Volume I, Issue 34
January 26 - February 2, 1998

I was just over there in the News section and I read this funny story about people who purposely sabotage their own corporations' products to make a statement. I thought, "How sweet. But what about those of us who don't work for large corporations? How can we make anarchistic, subversive statements?"

Now I know the answer: Fast-food drive-through pranksterism. Yes, you too can demonstrate your disdain for corporate capitalism by messin' with the minds of hapless fast-food employees. To be honest, though, the authors of this story aren't trying to make a statement -- they're doing research. And inventing some fantastic new fast-food concoctions along the way. Try it!

In other arts: I don't need to tell you that fast food and preparing to run a marathon don't mix. But who would have thought that marathon running and alcoholism, of all things, were exactly alike? This author, who has participated in both activities, explains the connection in lovely, inspirational detail. So pour yourself a drink and check out the story.

Yours,
