You know, in the 1992 Presidential campaign, George Bush had a slogan that went something like "Annoy the Media--Elect Bush!". This alluded to the liberal bias of the press. Well, after Clinton was elected, but before he took office, I made myself a T-shirt that read "Annoy the Media--Impeach Clinton!" In 1994, I made a bumper sticker that read "Gore '94" and affixed it to my Jeep back window. And I still have my "Dole/Kemp '96" bumper sticker on my Jeep! So, I guess it goes without saying that I have been quite engrossed by the events of the past week or so. Bill Clinton is truly beneath contempt. The only good thing about him is that he helps Republicans get elected. I may be a long-haired, vegetarian, poet kinda guy--but I'm no liberal--I'm a conservative Republican! Yeah! Well, now that I've pissed-off the leftward leaning members of my audience, let's go ahead and talk about Obliviana! What can I say? I've been a slacker this past week as far as Obliviana is concerned. Beyond the whole Starr Report thing, I've been pretty obsessed by MP3 and the new computer me and my wife are getting. Oh, and "Sifl & Olly", the show on MTV, too. I've been into that a lot. But I am moving forward, and getting stuff done. Sure, "Surface O" (which I mentioned in the last couple issues of OsoaWeek) is on hold right now--but it and many other things in Obliviana will be coming soon! So come on folks, send in those letter! This is the third week in a row that I've asked for letter so that I can start a letters section! Come on! Well, see ya next week. Hopefully, Albert Gore, Jr. will be President of the United States of America by then! Then we can impeach him! Yeah! ------------------- GAME NEWS ----------- DAILY WINNERS!

That's his name. My Moisture Detection Friend tells me he knows a lot about movies. PACER: Yeah? Cool. Wow--look up. Willya just look up there! The Contemporary Resort Hotel! Can you believe that we're actually here? This is like, I don't know, like the greatest place in the world! And we're gonna be driving those little speedboats around Bay Lake and Seven Seas Lagoon in a matter of minutes! CARNE: Yeah, well, not if it starts to rain. Look at that thunderstorm there, um, in the distance. PACER: Nonsense. Total nonsense. It'll rain for like five minutes. And what are they gonna do if we're out there, kick our ass or something? I don't think so. CARNE: I don't know, Pacer. I've heard some pretty wild things about Disney security. PACER: Yeah, but that's for like college kids who jump off the ride in the Haunted Mansion and start beating the shit out of the ghosts and stuff. They got cameras everywhere man. I knew this one guy who jumped off the boat in It's a Small World and started beating the shit out of one of those little puppets, and they like took him away and locked him up and handcuffed him and everything. CARNE: Who is this, that you know and who did that? PACER: I don't know. That dude Klein. Klein something... I don't know. His buddies just dared him.So he had to do it. I don't think he got in all that much trouble, but all I know is that he's not allowed to ride that ride anymore. CARNE: Yeah. Hey, check out those girls over there. PACER: Wow. I could do with a little bit of that. Geez, just think, those girls were probably born AFTER Epcot opened! Is that wild? CARNE: Look! A raindrop on my arm! It started raining already! There's no way they're gonna let us go out on those boats now! PACER: Yeah, great. That sucks. Hey, you know how we were talking about dimensional travel before, how we could go and see like the Western River Expedition and the Asian and Persian and Venetian Hotels, and the Tron Arcade, and all that? I was thinking about something like "rain travel", where you could go from like one time and place where it's raining. So we could, for example, go to the Short Hills Mall at a point in time when it was raining there. CARNE: Could we, perhaps, go to that cave where the Nazis his trillions of dollars worth of gold and art masterpieces? I know it couldn't rain In the cave, but if it was raining outside, could we use rain travel to jump right into the cave? PACER: I don't know, man. Come on, let's head on back to the Fiesta Fun Center. Or whatever the hell they call it now. CARNE: I think it's time to take a depressing, long Walt Disney World bus ride in the rain.
