The DorkZine Charter
Oh hi. We haven’t ever written a charter… We do have a working title though. We’ll figure it out later.
You know, it really doesn’t matter in the end does it? I mean don’t we all walk the same path? We’re just dust in the wind man, and Abilene DorkZine is just a stupid skateboard/punk rock zine that mutated into this stupid blog.
For you nit picky types though, we’ll write up some general rules we might follow if it suits us. Well, these aren’t really rules per se, more like pre-replies to FAQs that are FUKn annoying.
1. If we make a factual mistake, which is rare, it will not be retracted. Instead we will edit the post and act as if nothing has changed.
2. Any miss-spelling should be considered a form of hip hop speak and therefore not a mistake, but instead, an example of how cool we are.
3. Fred often uses the wrong verb tense. He actually knows how to properly write, the problem is really one of the space/time continuum and isn’t Fred’s fault. We will not respond to grammar nazis. This is the internet. We’re only a step above texting on the literary ladder.
4. Lisa Kelly is the best thing about Ice Road Truckers. She needs way more air time. We at ADZ would like to see some footage of her freestyle motocross riding.
5. We will no longer drink vodka no matter how inviting the location or company. It gets too inviting quick.
6. No more drunken motorcycle racing. At least when cops are around.
7. We will never call the cops if there are problems. We’re free people.
8. We will soon be experimenting with a fragmentary cut and paste style of literature. If it seems like something doesn’t makes sense, or looks like a typo, it’s not. It’s art.
