who was the only person over
twenty in our little town who didn't
hate skaters. Rush always drove
about fifteen miles an hour and he
let us hold onto his car when he
was cruising around. He always
stood up for us when he heard
some old coot saying something
about us being devil worshipers.
Rush died last week. He once said,
"A man's clothes do not a
personality make." It's not a big
deal except that he told it to a
church full of Bible thumpers who
hated us. So, Rush, thank you for
everything. We hope you're happy
wherever you are.

I am writing in regard to the Mail
Drop "Postcards from the Gulf in
the February 1991 issue. I'd like to
let all the deployed skaters (es-
pecially Paul R. Casbere, a fellow
Hawaii shredder) know that my
buds and I are dedicating our
sessions to them.

VETERANS OF CURRENT
WARS
I am deployed by the Air Force
in the Middle East. The war has
had great effects, obviously, on my
lifestyle and my skating, almost to
the point of lethargy, and the added
stress of war helps so much! All
this for what? Exactly what is it that
keeps me alive day to day?
Hmmm...perhaps for a Veterans
Skater Life Assurance. Or, wait, I
know, bingo. That's it. Imagine a
twenty-one-year-old veteran
skating to the VFW hall on Fridays
to play bingo.

stumbled across your February
1991 issue, which had "Feb. 1990"
printed on the cover. Maybe it's
time to get yourselves some fancy
digital watches.

DIS WORLD
I am concerned about the World
Industries ad on page 22 of the
March issue. I was disturbed and
confused by the racist undertones
of the story of Dune. Before, I have
been amused by World Ind ads,
and I have bought their products.
Maybe I've been missing the point.

MAG DOG
A terrible thing just happened. I
came home from school and found
my beloved Thrasher in my mail-
box. (That's the good part.) I
brought it in, drop-kicked my other
books and headed for the TV. I put
the mag down and went to get al
snack. Unfortunately, when I
returned, I found my little brother
eating a Twinkie and using my
Thrasher as a napkin/plate. I was
super-pissed, especially because it
was "fruit-filled" with red straw-
berry. I stomped out of the room to
get some real napkins and when I
came back, my stupid dog was
eating my mag. I hope she liked it
as much as I would have.

BOARDY SNATCHERS
Beware of Aliens. Yes, aliens
have infiltrated the skate world.
These aliens, who have a higher
purpose, have possessed the likes
of Neil Blender, Mike Hill, Chris
Carter and the youth of Dayton,
on the border of KUWAIT? Ohio. They hold their headquarters
BLIND DATE
I have never been able to un-
derstand why some "fancy" digital
watches show the year in the date
display. The way I figure, if you're
so messed up that you can't
remember what year it is, you
shouldn't even try to tell the time.
This thought struck me as I
in Xenia, possibly an alien town.
These people, if that is what we
shall call them, are planning to free
their brothers in "Hangar 18."
Hangar 18 is a place on the
airforce base in Dayton where
aliens and their spacecraft are
being held. I have figured out their
scheme: to possess skaters of the
world and bring them all to Dayton.
So, if you hear of anyone going to
Dayton, stop them! If someone
asks you to go to Dayton, run.
