'HANDS ACROSS LIECHTENSTEIN'
RAISES $30 FOR LIECHTENSTEIN CHARITIES
VADUZ, LIECHTENSTEIN--Citizens of
the tiny European principality of Liechtenstein turned out in full force
Saturday to participate in "Hands Across Liechtenstein," a special fund-raising
event that raised more than $30 for Liechtenstein charities. Nearly 150 citizens
joined hands in a line that stretched from one end of the country to the other,
forming a human chain one-and-a-half football fields long. "This is a great
achievement and an inspiring tribute to the great spirit of our people,"
Liechtenstein's Prince Hans Adam II said. "I can barely see the end of the line
from where I stand." The $30 raised will go toward helping Liechtenstein's 12
homeless citizens, as well as its AIDS victim.
TAMMYS OF THE WORLD DEMAND
TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
UNITED NATIONS--In a historic
United Nations summit Tuesday, the world's 178,000 Tammys convened to demand
that they be treated with the same respect afforded the world's approximately
5.1 billion non-Tammys. "Tammy discrimination has been ignored for too long, and
it's high time we took action," said summit organizer Tammy Mugler, 24, an
assistant manager at an Atlanta-area Orange Julius. "Do you realize that in the
entire history of the United States, no Tammy has ever been elected to federal
office?" Tammy Halford, 38, a Vienna, VA, data-entry clerk, said: "As soon as
people hear my name, they start to make assumptions about me. The Christines and
Helens of the world don't know how good they have it." The world's Heidis
expressed support for the summit.
FANS BEG AEROSMITH TO GO
BACK ON DRUGS
LOS ANGELES--A national coalition
of Aerosmith fans, frustrated by the weak, power-ballad-filled mediocrity of
such recent Aerosmith albums as Get A Grip and Pump, has collected
three million signatures on a petition imploring the veteran rock quintet to
return to drug addiction. "We, the united fans of Aerosmith," the petition read
in part, "plead with you to resume the type of liberal use of heroin and cocaine
that fueled kick-ass albums like 1976's Rocks and classic tunes like
'Back In The Saddle.' We would additionally like to see a marked increase in
alcohol abuse, particularly from one-time 'Toxic Twin' Joe Perry, who,
regrettably, has not had a monster riff since 1980."
AREA MAN BUSTS HIS ASS ALL
DAY, AND FOR WHAT?
DE KALB, IL--It was learned Monday
that Ted Moseley, a 34-year-old De Kalb-area construction worker, hauls ass 10,
12 hours a day for his sonofabitch boss, and for what? The report, to be
published in full in next Thursday's New York Times, will tell you what:
so his skank old lady can spend his hard-earned $6.75 an hour on a $450 vacuum
cleaner, and to pay for the neighbor's mailbox that his snot-nosed kid busted.
Why Moseley puts up with this shit could not be adequately explained by the
report.
