1 greetings and s
alutations. welcome to the blade two year anniversary
epic
. on march first of nineteen ninety four, blade rel
eased its very first
pack. this pack is the twenty fifth blade pak, celebrating
two years of
consistant pack production. i wish i was happy with the re
cent state of
the computer art scene as a whole, but alas, im not. nowh
ere even close,
actually. i wish i could celebrate this day. i wi
sh i could guarantee the
well being of blade for another whole year, but i
cannot even guarantee
that it will be here tomarrow. at least, not under my cont
rol. loyalty is
word, and that word is gone. defined by the webst
ers dictionary it means
being faithful to ones country, friends, ideals, etc. the
group is like
our country, and we have a serious emigration problem. loy
al as i have
been for the last two years, the lack of others respect h
as driven me
to utter disgust. no longer am i having fun, yet i keep bl
ade around
because i am afraid to lose it. an old friend that you don
t have the
heart to kick out of your life when he gets annoying. i ha
ve felt this
way in the past, and it has always been subsidized by a mo
nth of fun and
enjoyment. this time it doesnt seem to be going in that d
irection. two
years and what do we have to show for it? not much. blade
is static,
never changing, never moving, never growing or lessening.
you may ask
yourself why it never changes, and the answer is loyalty,
or, at least,
the lack thereof. new members come as the old grow better
and move on.
the conglomerates at the head of the scene steal the appea
l, and it is
too much to compete with. the competition is driving me ma
d. i do not
want to be number one. i do not want to be th
e best. all i want is
loyalty. all i want is the pleasure of knowin
g a person for more than
two months. screw it. no one really knows wha
t they want and who am i to
be the self proclaimed exception?

say that ive
talked to half of the members. im here to have fun, if i

nted me to omit
his part. damn lamer, he gets a pro
motion and he thinks he can sit on hi
s ass and watch everyone else do the w
ork!
wait a minute, who am i to talk? uhh, nevermind.
3! im telling you man,
acid and ice are like two big fucking black holes.
they suck up all the best artists in the scene an
d you never hear from
them again. its like they disappear. anyway, we have
lost rai to this

2 that new guy,
hack, has something to say.. .
ahem
hey, blade followers.. .
this is hack, the blade communications director
. im here with some stuf
f about blades involvement with the internet -
blades bot, jerik0 named
for the j1 movement in blade..
neat little things you can do:
1 - you can introduce yourself by /msg jerik0 blade.
2 - you can set a password by doing a /msg jerik0 pass
wh0rd
3 - you can set a greetline by /msg jerik0 info greetli
ne
4 - you can do much more in a dcc chat with jerik0, but
you need to
have introduced yourself and set a password for it to wor
k.
sounds like an eggdrop to me.

but they dont know about me my dad

etween
he fucked me good, and my assholes now clean
through and through, my brain sure lags,

just the ways how i serve my human need,
id pull my dick to make it bleed.
now, some might refer to me as dence,
because i wear a sign on my ass, that says en
trance
but ill always put that case to rest, like no
other pansi
and mass kick your ass off ansi.
