64. Refer to 5 song titles by a band of your choice, without acknowledging this or making it nonsensical.


I sent a letter to Mega-zine today, but I am not sure it is good at-all.
It is 15 song titles.

:-[


Oh gosh - it was not printed at-all. I am sorry it is pretty silly and muddled.

Once Upon A Time...

To Ava, adore, in the arms of sleep,
Behold! The nightmare...I really want to go to Cherub Rock tonght, tonght - it is really beautiful! But I am too scared. It is where boys fear to tread, I think - Lots of terrible monsters hide in the trees. They sing creepy quiet songs, and ode to no one, and scream tales of a scorched earth. It is a perfect horror! Oh gosh - I am sorry it is really horrid - it is a tiny story.
Farewell and goodnight,
Love (and muffins), by starlight, from Little Blue Fox and Porcelina of the Vast Oceans.

Once upon a time.

To Ava, adore in the arms of sleep. Behold! The nightmare... I really want to go to Cherub Rock tonight, tonight, it is really beautiful! But I am too scared. It is where boys fear to tread, I think; lots of terrible monsters hide in the trees. They sing creepy quiet songs, an ode to no one, and scream tales of a scorched earth, it is a perfect horror! Oh gosh, I am sorry it is really horrid, it is a tiny story.

Strawberry’s letter was printed.

Page Three.

'Ziner Lionel Richie songs.

- Endless Love - The Psychedelic Gloom (because Gloomy is a long time 'Ziner).
- Hello - The Mad Scheduler (a bit scary).
- Dancing On the Ceiling - Elden Ray (weird, witty and one of the best).
- Closest Thing To Heaven - One Winged Angel (for obvious reasons).

Aphra The Post-modern Spy, Hector's House.

Surely at least one 'Ziner could have qualified for Easy.

80. Write a letter (not short) that uses the word "obtuse" every six words.


Strawberry's letter was printed...

Page Five.

...of absolutely no use.

Sometimes penguins can be so obtuse,
dancing in the midnight sky, so obtuse.
They're black, white cold and obtuse,
but even though they are obtuse,
they are very special and obtuse.
There aren't many rhymes for obtuse,
so I'll just keep saying obtuse.
I love penguins, although they're obtuse.

Juicy Strawberry, Hector's House.

So, to sum up - penguins: nice but dim.

106. Write a letter about why you think David Icke is right about the world being run by lizards.

Well, I'll see if I can arrange that with WLW after Hallozeen, if he thinks it's a good idea too.
It'd take some figuring out, though.

Anyone seen granny?

Did you hear that, Ziners? No, little gummy worm. I don't know where your grandmother is. Yes, I'm sure that she is in Heaven or wherever it is that good gummy worms go. (I think Wormy's grandmother might be in someone's tummy. But I'm keeping that to myself.)
Squashed Strawberry, Hector's House.

She's not in this giraffe's tummy. As a veggie, grannies and worms are off the menu - even gummy ones.

g. Use the phrase "If Santa thinks a couple of candy canes is going to make up for *that*, he is very much mistaken".


Strawberry's letter was printed...

Page Five.

Fan mail?

I usually get great presents from Santa. But he sent a letter saying he can't afford presents due to the credit crunch and can only give me coal and sprouts. But he said I could be one of his elves and deliver Mondo's presents and fan mail. So he gets cool presents and I don't? Hmph! If Santa thinks a couple of candy canes is going to make up for *that*, he is very much mistaken.

Aphra The Post-modern Spy.

Can I have the sprouts and mail? I'm planning an elaborate practical joke.

62. Use the phrase "The first rule of Chess Club is you do not talk about Chess Club".
104. Please can you write a letter about all your childhood was really horrible and disturbing because your parents muddled Santa and Satan always.


Special knock. Password.

I entered the dingy mobile classroom. "First rule of Chess Club is you do not talk about Chess Club". I nodded. "Second rule is do not call the Knight a 'horsey'". I nodded. "Cheque, mate." I gave my fee. I donned my Pawn helmet and faced my opponent. A Rook. Typical. I stood diagonally adjacent to him then gave an immense slide-tackle.

Vigilante Maelstrom.

URA Vigilante. You ever considered entering Backgammon retreat Incl: J**** C****? Could be your thing?

---

Satan Clause comes to town.

When I was little, my parents used to get Santa and Satan mixed up, which was a bit weird and disappointing. Instead of singing carols, we used to sing Black Sabbath songs. And instead of leaving out mince pies, we used to leave out goats and blood. Fortunately, they eventually realised the difference and Christmas was better after that. I'm still scared of Santa, though.

Smashed Strawberry, Hector's House.

Who's to say Ozzy Osbourne isn't actually Santa? Wait, is that libel?

89. If 'Ziners were video games consoles.


Colin's letter was printed...

Page One.

If 'Ziners Were Consoles.

- WLW - Mega Drive - Old Reliable.
- Mondo - Atari ST 520 - Older, less reliable.
- Colonial Foot Soldier - Game Boy - Battle-damaged, somewhat green.
- Qwerty - Laptop - Suitable for office work.
- Daddypoos - DS - Touchy and two-faced.
- Paddy Irishman - Dreamcast - Great for four players.

Vigilante Maelstrom (PS2 - Actually Belongs To My Girlfriend).

Impressive...not a Wii pun in sight.

Short of something.

Angsty battle commandos don't enjoy fighting.
Getting home involves joyriding Korean lawnmowers.
Memories now, of perfect Quorn roasts.
Troops utilising Vivaldi, whilst xylophoning your zebras.

Menome.

Silly slip-up spotted.

I made lots of tiny tiny challenges - please can you try to write lots of Challenges Words in all your letters...

*Tiny Challenges...

a. Vampire.

d. Paradoxically.
e. Malevolent.
f. Eerie.
g. Sunshine.

Please can you quote all the tiny challenges you really want to do.
Also, please can you make a new challenge for everyone when your letter is printed on Mega-zine. - It is like a reward, I think!

I am sorry it is really silly and muddled.
Please does anyone want to do any of the challenges at-all?
I hope it is a cool idea.

72. Write a letter requesting to be employed in Teletext Towers.


Menome's letter was printed...

Page Two.

Dear Teletext.

I write to apply for the job of "Teletext page-killer" on a permanent basis. I have already offed the likes of Digitiser by writing in a few weeks before it stopped, and now, if rumours are true, I may have done the same to Mega-Zine. In this climate, you can't risk having a non-professional in your office closing down pages, and I feel I'd do well at removing Have Your Say, the horoscopes, and horse-racing news.

Menome.

Want Bamber Boozler's address?

93. Write a letter that mentions Pablo Marmite twice.


Strawberry's letter was printed.

Page Three.

'Zine!

This poem is full of bright and sight,
just like Pablo Marmite.
And this poem is full of delight,
just like Pablo Marmite.
For he may not be as punny as Paddy Irishman,
but he is as brave as Supergran.
I hope you liked the Easter eggs, WLW,
tell me: why does Davord keep saying Moo?

Squashed Strawberry, Hector's House.

Moo-ving on up, moo-ving on out, time to break free, nothing can stop him!

Although it finished (which breaks my heart), there was an alternative Zine on VR recently. So there must be another version of this Alterna-Zine again.
