Welcome To The Barsoom Fish 'Rap! | |
| One question you may have is "What in the %&#@%! is the 'Rap and why the #$%^& should I care ?" The paper version of the 'Rap once circulated among 40 "Church of All Worlds Inc." and Two Rivers Nest CAW Members and Associates, and about 100 'Raps were distributed to several esoteric and Goddess shops in and around the Sacramento area for about four years, until production costs, postage, worsening health, and terminal internal Nest problems forced me to stop pulp publication. BTW, Who gave me permission to start a Newsletter?? I did. How did I get the required years of experience and education one must have to occupy a coveted reporter or editor position? 'I don't need no Stinking Bodges!!' There aren't multi-levels of conglomerate greedheads, executives, managers, or bureaucrats above me to answer to, so I mostly do as I please. If people read my stuff then that's |
qualifications enough, by gods ! Good old OJT !!! I just went ahead and did it !! I think I do an excellent job, and my opinion is the only one that counts here...
The Rap is an "Underground" rag only in the sense that it offers an alternative to Standard Whitebread 'Mercan Xtianity. It's also the Flag E-Zine/Newsletter of the CAWTN :-). The 'Rap, however, sometimes strays from strictly Neo-Pagan subject matter to apply Classic Pagan and Neo-Pagan ideals to some wider contexts like economics and the State (or unstate) of the Union. I may meander a wee bit, but not usually enough to make them true Rants! BTW, There's nothing left of the true '60s and '70s wild, profane and rowdy 'Underground Newspaper Genre'. They've either, literally, in some cases, SOLD OUT to the hated 'Establishment" or they've passed on to the great Pressroom in the Sky. They're History, Gone, as in DEAD! |

From Under The Editor's Rock is my personal rant section. It gives me the chance to have a more personal, direct, "In Your Face", kinda rant. My rants... er philosophical opinions, are as good (or as bad) as anyone else's - enough to rate a wider audience, but without these &$%#@ columns fer sure - they are a royal pain in the rear end! This page was written before the "stylebook" and it's an exception to it! Who knows, mebbe [get used to 'Rap Speak NOW !] I'll get Y'all to contribute something ! But I'm not waiting for "The check in the mail...?" My writing style should be classed as peculiar ! The best Classic (old paper version) 'Rap articles are here as well!

All the old 'Rap articles had to be retyped from scratch from an old IBM PC and uploaded through a public library computer due to a profound computer incompatability, and they've also been edited and reworked. My computer problems have (mostly) been solved. I've also confirmed copyright permissions on articles by others, etc.
The "1040 Long" and 1040EZ" Forms were created so that y'all can send me your opinions and stuff. It's a good alternative to E-mail, and I pay the Postage! But if you must use E-mail y'all can always send comments to: My Offical Yahoo Email...
