<pre> WELCOME TO THE 5TH ISSUE OF YOUR
FAVOURITE MAGAZINE:

** PROPAGANDA **
\/ PROPAGANDA \/
__________
We know you probably never expected
to see PROPAGANDA out again.
As you noticed the last 2 issues were
not up to our standards. I'll explain
the reason behind this now.
Since Propaganda was taken on "GAME ON"
Oliver was under a lot of time pressure.

At the same time, he was also sick with
pneumonia and had to be in the
hospital for several weeks.

He was just unable to get all of the
text in time to get the issues in...
Issues 3 and 4 were put together as
best as they could be considering the
situation. We are sorry for this.

Now for the GOOD news!
We are back! I have taken over and
will be doing this magazine from now on.
Oliver will still be involved in it so
don't think the mag will lose any of
it's quality or that you will get less
than what you are used to from us.

And you play a big part in this also.
After all, what would we be without
your support? The readers are the
main purpose we go thru all this work.

Don't complain about the charts,
when you VOTE you can change them!

Well, the last 2 months have been
quite interesting... Some bad things
as well as good things have happened.

Oliver thought he had a bad case of
the flu. Until one day his parents
found him holding onto the doorway
and not moving. They quickly sat him
down in a chair and called the doctor.

What really happened was Oliver's body
was so tired from fighting off the
pneumonia it just gave up. He fainted!
(Only HE did it standing up!) We still
couldn't figure out how he did that.

..
/\

The next day he was admitted to the
hospital where he stayed for a few weeks
and we were on the phone almost thru the
whole thing, planning for his vacation
when he would come to my house in April.
But along with the bad came something
good! When he was released from the
hospital and had time to recover, he
still had time off from work to make a
trip to the States. We had a great time!
Well, I won't bore you with personal
details but you can see why we were so
stressed for time... Anywayz........

**
\/

Well, we are back in action now and it
will be back to the old standart also.
Even better!

We will take more time with the charts
which some people said they weren't
satisified with.

But this is your job also! We will try
to make it as easy and convinient for
you to vote...
But we can't do it for you!

I noticed a lot of rumors going around
on the boards... Some of them quite
funny... Some of them involve people
close to me. Let's have a laugh at
some of them!

"HOK/EMPIRE COMITTED SUICIDE 4 TIMES."

Can you believe that was actually posted
on a board? I don't think I have to tell
you that this is not true...

Well, we almost died laughing
when we saw that!

"ANTICHRIST HAS NO TEETH AND
IS SO FAT HE CAN HARDLY WALK!"

I can safely say that when he smiles,
(And he has a beautiful smile!), I saw
a set of shiny white teeth. And he is
not fat. And I will add that since his
sickness he needs to GAIN some weight!
Where do people come up with
such weird things??

I guess I should mention my own rumors
also. I have the most I think. Lucky me!

"I'M 22-65 YEARS OLD, I'M MARRIED,
I HAVE PHONE-SEX WITH MY GROUP-MEMBERS,
I'M FAT, I'M THIN, I'M WRINKLED,I'M NOT,
I AM GOING BALD, I HAVE A BEARD, I HAVE
HAIR ON MY CHEST, I MAKE PEOPLE INTO
SLAVES..." Should I bore you and go on?
Hehehe... Nahhh! But here's my response:

.. IT'S BOOOOORRRING! ..
\/ IT S BOOOOORRRING! \/

Noone would be so crazy as to
explain such strange things!

It would be silly to think I go on to
tell you I don't have hair on my chest,
an invisible husband, and so on?!?
And if I was that old, I would at least
own a PC... Give me some credit! I guess
even on the BBSs you meet the good, the
bad and the ugly... (AND I DID!!!)

But there are more nicer people than
crazies and I guess that is why we
remain in the land of the 64.

But let's get serious now...

As I said before, the charts were
a big issue in Propaganda so for this
month's issue we made a special effort
to try and get as many people to vote
as possible. And what was the result?!

Well, we did get many votes, but you
would be amazed at the work it took to
get them. On the boards it took some
people 4-5 personal E-mails to get a
response. These are some of the people
you always see complaining that the
charts are cheated.

Wouldn't you think they would realize
if we intended to cheat in any way
(Which we wouldn't) WHY would we be
trying so HARD to get their votes?!
Anyhow, after many tries, we got them!
It should listed as a sport:
"Vote Hunting"

That's just ONE thing we went thru
behind the scene... Some other funny
facts that happened while doing this
magazine...

-=*=-

Oliver reads all my text after I'm
done to check for spelling errors.

-=*=-

Oliver and me are on the phone for about
15 hours every day and we are used to
send little kisses over the phone. Well,
one day Oliver was talking to HJE, went
downstairs for a few minutes, came back
to the phone, said "I'm back" in English
and sent a kiss (out of habbit) as he
forgot that it wasn't me on the phone!
When HJE asked "What was that noise?!"
Oliver turned red from embarrassement.

-=*=-

During some editing, Oliver suddenly had
an urge for junk food and I had to hold
on for 45 minutes while he drove to the
Mc Donald's where he bought some Mc Rib,
Mc Chicken, Mc Nuggets and a stupid
Banana Milkshake!
(I hope this never Mc happens again)

HOK says if I don't end my posts using
a Subhuman-Cat macro, he will not take
the votes anymore and won't give me the
ones that he already got...

-=*=-

HOK got mad one day, and left his own
votes, listing all G*P members as lame.
Since Oliver DOES count EVERY vote,
because of HOK, Oliver was #1 in the
lamer charts,followed by the rest of us.

-=*=-

Oliver was cooking his own dinner and
got stomach pains from his own cooking.
Progress was delayed for a while...
After a quick trip to the bathroom he
was as good as new.

Oliver and myself fell asleep for three
hours on the phone while trying to think
of who to put in the Award Section as
the "Lamer of the month". We woke up not
knowing what had happened and decided to
leave that award out because we couldn't
come up with an answer.

-=*=-

During making this magazine HOK got
bitten by a cat and for a few days was
unable to get anyone's votes because he
thought he had rabies! It was when he
read a medical book... He found out
that the symptoms for rabies take months
to appear... He then accepted the fact
that he had a small cold.
He then continued taking the votes.

I also can go on and on here,
but I won't.

But all these things somehow had an
effect on this issue... Whether it be
good or bad.

We hope you like it.
