carpainter: The gamecube thing. Mike: A beauty. However, since it didn't fit the new requirements, I had a new, makeshift one made that I tested. Little did I know, that testing caused an admin to slap it on as my normal avatar. It was all just one big misunderstanding, and I'll *hopefully* be going back to the Cube soon without having an admin going all stone cold mad. You dig? Carpainter: Awesome. Carpainter: I dig extremely well. Carpainter: But I call my electric company before I do. Mike: Don't steal my thunder, Mean Gene. Carpainter: Okieday. Carpainter: Well, I'm about to pass out ... (Seriously) so I should end this interview right where we are. Carpainter: Thank you for taking the time to do whatever we just did. Mike: You aren't getting off that easy. Mike: Come here, ya lug. Mike: *huggles* Carpainter: Aww.

These past few weeks have SUCKED ROYALLY. I never thought I'd do another rant for the newsletter, but people have been requesting them. So ... here we are. Remember the girl I spoke of? Close friends knew I never stopped speaking of her. Well, it's over due to a misunderstanding. What sucks the most? She said we'd remain friends, and I've been ignored for the past two weeks. What sort of demented friendship is that? Oh well. School has been all right. Other than the fact that our WHOLE ENTIRE TOWN has some flu. Noone will be immune. I got the flu from my sister, and I had a mid-term one day, so I had to go. I passed it, but I think t'was a fluke. I also went to school yesterday just so I could play Volleyball. I was shaking, waiting for the girls' practice to be over, (Irony, the girl I spoke of plays there) and many parents were taking pity on me. What makes me angry is that my coach asks me if I want to play. (No, I went to school so I could sit on the bench.) I had some good hits, and yet I still had to sit off 2 out of 4 sets. I could quote him ... "Ian, you're playing this set to give Randy a break." "I didn't want a break ..." "We want you to be rested up for the playoff game." "That's a week and a half from now!" Regardless, I wasn't too pleased. Well, there is my rant for this edition. Take pity on me. Bake me some cookies. Schlater Days!
