BOOGIE MONSTERS "The Underwater Album" Well this is the fall joint that a lot of people have been waiting for. It has the hard type joints for niggas that's into that and enough smooth & mellow joints to play while gettin sessed or having a little get together (common on college campuses). My personal favorites are Mark of the Beast (dark and just phat), Bronx Bombas (a lovely chill track), and Old Man Jacob's Well (one of the best storytelling songs I've heard in a long time!). Oh can't forget Salt Water Taffy! I freestyled to this track for about a fucking day in my Walkman. The lyrics are consistently cool with no awesomely spectacular displays of skills but these kids seem like they could hold their own in a cipher. But the music makes this a definite tape for the jeeps & walkmans. Butter baby! RATING: * * * * (4/5) Slammin!! FRESH SOUNDTRACK Well I didn't know what to expect when I got this, but in the end, I rather enjoyed it. The little Genius joint "Watcha Back" is nice with the Genius droppin jewels for those that don't know. My favorite is the Raekwon's "Heaven or Hell"... this is the motherfucking shit!!! If you don't believe, BETTER ASK SOMEBODY cuz this shit is dope! I played this at least 50 times the first night I got this CD. The music..slams, the lyrics.. slam, and Raekwon's voice adds the flavor to make it butter! The remix of "..All So Simple" is lovely too, with a much harder edge, different lyrics and different track (sorta) with Ghostface Killer's part being rather lovely. The rest of the CD may not appeal to non-heads or new schoolers, but it brought back memories of better times for me with lots of classic hip-hop joints like Whodini's "Freaks Come Out At Night", Fresh 3 MCs "Fresh", and more. Overall, I loved this CD but some may not feel the same. RATING: * * * 1/2 (3.5/5) A Hit! B.I.G. " " OK I really didn't expect much from mister Smallz but hey I liked "Party & Bullshit" & his little cameo on the last Heavy D tape made me slightly curious as to this fat man. One word describes my feelings about Biggie Smallz...Nice! The kid is definetely nice! His lyrics not on the level of a Nas, Rakim, or Del more than convey his views across. He is a very good storyteller and his voice only adds to the effects his lyrics convey. The productions goes from OK to DOPE, but gems on this CD are "Machine Gun Funk", "Everyday Struggle", "Suicidal Thoughts", and the shiznit "The What" a duet with the Method Man (please make this a single w/ a video). Unlike some guests on albums, Meth doesn't upstage BIG but they flow like to insane brother split at birth. This album is a move in the right direction. (I hate Juicy but it's puttin $$$ in his pockets so it's all good I guess) RATING: * * * * (4/5) Slammin! Lo-Life with the album I had to review... COMMON SENSE "Resurrection" Before I continue, I must first say that I am from Chicago, have known Rashied Lynn (Common Sense) since about 7 and although you may think this is biased, I read the Source's review and I think the Source is fulla shit anywayz but they would have given that nigga 4 1/2 mics if he was from NY but enough of that, one with the review... This album contains no guns, no blunts, no bitchez just straight lyrics about a nigga and his love for Chicago (which he represents to the fullest) and his love for hip-hop. The subject goes from hangin on the streets of Chicago (87th to be exact - my old strip), kickin it with females in high schools (makes reference to my old HS - Kenwood), and even small references to gangs in the Chi. The lyrical depth and methods come at you in bursts so quick you have to rewind to pick them all up. He stills quote TV like Peg Bundy might and if you from Chicago you will just laugh at the local jokes he sticks in his lyrics ("I got more rhymes than folks in the Manor"). The production is nice on all the tracks, with standouts being "In My Own World", "I Used to Love H.E.R.", "Nothing To Do". The album is a winner in my book with even non-heads being able to sit back and enjoy 90% of the songs on the CD. It seems kinda short compared to the first album but it's still got mad flava! RATING: * * * * 1/2 (4.5/5) Almost A Classic And a fuck you to anyone who doesn't like my fucking rating, cuz the shit is slammin so don't front!! Anywayz, I still haven't heard that new Black Moon shit yet, but out in the Midwest, shit seems to take forever to get here anyway. That new Craig Mack remix video is the shit! How'd he get LL to work with them I'll never know but it's nice to see LL doing something beside the "Big Bad Wolf"!! {---------------------------------------------------------------------------} T V & M o v i e s {---------------------------------------------------------------------------} with your host for today: Lo-Life I've seen so much shit lately between tapes & the movies this is goin to be a little longer than usual. So let's kick it... "The Professional: Golgo 13" Yep a cartoon, but a PHAT ASS CARTOON! If you even like action movies a little, this shit will be the mother- fuckin bomb! Sex, violence, action, plot twists, the whole nine. Duke Togo, a world famous hitman known as Golgo 13, is paid to do a hit on a rich MF's son and of course finishes the job and that's when shit starts to happen. After that job, he's goes on another to kill some big Mafia guy in Italy who turns out to be a bitch, who he fucks a couple times and then kills. Then the big guns (CIA, FBI, Armed Forces, etc.) try to off Golgo 13 but to no avail. The rest of the movie revolves around the rich MF paying the big guns to off Golgo-13 while Mr. Togo is still getting his loot on (and his fuck on!) The people they throw at him are dope yet he overcomes and the ending is classic. I must say one thing, he gets more pussy in the first 30 minutes than a lot of niggas do all week! But, this shit is dope and go rent it (or take it, whatever you prefer) from Blockbuster and just get blunted (or not, I wasn't for once) and enjoy! RATING: * * * * 1/2 (4.5/5) Almost a Classic!! "Above The Rim" OK so I'm a little late peeping this movie, but for those that haven't seen it either, I'll kick the Willie Bobo. The story is about this kid (Duane Martin) whose ball skillz are goin to get him to college at Georgetown (my favorite school!!). He's a gun (a fucking rocket launcher!!) and a showboat, but has skillz notheless. He become torn between his coach whose trying to help him get to school and a thug from around the way (Tupac) who wants him for this tournament to win some loot. Tupac's brother (Leon) is a former school legend who tries to keep Duane from fallin off like he did and keep him on the right path. The end is the usual sappy shit with Tupac's team beating the shit (literally) out of the school team in the finals and Leon's lacing up the Js to play with Duane and they win. The end is kinda funny though cuz... well I'll let you see it for yourself but it tickled me a little (I'm a sick person!). It's a straight flick but it ain't quite what I expected. RATING: * * * (3/5) Good "Jason's Lyric" I hated this movie and I'd give it no stars but it had redeeming qualities. First, the plot is sad. It's a love story that tries to be gangsta flick that tries to be a love story. It's a about this guy Jason(Allen Payne from New Jack City) ,his just released brother from jail (Bokeem Woodbine from Strapped) and this girl Lyric (Jada Pinkett -her FINE ASS, why she got blond ass hair NOW?!?!) and their little three way joint. Jason tries to keep his brother Joshua off the streets and keep him straight, Lyric wants Jason to leave and go somewhere (?!) with her, and Joshua just wants to hustle and get drunk everyday. Treach (get to him in a minute) is Lyric's brother who get Joshua in on this little heist and well... the plot follows formulas after that. Now, my many beefs!!!! First, why is Lyric a goddamn space cadet?! This broad drove me nuts with the shit she said and did! Jason an fuckin idiot who literally chases Lyric down to get with her! (She's fine but stop sweating please!) Joshua's an idiot for gettin in on the heist with Treach and his crew cuz he don't know them MFs and you never do no dirt with MFs you don't know cuz they will trick off in a minute if they caught! (Go see Resevoir Dogs - dude didn't trick, he just was 5-0). Oh, and the big one, TREACH CANNOT ACT!!! He couldn't act up if he was on cloud nine with directions!!! His character who was supposed to be SO HARD, after getting his ASS KICKED didn't tell his "crew" who did it, and cried like a bitch when they got killed and his sista got shot! Now, the few good points. Jada Pinkett naked....YES is all I can say cuz that nigga Jason GOT BUSY!! The movie was funny when it wasn't supposed to be (I was lifted but the rest of the audience wasn't and they laughed at the same shit!) like at the end when Lyric gets shot, just peep what Joshua says! The shit was stupid funny. And I don't care about telling what happen- ed in this movie cuz it was BUTT!! RATING: * (1/5) w/o noticing a naked Jada Pinkett RATING: * 1/2 (1.5/5) noticing a naked Jada Pinkett Tupac Interview on BET. No rating here, but those who missed it, it was kinda cool seeing "Mr. Thug Life" being calm and relaxed and talking like the individual we know he is. He sounded very intellectual (no surprise I always thought he was smart) and talked about his various experiences and scuffles with the law. I think he has always be "hard" but not the insane maniac he portrays himself, or I should say the media, portrays him to be. He just anotha nigga out here with a few more papes than the rest of us, and after his incidents with police kickin his ass and crackin his dome in Oakland (I think it was) and them off-duty bitches tried to shoot him down South he kinda like FUCK IT & THEM. But if you get a chance to see it, just watch and listen to Tupac Shakur, not 2PAC, talk about himself and you will understand him if you didn't already! OK. There's not much else to not on the idiot tube or at the flicks except there's a new Spike joint comin out, I missed the new Nightmare (had free passes and lost em), and some other shit too. So next iss, I try to catch some more shit and get back with ya.

Enjoy!! ------------------------------------------------------------ Presidential Powers -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This nation has been gearing up for internal problems for many years. Hundreds of Presidential Executive Orders have been issued to allow emergency powers under any type of crisis-- perceived or real. A Presidential Executive Order, whether Constitutional or not, becomes law simply by its publication in the Federal Registry, bypassing Congress completely. Here are just a few Executive Orders that would suspend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. These Executive Orders have been on record for nearly 30 years and could be enacted by the simple stroke of a presidential pen: PEO10990 allows the government to take over all modes of transportation and control of hihgways and seaports. PEO10995 allows the government to seize and control the communication media. PEO10997 allows the government to take over all electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels and minerals. PEO10998 allows the government to take control of all food sources and farms. PEO11000 allows the government to mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision. PEO11001 allows the government to take over all health, education and welfare functions. PEO11002 designates the Postmaster General to operate a national registration of all persons. PEO11003 allows the government to seize control of all airports and aircraft, including commercial aircraft. PEO11004 allows the housing and Finance Authority to relocate communities, build new housing with public funds, designate areas to be abandoned, and establish new locations for populations. PEO11005 allows the government to take control of railroads, inland waterways and public storage facilities. PEO11051 specifies the responsibility of the Office of Emergency Planning and gives authorization to put all Executive Orders into effect in times of increased international tensions and economic or financial crisis. PEO11310 grants authority to the Department of Justice to enforce the plans set out in Executive Orders, to institute industrial support, to establish judicial and legislative liaison, to control all aliens, to operate penal and correctional institutions, and to advise and assist the President. Without Congressional approval, the President now has the power to transfer whole populations to any part of the country, the power to suspend the Press and to enforce a national registration of all persons. The President, in essence, has dictatorial powers never provided to him under the Constitution. The President has the power to suspend the Bill of Rights in any real or perceived emergency. Unlike Lincoln or Roosevelt, these powers are not derived from any wartime need, but from *any* crisis-- domestic or foreign, hostile or economic.

The bottom of a pop can is half cut out and bent back. A giant firecracker (or other explosive is put in and surrounded with nuts and bolts or rocks. The fuse is then armed with a chemical delay in a plastic drinking straw. After first making sure there are no kids around, the acid or glycerin is put in the straw and the can is set down by a tree or wall where it won't be disturbed. The delay should give you three to five minutes. It will have a shattering effect on any visitors. || || || <-Chemical Igniter --------- | !1! | | ===== | |*| |"| | | | | | | | |<- Big Firecracker | | |%| | ===== | | | | # | | --- | | | |<- Nuts & Bolts | / | --------- ------------------------------------------------------------ Soda Can of Death II -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Edited by Wisdom This is one of the most deadly, evil, vile, destuctive and just plain dire explosive devices known. This weapon operates on the "Deadman's Switch" theory, but is easily disguised as an innocent recyclable object. The reason it is so demonic, is that once it is set, merely TOUCHING the device will set it off. Thus one could place it on a doorstep, behind a car, or just in the middle of the street where some innocent passer-by could mistakenly set it off. Even worse, some cheap fool, or environmentally concious person could set it off. Depending on what type of explosive you use, and whether or not you add shrapnel, the device's power could range from a small flare, to a tremendous detonation! The concept is quite simple, and will be given in an easy step by step format, for your reading pleasure. :) 1. Decide what you want to do with the bomb, to use it as a scare tactic, or to detonate a city block, or maybe just a small, but powerful explosion. 2. Pick up the following ingredients for the bomb: (1) Aluminum can used for soda or beer. Ranging from 12oz and up. (1) Spool of wire, any color. Preferably solid. Fone wire works nice. (1) Mercury Switch.(optional) (1) Mini SPST Switch. (1) SPST pushbutton switch. Normally ON. (1) Spool of solder, and a nice iron. Neatness counts! (1) Nine Volt Battery. 2A. Now here's where your decision in step 1 counts.. If you want a scare tactic, Pick up some flash powder (or flare powder) and a nice 1.5V flashlight bulb. (convieniently available at your local RADIO-SHACK) 2B. WHAT!? You want to detonate a city block?! You are a lunatic! Go to your local store and pick up some ammonium nitrate (instant coldpacks, or fertilizer ). Now aquire, or make (not advised) a nice #8 blasting cap. On second thought, making one might be better for your purposes, because you can make it MILITARY style. (75% more powerful than conventional blasting caps. ) #8's have a tendency not to work well with Ammonium Nitrate. 2C. Just a nice routine explosion eh? Pick up a flashlight bulb (1.5V) and some gun powder, or black powder. 3. Take your nice, innocent can, and empty the contents. Cut the top CLEAR off right under the rim. DON'T Be messy, if you bend the can, start over. Neatness makes the bomb WORK. 4. Drill a hole in the direct center of the bottom of the can, barely big enough to thread the pushbutton switch in, and secure it with the handy bolt that comes with it. 5. Now cut a small rectangular hole, near the inside edge of the bottom of the can to house the mini switch. 6. OK, the CAN section of your process is complete. Time for the hard part. Hope you can solder. / | |-------------------------------/ -----------|-----------| | | --- | + ---------------------- | | ---- | |-----------//-----| |9 | | | | V| ---------------------------- | | | | | ---- \ / \ / 0 KEY: 9V : Nine Volt Battery. 0 : Detonator, or flashlight bulb. / : Mini SPST switch. / | : Pushbutton switch. | --- // : Mercury Switch. + : Positive terminal. - : Negative terminal, or wire. |,/,\ : Wire. Ok, now that I've wasted your precious time with that horrid diagram, I will explain it. The wires leading to and from the mercury switch are NOT TO BE PUT in if the mercury switch is omited. Simply enough, The current goes through the wires to the first switch, if the first switch is ON, it goes to the next switch, if this switch is on, It goes to the detonator, which in turn explodes the device. I recommend you test your circuit with a multi-tester before you go about construction of the bomb. This will help to assure a NON-DUD. I advise that you remove the nice detonator before doing this, unless of course you are a masochist. 7. You managed to follow the diagram and constructed the WORKING(optimal word here) circuit. OK.. now the fun begins. Place the pushbutton switch in it's proper hole, and secure. Do the same with the mini switch. Tape the good ol nine-volt battery to the inside of the can. Add some epoxy for safety's sake. MAKE SURE NO WIRES TOUCH EACH OTHER! IF THEY DO.. well.. alas.. a good militant was he. 8. OK, fill the can up about 1/4th the way up with your explosive of choice. Pack if desired. Get a small amount of shrapnel if desired and add generously. Add no more than 1/4th the total weight of the can. 9. If you opted to use the mercury switch, place that here. Place it in a manner so that if the can is moved from the vertical direction it will set off the detonator. 10. If you are mercury-less place the detonator here. If you used the switch fill the can with enough explosives to cover your newly placed switch. If you have used the flashlight bulb, now is the time to CAREFULLY break the bulb, WITHOUT damaging the filament.. test with a multi-tester.. If you screw up.. your bad luck. 11. If you used the switch, place your detonator here. In either case, fill the can the rest of the way up. 12. Get out the epoxy and glue the top back on. You have just made a soda can.. Now, if you are proceding with this file, before reading it completely, you are probably dead about now. Here's why you died: During the final stages, you left the mini switch ON. This is the arming switch, and should ONLY be used during testing, and planting. You managed to build up a large amount of static electricity and discharged it into a can full of explosives. Bad move. Use ANTI-Static spray to avoid this. You did this by a nice, warm open fire. Or better yet you smoked nearby the device. Bravo on an excellent demise. You left the device stiing in your nice hot window sill, where it exploded killing your family. I applaud you. You decided the instructions weren't good enough for you, and WINGED it. You let some wires touch in the final stage of construction. Avoid this by coating all wires and leads with melted plastic, use electical tape, or covered wires. The second method is prefered. Well, If you got this far.. you are alive. (I hope!!) OK, you have your nice, prepared device, and wish to plant it. This is simple. Sort of. There is a danger factor involved, so be forewarned. Take the device to the site. DO NOT arm it until it is absolutely ready! This is CRITICAL! The easiest place to put is is on a raised platform such as a door step. Place the can on the edge of the step, make sure it is perfectly vertical. The pushbutton switch should be pushed in now, and in the OFF position. Now CAREFULLY arm the device. CAREFULLY slide it over to about the center of the door step, so that it gets kicked over when someone steps outside. If you used the mercury switch, you now realize why it is optional. If you move the can too fast, the switch will detonate you. If you are placing this on a large flat surface, using the mercury switch is HIGHLY advised against! Place a VERY thin sheet of paperboard under your can, compressing the bottom switch. Poke a hole in the bottom of the can, so that it can be armed. Arm the device, and place it on the ground. Push down on the top of the device, and SLOWLY remove the paperboard. If the paperboard was thin enough you survived. Get the hell out of there, and DO yourself a favor, and wear gloves.. finger prints are NOT A GOOD THING!! Ok, The mercury switch is VERY VERY dangerous, but it also makes it absolutely impossible to disarm the bomb should someone discover it. The paperboard can be simply cut away from the edges in the flat surface bomb. This can be extremely useful in circumstances where you are placing the bomb in an area that is very bumpy, or rocky, like loose sand or dirt. Or if you just prefer to keep your life. How Your Bomb Works: Well, simply enough, once it is armed, if the pushbutton switch is released the circuit will be completed. With the mercury switch added, if either the switch or the button is tripped, it will explode. The current will set off the detonator, or if you used the flashlight bulb, It will cause a high intensity flame to be produced for about 1-2 seconds. This is quite enough to explode any light explosive. To tell you the truth, you can use any explosive that you desire with this bomb. One time I even saw one of these made completely of THERMITE. Holy shit the whole can just melted, and fused with the road tar. If you want, you can use plastique, or just pour in some nitroglycerine(HA!). ------------------------------------------------------------ Saltpeter (or Potassium Nitrate) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Potassium Nitrate (Saltpeter) can be extracted from many natural sources (as well as bought from some drug stores) and can be used to make nitric acid, black powder, and many other pyrotechnics. The yield ranges from .1 to 10% by weight, depending on the fertility of the soil. Ingredients: Source: ============ ======= Nitrate bearing earth or Soil containing old decaying other material, about 3-1/2 vegetable or animal matter; gallons (13-1/2 liters). Old cellars and/or farm dirt floor; Earth from old burial brounds; Decayed stone or mortar building foundations Fine wood ashes about a 1/2 cup Totally burned whitish wood ash powder (1/8 liter) Totally burned paper (Black) Bucket (or container) about 5 gallons (19 liters) in volume (Plastic, Metal, or Wood) 2 pieces of finely woven cloth larger than botton of container Shallow pan or dish, at least as big as bottom of bucket Shallow heat resistant container (Ceramic, Metal, etc...) 1-3/4 gallons of water (6-3/4 liters) Something to make holes (Screwdriver, knife, etc...) 1 gallon of alcohol (4 liters) (Whiskey, rubbing alcohol, etc..) Heat source (Fire, electric heater, etc..) Paper Tape NOTE: The ratios of ingredients are only important. For double the saltpeter, double the quantities used. Punch holes in bottom of the bucket. Spread one piece of cloth inside the bucket. Place wood ashes on cloth and spread to make a layer about the thickness of the cloth. Place second cloth on top of the ashes. Place dirt in the bucket. Place bucket over shallow container. Bucket can be supported on sticks if necessary. Boil water and pour it thru dirt in bucket a little at a time. Allow water to run thru holes in bucket into shallow container. Be sure water goes thru ALL the dirt. Allow drained liquid to cool and settle for 1 to 2 hours. NOTE: Do not pour all the water at once because this may cause a stoppage. Carefully drain off liquid into heat resistant container. Discard any sludge remaining in bottom of shallow container. Boil mixture over hot fire for at least 2 hours. Small grains of salt will begin to appear in the solution. Scoop these out as they form, using a strainer of some kind. (Paper ,etc..) When liquid has boiled down to have it's original size, remove from fire and let it sit. After half an hour add an equal amount of alcohol. When mixture is poured thru paper, small white crystal will collect on top of it. To purify the potassium nitrate, re-dissolve the dry crystals in the smallest possible amount of boiled water. Remove any salt crystal that appear and pour thru an improvised filter made of several pieces of paper and evaporate or gently heat the concentrated solution to dryness. Spread crystals on flat surface and allow to dry. The potassium nitrate crystals are ready for use! ------------------------------------------------------------ Uses for Saltpeter(Potassium Nitrate) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Black Powder ------------- This can be used as blasting or gun powder. Ingredients =========== 3 cups Saltpeter, granulated (3/4 liters) 2 cups Wood Charcoal, powdered (1/2 liters) 1/2 cup Sulfur, powdered (1/8 liters) 5 pints Alcohol (Same as above..) (2-1/2 liters) 3 cups Water (3/4 liters) Heat Source 2 Two gallon buckets (one being heat resistant) (7-1/2 liters) Flat window screen, at least 1 foot square (30 cm) Large wooden stick Cloth, at least 2 feet square (60 cm) Place alcohol in one of the buckets. Place potassium nitrate, charcoal and sulfur in the heat resistant bucket. Add 1 cup of water and mix thoroughly with wooden stick until all ingredients are dissolved. Add remaining water to mixture. Place bucket on heat source and stir until small bubbles begin to form. CAUTION: Do not boil mixture. Be sure ALL of the mixture stays wet. If any is dry, as on the sides of bucket, it may ignite!! Remove bucket from heat and pour mixture into alcohol while stirring quickly. Let alcohol mixture stand about 5 minutes. Strain mixture through cloth to obtain black powder. Get rid of liquid. Wrap cloth around black powder and squeeze to remove excess liquid. Place screening over dry bucket. Place workable amount of damp powder on granulate but rubbing powder thru screen. NOTE: If granulated particles appear to stick together and change shape, re- combine entire batch of powder and strain again and go from there! Spread granulated black powder on flat dry surface so that layer about 1/2 inch (1-1/4 cm) is formed. Allow to dry. Use radiator, or direct sunlight. this should be dried as soon as possible, preferably in one hour. The longer the drying period, the less effective the black powder. CAUTION: Remove from heat AS SOON AS granules are dry. Black powder is now ready to use. More uses for Saltpeter in later issues.... ------------------------------------------------------------ FM Transmitter -=-=-=-=-=-=-= Always wanted your own radio station where here's how to do it!! Ingredients: ============ One HAM radio 6-meter band linear amplifier, to boost the FM signal from the tuner for broadcasting. A bandwidth of 6 MHz will work. One 6 meter HAM radio antenna (feet I think?!) One tuner that you will use to send out the signal. The use of a stereo tuner is HIGHLY recommended (the part you plug the other components to...) Two phono plugs to Tinned wire (Radio Shack CAT. No. 42-2371) Cost: about $2 2 long piece of copper speaker wire First take the two phone plugs and plug them into any audio OUT jacks in the back of the tuner. Now wrap the 2 Tinned wires from the end of the phone plugs around the input screws on the linear amp. Next wrap each of the speaker wires onto the output screws on the linear amp. Take the end of the speaker wire and connect it to the HAM antenna. --------- ------- ----\ /---- [ Tuner ] ----------> [ Amp ] ------------> [ Antenna ] --------- ------- ----------- Once you finish the sctual construction of the transmitter you have to decide on what sation to broadcast on. The station you choose depends on the length of the HAM antenna. The equation to find length of the antenna to use for a station is: Antenna's length in feet is 468 divided by the freq in MHz. Like for 96.3 you divide 468 by 96.3 then that answer is the length of the antenna: 468/96.3 = 4.86 feet, so cut off 1.14 feet of the 6 footer. Now play whatever you want through the audio out jack on the tuner and it will be amplified and sent out to the public. ------------------------------------------------------------ Napalm Light Bulb Bomb -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Take a light bulb and crack the globe part off. (Don't break the glass!) Take some gasoline and dishwashing detergent and mix it until it looks like honey. Fill the globe up about 1/2 inch full (don't let it touch where the filaments wound be). Place the top back on and scotch tape (or superglue) it back together (lightly). Now, turn OFF the lights and replace the bulb. The next person to flip the switch will get sprayed with flames that can't be put out! (They have to burn out!) ------------------------------------------------------------ Well that brings us to the end of another fabulous issue of URBAN magazine, the zine for the urban dweller who just might need to be informed just in case FEMA knocks on your door ready to put you in a camp! (More on that next issue!) And if you know where I can find more info on FEMA then E-Mail me and we'll give you full credit (put your name in here, etc...) So peace to the next time. Same URBAN time, same URBAN channel!! {---------------------------------------------------------------------------} M U S I C {---------------------------------------------------------------------------}
