Exit last week...

** Recaps from Fire Eater Wizard **

On The Metallic Onslaught: Shoebox.. Yeah, right :p Everyone was hoping that
Jeffie would take their instructions and show up at 2 A.M. when the show
would be ending...But Jeffie showed up much earlier than that to their great
disappointment. He did say that he had indeed stayed there last week doing a
show all by himself (a show that sounded amazingly like The BBC News). :) He
said though that it wasn't much fun doing the show all alone, that it was
lonely. Lonely? Getting the crap beaten out of you all the time? Only a mind
like Jeffie's could work that way. Lance did not arrive until almost the end
of the show.. Jeffie claimed that this was because Lance had finally
excepted the truth (the according to Jeffie, that is) that his new short
hair sucked, and that thus he was hiding at home until it grew out again..
(actually it was because Lance had been attending a concert.) They told him
it was a good thing for him that Lance wasn't there to hear him say that,
because he would kick his ass.. Jeffie said that was not true and then
discovered that Lance had just arrived. Lance still liked his new look, but
told Jeffie that, although he had done a good job with the haircut, he still
sucked in all other ways.. Jeffie and Lance fought. The rest of the night
consisted of long drawn out brawls which stemmed from Jeffie's ever vigilant
attempts to make sure Joe stays alive.. Jeffie, Joe and Rick were all
involved in the skirmishes, which on this night, often seemed according to
the commentary, to become rather "dirty!" to borrow one of Joe's and Rick's
often used words. They could not bring themselves to fully describe what it
looked like was going on from the commentary booth's perspective...Everyone
was thoroughly grossed out, except for Jeffie of course. And that's how
things ended, with all that action...

On The Last Exit: Before I get to this past weeks show, let me mention
something from the week before...In my attempts to try and recapture and
recount all of the extremeness and action and chaos of the show (Which was
no easy task, as so much went on) I made an major oversight and neglected to
mention one very important occurrence! Right at the beginning of the show,
An extremely upset Friend called in, and apparently he has learned 2 more
new words.. "I quit!" which he kept saying and then urging them to "Kill
Just Joe!". Which, as I recounted everyone spent the whole night trying to
do with many different kinds of weapons, but to no avail. So, it would
appear that Just Joe, despite all his stupidness, had managed to accomplish
what so many have tried and failed to do over the years...Get rid of Friend!
But, this week a still very irate Friend came into the chatroom (yes, as
hard as it is to believe, Friend can type, actually better than he can talk.
He actually used a couple complete sentences. One of which was "I am
planning a return." However, the bulk of his conversation consisted of this:
"Kill Just Joe!" Kill Just Joe!" Kill Just Joe!" Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!
Kill! Hate! Hate! Hate! Hate! Hate! Ha, well, you get the idea). So, I think
we may not have seen the last of Friend after all despite everyone's great
hopes. Now, on to the rest of last weeks goings-on: David pulled another
Shoebox and was not present as co-host again. However, someone was there
whom we hadn't heard from in a long time. Rub M'Groin! A guy named Way
(which lead to many "No, Way! Way! No Way!" jokes by Rub) was on to talk
about Muse Fest.. Which is occurring From Sept 3 through Sept 5, and will
have lots of cool bands from metal and lots of other genres most from the
local area.. www.musefest.org is the site where you can download your free
ticket. Next the band River Chicken called in for an interview. They are
cool and will be visiting the show in a few weeks. Just Joe was there and
was his usual annoying self. But he was not as extreme as he had been the
week before...The whole show was calmer and quieter.. And, as the night
progressed, we learned the probable reason for that...The air conditioner at
the station was not working like it should. And as the night went on it kept
getting hotter and hotter in there. So, this probably took away everyone's
energy so that they couldn't fight... By the end of the night it had gotten
so bad (it was up to 95 degrees and seemed to be quickly and creepily rising
higher all the time) that Just Joe actually passed out. So, maybe the heat
managed to accomplish what all the violence the week before could not,
killing Just Joe. We shall see ..A very dazed and out of it sounding Azkath
said that he did not feel right or well.. "It's just too hot" he said and
that was the last we heard from him or anyone else that night. Odd, you
would think that demons would be used to extreme heat, having visited with
Satan in Hell..:) So, we shall see if and/how well they have recovered and
if the heat problem has been solved. And, before his being overcome with
heat exhaustion, Azkath did say that Crappy The Clown will be on this coming
weeks show...Cool! Can't wait for that...

********************************************************
Damn it was way too hot in the studio last week, hopefully that will never
happen again. Watching Just Joe pass out was rather neat though. So, this
week, yes Crappy the Clown should be on The Last Exit, and Shoebox, MAY be
on one of the two shows. I guess we will have to wait and see... There is
a new poll up about his VH1 appearance, so if you saw it, go vote.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TWISTED SISTER TO RELEASE 'STILL HUNGRY' CD -- A RERECORDED AND EXPANDED
VERSION OF THE CLASSIC 'STAY HUNGRY' ALBUM -- ON
OCTOBER 5, 2004, ON EAGLE ROCK ENTERTAINMENT

2004 is shaping up as one of the most exciting years ever for the hard rock
band Twisted Sister. Eagle Rock Entertainment will release the 'Still
Hungry' CD -- a rerecorded and expanded version of the classic 1984 album
'Stay Hungry' -- on October 5, 2004. 'Still Hungry' adds seven new tracks to
the original 'Stay Hungry.'

The rerecorded 'Stay Hungry' tracks are "Stay Hungry," "We're Not Gonna Take
It," "Burn in Hell," "Horror-Teria: A) Captain Howdy B) Street Justice," "I
Wanna Rock," "The Price," "Don't Let Me Down," "The Beast" and "S.M.F." The
biggest singles of Twisted Sister's career, "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I
Wanna Rock," were fist-pumping smashes and important, ground-breaking music
videos in the early days of MTV.

The seven bonus tracks are "Never Say Never," "Blastin' Fast & Loud," "Come
Back," "Plastic Money," "You Know I Cry," "Rock N Roll Saviors" and "Heroes
Are Hard to Find." These songs appear at the end of 'Still Hungry.' Four of
them -- "Come Back," "Plastic Money," "You Know I Cry" and "Rock N Roll
Saviors" -- were newly recorded in 2004. The recording of "Never Say Never"
and "Blastin' Fast & Loud" was completed in 2001 using the original drum
tracks Pero laid down in 1984. "Heroes Are Hard to Find" was recorded in
1998.

With 'Still Hungry,' vocalist Dee Snider, lead guitarist Jay Jay French,
lead guitarist Eddie Ojeda, bass guitarist Mark "The Animal" Mendoza and
drummer A.J. Pero are adding an important new chapter to the Twisted Sister
history book. The quintet's relentlessly rocking anthems and legendary live
performances are essential components of hard rock's legacy.

'Still Hungry' -- which was produced by Mendoza, a longtime
producer/engineer in addition to his bass guitar duties with Twisted
Sister -- finally gives the New York-based band a chance to make 'Stay
Hungry' the way it was first envisioned. 'Stay Hungry' has sold more than 6
million copies worldwide, but it doesn't sound the way Twisted Sister wanted
it to sound.

" 'Still Hungry' is 'Stay Hungry - The Way It Ought to Be.' It has an
ultra-heavy sound, which is the way we wanted 'Stay Hungry' in the first
place. But at that time rock records had a thin, very midrange kind of sound
and so 'Stay Hungry' was recorded very lightly. We battled Atlantic Records
and producer Tom Werman about it, but we lost," French says.

"These rerecordings are faithful to the original arrangements but they sound
much heavier. There are an additional seven tracks included -- obscure songs
from our club days but never officially recorded then. On two of these
songs, 'Never Say Never' and 'Blastin' Fast & Loud,' we used the original
drum tracks that A.J. recorded. These songs were meant to be included on
'Stay Hungry' but were never finished. 'Heroes Are Hard to Find' was on the
soundtrack of Dee's movie 'Strangeland.' "

Six of the seven bonus tracks previously appeared, mostly in raw form, on
archival Twisted Sister albums. Demos of "Come Back" and "Rock N Roll
Saviors" were included on the 1999 Spitfire Records collection 'Club Daze
Volume I: The Studio Sessions.' The completed 2001 studio recordings of
"Never Say Never" and "Blastin' Fast & Loud" (with Pero's original 1984 drum
tracks) kick off 2001's Spitfire release 'Club Daze Volume II: Live in the
Bars' which also features vintage live versions of "You Know I Cry,"
"Plastic Money" and "Come Back" (one of just a few songs to appear on both
'Club Daze' volumes).

"Even the cover art is now the way we wanted it. It shows us as five
starving musicians in street clothes in a tenement sitting at a table to
represent where we came from, and the ghostly looking image of us in our
stage clothes behind that shot represents what we imagined we could
achieve," says French.

'Still Hungry' finally gives Twisted Sister and its legions of fans
worldwide the chance to experience uncompromised versions of these important
songs. 'Still Hungry' makes a great thing even better.

A snake that slithered into the engine of a car, has beaten off all attempts
to free it.

Firemen were even called to deal with the incident in the Serbian town of
Prokuplje after police officers failed to flush out the creature.

The owner of the Ford Escort saw the three foot snake slither inside the car
and called officers for help.

Krstic said: "There were dozens of policemen and then firemen helping me to
try and get the snake out.

"We even tried to light a fire under the engine to get it out, and called in
a special car washing service to power-hose it with cold water, but nothing
worked."

Police and firefighters gave up after 24 hours of trying, says the Serbian
daily newspaper Glas Javnosti.

The car owner said: "The snake is somewhere still inside the engine. I've
just decided to leave the car alone for a few days - and hope the snake will
come out by itself."

Demands unmet, Swedish militants decapitate fiberglass cow

STOCKHOLM (AFP) - A shadowy group of militant Stockholmers carried out
their threat to "execute" a fiberglass life-size cow after their
demand that "Cow Parade", an outdoor art exhibit, be dismantled was
not met, organizers said.
"We have received the cow cut into pieces in a bag. It's really sad.
There's no way of repairing it," Cow Parade spokeswoman Helene
Cederberg told AFP.

The Militant Graffiti Artists last week sent an email with a video clip
attachment to Swedish daily Aftonbladet showing one of the exhibit's
brightly colored cows flanked by two masked militants clad in black
and brandishing electric drills as though they were machine guns.

In the video, the militants reportedly demanded that the Cow Parade "be
declared non-art, otherwise hostages will be sacrificed".

"As members of Stockholm's Militant Graffiti Artists, we feel it is our
moral duty to defend our city against the cows which have invaded our
streets," a distorted voice said in the clip, according to Aftonbladet.

The paper on Tuesday published pictures from a new video film depicting
how the masked militants decapitated the cow.

The group, which kidnapped the cow nearly three weeks ago, threatened
to destroy the artwork unless the 100 or so other cows were removed
from the city's streets by noon (1000 GMT) on August 23.

Earlier this month, when the touring exhibition was in Prague, a cow
was stolen and feared dumped in the river.

Vandals also attacked dozens of the Cow Parade exhibition's 214 beasts
dotted around central Prague, causing damage of around 1 million
koruna (31,000 euros, 38,000 dollars), exhibition organisers said.

Little Sleep, Lots of Nail-Biting for Malaysian Woman Living With 6,000
Scorpions

By Sean Yoong Associated Press Writer
Published: Aug 25, 2004

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) - A Malaysian woman who's trying to reclaim a
world record by living in a locked glass box with more than 6,000 scorpions
has been stung once, is suffering a fever and scarcely sleeps because the
creatures keep crawling over her.
Nur Malena Hassan, 27, said Wednesday she has a "50/50 chance" of reaching
her target of being cooped up with the poisonous arachnids for 36
consecutive days to set a new record for the longest stay in a room full of
scorpions.

"I'm feeling so much tension," Nur Malena told The Associated Press by
telephone from the specially built glass room that she moved into Saturday
in a shopping mall in Kuantan, a city about 160 miles northeast of Kuala
Lumpur.

"Nighttime is the worst," she said. "I can only sleep two or three hours,
since scorpions get so active at night. But I want to show that Malaysians
are capable of world-class efforts."

Nur Malena said she has a mild fever after being stung on her face Sunday.
But scorpions rarely sting unless they're disturbed, so she remains cautious
while moving within the room, which measures about 12 feet by 10 feet.

Nur Malena, who's been nicknamed "Scorpion Queen" in this Southeast Asian
country, set a world record in 2001 by living for 30 days with 2,700
scorpions. She was stung seven times, fell unconscious and nearly gave up
the potentially deadly feat.

Her record was shattered a year later by Kanchana Ketkeaw, a woman in
neighboring Thailand who lived in a similar glass room for 32 days with
3,400 scorpions.

"Having 6,000 scorpions is different from 3,000," Nur Malena said. "It's
just worse."

Nur Malena has built up an endurance to stings after more than five years of
training. But she says she'll still pass out if she's stung three times
within a short span.

Thousands of Malaysians have visited the mall to observe Nur Malena in the
room, which she leaves just once a day for a 15-minute bathroom break under
self-imposed rules. She sleeps, eats and performs Muslim prayers in the
room.

Boredom sometimes sets in, but Nur Malena keeps entertained by watching DVDs
on a TV set. Her favorite movie right now: "Spider-Man."

Malaysians have displayed a growing penchant in recent years for offbeat
records - such as the highest backward climb up a staircase and the largest
number of old people at a circus.

CAT PEOPLE: A winged cat from Hell visited a city in Russia. The
ginger cat, twice as big as a normal moggie, showed up recently in
Bukreyevk near Kursk in central Russia. A woman who gave milk to the
stray was horrified when, on the second day of their acquaintance, it
stretched out two chicken-like wings. "It was just like a devil,"
Nadezhda Medvedeva told the local media. In contrast, Medvedeva's
daughter, who spent some time actually playing with the animal, said
the cat was an affectionate creature that showed signs of having been
a pet. Villagers scoffed at the child's absurd theory, preferring to
believe it was a demonic envoy from the deepest levels of Hades.
Adults drowned it. The Mosnews Web site published a black-and-white
photo showing a cat with wing-like growths on its back.

Authorities are puzzled in Chile after a number of motorists reported seeing
strange creatures resembling dinosaur kangaroos.

The reports describe creatures more than two metres tall on a road north of
Santiago, reports UOL Noticias Populares.

The sightings were registered on different days by people who had driven
along the road linking Iquique and Arica, through the Atacama Desert.

One witness, Hernan Cuevas, said: "A weird animal looking like a dinosaur
with two legs and huge thighs crossed the road in front of my car."

A police spokesperson said: "It is not uncommon for people to see strange
things near the desert.

"But it is the first time that so many people have come forward seeing the
same things at the same time, so we are intrigued."

--------------- They Call Him Ole Jaw-Back -----------------

KIEL, Germany - In what was called an "ambitious" experiment,
a German man received a new jaw after surgeons grew a new
jaw bone in his back muscle and transplanted it to his mouth.
The man, who had his lower jaw cut out because of cancer,
was able to indulge in his first meal in nine years - a
bratwurst sandwich. Dr. Patrick Warnke, a reconstructive
facial surgeon at the University of Kiel, used 3D computed
tomography scanning and computer-aided design techniques to
produce a replacement for the jaw-bone defect. With that
data he created a titanium mesh cage that was filled with
bone mineral blocks and recombinant human bone morphogenetic
protein from the patient's bone marrow. The transplant was
implanted into the muscle below the patient's right shoulder
blade to grow, and seven weeks later the new bone graft was
transplanted as a free bone-muscle flap to replace the miss-
ing jaw bone. Four weeks after the procedure, the man was
able to enjoy a real meal.
