Sini-Gladiators in the Arena of Sinister.... Sadly I must report that The Major returned to base yesterday, completely exhausted from a week of staying up late and fragging everything that moved in the Quake Arena. I can assure you that the fate of the universe was in good hands. I will admit that I am a new junkie, and some how this has passed onto The Major who it seems is the perfect height to read all the tabloid headlines at check-out stands. As you can imagine he had many questions about the end of the world in various forms as a result of 3 headed space aliens living in Idaho and many returns of the Messiah most likely riding on a meteor. Thus he got to stay up and watch the switch over with the new year and see that everything would still be there. I managed to synchornize my computer clock to the correct second based upon the world's cesium clock so The Major was impressed to know that he would know the exact second it was 2000. Everything went off without a hitch and he got to see a bit of the fireworks from the window. There's a bunch of buildings blocking the view to Toronto so he wasn't able to see them. But of course The Major, being an officer, never really does well with the binoculars. Well, except for the one time when he exclaimed, "Cool, I can see a girl in her bedroom getting undressed." and the punk refused to tell me where. Having been assured that the world would stay put, he flaked out in bed at 12:30 after listening to some B&S, and for once slept in on Saturday. New Years day was spent trying to unplug the toilet and by saving the universe from reptiloid aliens bent on destruction. The Major has no New Year's resolutions to offer, an official statement may be released to the media at a later date. At 6:22 am, January 1, 2000, an earthquake registering 5.5 on the Richter Scale was experienced in the region. The Mjaor reports that there was no reason for concern and that everything is normal. A likely cause for the eathquake is under study and it could be the possible over use of the highly radioactive BFG gun or rocket launchers, however, the possibility has been ruled out that the cause was the excessive partying in Toronto. The Major has a keen interest in Natural Disaster, and studies these matters seriously before releasing statements. This is his second earthquake experience. (I on the other hand seem to flirt with death which he thinks is cool, and frightens me: 4 earthwquakes, 1 hurricane, 1 tornado, 2 near hits with lightening, 1 electrocution, 2 explosions) Command Office of Major Intruder, Quake III Arena Gladiator +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
