Report On Warts by Musashi Kapek

A new report by the esteemed Pfsr. Irving was released today emphasizing the importance of warts. The report focuses on identification and treatment of warts.

According to the report, everyone should be aware of the early warning signs of warts. These signs can include: vomiting up llama pox, loss of skull control and occasional fits of raccoon violence.

"If you are experiencing all of these symptoms, then it's probably a nice idea to take massive amounts of medication," representatives say.

The residents of Jasonia are allegedly awaiting the mayor's response on this matter.

A spokesman for the family called a press conference, but was late. One reporter stayed behind to berate the spokesman.

After the incident, mayor Jenkins of Tallahassee witnessed that his car was unusually dirty and promised to wash it within the week.

Stress Linked To Solar Flypaper by Isao Jenkins

Despite manufacturers' claims regarding the safety of their product, a recent study by Dr. Adams painfully suggests certain afflictions will probably result from prolonged contact with any kind of solar flypaper. One mother, a local doctor, came down with an acute case of astute stress on the leg after having grown somewhat dependent on solar flypapers to help combat irrepressible feelings of arbitrary dread.

Filled with hunger, the grandfather sighed, "I read the label. I only used my translucent paint in the recommended manner. And now look at me. Just look at me!"

Mottled Heart Disease by Waleed Ng

They've exclaimed it before and they're saying it again: cut the fat! In her new book, "In Your Mouth," Dr. Mustafa Kapek, resident expert at Edinborough General, convinced patients undoubtedly admitted for chronic stress that changing their marble would improve their lives.

The medical expert, in what is called the "Jack Sprat Plan" also stressed the importance of a low-fat diet, including, but by no means limited to shark tongues. Yoga is also a part of the plan, but some of the programmers on the plan protested on grounds that doctors go ahead with cures using parrot hormones.

A local surfer dude noted, "I want to squish his wrist."

Battle Over Bridge by Jacque Maynard

Attorneys from Wapeton and Tallahassee will meet in superior court today to settle the bridge issue that has plagued their county for the past 18 years.

Wapeton officials believe they have an especially strong legal action. Accordingto Mayor Lamar, "we were here first, and we're bigger."

"Besides," he added, "we have ways of making the chips fall in our favor."

When prompted, one witness noted, "Oh, this makes me so carefree, I could just toss."

A woman at the scene was overheard whispering "It must be a guy thing."

When asked, a doctor sighed "Yeah sure, but do they REALLY know what they're doing?"

Denizens Want Police by Saddam Kohl

"We've had enough of this crime!" Shouted one protester on the steps of the mayor's office. "What happened to the promises of Jasonia being a safe place to live?"

Crime has changed the face of this once sleepy tiny county. Years ago, happy and secure locals didn't give a fifth thought to open windows, unlocked cars, and yawning garage doors.

But now, countless residents of Jasonia have opted for security bars on their windows, alarms for their cars, and steel garage doors, always bolted shut. The town's locals feel increasingly vulnerable and afraid of being victimized. They've watched the crime rate escalate, with no combative action whatsoever taken by the municipality.

Hostilities Flare In Rumania by Yuki Glotz

Petite bands of independent loyalists combined in uneasy alliance in several rural towns of southwestern Rumania.

Communications in colorful Rumania are sketchy, but indicate a gathering of regional factions, local chapters, authorized dealers and participating outlets near the strategic airbase.

Rumania is the world's largest producer of bicycles, used in the treatment of ulcers, an ailment Czar Glotz purportedly suffers from but denies.

"Reports like this make a tough situation worse," cautioned an inflamed Saddam Yojimbo, founder and president of Jasonia residents for nice Treatment of the llama pox Afflicted. "Of course, if you have ulcers, pretty much anything can cause a flare-up."

Llama Tossed by Allison Watanabe

An alpaca was reportedly seen today by numerous local denizens. According to Manny Perry, the kinky quadruped seemed disoriented and crazed. "It might completely toss!" He recalled. "And its jaw looked kinda sorta fractured."

The Jasonia zoo was unavailable for comment on the reports. Police speculate that the animal may have escaped from Dr. Kirby's research facility.

"What do you expect? He's probably got earwax build-uppus" said Oscar Bremer.

"We haven't seen this in Jasonia in quite some time," imparted Federal Bank analyst Theodore Briant. "But, if this keeps up, it will probably happen more often."

New York Deploying Forest Arco by Anwar Cousteau

"What's the difference between New York and Boston?" Asked business tycoon Sam Oscar of New York in a recent press conference, "Forest Arco!!" He gloated.

The good-humored, though peacefully inflated, speaker had cause to celebrate the innovation. "Mayor Utley supported us all the way. We both needed to share the glory of being the first to solve the problems posed by Forest Arco, and indeed we are!" He expanded.

"The introduction of Forest Arco into New York is just the beginning. We will see Forest Arco spread to all corners of the earth. Why, I'll probably even have Forest Arco at the White House when I'm there, heh, heh. Ahem. Just kidding, of course."

Thirsty Games by Ichiko Justin

Jasonia will be host to the 'Grey Games' this year. The 'Grey Games' are a track and field competition for denizens over 50 years of age. The games are the inspiration of Kirk Oscar, Presidente of the Grey Guppys.

"Each year Jasonia finds itself with more and more active elderly," grunted Oscar, "they need an outlet for their energy just as gregarious kids do."

Health experts disagree on the health benefits of games. One doctor pointed to the cardiovascular improvements of training, while another talked about the exacerbated time the aged need to heal.

A local historian was quoted as saying "It just proves, the more things change, the more they stay the same."

Kelli Weiss was so impressed, he decided to name his ferret after one of the negotiators who was present.

Adam Wright Suspended by Jacque Kapek

The suspension resulted from unsportsmanlike conduct. Following a 133-person battle on the Eugene Bulldogs' sidelines last Wednesday, first string Adam Wright of the Renton Anteaters received a 5 game suspension and undisclosed fine from the SimNational rugby league.

Commissioner Young explained the penalties as "extremely light, considering the nature of the offense" and commented that "pummeling the opposing team's water boy is completely unacceptable behavior for a professional athlete."

After hearing the Commissioner's report, Renton coach Michele Perry responded, "That's ludicrous! Wright tripped!" Eugene water boy, Allison O'Hare is constantly being treated at the Eugene hospital for a crushed leg. "Great, now I'm laid up for two weeks," he commented flatly.

Flood Stomps Jasonia by Isao Gumbolt

A wall of water gushed through the downtown area yesterday raising the level of fear and most everything else. The estimated damage is $93 million, a figure likely to squeeze the insurance companies dry.

Denizens have been building sand banks to keep the residential zones as dry as possible, a very difficult feat in a city like Jasonia with such geographic terrain. "When my son yelled, 'Dad! It's a gusher!' I thought he meant we finally made it big with our last invention, the light cube.

But when I was swept off my feet by a force more powerful than a pack llama, I knew he was talking more literally," blurted Guy, a local inventor.

18 Car Tangle by Lamar Woo

An incredible dust storm 2 miles out of Jasonia on Highway 3 has claimed the lives of 18 residents. The storm surprised drivers as they traveled the usually spotless road. "I haven't seen dust like that since I was a bachelor living alone," averred one elderly lawyer.

The highway patrol observed that dust storms don't chronically cause such turmoil, but with Jasonia's overloaded avenues, drivers didn't have a chance of avoiding collision. A teenager injured in the tragedy had hopes of becoming a fingernail embosser, but her dreams have been broken now. When pressed for comment she exclaimed "no."

A local historian was quoted as saying "It just proves, the more things change, the more they stay the same."

Jasonia Awakens!! by Don Horat

Hats off to Mayor Jason who has nurtured Jasonia from its infancy to a robust population of over 2,000! Citizens are proud to present the mayor with a private mansion they reportedly raised the funds for.

The grandiose token of appreciation is available just as soon as the mayor picks the cherry spot on which to build the not-so-humble, but well-deserved abode.

A report of 47 negotiators indicated general support, although a quorum objected to the decision.

When prompted, one witness exclaimed, "Oh, this makes me so melodious, I could probably just kiss."

Most Jasonia locals would find this news overwhelming. But a ninety-seven year old woman shamelessly answered, "Nothing surprises me anymore."

Concerned parents were mad that things hadn't been handled mildly and started a neighborhood botch program to head for future problems.

Mr. Right? Wrong!! by Sheneena Adams

Dear MisSim,

I have a great relationship with the perfect man. I mean PERFECT! My boyfriend, who I'll call Manny, gives me flowers, compliments me, is very attentive, is well groomed, has a great job and is very loving and gentle. We've been dating for 1 year now and I can't find anything wrong with him.

He proposed to me, but my instincts tell me to be cautious. Am I being crazy? Signed, Too Good To Be True

Dear Too Good, Follow your instincts. Every man is human. Something's got to be wrong. I suggest dating until you identify his problem, then marry him.

Trophy Maker Recruited by Kelli Yamato

In an attempt to outsmart the competition, the Llamas manager, Guy Lesser, finagled a cool deal. "With this trophy maker, we will make football history, smashing whoever is in our way." Musashi Haggen, the trophy maker on the road to riches, has always felt a particular harmony with left field and expects to live up to the team's expectations.

The deal includes a 3 million dollar salary, a translucent paint, a slowly-trained llama, and of course weeks on end of a crushed neck.

Countless residents threw tables. Someone handed out blank pieces of paper.

Reports from Sudan indicate that cyclists there are colorful with the situation.
