He really was in need of a good fuck, so he desperately looked for a suitable object to satisfy his needs. Suddenly, Superman] caught sight of Spiderwoman] lying naked on the beach with her legs spread out. "That's the one!" Superman] thought, "But what if she won't let me in?? Well, she won't notice anything if I use my hyper-speed!" ..and so he did. After Superman] had finished his "job", Spiderwoman] said: "Funny.. for a second there, I could swear I had an extra weight on me!" Then the Invisible Man], lying on top of Spiderwoman] commented: "Well, I have no idea what it was, but I feel a hell of a pain in my ass!!" [ [ _Joke sent in by: AXA of X-MEN ----> Thanks!_ --End-- {{ {{ {{ {{ Why does Mrs. Thatcher always wear barbed wire underwear ...?? ???? {{ {She doesn't. It's a joke !{!{!{ {{ HIIIEEAAH! {The Crusaders{ are back ! Important: Don't stop reading this scroll, because later on there will be messages etc. to lots of people. Even though you don't know any of us, there might be a message to {you{ - so read on !! Ok, first of all - please welcome our new member : {F{ L{ E{ S{ H{ B{ R{ A{ I{ N - a really outtathisworld wonderful musician. { Fleshbrain{ was not in any group before he joined us - he's from Turku, Finland and he makes music for a living. His band's 2nd LP is out soon. If the sound from your {Amiga{ is turned on, you're enjoying one of his pieces right now. This one is called {"{P{o{l{a{r{C{h{a{s{e{". We needed another musician, because Dr.Awesome is now doing more game music and El Cubo is more dedicated to programming. Anyway, {WELCOME{ to the gang Fleshbrain !!! Ok, now an important message to all graphics artists: {The Crusaders{ are looking for an {excellent{ graphics maker who is very productive. We can offer you membership in a group with great friendship, a group that wants to have loads of fun and doesn't take itself too seriously. If you're good at graphics (logos, pictures, fonts...) send us some examples of your work. {ALL{ disks will be returned. {Promise!{ Anyway, as you all can see, we're here to bring you the latest results from our bi-monthly votes-collection called {"{T{h{e{ O{f{f{i{c{i{a{l {C{r{u{s{a{d{e{r{s {E{u{r{o{c{h{a{r{t{ T{o{p{-{T{e{n{". If you haven't seen it before, here's just a few words explaining what it's all about... Every second month we collect votes from hundreds of Amiga users of all kinds, {c{o{l{o{u{r{s{ and ages, and bring you the results on a disk that will be distributed to about 500 Amiga groups/users all over Europe. What's different about the {Eurochart{, is that everyone can vote, not just a few selected groups. Since we started this back in November 89, we've had a steadily growing number of votes coming in. Now it's almost too much, but just keep sending them votes - we love it! Soon we'll need a person on full-time, just administrating and counting the votes! In the {Eurochart{ there's voting about lots of Amiga- and non-Amiga things, and of course the well known "Joke of the Month". We have been considering printing more than one joke each time because loads of jokes are being sent to us and we think many of them are good enough for the chart. Maybe next time there will be 5 or more "Jokes of the Month". Another idea might be to present some more jokes in the scrolltext. That's what we'll do this time - next time who knows ? You've probably noticed that the EuroChart has changed a bit since we first started doing it. This is thanks to all the useful hints and positive (ehem, and some negative..) critisism we have got from you readers. We really appreciate this! In order to keep the chart interesting, we will always listen to our readers and consider your ideas etc. So keep them coming ! We're quite sure there will be more changes in the future, but we can't think of everything ourselves, so please help us! Both positive and negative critisism, ideas etc. are very welcome. Ok, to anyone who might be interested (probably no-one...) here's the complete Crusaders memberlist as of March 1st 1990.... {The Crusaders{ are: (a-z) {Bravestarr{ (Spreader) {Copper {(Coder) {Dr.Awesome {(Music) {Dr.Claw {(Coder) {Dr.Outtasight {(Sysop Crusaders BBS) {Dr.Shitface {(Coder) {ECS {(Spreader) {El Cubo {(Coder & a little music) {Excalibur {(Coder) {Fleshbrain {(Music) {Lazerbrain {(Spreader) {Rusc {(Graphics) {Savatage USA {(Spreader, graphics) {Swapperboy {(Spreader, currently in the army) {Switchblade {(Coder) {Yster {(Graphics) {Zeb {(Hardware support) {Zuggly {(Coder) Ok, that was the memberlist (first time ever presented I believe!). If anyone not on this list claims to be a member of The Crusaders, he's a liar. But, as we mentioned, we're looking for another graphics artist so if you want to join us, send us some examples ! (You can use the address given in the opening screen of this EuroChart.) Yes well correct me if I'm wrong but now I think it's time for some good old-fashioned scrolltext bullshit. This scroller will unfortunately not include a complete greetings-list, but there will be a few personal helloes and messages - so read on! First: congratulations to {Scoopex Finland{ on the "7 sins" demo. {Great{ piece of work, and congratulations {Uncle Tom{ for the wonderful piece of music in that demo. At the time of writing this scroller, we haven't started counting the votes yet, but I should think that Scoopex will probably do very well on several charts, because they have excellent coders, excellent graphics and excellent music. Maybe they will even show up on the "Best groups" chart?? Congrats and thanks to both {Newsflash UK{ (Hi Spadger!) and {U.G.A.{ (Hi Ron!) for offering us something a little "different"! Congrats to {Setrox{ who are VERY active with trainers etc these days and to their supah-cool spreader {Pioneer{ who keeps sending that stuff every single day. Our deep deep personal thanks to {Rico "Beanbag" Holmes{, who I understand is doing some graphics for us right now. And the same goes to {Dr.C{ of {RSI{ for making some really cool graphics for us. Thanks a lot mate - we really do appreciate it, and if there's ever anything we can do in return... Congratulations to {Brainstorm{ for the very nice disk-mag "{Zine{". Congratulations to {Al Brimble{ for the "Showtune" piece - very good indeed! Deutche hallo's to {Garfield und Beate{ - our best German friends - the love birds! Ey Up's to those wicked guys in {BSS{ ({B{ritish {S{wapping {S{yndicate, isn't it?) Your "oooOOO it's Mental TOO" disk was sort of bittersweet (?) but at least we had a few (very) good larfs! Loved the animations! Congrats and thanks a lot to {Kefrens{! Not only did they give us the wonderful {Seka 3.2{ but now also another vital tool - their {IFF converter{ is the best so far. We should have more guys like Kefrens around! Special helloes to {Phoenix New Zealand{ who usually sit under the trees and make phone calls! And finally of course a million thanks to those who have showed their interest by voting for the {Eurochart{. Well ladies and gentlemen it looks like that concludes the scrolltext for this time. Let's hope you find this issue of the EuroChart interesting and we in Crusaders are looking forward to seeing you again in the next issue! Remember - keep your pants up and your shoes clean - Until next time : Bye bye { { { {
