there have been some "things" going on about reinier...<br> 
first of all, coolrock phoned me and told me that reinier and he would Œ…–… scl to found a musiccompany...<br> 
snapp prevented this at the  last minute, and only reinier left...<br>   
the reason for reinier to leave was that he found his musics were used not often enough.<br> 
reinier now entirely quit the scene...<br><br>

are you tired of being fed up with all those cheap ÐÌÁÓÔÉÃ ÍÅÁÌÓ?<br><br>

would you like something different instead of ƒ „ŽŒ„§“?<br>                 
yes? then you should try some of the deee-licious meals presented here at GIT'S KITCHEN TIP!!<br>                     
this month's recipe is ”•’Ž ’•Ž„      ‚‰”ƒˆ, a snack which owes its name to the way of making it... <br>                
the dutchmen among us know this snack as WENTELTEEFJES.<br><br>                         

take it away git...<br>                                                             

okay, let's start right away...<br>         
to prepare this crunchy snack, you need:<br>                                                         
3 eggs<br>                                 
some milk<br>                              
some butter<br>                        
some slices of bread<br>                      
cinnamon (kaneel)<br>                         
a frying pan<br>                    
a blender or mixer (whiizzz!)<br>                    
and a bowl.<br><br>                                                      

now, break the shells of the eggs with a hammer and put the stuff that comes out of the eggs in the bowl.<br>                
after that, you can put some milk in it,blend it until there's no more egg-slimein the mixture, and put some cinnamon on it.                                     now take a slice of bread and drown it  in your mixture.                        
now, if you are a smart kid, you have already lit the fire on your stove and put the frying pan on it with some      
butter in it which is supposed to be melting.                                
now take your slice of bread (which will be dead if it took you too long to lightthe fire) and put it in your pan, 
and be careful for the spetters wich might come off.                                    
now if the slice of (maybe drowned) bread is brown and crispy on one side, just turn that BITCH over and do the    
other side. (”•’Ž ’•Ž„ ‚‰”ƒˆ®®® “……¿) you can do this with as much bread as you would like.                                                                 now put the shit on a plate and eat it with sugar or some other sweet shit...  (i heard bitches like sweets!)                                                  good luck and....   bon appetite!       

watch out for next month's recipe.

the git and harlequin are producing a game called TORMENTOR OF THE DEEP, which
is some kind of submarine warfare sim.  you're commander aboard the "orpheus", a
highly advanced nuclear sub, and you should shoot anything that moves. 
(well, Œ“” anything... would be a shame for those whales!)                
it's a game with elements of a shoot 'emup, an adventure and a tactical interactive movie, 
so i think this is a game worth looking out for...                
we're not sure when it's finished, but keep your eyes and ears open for more updates on this product...

- interview! -                                                       

this month's interview was done with             ‡‰š/ÓÉÌÉÃÏÎ ÌÔÄ!                                                                 
h = harlequin
g = gizmo                                                         

h: yo gizmo, tell us something about yourself!                            
g: i'm 18 years young, i have a black c64, i'm still trying to educate myself and i'm a coder from silicon!!  
h: how long do you own your 64?         
g: for the first three years i got one, i only played games, but i didn't own a diskdrive. then that 64 broke down. 
about 3 years after that i bought a new one, and painted it black!       
h: what do you think of git's TURN AROUND BITCHES?                      
g: well, when you're drunk, their edible. (hrmpf...  git.)             
h: how did you get into the scene?      
g: first i was fucking around with ‚“‰ƒ together with some locals, then i met ÍÃÄ at a party and we made an
appointment, and later he started to learn me coding. i learned fast, as i can program for about a year.                           later i joined ˆ”ƒ, for which i made two demoparts which were never released.                               
and then the git phoned me and asked me to join, so here i am!!           
h: how does SEX involve in your life?   
g: what kind of a stupid question is that?  oh well, since they didn't make amigas with ”‰”“, i'll just stick to women.                      h: okay, who do you really admire in the scene?                               
g: uh, ÆÌÁÍÉÎÇÏ of ÌÉÇÈÔ, because of his perfect vector-routies!              
h: do you have a girlfriend?            
g: i had a real relation for two years, but now i'm just fucking around.     
h: fucking around?                      
g: well, never sticking to a girl for a longer period than one week!         
h: which object do you really hate to look at?                             
g: CBA/TRC's mouth, especially when he's eating Ž„ laughing at the same time!
h: okay, i wanna quit this melige crap, but before i leave you, do you want     to say anything?                     
g: all you guys, who think you're god,you're just suckheads, coz i created god!!                                   
and remember: drank maakt meer kapot    dan je lief is...     (eh ÔÉÍ?)      
h: okay, thanx for this piece of shit!  
g: flush it through the toilet man, and goodnight!                                                                   

some of you might think gizmo is a real ƒŽƒ…”‰…„ ““ˆŒ…, but the reason for gizmo being so grumpy is that 
the interview was done while gizmo was in the toilet (honest!), so don't get overexcited...

these people use our name to release weak ‡‰ƒ„‰ƒ‹-"cracks", release a dumb magazine which wasn't even made by themselves, 
and boast around that they are number 3 in the austrian scene!!!       

our reaction to these weaklings: hahaha!

(RRRIIPP! eh,  gizmo?)

do you feel utterly depressed?        
are dark clouds obscuring the sun?        
is there no more sense in life?
