Title: This Weeks Issue
Sardonic - July 20, 2005 04:06 AM (GMT)
...seeing as no-one has seem to comment and the fact this IS the Craccum forum. How did the boys do?
SheDevil - July 20, 2005 04:12 AM (GMT)
Fucking fantastically, as usual :P
Steveo - July 20, 2005 04:47 AM (GMT)
I thought it was pretty good, whats the next issue about?
Fez - July 20, 2005 04:55 AM (GMT)
sorry I havnt had time to read, still reading Harry Potter :D
SheDevil - July 20, 2005 05:06 AM (GMT)
Millitant.....something...blah blah........radicalism......shit, I don't know those boys wander around muttering under their breath about features, people to interview, "can't talk must go do......."!! :P

It's meant to be about marginalised issues.
However largely it's just very political.
Zoot - July 20, 2005 05:17 AM (GMT)
The theme of the next issue will be strangely appropriate for the forums, I suspect.

i've only actually read part of this weeks issue so far. i liked the cover.
fez, hurry up and finish harry potter so we can hear your views on it!
Steveo - July 20, 2005 08:00 AM (GMT)
Im still on the 4th book atm, soon soon! I got my reading hat on, but this damn forum keeps distracting me >:|
maniacnymph - July 20, 2005 08:04 AM (GMT)
fuck off then and go read....SHOO! anyway, i was talking to fez! (so there, she added harshly).
Yeliah - July 20, 2005 08:10 AM (GMT)
*gasp* Steveo! Only the fourth?! I don't really blame you though, it's the best one. After the third. And before the fifth.
Steveo - July 20, 2005 08:35 AM (GMT)
Yeah, i've read them before but im re-reading for the new realease and got kinda busy. Im going to go read now.
Maniac: I know u were talking to Fez, I was just butting in :P
Fez - July 21, 2005 08:33 AM (GMT)
I finally got round to reading this weeks issue.
The VCM feature was awesome. I had no idea we had such crazy fanatical zealots on campus.
Could they possibly be the table outside the gym with the big red "Church" sign?
Also Ryan top write up on the 80s kids show, even tho Alec did it last year, your's was still good.
Everything else I had to skim read.
samf - July 21, 2005 08:36 AM (GMT)
Scarily, I think there's actually more than one group on campus. Look for the big red sign of "CHURCH... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT" and whore your souls for an iPod shuffle, kids...
Kids shows article was class, but I think GAN needs more energy and madness next time round... :)
Fez - July 22, 2005 02:40 AM (GMT)
yea thats the big red sign Im talking about.
also I just remembered.
The article "Hard To Explain" was also a great read.
He is so rigt in some of his points like "once you've had sex, you can never be JUST friends, there is always going to be an element of rejection and bitterness"
It summed up a lot of my feelings towards my ex.
maniacnymph - July 24, 2005 07:10 AM (GMT)
damn right. right now i fucking hate every person i have ever fucked. (there is only 1 person who i've slept with who i dont regret having sex with. i dont like him, true, but i dont regret it....)
not exactly bitterness or jealousy, but mainly coz of other sexual tension, and being repulsed by what i did with such despicable beings.
Fez - July 27, 2005 11:46 PM (GMT)
Once again I liked Gordan Raphaels piece this week, had me LOL'ing on the bus rather embarassingly.
Who is that guy?
SheDevil - July 27, 2005 11:59 PM (GMT)
Apparently just some guy, haven't met him, but he does write very well, that's why Alec likes him, because he writes things that most people would write and come off sounding just plain disgusting or perverted but he pulls it off quite nicely!

she devil your signature is really fucking annoying. why the hell is it so big? just make it your little picture in the corner.
SheDevil - July 28, 2005 12:13 AM (GMT)

Firefox + adblock = remove images you don't like.

Making an image smaller:
1) Open image in MS paint
2) Ctrl-W
3) Set horizontal and vertical percentages as a number lower than 100, and both to the same number.
4) Save image
SheDevil - July 28, 2005 12:46 AM (GMT)
Thanks Oob, i don't know if i have MS paint, but i'll give it a go when i get home :)
the oob - July 28, 2005 01:05 AM (GMT)
Assuming your computer has windows:
1) Press start
2) Press run
3) type in mspaint and press enter
Although I've only tried this in Win XP, but it will probably work for some/all of the older versions.

So what did everyone think of this weeks Frat Boy issue? Suitably debauched and feral enough for everyone?!?

Breasts on the front cover! I am shocked

Actually better than most of the issues this year, I thought. Despite Fez's neglectment :(
...The only sad thing was that I knew *exactly* what J Dawg's letter is about :(
:eww:
SheDevil - July 31, 2005 11:37 PM (GMT)
This morning when the mag first arrived we were up in Craccum and Alec flipped through the magazine then yelled, "This is shit!" before throwing it accross the room in a fit of disgust! Twas funny, but don't be expecting this next week, it was a one off. A very reluctant one off!
templar34 - July 31, 2005 11:40 PM (GMT)
Well.... That whole Westie bogan environs is the crucible of how I was brought up as a teenager. You may hve noticed that I've risen above it B) but this was just what I needed to make me smile on a Monday morning. So why are the Eds unhappy?
SheDevil - July 31, 2005 11:45 PM (GMT)
They're elitist fucks! :P I'll be in trouble for saying that! Anyhoo, they don't really like to do below the belt/feral/overtly perverse/sexually degrading/non-intellectual stuff, unless they can put a fully justifiable reason behind it, some sort of intellectual reason, like they're psychoanalising it or something. I guess this was them giving in to the masses and saying, "Fine, fuck it, you can have your nudity, toilet humour and tits, but it's just not intellectually stimulating!". They like to think with their other brains! :P
Fez - July 31, 2005 11:49 PM (GMT)
ok so Ive been bumped to next week, wow my hockey team are going to hassle the shit out of me.
Still doesnt mean Im going to do anymore Geekweekly, Im all out of ideas, no time and too apathetic to care.
Tell Alec not to worry about stooping to the HC levels this week, for when I walked past the cafeteria box there was a large group of students laughing and pointing at the mag saying things like "This is awesome! Look theres me!" So it seems the masses are pleased.
Steveo - August 1, 2005 01:31 AM (GMT)
Yeah, everyone seems to be pleased. Ironic

I am too busy reading Edward W Said's book to bother with crack em
Zoot - August 1, 2005 04:18 AM (GMT)
Anything by Edward Said is superior to this week's Craccum.
The designer cut off my Zimbabwe GAN and made me cry.
the oob - August 1, 2005 04:29 AM (GMT)
Craccum trying to be intellectual is like Hustler trying to be artistic, it's wrong and you know it's wrong.
Zoot - August 1, 2005 04:46 AM (GMT)
Fez - August 1, 2005 06:15 AM (GMT)
ok upon closer inspection Alec was right, this week was shit.
Worst issue they have done this year. Everything was fucking boring.
No bias here either.
