Anarchist Bookstore-Mc Paul Barman
Is my distance from the mic proper?
In a college town, with olive green all around, professors and skate punks rock SG Paul's wall of sound. There's an anarchist bookstore that has more than you'd look for.
A core of local folks wait for a late lift. There's often a great drift to the shop for the Wednesday night five-to-eight shift. The clerk at work is the prettiest gal in town. She cries during the video for "Allentown." She's a precocious socialist and willing to pal around. She's twice as cool as the kids at her high school. Every Wednesday after French Club she rides to work with a stuffed mastodon in the basket on her bicycle.
Voice Talent, a rapper, said, "If Noam Chomsky was from the Bronx he'd have been assassinated promptly."
The clerk said, "He was from the Bronx"
He said, "You know what I mean... ignoramuses"
"Oh boyee, what a pain this is," said the only paid employee, the manager. "I came for culture not accounting," and a girl put a flyer up above the water fountain. She carried clandestine two dollar mescaline in her blue collar mess tin plastered with stickers that said, "Food Not Bombs," "Sex Not Proms," and "Critical Mass."
That bastard, Voice Talent, snickered. He thought, "Nice graphics but that's just half-assed agitprop to piss off a traffic cop. Aww shucks. Can it be I'm too lazy for potlucks? If not my friends who am I willing to cook for," and they're chilling at the Anarchist Bookstore.
Will Barnes and Noble harm the global?
Will Amazon.com be around when gramma's gone, mom?
Voice Talent, the rapper, had a rapport with a stripper whore who he'd vote for long before he'd vote for Tipper Gore. He equipped the store with a credit card machine and put zines in their places. He said, "Take Back the Streets is more like Take Back Four Parking Spaces at the most," and left to host the Sunday Showcases. He was all dressed in tinsel, yo, but he couldn't convince his friends to go. They were like, "Voice Talent, you put on a minstrel show." He said, "Someone's psychotic. Someone took too much semiotics." "Furthermore," he thought, "Someone can tzuck my Tzadik," but VT was the opposite of TV. He'd never accuse someone of being PC because it's so frigging dumb to say. The term arose on the Columbus Day Quincentennary when the republic was honest about the conquest and wouldn't party as previously promised. If someone uses a nonoffensive vocabulary that person is considerate, not PC. If someone has a heavy-handed agenda that person is narrow-minded, not PC. Unless you mean Providence College, PC is as meaningless as the president's apology for slavery. Maybe PE should be on the radio, not just in the African-American Norton Anthology.

Multi Millionaires Aren't the Only Ones Who Can Put an End to Hockey!Sometimes University Student Assholes Can Too
From the Chronicle Herald :
X-rated posters derail intramural hockey game
St. F.X. staff, students disgusted by sexually degrading posters
By MARY ELLEN MacINTYRE / Truro Bureau
ANTIGONISH - Sexually explicit posters that sickened the president of St. Francis Xavier University were plastered over two floors of a coed residence Monday morning, leading to the cancellation of the annual Burmac Cup intramural hockey game.
"This is way over the line," Sean Riley said of the posters and other objectionable material. "People are beginning to feel their safety and security are jeopardized."
The president spent Tuesday meeting with distressed students and faculty in hopes of finding out who put the disturbing posters and other items in the women's section of coed Burke House.
There is a long tradition of booze-fuelled parties and collegial pranks leading up to the annual Burmac Cup game, which pits teams from the Burke House and MacIsaac Hall residences against each other.
The 26th Burmac Cup was to be on the line tonight but the manager of the Antigonish Arena confirmed Tuesday night that the game has been called off.
"They had three hours of ice time booked . . . but they cancelled it," Bud MacInnis said.
"The two teams were here this afternoon practising - so as far as we knew, everything was fine, but I guess something happened on campus."
Mr. MacInnis said he got the official word at about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.
He said the game itself has not been a problem for the arena in recent years.
But what happened Monday morning had nothing to do with hockey, said Nancy Forrestall, professor of history and women's studies.
"What they did certainly implies violence and could be taken to incite violence," she said.
Ms. Forrestall said she couldn't believe her eyes when a student showed her a photograph of a poster that was hung in various places in Burke House.
"It was a large poster that was constructed in the lounge at MacIsaac Hall during a competition for best decoration," she said.
Ms. Forrestall said the poster contained a drawing of a woman naked from the waist down, a papier mache penis and an offensive caption.
"The student who showed it to me was quite upset by the poster and the other vandalism at the residence," Ms. Forrestall said.
She said the Burmac Cup is not just a hockey game, it has become its own corrupt culture.
"If it was just a hockey game that would be one thing, but it has a much greater significance - there's also the Burmac Challenge, which is a party where there is drinking, disrobing and pictures are taken and distributed around campus," she said.
"People went into a residence in the middle of the night and put that poster up - how does that make the residents feel about security?"
The Burmac Cup has always been a popular event with students but the rowdy parties leading up to the game and the debauchery and drunkenness during and after it have given the administration more than one headache over the years.
After a particularly rowdy event in 2002, administrators washed their hands of it and refused to sponsor the Burmac game any longer.
Since 2003, the Burmac Cup has been held off campus at the Antigonish Arena, where it has passed relatively quietly.
Mr. Riley exerted pressure on organizers to call off tonight's game.
"This is a university and we're responsible for the educating of these students, and aggression, violence and degradation is not a part of that," Mr. Riley said.
Monday's prank was a "significant effort to humiliate and intimidate," he said.
"In no way do I want this incident to go unanswered."
An RCMP investigation has also begun. Sgt. Jay McInnis of Antigonish RCMP would not comment on the extent of the investigation.
The rivalry between the two residences is mythical, says Chad Peck, a DJ at the university radio station who lived in MacIsaac Hall as a freshman.
It's the parties leading up to and after the game that appear to be the main attraction, he said.
"There's a fair amount of partying that goes on in MacIsaac anyway, but it's really cranked up a few notches for Burmac," Mr. Peck said.
After checking out the links below I sort of wish that there was some celestial body sitting in judgement so that they would smite some of these people complaining about how terrible it is that they can't play hockey because someone's whining about misogyny.
Read about the day hockey died
and
how people whine too much.
I'm sure that I'm not that different. Everyone wishes everyone else would just shut the fuck up so they can continue going about polluting themselves and making bad decisions. Maybe I should be smited.
