Hey there Kid-Kid-Kiddos and welcome back to another fact-  
filled, action-packed and totally biased issue of SNN       
UPDATE, that wonderful periodical that graces the ANNOUNCE  
subs of your ships, much to the Membership's dismay, wait-  
ing for you to hit that magical "delete" button!  Announce- 
ment:  We're on the Web!  For the first time since... well, 
at least as far back as the Fillmore Administration, SNN    
UPDATE has been marked-up (in HTML, not price, which rema-  
ins free) and is available at Randy McCullick's STF         
Homepage, along with specs for 3 of the New Fleet's ships,

       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~       
a ton of information on STF, and a link to the Mad Rabbit   
STF Web Colony.  Why are we taking so long to tell you      
this?   Well, it goes like this:  SNN UPDATE celebrated its 
2nd birthday this year (9/9/94, baby!) and we decided to    
celebrate it with a month-long hiatus.  Heh heh heh.        
                                                            
=/\= NEWS                                                   
* President Randy E. "The Shameless Cheesehead" McCullick   
 gave another one of his Addresses on 03 October:  225      
 Pinetree Lane, Amityville, New York, 11016                 
* Enough, though, with the cheap jokes.  Bill Clin- WHOOPS! 
 Sorry! No more cheap jokes for the rest of the issue.  It  
 doesn't matter if they're running for President.  No more. 
* Right.  Prez Randy "Mad, Rabid Productions" McCullick did 
 announce a new policy on 3 October.  A new edict he has    
 announced sets a definite Election policy.  The First Book 
 of Randy proclaims, and I quote, "And the Premz did see    
 that there were two types of people, other than voters,    
 and that they were Election Managers and Candidates;  And  
 the Premz did Grin, for he knew that if he could pursuade  
 the Populace in his Campaign Notes -- restricted to two in 
 each ship's ANNOUNCE sub -- and in his Signoff, 10 words   
 only, that he would WIN the race, if Polling was done by   
 the holiest of Email schemes."  Seriously.  The Second     
 Book goes on to explain that "Negative Campaigning, Oppon- 
 ent Bashing, and Mud-Slinging are right out,  excepting    
 that thou shalt proceed directly to 'Go,' and collect $200"
* Also included in the Premz Address were directions on how 
 to get to the Web Colony ("http://www.execpc.com/mad_      
 rabbit/stf_colony/") and, in a previous one, the reason    
 why the Premz had been away from STF for almost a month    
 (see, we're not the only ones).  The excuse?  PRODIGY      
 account difficulties.  Uh-huh.  That's what they all say.  
* On a brighter note, Emily "Y'all come down here and have  
 a good time, y'hear?" Braunstein, Prez-For-Life of our     
 downstate neighbor STNG, has once again invited each and   
 every STF member to the annual Halloween celebration at    
 STNG: SB-EMILY'S PUB.  Be there! Come as your favorite     
 alien... <G>                                               
* Attention Graphic Artists!  Randy "I get my name mention- 
 ed WAY too often in this newsletter" McCullick is still    
 looking for a new STF logo.  If you want to see the        
 current one, hop on down to either one of the STF Home-    
 pages.  If you think you can do better, contact the Premz. 
=/\= SNN UPDATE                                             
is published bi-weekly, excepting hiati (?), by Mike "For-  
get da stats.  Bears still rule" Ballway.  It appears that  
Mike really DOES have opinions, but these aren't necess-    
arily the opinions of Mad Rabbit Productions, Zygweebil     
Mufasa Productions, or even Paramount Productions.  Heck,   
they may not even be his, and definitely aren't STF's.  We  
(of course) follow the Journalistic Motto of "Quick, Infor- 
mative, Totally Biased Reporting."  You gotta complaint?    
We don't care.  You gotta commendation, comment, or other   
good thing?  Write us!  We're always looking for an ego     
boost.  --J. Robert "BWSC65C" Stevenson, Assoc. Publisher
