The attached pic is of Just Joe and Arthur meeting for the first time...

Recaps from Fire Eater Wizard...

On The Metallic Onslaught: No Shoebox. No Jeffie either, as he attempted to
attend the Plank Boy's final concert in this area for awhile. However,
Jeffie being Jeffie, he apparently got confused and thought one of the
opening bands were The Plank boys, and thus left early and never saw The
Plank Boys. So, I guess the band lucked out :) I'm sure we will hear all
about it from Jeffie this week... Since Rick left early, a good deal of the
show was only Joe and Lance (I just wrote Just Joe and Lance, and then
realized that could be confusing as Just Joe is on Last Exit and
occasionally visits MO, so I changed it to "only" Joe to make it clear that
I mean the old Joe). :) So, Joe and Lance were talking and apparently a new
feature for MO was born. Lance was demonstrating his death metal vocal
abilities, and then moved on to doing 80's pop songs as death metal covers.
Joe was cracking up over this, and kept requesting different songs for Lance
to try. They said this could become a weekly feature..They asked the
listeners to e-mail in requests for songs that they would like for Lance to
do in death/black metal fashion, and that each week they would choose what
they thought was the best request... They called it Death Metal Karaoke
Corner... So, we shall have to see how that goes...

On The Last Exit: It was the 3rd of 4 10th anniversary shows and another
extremely busy, crowded and chaos filled show. Just Joe and The Penguin were
there (Just Joe had apparently recovered from being dead / a zombie the week
before). Also, Arthur made a return after an absence of several months. His
last appearence was when he clicked the button on his time machine back in
November and disappeared. He had apparently been a few other places and
times before arriving on Last Exit again. At the orders of Azkath, Just Joe
promptly smashed the time machine to pieces, which Arthur was not at all
happy about. Later they had Arthur build a snooze button for Just Joe which
could be attached to his head and, when pressed, would render him
unconscious for a time. He would carry out commands given to him, like
"molest the Penguin", then they would snooze him to see if it works. It
also worked on whoever they placed the snooze button on. There was much
brawling and stabbing people with forks going on. In edition to all of this,
There were three, yes, three(!) bands on the show! First up Andy from
Haunted By Angels came on to talk about their new CD "Season Of Death",
which is now available at their web site www.hauntedbyangels.com. They're a
great band, and you should all check that out if you haven't already! (they
will also be on MO this week to talk about their CD and Their CD release
concert this Saturday). Next up was a band That Arthur brought up with him
from somewhere in the future (or so he claimed). They were called Saraphim.
We got to hear one of their songs (that was all Arthur brought with him) and
they were breifly interviewed. They were cool. Finally, late in the night,
The Plank Boys (www.Plankboys.com) stopped by for a final interview for
awhile as they are moving to New York City. They are an awesome band as
well, and they told us their new CD is done. We got to hear music from all
of the bands who were on the show. They rocked! Crappy The Clown was
supposed to be on this show, but he said he would not be there after all (he
said it was because Arthur was there, and he does not like Arthur
apparently). :) However, Crappy will be on this coming weeks show...It will
be the 4th and final 10th anniversary special show. And, it's also Crappy's
birthday, so, it will be a birthday bash for him. And who knows who/what
else will show up and what surprises will be in store...We will have to wait
and see. I am really looking forward to it!

******************************************************************
Yes, so what is up for this week. Jeffie will be back to The Metallic
Onslaught. No one has yet told him that he missed The Plank Boys. He saw
the band before them, Rebel, I think it was, and was one of the only ones
rocking out to them, then, he bolted when they were done. I'm sure The
Onslaught crew will have fun picking on him about that. Although he did say
that he made a new friend and may bring him to The Onslaught with him this
week as well. And, as F.E.W. said above, Haunted by Angels, or some of them
at least will be there. Jeffie was not there last time they were there for
some reason, so this may be their first on-air meeting. I do believe that
he has been to some of their shows though. Yeah, so that should be
interesting....

Crappy The Clown (www.crappytheclown.com) will be at this week's Last Exit,
which will also be his birthday. Should be interesting. i guess it's good
that he wasn't there last week, as we found out that Jeremy from The Plank
Boys is scared to death of clowns... Wait, maybe that would have been MORE
fun. What was I thinking. Also, some of the strange questions that I have
been asking bands are from www.theinsanedomain.com. Jeffie has a copy of
them as well to use for whatever he may like. There is also Sock Monkey
Porn on that site, much to Shoebox's dismay. So this will be the 4th 10th
anniversary show this week. The final one. Hopefully it will be as
memorable as the last 3.

Also, new on the webpage is the Review section. There will be new reviews
posted, hopefully, regularly. I believe that I updated something else, but
I don't know what...

Oh, and a last quote from The Insane Domain main page -
TheInsaneDomain.com - Where insanity runs rampant and so can you.
This truly insane website has been around since 1996, providing the world
with lists like 'realistic barbies', insane articles about shopping bags,
choose your own adventure stories, how to kill your Sims and strange
interviews with various people. The most popular section is Ask DC, where a
sock monkey answers almost any question you can come up with. The Ask DC
section alone holds over 45 pages of questions, with each page averaging a
100k or more file size. Now receiving over 3 million yearly visitors,
TheInsaneDomain.com content continues to grow, with almost daily updates and
additions. There is certainly enough here to keep anyone happily amused for
hours.

Check it out, it's fun...

SOME LAST WORDS FROM Mr. Downstairs

The End is Now - www.mrdownstairs.com

Hey all.. We wanna send out a giant shout of gratitude to everybody that
came to the CD release party this Friday, and to those that already bought
the new Mr.Downstairs album 'be all | end all' - you guys rock! Thanks for
all the good times and support!! We had a blast, and the apartment's still
in one piece, though we wish we could say the same about the liquor shelf!
So thanks for making it happen...

We have some good news for anybody who misses our live shows. Because all of
you won't ever get a chance to see us play live again, we will be posting
the last show that Mr.Downstairs ever played online for everyone to
experience. It's from a Rochester show we played in September of 2002 with
Aaron, and with a couple of songs from 'be all | end all' thrown in there.
We wish we had gotten to play some shows with Mike, so that everyone could
see how much ass he kicks, but he'll be in another band someday soon. This
show is 7 songs long, full of action, and goes by quickly! I know, it's not
quite the same as a real smokey, loud, sweaty show... but just crank the
bitch, turn on full-screen mode, and have a drink -- We might just be live
enough to put you there. If you watch closely, you may even see when Brian's
screaming fried a microphone during our performance of Mindless! Modem users
are invited too... go check it out now!

Right now Aaron is in Los Angeles, programming war games and getting things
rolling for ex-native band Five Pound Opinion. Dan is heading to the
University of Oregon for a Masters in Business to start a career in
alternative energies, perhaps producing bands in the meantime. Brian is
heading to Orlando to figure out what steps he needs to take in order to
take over the world - or at the very least, change it. Anthony will be
continuing to make music, while modifying and creating guitar amplifiers
with Voodoo Amps here in Ithaca. And Mike is currently movin' on up in the
working world as a landscaping manager, while pursuing a promising music
project to take him to the next level. Mr.Downstairs is now history, and you
were very much a part of all of it. We'll continue to let you know about any
happenings with the band, the website, and what band members will be up to
in the future. At least a couple of us will be sta rting our own websites
shortly, where you can keep tabs on what will most likely be our
crash-courses of content. We'll continue to stock our CD's in the Ithaca
record store, SoundsFine, and all of our music and merchandise will be
eternally available on CDStreet.com. The Mr.Downstairs website will always
be up and running, and will continue to be updated over the next several
weeks. We'll also continue to get your emails via the website, if you ever
wanna say hey or ask questions. You're in the Mr.Downstairs family now, just
like us. Let a new chapter begin!

For all the blood, sweat, beers, tears, and years - we salute you. Thanks
everybody.

Until next time...

HIGHROLLER STUDIOS TO RELEASE BAD LUCK 13 DVD
(June 14, 2004)

Few bands have raised as many eyebrows and gained such a cult following as
THE BAD LUCK 13 RIOT EXTRAVAGANZA. Having released 5 albums, as well as
being banned in as many states, they are simply icons in the hardcore scene.
Hailing from the mean streets of Philadelphia, PA, THE BAD LUCK 13 RIOT
EXTRAVAGANZA bring the city's toughness to the stage, delivering antics
ranging from fire breathing to homemade weapons with nails and barbed wire.
This band is no joke.

To document the band's incredible live performances and overall energy,
director Joe Frantz (H.I.M., CKY, Viva La Bam) was enlisted. The result, a
VHS release of "Let The Riot Begin," was nothing short of great, capturing
THE BAD LUCK 13 RIOT EXTRAVAGANZA perfectly. Having now sold over 2000
copies, it has come time that a DVD version be released by HighRoller
Studios. This new version includes extra features such as band commentary, a
Classic Show Archive with 4 full sets, a short animation for the song
"Pussycow" created by the animator responsible for Ren & Stimpy, the
"Homicidal" bootleg video, and more.

THE BAD LUCK 13 RIOT EXTRAVAGANZA are simply one of those bands everyone
needs to see and with the release of this DVD, their insanity can be enjoyed
in the safety of the viewer's own home.

THE BAD LUCK 13 RIOT EXTRAVAGANZA "Let The Riot Begin" DVD will be released
by HighRoller Studios on August 24th, 2004.

Many years ago a farmer stomped a rattlesnake to death with
his boot. A couple of days later, the farmer died. The man's
son then wore the boots, and he also died. The farmer's
grandson was then given the boots; when he too grew into
them, he also died. Finally, the grandson's mother found a
fang of the rattler in the sole of one of the boots.

To be initiated into a gang in California during the
Christmas season, potential members must abduct someone and
wrap them from head to toe in wrapping paper. Then they are
required to lock the victim in the trunk of their own car.

An MIT student spent his summer going to the Harvard foot-
ball field wearing a striped shirt, whereupon he blew a
whistle and threw birdseed. When it came time for the first
football game, the referee walked onto the field, blew the
whistle - and was descended upon by a flock of birds. The
game had to be delayed for half an hour.

A sheriff was passing a farm one day when he saw a man
standing on the side of the road yelling, "Pig! Pig! Pig!"
The cop became angry and began to yell back, "Redneck! Red-
neck! Redneck!" Seconds later, the cop ran right into the
redneck's prize pig.

When a couple arrived at their hotel room, they noticed a
gruesome stench. They called the front desk, and house-
keeping came up to clean the room. Later that night, the
couple woke up because the smell had come back. The man
thought it was coming from the bed, so he pulled the sheets
off - and found a dead body that had been stuffed in the
mattress.

A man from a small town in Kentucky had refused to cut his
hair for over 30 years. One day he finally decided to get it
cut. After the barber started to cut his hair, the man
screamed and ran off. His wife later found him dead at home.
The coroner found that when the barber had tried to cut his
hair, he had hit a nest of red-backed spiders that began to
bite the man, eventually killing him.

---------------- A Breathtaking Experience -----------------

MISSOURI - Attention: Garden equipment should not be used as
a breathing apparatus. This warning comes after a man almost
drowned Monday morning when he used a garden hose as a
breathing tube and jumped into Longview Lake with a 20-pound
anchor tied to his waist. According to the Missouri Water
Patrol, the man had dropped his keys in the water and was
desperately trying to retrieve them. After one failed
attempt, he went down again and this time lost both the
garden hose and his breath. A person above the surface
noticed something was wrong and pulled the man out with a
rope. He was unresponsive for a brief period but then began
breathing on his own again. He refused medical treatment.

------------- These Crooks Have A Screw Loose --------------

If you're going to go through the trouble of breaking into a
shed, you might as well steal what's inside. Or you could
just steal the screws from the doors like one group of
burglars did. Police are confused as to why the thieves have
been breaking into sheds to steal only the screws. They even
ignored cans of beer stacked in one shed in favor of the
screws. The contents of another shed weren't even touched
except for the door being off the hinges. Pc Graham Kelly,
crime reduction officer, said: "Although we have got used to
burglaries where nothing is stolen, it is unusual for the
burglars to ignore beer in favor of hinge screws." Police
are still trying to catch two suspects in the "tidy shed"
burglaries.

Colombian baby 'stolen from womb'
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/3778663.stm

Colombian baby 'stolen from womb'

Colombian police say they have arrested a woman for stealing an unborn
baby from its mother's womb.

The woman faces charges of drugging the child's mother and leading her
to a house where her womb was cut open.

Police say the operation to remove the eight-month-old foetus may have
been performed with a kitchen knife.

The baby - found with the alleged kidnapper - has been re-united with
its true mother, who had been left for dead in the central town of Girardot.

'Not acting alone'

She managed to summon help, despite bleeding heavily from the surgery.

"When I felt my belly, it was empty," Angela Cartagena told a local
television station from her hospital bed. "And the baby was crying and
crying."

The mother said she remembers seeing the kidnapper leave with her baby
wrapped in cloth.

Police believe the kidnapper was not acting alone and are hunting for
her accomplices.

They arrested their suspect after tests showed a newly-born baby she
claimed as her own was not hers.

Kidnapping is rife in Colombia, mostly carried out for ransom by armed
criminals or soldiers from one of several guerrilla forces fighting the
state.

------------------ Close, But No Porn Star -----------------

WESTON, Conn. - Max Miesel almost had the dream of every
pubescent boy come true for himself. He came thisclose to
bringing a porn star as a date to his prom. Max, a student
at Connecticut's Weston High School, won a date with adult
film actress Tyler Faith on Howard Stern's show Friday.
However, before the day of the dance even arrived, school
officials and Max's parents stepped in and crushed Max's
dream. Weston High Principal Mary Kolek said that bringing
a porn star as a date violates the school's prom guidelines.
Kolek said Max would still be allowed to attend, granted he
bring a more appropriate date.

------------- Noisy Sex 'Ear-itates' Neighbor --------------

STOCKHOLM, Sweden - A woman became so fed up with her neigh-
bors having noisy sex every night that she took her
complaints to an official environmental health committee.
Jon Persson, who works with the local health committee in
Simrishamn, said that the woman was "distressed, angry and
tense all over" because her amorous neighbors make love
loudly almost nightly. It was the first time he could recall
such a complaint being filed in the country. The woman said
that the lovemaking would begin around 10 p.m. and last
until past midnight. She said the lovers' efforts have left
her with tense headaches, cramps and heartburn. "You are my
last hope, please help me," the woman wrote in the
complaint, according to Persson. Persson said his committee
could visit the woman's apartment and measure the noise
levels, but said it might be hard to do that because "we
don't know in advance when the disturbances will occur."

Woman Takes Ride With Alligator on Lap

[Associated Press/AP Online]

PHILADELPHIA - Police stopped a car on the Schuylkill Expressway for an
unsual infraction: alligator possession within city limits. An off-duty
police officer called police when he spotted the alligator poking its nose
out the window of a black BMW, Inspector William Colarulo said Tuesday.
Petey the 3 1/2-foot long alligator was sitting on its owner's lap in the
passenger seat, Colarulo said.

He said the owner, Danya Johnson, 29, of Philadelphia, was "distraught." She
was cited for having an exotic animal within city limits. She is scheduled
to appear in court next month, and could be fined.

Meanwhile, the alligator was in the custody of the Philadelphia Animal Care
and Control Association.

Police found a 2 1/2-foot alligator last July in West Philadelphia, and
Colarulo said he's seen other wildlife, including an emu running down
Roosevelt Boulevard and a Bengal tiger kept in a North Philadelphia
rowhouse. "You can just add this to the annals of wild and bizarre animal
stories in the city," he said.

The skeleton of a man has been found in a Tokyo building 20 years after his
death. The 57-year-old, an employee of the firm that built the apartments,
moved in after the building was vacated. He stopped coming to work 20 years
ago, but no one reported him missing. A 1984 newspaper was found.

Caller: I'm trying to reach nine eleven but my phone doesn't
have an eleven on it.

------------------- A New Hood Ornament --------------------

Norway - A custody dispute led a Hedmark, Norway, man to
take his father-in-law on a wild ride -- with the elderly
man clinging to the hood of the car. The unidentified 42-
year-old man was convicted of displaying frightening or
disturbing behavior Tuesday, the newspaper VG reported. He
was fined about $1,100 for several traffic violations.
Police said the incident began when the man arrived at his
in-laws' home to return his 2-year-old son to his estranged
wife. However, after quarreling on the front porch, the man
jumped back into the car with the child inside and locked
the doors. The father-in-law jumped onto the hood to try and
stop him from leaving with the boy, but the driver sped
away, with the older man desperately gripping the windshield
wipers. Police said the father-in-law withstood sudden
braking and sharp turns, as well as speeds exceeding 30 mph.

--------------- Winnie-the-Pooh's Dream Home ---------------

LAKE WORTH, Fla. - Florida beekeepers this week began
removing an estimated 700,000 honeybees from a Lake Worth,
Fla., home, though the homeowner didn't mind them as house-
mates. Norm Gitzen had put up with the bees for about a
year, and even used their honey to sweeten his coffee. But
when the bees started slipping into the home and stinging
its occupants, it was time to evict them. Gitzen told the
Palm Beach Post the bee swarm was great to watch. "It's
kind of mesmerizing," he said. Yet if the bees were allowed
to stay, the honey could attract rodents and ants, and the
roof could even collapse under the weight of the hives, the
head of the Palm Beach Beekeeper Association said. Bee-
keepers filled four buckets of honey weighing close to 65
pounds Tuesday.

* Adventures with Lubricants: In January, a National Park Service
ranger arrested Marvin Buchanon for drug possession along the
Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina. Buchanon had been
discovered sitting in a truck one evening, naked, covered with baby
oil and with women's underwear at his feet. And in a widely
reported incident in May, Roger Chamberlain, 44, was arrested in
Binghamton, N.Y., after having allegedly smeared 14 containers'
worth of petroleum jelly on nearly every inch of the walls and
furniture of a Motel 6 room (and who was found shortly afterward
at another motel, himself covered with the substance).

* Among the secret British military plans, recently revealed from
classified documents: (1) a huge landmine to be planted during
World War II on the German plains (to prevent the Soviet army
from overreaching), to be kept at a warm, detonatable temperature
by the body heat of thousands of live chickens underground
(according to Britain's National Archives in April), and (2) a post-
World War II plan disclosed in May to equip pigeons as suicide
dive-bombers carrying explosives and biological agents to a
targeted area. (The military said its research showed that homing
pigeons could be tricked via electromagnetic fields into sensing
that their "home" was actually the target area, but pigeon experts
say it is more likely the pigeons would have returned to dive-bomb
Britain.)

symbols in society, and we wanted to put a vaginal one out there."

* Despite the 39-day waiting list for brain operations at the Queens
Medical Center in Nottingham, England, the hospital suspended
neurosurgeon Terence Hope in March (after 18 years' service), not
for substandard work but because he had been accused of taking
extra croutons for his soup in the hospital cafeteria, without paying.
(The suspension was lifted three days later.)

* More Things to Worry About: In February, an unidentified
audience member was led away, still shouting, after attempting to
debate former New York City mayor Rudolph Giuliani at a
University of Oklahoma speech about September 11's effect on the
city; contrary to Giuliani's blaming the attack on al Qaeda, the man
insisted that the culprit was Wal-Mart (Norman, Okla.). And in
May, several senior Japanese women (ages from their 50s through
their 70s) met to discuss the revival of the sport in which they had
once excelled during its heyday, female sumo wrestling, a
gathering that included an exhibition by the 61-year-old Ms.
Mikako Shimada (Mikatsuki, Japan).

Reagan's Death "The Perfect Diversion"
By R.O. Whatley

Washington D.C. - White House officials denied today that President Ronald
Reagan died last week in an effort to divert public attention from scandals
surrounding the Bush administration.

The denials, however, have done little to quell speculation that Reagan, a
loyal Republican whose vice president just happened to be George W. Bush's
father, chose to die at a time when the administration is on the defensive
over Iraq, Bush's connection to a CIA leak, the vice president's alleged aid
to Halliburton, and the resignation of George Tenet.

"Every time this administration is in trouble, somehow - miraculously --
something happens to distract us," said MoveOn.org spokesman Richard Lebbis.

"The truth is, President Reagan has been ill for years. For years. But he
just happens to die now? Isn't that just a little too coincidental?"

Bush's glowing speech on Sunday about his 93-year-old predecessor only
escalated suspicions that the White House was involved. Speaking in France,
where he was observing the anniversary of D-Day, Bush praised Reagan for
having, "the confidence that comes with conviction, the strength that comes
with character, the grace that comes with humility, the humor that comes
with wisdom, and the timing that comes with years on the stage."

White House spokesman Scott McClellan later insisted the president meant to
say "the poise" that comes from years on the stage, but mispronounced it.

While claiming to have no knowledge of Reagan's motives, political analyst
and former Reagan staffer David Gergen said his former boss was always
underestimated. "I'm not saying he purposely did it, but you'd have to say
it's the perfect diversion," Gergen noted. "Probably the only person who
really knows is President Reagan, but by choosing the method of distraction
he did - by dying - he will never be questioned about it."

In Washington, meanwhile, Vice President Dick Cheney chastised reporters who
asked about the Iraqi prison scandal and recent allegations that the vice
president helped former employer Halliburton get a no-bid government
contract. "Now is not the time for petty questions and concerns," Cheney
said. "Now is the time to think only about President Reagan."

The time for petty questions and concerns will return, Cheney added, when
the official mourning period ends: Tuesday, Nov. 2.
