This is the way the world ends * Not with a bang but with a whimper. * (T.S. Eliot) * * * Seriously speaking. What have we done to deserve all these good * texts from all these good people around the world? This we do not * know, and sometimes we actually think that they must have been * sent to the wrong magazine by mistake. After all, why the hell * would any sane writer like to publish their works through an * antique electronic magazine that still fancies ASCII (instead of * modern www-aestethics), never pays, and has the rather cryptic * name "Underground eXperts United"? This we do not know. But we * are really trying to find out. * * Anyway... * * Do not hesitate to investigate the delicate pieces of ASCII art * we offer you in this release, number thirty-eight. When finished, * you will know how it is to be a refugee, why you should not drink * the water, what the notion of 'natural capitalism' implies, how * to get rid of stress and maintain happiness, and much more. We * welcome seven new underground experts: Vasilis Afxentiou, Steven * Zeigler, Jason Gurley, Curwen and Shape, Josef Lisowsky and Doug * Tanoury. * * Good news! The book "People I Met Hitchhiking On USA Highways" by * Eric Chaet (one of the greatest writers of the Underground eXperts * United) will be available January 2001. We know that this is an * excellent book, and we are not alone in thinking so. * * "This is an attractive addition to that by now old and honourable * American literary genre, footloose and oddball people driving and * hitching across and around America, encountering every kind of * person. This traveller has no money, must pay his way doing the * kinds of work not often described in American writing." * (Doris Lessing) * * More information: http://www.geocities.com/eric_chaet * * We would also like to congratulate our writer Simon Moleke-Njie, * a political refugee from Ghana that finally has been given * permission to stay in Poland and travel freely. Come visit us * some day. * * It is December. Simon says: * * December is here again! * My body is heavy with the weight of a year... * My spirit though is light and ripe * With cislunar fruits; * Seasons' cup spill vernal wine, * Vestal virgins pledge their prime... * It's time to sigh - * Flap and fly with my wings of solitude. * (Simon Moleke-Njie) * * The world has not yet come to an end. Pay <http://www.uXu.org/> a * visit before it is too late. We guarantee you that the words that * you will find there are not quiet and meaningless (as wind in dry * grass, or rat's feet over broken glass in our dry cellar). * * * We are the hollow men * We are the stuffed men * * Season's greetings from Sweden * The GNN and Bravemoore * (anything goes) mailto:editor@uxu.org * * Current uXu Writers .. Members and writers thru the last three releases .. Visit uXu.org For additional information on our writers.

If you are that kind of person who believe in all conspiracies, you certainly should not read this text. Because then your paranoia will reach tremendous heights. Why should we not drink the water? Read and find out. (Actually, we are not certain if this is mere fiction. To be on the safe side, the uXu crew only drinks Perrier nowadays.) 560: "Freedom" by Eric Chaet. Such a big word, with so many different meanings - most of them somewhat removed from actual fact. In this case, the story of a hitchhiker who has achieved his immediate objective, but has not yet returned to where he can rest. This is a beautiful story of rain and lightning, of an escaped convict, of drivers who want to talk about Jesus, and more. 561: "False Confessions from a Fallen Angel" by Laura Aurora. We confess that the poems which move us most are those that are very personal. The poems of Laura Aurora are very personal, so they move us a lot. We are certain that they will move you too, if you pay attention. 562: "How To Maintain Happiness And Relieve Stress" by DIzzIE. Believe it or not! Dizzie has proven himself able to write textfiles that are NOT pragmatic manuals on violent anarchistic mayhem! In this file he explains some basic techniques for staying happy and relieving stress. Read a good book, have a cup of tea, trash a house... oh dear... Dizzie will always be Dizzie. 563: "A Saga Of The African Child" by Simon Moleke-Njie. Few would deny that child labour is one of the worst crimes against humanity. Few in the western world have however actually seen it with their own eyes. But Simon Moleke-Njie have seen it all. This is his sad saga of the exploited children in contemporary Africa. 564: "Review of 'Natural Capitalism'" by Eric Chaet. Ecology is an acute issue. Unfortunately, most people just speak about the importance of saving nature without actually doing so. Action indeed talks louder than words, but how take action if one does not know what to do? Eric Chaet here reviews a book that aims to arm the reader with knowledge that can be deduced into action on this matter. 565: "Hold On" by William Hockney. The content of this file is perhaps best described by help of a quote: "Woody Allen was right when someone asked if he thought sex was dirty and he said 'if you do it right'. Sex is not some sort of pristine, reverent ritual. You want reverent and pristine, go to church." (Cynthia Heimel, "Sex Tips for Girls", 1983.) 566: "The Day All Words Lost Their Meaning" by The GNN. The complete works of this highly productive author for the uXu magazine exceeds two megabytes in more than 250 files. But during the past six months he has not been able to write a single text (except for this one). Why is that so? The GNN himself do not think he knows the answer; but actually, he does... 567: "DIzzIE Poetry" by DIzzIE. This is a collection of intensely raw and furious poetry. Dizzie dives deep into the darkest realms of his mind and explores those horrible thoughts that occasionally strike all of us. We strongly advice sensitive readers to stay away from this file. 568: "At A Trailer In The Woods" by Eric Chaet. You set out to do what everyone else considers impossible. Would it not be nice if you did not have to confront them again until it was proven that you were right and they were wrong? Unfortunately, it does not work that way, as we all know. How to deal with it? That is the main question of this fine and personal piece of fiction by Eric Chaet. 569: "Stashu Kapinski In A Family Way" by Joseph Lisowski. Take off your Armani suit if you really want to dig your teeth into Lisowski's poetry. Observing life around him, life's questions are answered right before his very eyes. Noticing the connection to the condition called daily life, or bluntly: reality. 570: "From Warsaw To Room 134 At Debak" by Simon Moleke-Njie. The author is a political refugee from Ghana, currently living in Poland where has been granted permission to stay. This is his autobiographical journal, in which he shares his experiences from the especial "refugee world". This is truly a very important textfile in this day and age. 571: "USA Election 2000" by Eric Chaet. In order to have a real chance of getting a majority of votes in the election for president of the USA, it is necessary to be able to speak to large numbers of potential voters, and to say to them what they would like to hear. So it is highly unlikely that these ideas will be presented by someone, soon, who will then become the president of the USA, and be in a position to at least get them' seriously debated. But this will do for a start. 572: "Hesiod And The Muse" by Doug Tanoury. Here Doug carefully lay it all out to you. About art that is. A piece of art consists not only of what meets the eye. There is a meaning, a point in it being created. Finding that part out is the artist's contribution to the movement the uXu's part of: Making people think. 573: "Forest Thump" by DIzzIE. If you did not appreciate the hyped movie with almost the same title, you will find this piece at least amusing, which the original certainly was not. This version is not even depending on actors pretending to be retarded. 574: "Ratt-Tat-Tatt" by Vasilis Afxentiou. This text constitutes undoubtedly the most aggressive attack on the American Way we have ever read. If you thought that the NATO assault on Yugoslavia was a 'humanitarian war', prepare yourself for a radically different account on the matter. Utterly controversial, a badly needed provocative text. 575: "Living In Hawaii" by Steven Zeigler. Would we not all want to live on Hawaii, the mysterious paradise island? The sun, the long beaches, the long drinks, the long days, Magnum P.I. Could anyone not love such a lovely place? Well, yes. The place is a shit hole, as the author of this text is well aware of. If you plan to go there, remember to keep your mouth shut... 576: "uXu Index #38" by The GNN. Four long months have passed by, and in time for the uXu and our writers' to give you a release crammed with files from a bunch of new writers, along with some other you already know, but now it is time for me to put an end to this very very long sentence with the necessary period. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The uXu Connection ------------------------------------------------------------------------ E-Mail - bm@uxu.org (Bravemoore, Editor) - gnn@uxu.org (The GNN) * >> Visit the uXu website for an updated list of author addresses.
