PROPAGANDA IS SECOND TO NONE...
________________________________________
The only existing C64 based board on the
internet, SECOND TO NONE, home base of
LEGEND, will now be shased and
supported by PROPAGANDA magazine.

"We're proud to be associated with this
fine board" said DUKE to LARRY on LARRY
SING LIVE - where after he broke into a
fine version of the RADIOHEAD smash hit
song, CREEP. SECOND TO NONE is however
a private board, and access is
therefore only permitted to those
invited - as opposed to a normal public
one.

A new board is being planned though,
and it is reachable at WWW.DOT.COM. This
one however, will only allow lamers!

F4CG AND AFL GO HEAD TO HEAD..
________________________________________
The scene is usually a peaceful place,
but now i| seems as though things are
heating up below us. A few of the most
influential groups are currently
getting ready for what could be
described as a scene war - aiming their
joysticks against each other, and
plugging in their modems to cruise the
net and boards in an armed state.

The groups in question are F4CG and
ALPHA FLIGHT, who has had a mean eye for
each other a while. It all started, when
ALPHA FLIGHT criticised F4CG, calling
them a group with a short name. STYX
spoke to WAR TV and asked;

                                  cunt..

"You know what they say about groups
with short names, don't you?". Nobody
knew though. "Well, they've.. eh..
They've got a short name!!" STYX
explained.

NEWSCOPY was outraged by the statements
made by STYX, and claimed F4CG was just
an abbreviation of something longer -
although it has been so long ago anyone
mentioned it, they had forgotten all
about it. "It sounds something like
FANTASTIC FOUR CRACKING GROUPIES, but I
can't seem to remember right now.." said
a frustrated NEWSCOPY.

The cold wind between the two forces
continued, as MARC stated to WAR TV a

                                  cunt..

few days later, he thought F4CG was a
group of people, who were not very nice.
F4CG responded immediately, kidnapped
MARC and put him in front of a camera in
a small, dark cell, forcing him to say -
in a monotonous, mechanical tone of
voice; "F4CG is a peaceloving group. I
denounce all, who say they are not."

Few however believed the broadcast,
claiming it was obvious MARC was
manipulated into saying, what he did.
"MARC would never utter such a
sophisticated word as DENOUNCE" said
STYX to WAR TV.

LEGEND GETS IN SHAPE...
________________________________________
The once proud cracking-group, LEGEND,
gets ready to bring itself back into old
form, and they seem to have found the
means to get them there.

In late October, WESTBAM and POWERPLANT
travelled to RUSSIA to prepare for the
Christmas releases, working out in a hut
near MOSCOW. "It's just like ROCKY.
Remember that movie, when he prepared
for a fight in RUSSIA? Same deal here!"
stated WESTBAM to SCENE NEWS JOURNAL.

The training conditions may however not
be as similar, as WESTBAM hoped others
would believe. Apparently the program of

                                  cunt..

the day was eating pizza's and drinking
coca cola's - while at the same time
inserting disks into diskdrives, and
logging on and off internet sites.

"This is just between you and me though,
don't wanna serve others with the
secret to success on the C64" said
POWERPLANT to a gossipy journalist.

VENGEANCE WANTS TO WAX YOUR BACK...
________________________________________
The latest edition of VANDALISM NEWS,
the 29TH, was the source of a great
debate between MOREN of SCS+TRC and the
editor of the magazine, VENGEANCE.

It seems MOREN wrote VANDALISM NEWS
and criticised VENGEANCE for
remembering, that MOREN was actually
once called MORON - something he is
trying to forget. VENGEANCE however
shied away from any criticism or attack
on the part of MOREN, hoping he could
smooth-talk him into not thinking bad
about his otherwise much respected
publication. VENGEANCE wrote, he would
wax MOREN'S back, if MOREN waxed

                                  cunt..

VENGEANCE'S back. A nice gesture, sure,
but not one without consequence. MR.WAX
was furious at the suggestion made by
VENGEANCE, claiming that now everyone
would associate his name with hairy
backs - instead of a C64 cracker. "Just
because VENGEANCE used to be a member of
SUCCESS, and duing that time showered
with them - and as a result caught a
glimpse of their hairy backs - it does
not mean, he should offer to wax it for
them" said MR.WAX to WAR TV, while he
was busy waxing his car.

VENGEANCE refused to comment on the
statement made by MR.WAX, claiming he
was in bed with a mild case of
inspiration. "Don't worry. I'll shake it
before the 30TH edition of VANDALISM
NEWS" he promised.

HITMEN MAKES A LEGAL HIT...
________________________________________
HITMEN has put a contract out on the
legal market, in an attempt to release
another fresh demo. In a show in PARIS,
CURLIN revealed the coders, graphicians
and musicians on the catwalk - to the
amazement of the audience of drunken
sailors.

CURLIN was very optimistic about his
winter line-up claiming it only needed
CINDY CRAWFORD to put a true smile on
his face. "We'll also be out with an
intro collection, so a lot is in the
waiting from us" stated CURLIN, while
being photographed by an old lady
working for PLAYSCENER magazine.

                                  cunt..

The demo in question will be called
THE SICK PARK, subtitled THE LOST SCENE.
This particular demo will feature
massive graphical demonstrations by
HITMEN in the form of various pictures
of CURLIN puking his guts out.

"It's real cool! We've got pictures of
me puking after drinking beer, vodka,
gin, soda, everything. Compare the
results and win prices!" said CURLIN to
the appalled press.

FARTING IN THE WIND FOR RAMIREZ...
________________________________________
The infamous member of ONSLAUGHT,
RAMIREZ, has decided to leave his
beloved group - and also the scene. The
reason for his decision is an ISDN
phone-line, not enabling him to call
out.

"ONSLAUGHT however have made plans to
make a farewell CD, trying to bring in
enough cash to buy RAMIREZ a new
phone-line" said JAZZCAT to MO MONEY
magazine. The CD, which will be named
"FARTING IN THE WIND" sounds much like
the ELTON JOHN tribute to PRINCESS
DIANA - which of course was called
"CANDLE IN THE WIND."

                                  cunt..

JAZZCAT did not seem to care, and
stated "It's all about bringing RAMIREZ
back - so who cares, what it sounds
like?".

Although the project seem to be a
beautiful gesture, some claim the money
will not go to RAMIREZ - but instead the
DINGO HATING FEDERATION, which is run
and managed by JAZZCAT. "So what? One
dollar means one less dingo. One less
dingo means one happy JAZZCAT!!" said
JAZZCAT to the appalled press.

LEGEND CAUSES PANIC ON THE STOCKMARKET..
________________________________________
The world stood at a halt late in
October, as the stockmarkets world-wide
went crazy. A poor closing in KING HONG
KONG triggered the bad vibrations,
which resulted in major losses around
the world for stock holders.

Reasons for the trouble seem to be
unknown just yet, but another rumour
claim it is LEGEND, who is to blame,
as they were trying to divide LEGEND
into stocks - and then sell them at very
low prices.

"We were trying to raise money, so we
could supply POWERPLANT with games"

                                  cunt..

stated WBSTBAM to CNN.

MANIAC is rumoured to have been the
biggest purchaser of LEGEND stocks, and
this may mean he will soon be taking
over LEGEND - becoming the sole owner.

According to friends of MANIAC, he is
still in love with the legendary group,
and this seemed to be the only way,
he could every hope to get close to it
again. We won't keep you updated!

GREGO SENTENCED TO THE CHAIR...
________________________________________
The TEXAS member of MOTIV 8, GREGO, was
recently said to be leaving the scene -
and as a result, his board, IN LIVING
COLOR, would never go back online. The
reasons, why he made this decision,
remained unknown - till now!

According to LIFE-TIME magazine, GREGO
was caught stealing a pen at work, and
as a consequence was sentenced to death.
Some might find this to be somewhat of
a harsh sentence, but in TEXAS, the laws
are very strict, and as a result all
TEXAS citizens are awating to be
executed before the year 2OOO. Leader of
MOTIV 8, CROSSFIRE, was appalled at the

                                  cunt..

news of the death sentence. "I mean,
really. But, okay. Had it been me, he'd
stolen that pen from, I'd probably have
fried him myself" admitted CROSSFIRE to
a passing duck in the downtown area of
MUNDELSTRUP CITY.

Meanwhile CROSSFIRE is planning to
bring back his own board, as an attempt
to make up for the loss of IN LIVING
COLOR. According to CROSSFIRE, he will
rename his old board into IN BLACK AND
WHITE.

THE ALPHA FLIGHT IS DELAYED...
________________________________________
ALPHA FLIGHT is suffering from a mild
case of jetlag, claimed MARC on THE TOO
LATE SHOW with DAVID LETTERBOX.

The GERMAN based group, which has been
criticised for not being active enough
in the recent months, has apparently
had trouble with the German flight
agency - who refused to let them use
any of the European runways.

"That, and then also the stuff with
JOHN DENVER scared the hell out of all
of us!" said MARC to MEAN-SCENE-BEAN
magazine.


                                  cunt..

ALPHA FLIGHT also suffered heavy
injuries, as STYX and HERETIC recently
crashed, trying to fly overseas to the
American boards - and as a result, they
will be out of action for the next few
centuries.

"Don't worry. When we get us a couple of
new motors, we will be flying where no
man has ever flown before" said MARC,
before walking home on foot.

SCENERS COME OUT OF THE CLOSET...
________________________________________
As most of the world probably already
know, the much loved character and actor
of the ELLEN show, ELLEN DEGENERES,
chose to reveal her true sexual identity
as a fullfleshed lesbian.

A lot of talk and debate followed her
choice of coming out of the closet, but
most importantly, it has become popular
admitting ones darkest secrets.

The scene and its population was no
different. JACK ALIEN admitted on a
press conference, he once preferred
water instead of beer - however, this
only happened once, he underlined.

                                  cunt..

BOD also admitted a dark secret. He once
looked at a girls breasts for a couple
of seconds, and on top of that, he also
once smoked a cigarette - but claim he
did not inhale. "As a result, I was sick
for weeks after!" said BOD to the
wondering press.

In the wake of all these revelations,
support groups are popping up
everywhere. Also the editor of the text,
you are currently reading, DUKE, had to
admit a horrible truth. "I once read
some of my own text, and just like BOD,
I was sick for weeks after!" said DUKE,
who is currently being treated at
EDITORS ANONYMOYS - a support group for
magazine editors.

                                  cunt..

The moral of this story is, if you have
a dark secret hidden deep down inside
of you, just come out and reveal it to
the world. Sure, everyone will hate you,
point fingers at you and toss stones in
your direction - but you will feel a
whole lot better!

ANTICHRIST IS THE SCENE...
________________________________________
A highly doubtful story recently
developed in a PC magazine, and it seems
a former C64 person is behind the whole
mess.

ANTICHRIST - also known as OMG - told
the PC magazine, MS WORLD, he was
absolutely sure, the C64 scene was dead
and gone - and in fact had been for
years already.

ANTICHRIST claimed all characters, who
had ever been part of the C64 scene, was
in fact him - and that no one else had
ever been a part of it.


                                  cunt..

He was questioned about EXCELL, SNACKY,
POWERPLANT and BOD, and to these names,
he had only the following to say; "Me,
me, me and me. I'm everybody, and
everybody is me".

Whether or not we are all ANTICHRIST or
ANTICHRIST is all of us remains to be
seen, but ANTICHRIST was sure of one
thing.

"What can I say? I'm a chameleon." And
yes, he also claimed to be the American
scener, CHAMELEON.

LAST WORDS FROM THE EDITOR...
________________________________________
No scener was harmed in the process of
writing THE SCENE SHOW. Except perhaps
for a couple of people, but that sort
of goes without saying...

The purpose of making THE SCENE SHOW is
simply to have a bit of a laugh in a
world, that tends to get far too serious
for our own good. Oh, well. See you all
at THE PARTY 1997 - and be sure to take
care of yourself till then!

       IS THERE ANYBODY UP THERE?
      ____________________________
Is there anybody up there? Is there
anybody up there, that cares at all?
Is there anybody up there? Can you hear
us through the walls?

See you're running in circles. You just
donned your concrete shoes. Do you think
I can't hear ya? Come on send me down
some clues.

Is there anybody up there? Is there
anybody up there, that cares at all?
Is there anybody up there? Can you hear
us through the walls?

Down, down underground. And living in
the shade. I can only take it, if you
love me just the same.

Jesus, maybe buddah. Maybe even God is
me. Looking for an exit, but you are
hidding all the keys.

And I've made it to the graveyard. The
last place I'll get stoned. Will you be
there? Or are we on our own?

Is there anybody up there? Is there
anybody up there, that cares at all?
Is there anybody up there? Can you hear
us through the walls?
