Lost in time, and lost in space... and meaning. ~The Criminologist, Rocky Horror Picture Show Riff Raff: It's astounding... Time is... fleeting. Madness... takes its toll. But listen closely... Magenta: Notfor very much longer! Riff Raff: I've got to... keep... control. ~Rocky Horror Picture Show [Ed: Ok, it's one of my favorite shows :)] FIDOGAZETTE Vol 10 No 43 Page 2 October 26, 2016 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================ E D I T O R I A L ================================================================ Some news of the week: New Moderator election is just starting in the echo. From Vince Coen, 2:250/1, current Moderator of Record: " Hello All! Well its that time again so I am announcing the Fido_Sysop election. We will need a : A Election co-ordinator to organise the schedule. A Vote checker. Where BOTH receive all votes so that a real time vote check can occur. So, looking for sysop's that will NOT be standing as the moderator who can fill the above duties and any others that I have missed - not being an expert in such matters. Vince" Bob Seaborn, 1:140/1, has volunteered to be Vote Checker. Ward Dossche, 2:292/854, has volunteered to "run the election", which I suppose fills the "Election Coordinator" that Vince requested. No dates or details have been posted at this time. FIDOGAZETTE Vol 10 No 43 Page 3 October 26, 2016 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================= H U M O R ================================================================= Sent in by Vince Coen, 2:250/1 Thanks Vince! *Nine Important Facts To Remember As We Grow Older* #9 Death is the number 1 killer in the world. #8 Life is sexually transmitted. #7 Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die. #6 Men have 2 motivations: hunger and hanky panky, and they can't tell them apart. If you see a gleam in his eyes, make him a sandwich. #5 Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach a person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks, months, maybe years. #4 Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in the hospital, dying of nothing. #3 All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism. #2 In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird, and people take Prozac to make it normal. #1 Life is like a jar of jalapeno peppers. What you do today may be a burning issue tomorrow. Don't ignore this message. This is your only warning FIDOGAZETTE Vol 10 No 43 Page 4 October 26, 2016 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================= A R T I C L E S ================================================================= If you missed the recently televised version of the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" or you'd like to see a much better version (!!) either see the original with Tim Curry, 1975, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dh_6SGxC07E or a live version Rocky Horror Show Live Cinema Screening from 17-09-2015 in London,UK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIPckPtYmXk Both of these versions are great. The London version has Stephen Fry as one of the narrators (Anthony Head does a spot as narrator in the London version as well). Some highlights of the Original: Hot Patootie Bless My Soul http://tinyurl.com/jf6ypz7 (meatloaf) Let's Do the Time Warp Again http://tinyurl.com/jazsft4 Yes, the televised version this month was ... Sterile.. You can't go wrong with the music but even with that, network tv made this classic into a cleaned up version. Sad. Perhaps one good thing about the 2016 televised version is that maybe younger generations will seek out the original film or the London version :) FIDOGAZETTE Vol 10 No 43 Page 5 October 26, 2016

If you have an idea for a column or a series of articles, please contact me :) New! Mailing-List subscriptions via http://www.filegate.net/sub.html but of course you can always link into your uplink and use Tick or a tick compatible program. Where to Send Your Articles Unlike most editors, I surely do not mind running my mouth when there is a sparsity of articles for the 'zine. I'd MUCH rather you sent in material... lacking that, I will fill these issues with my meanderings and thoughts and hopefully we will grow into something of consequence here :) Write an article! If you WOULD like to submit an article, feel free to drop your article off at: Email attach to address: janis @ filegate.net Fidonet attach: Janis Kracht at 1:261/38 Modem: 607-200-4076 Binkp: 1:261/100 filegate.net port 24555 telnet mailer: filegate.net If you are using routed Fidonet mail, don't send articles as routed attaches. They will fail somewhere along the path before getting here. Send them instead direct to filegate.net. Give it a title, sign your name and network address if you have one and send it along! Don't worry about the format, I can take anything you send me and mutilate it further as you can see above. Linux is nice that way (g). Spell checking your own work will help though (something I'm typically guilty of (g)). To send reviews or recipes to the Food section, email or netmail Janis as above. Email address for submissions to Dr.Debug: To send a question to Dr. Debug, email a question to: drdebug @ filegate.net or post in the fidogazette echo! :) To send a listing to the FidoGazette bbslist, email your listing to: bbslist @ filegate.net or post it in the fidogazette echo!
