Aww, I can't do that again. Instead, I'll tell you the story of my life (aka this issue). It all started when I said, "Hey Spite, can you grace the N-Com with one of your fan-tab-u-riffic articles?" And she said, "Yeah, but on one condition. You've got to interview my dad. So I was like, "Awww Jeah! I've wanted to interview him for a long time (he looks like Harvey Keitel, you know). So with that one action, two of my life's greatest fantasies were realized and now here I am today, sharing them with you. And by another coincidence, the release date of this issue happens to be the date of a little-known holiday from here in the hamlet of Saskatoon that is known as "Family Dae." And what an amazing coincidence it is! I'm speechless, choked up... ...cut to the articles. d""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""b. ;P INTERVIEW WITH HARVEY KEITEL .b `q by BMC p' `nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn' BMC - Hello sir. You have become famous in all of Canada, from New Brunswick to select areas of Saskatoon, for looking like Harvey Keitel. How does it feel to be on top of the world? Harvey - I don't even know who Harvey Keitel is. BMC - Fair enough. So in '86, when the world hailed you as "the next Harvey Keitel," how did it affect your life? Harvey - We moved to New Brunswick to have a new beginning and get away from all the fame. BMC - Ahh, but of course. I don't blame you. So why, if you don't mind my asking, do you look like Harvey Keitel? Harvey - 'Cause I feel like it. BMC - I understand. We all feel like that at times. Now, if you got into a fistfight with the real Harvey Keitel, who would win? Harvey - It would have to be me, because I'm better. BMC - What would you say is the asset of yours that Harvey Keitel can't compete with? Harvey - My rugged good looks and my acting ability. BMC - Agreed. Speaking of acting, in that scene in Resevoir Dogs where Mr White (you) finds out that Mr Orange (Tim Roth) is an undercover cop and then shoots him in the head and gets shot up by a bunch of cops who storm the warehouse... in that scene how did you feel? Was it scary? Did you fear death? Harvey - Not at all. I laugh in the face of danger. BMC - Well if you got a dangerous job doing Harvey Keitel impersonations for weddings, childrens birthdays, etc., how would you close the show? Harvey - By scaring little kids, pregnant women and newlyweds. BMC - How would you scare them? Harvey - By doing a scene from Reservoir Dogs. BMC - I can only imagine which scene! Ok, let's think of another scenario. If you were a carpenter named Harvey Keitel and somebody happened to have a flood and some water got in their basement, how much would you estimate that it would cost to make repairs? Harvey - Ten million. BMC - Isn't that a bit pricey? Harvey - Well, you only get what you pay for. BMC - Good point! So, if you are Harvey Keitel and you were hungry, what would you make for supper? Harvey - A great big Harvey burger. BMC - How appropriate! Now let's get serious for a moment if we may. If the mythological city of Atlantis rose to the surface of the ocean and the living human creatures of that city waged war against the mercenary fleets of MooN MonstArs in space cruisers, which side would you support and how would you aid their cause? Harvey - The tribe from Atlantis. I'd part the water so they could get to shore, because I am a god. BMC - Why would you side with Atlantis? Harvey - Because I, too, came from the ocean. BMC - I'm feeling a little bit frightened and uncomfortable, so let's move on to another topic. How did you become Harvey Keitel? Harvey - Just woke up one morning and said, "I want to be Harvey Keitel." BMC - And? Harvey - And it was so. BMC - Wow. That's cool! Will you be my friend/get high with me/give me some money? Harvey - Sure, why not? BMC - Yeah!@ Cool! Those are all of the questions, thanks for the interview, Mr Keitel! Harvey - Please, call me Harvey. BMC - It's been an honour. Thank you sir. Harvey - Ahh, that's Harvey to you! BMC - *blushing* thank you, Harvey... Harvey - I'll be expecting my bag of weed as a payment for the interview in the next 6 to 8 weeks. BMC - umm... heh... hmm... d""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""b. ;P THE GYPSIES .b `q by Spite p' `nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn' I was prompted to write an article today after a conversation with BMC about gypsies. He is among the many who believe these people to be "pure evil." Not so, say I! They have done nothing wrong! Has a gyspy ever stolen your baby, or broken into your house and watched your family vacation videos when you weren't home? I bet not! They are a magical bunch of people, and I just know one of them is going to come up with a cure for the common cold someday soon. Sometimes, when I am listeless and bored at work, I like to daydream about being a gypsy. Oh, what a grand life it would be... sitting around the campfire at night, telling stories about gypsy heroes, strumming my ukelele and passing around a hearty jug of the finest mead. I realise that it can never be, for one must be born into the gypsy clan in order to truly be accepted among them, but one can always dream! Another thing that bothers me a great deal is the painfully obvious opposition of a Ms 'Crystal Waters' to my beloved gypsies. How can one have such blatant disregard for them, as she does? Why, she even wrote a terribly biased and cruel song and then had the audacity to call it Gypsy Woman. This song should never have seen the light of day! No one would dare not oppose a song that was disrespectful to the tribes of natives in the Amazon forest now, would they? What of the gypsies then, I ask! She even goes so far as to state, "She's just like you and me, but she's homeless." Yes, Ms Waters, she is just like you and me. But she is definitely not homeless. Why, the gyspies have the entire great outdoors to call home! Sure, their 'home' may consist of canvas and tent poles and be easily transferred to a new location within hours, but it is a home nonetheless! No one ever said the nomadic tribes in the desert were homeless! They just like to move around alot. And what better way to see the world than that? Gypsies of the world, I implore you, rise up! Rise and take a stand against those who have forsaken you! You must be respected and admired. Dear gypsies, we are nothing without you. Rise up from the depths of oppression and take your rightful place in society! I love you all, you raggle-taggle gyspies. .d&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&b. ___________________________________________________ |THE COMINTERN IS AVAILIABLE ON THE FOLLOWING BBS'S | |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | TWILIGHT ZONE (905) 432-7667 | | BRING ON THE NIGHT (306) 373-4218 | | CLUB PARADISE (306) 978-2542 | | THE GATEWAY THROUGH TIME (306) 373-9778 | |___________________________________________________| | Website at: http://members.home.com/comintern | | Email BMC at: thebmc@home.com | |___________________________________________________| .d&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&b.
