The brain of Bootiliscious pop diva, Beyonce Knowles, her in Destiny's
Child, is thrown cruelly into the body of that loveable 1960's Australian
kids tele series marsupial, Skippy the bush kangaroo, by an accident with a
crudely experimental teleporter, built entirely from HTML commands!

All was peaceful and quiet....
Just the sound of Greebo heaving his guts,
Echoed through the twilight!
We-a-a-a-lll it's that damned time of year again,
CiH on the keys, on this long December evening.
I had nothing better to do, so the idea of this
ASCII-matic Christmas card came to me, and I
experimented with a few half-formed ideas, before If
I decided to stick with what I know. That is, the I
good old ASCII-Nation alternative ASCII universe was

particular, might choose to celebrate Christmas. Laser,
I'd
Of course, the basic idea was down on the screen draw
in about ten minutes. Tidying it up, took a lot some
longer than that. Hope you like it. Why not print pretty
it out and display it to your disbelieving family pattern
and friends. Then watch them commit you to the to
nearest mental hospital, under whatever legal fill
powers they have, to protect society from dodgy in
people like you! this

Christmas, is it a pain, or is it a bore? It's space.
not as if you get what you actually want. Most
people reading this doggerel have their own But
minds eye picture of the ideal Xmas gift. This I'm
would be a thousand pound/euro gift voucher not
for the alternative reality computer store known him,
as "Atari World". In Atari World, the brand new so

know better, you know what it can really do! /\

You buy it, there's still some money left over -/ /-
from the gift voucher, so you pick up a superbly \/\

this is the fantasy coming true alternative +
reality! Still some money left on the voucher +
even now, so you grab that copy of Willy's Virtua ./\.
Adventures, that you promised for yourself. You \/\.

Oh imagine the hours of fun when you get this lot \/\.

Still, never mind. As the past year has shown, Stop
not to mention the years before that, the most fun it
comes from making your own fantasy come true, even now,
with the limited means that you have got. And I you're
think it is going to be the same for this year as scaring

pointy-headed boss in the workplace, have a happy
and PRODUCTIVE new year as well!
Okay, you're bored, and so am I now. See you all
next year sometime, folks!
