TITLE:RANDOM AND RANDY PEARLS PALETTE:0223 099b 09a9 0c99 3 RANDOM PEARLS The scene is nice because it makes you laugh, sometimes. We have looked around for scene productions where could be found funny and hilarious things, some random pearls that couldn't pass unobserved. Here's what we've found. 2Tyrant/Cadaver1 in the articles "Demopacks" on Top Secret 14 writes exactly: "Dentroes (I don't like this word because of too much negative suspence in it...) Megademoes are very cool, at least the best of them. But Onefile demos could also be very cool!"... It's remarkable the grammar and the logic of the whole speech but it's mysterious the "negative suspence" in the word Dentroes.... Trying to explain the origins of some groups' names 2Wolfman/Balance1 in the article "Where do they get the names from?" appeared in Magbox 5 explains that: "Equinox: This is a star for very far away. There is not much info on this one, sorry!". Thanks God he hadn't infos, we wonder what could happen if he could write more... maybe the equinox could become a galaxy??? Following the steps of Wolfman, 2Mop/Alcatraz1 strikes back with "Where do they get the names from? 2" on Upstream 6. He reveals that: "Andromeda: Its' the demo of an infinite galaxy!" "The Gothic's were a barbarian race of the 18th century!" Impressive! We have problems to grasp the concept of an "infinite galaxy" and we presume that the Goths had to be quite happy to be considered alive in the 18th century... Quite interesting is the 2Digital Symphosium '931 party invitation intro lately appeared around. It tells everything about the party but it forgets to tell its DATES! Great example of coherency is 2Sane/Septic1, who in "New youth chart?" (Upstream 6) confesses that: "I will not discuss the ugly things like cheating etc. again because I have already done that in other articles." Thanks for having admitted it. Italians' reputation must not be of the best in Europe if 2Wolfman1 commenting the eventuality of cheating in charts writes in an article of his mag: "There can't be much cheating on The Charts or the Officila Eurochart, but since it's obvious in the blood of the Italians, who can tell if the editors from RAMJAM are accepting bribe...;-)" Wolfman has got the point! RAM JAM Charts are the only charts where Abnormalia ranked in the first five positions... ;-> 2Black Eagle/Connection1's article "Too many lame packs?" in Top Secret 14 can easily enter in the Golden Pearls History. A wonderful So-what? article and a great concentrated mix of deep thoughts and english poetry. We have reported some part of the whole article (not much longer than 1200 bytes, Top Secret's standard) in the Big Questions conference but do a favour to yourself and read the original. A real masterpiece. News in diskmags are always an good place where we look for some pearls, in 2Visual Intensity issue 1 1by Dual 4mat we are told, in the news: "Dual 4mat are finally on the 'scene' and kicking hard with their first production, a diskmag called 'Visual Intensity' due for release on the 31st August (NO WAAYYYY!)" and also: "DUAL 4MAT are in desperate need of articles for their funky new diskmag all contributions should be sent to ATOM". Thanks for the revelation, but somehow we had already guessed that Dual 4mat had done a mag called Visual Intensity. A neat piece of irony and self irony: the slogan of 2Headline1, new mag from Stone Arts is: We hardly try. Much better than who tries harder or who tries hardest. 2Top Secret 141 in the "Statements" article reports these words from Lone Starr/Spaceballs, taken from RAW5 and referred to Melon: "I like their graphics, it's just as good as if it was made by me" Nothing bad in that, if not for the fact that those words were part of a fake interview with Lone Starr. Our hope that such jokes were obvious and evident has gone in the dust: somebody still hasn't understood the difference between real interviews and fake interviews... By the way, the same interview was published on the last Scenarium too... maybe this could prove something? (That RAW is copying us? :-O -ed) In 2Suicid 61, among many spandimerda remarks, we have found an interesting pearl. The guys behind Suicid write that they are also members of an heavy metal group called XENTRIX, which is going to tour around the world. Will we see Zinkfloid and co. interviewed soon on MTV? Will Zinky start a spandimerda campaign also in the musical field? Will we see him quarreling with Ozzy Osbourne upon who has came before? Let's hope to hear more in the next Suicid, it could really bring the readers to a premature voluntary departure.
