rambles**Rumor Killer Updatage**Update to the update from the news sections on Synergy and pearljam.com altered, doctored, interpreted by the ol’RK January 11, 2005 – Rumor Killer Updatage: When many of you there fans read the 10C or Synergy updates, often when one question is answered, another arises. And certainly with recent threads on the Message Pit, inevitably, the #1 question is: What does this all mean? Well fear not fellow traveller, your pal, the ol’RK has sat down to read between the lines and find these answers for you. You know, let the cat out of the bag, talk about the pink elephant in the living room, and well… squash some rumors before they start…. So here’s the latest update, followed by the ol’RK interpretations… Holiday fan club single - The last minute problems in pressing the singles have been resolved and as of right now, the single will start shipping today or tomorrow. It will take a few days to get through them all and they are shipping from Portland, Oregon. **Rumor Killer: What the 10C is saying is: “Yes, we blew it. We were very late in sending the Holiday single master tapes to be pressed to vinyl. Was it the artwork that delayed things? Nope. That was done in early November. Was it the manufacturers? Nope, they promised us a two-week turnaround. The shipping, yes, surely it was the shipping people? No, those dudes as fucked up as they are, were ready too. Ok, we admit it, we blew it. What on earth were we doing you ask? Well, we were too busy trying to entice our friends to do that on-line free iPod thing. You know, you sign up, get so many people to sign up too and then they ship you a free iPod. Well, let us tell ya, getting people to really sign up for that takes A LOT of time and effort. But it worked and now we all got free iPods!! Woo hoo!!!” Molo CDs - We should receive these on Friday or Monday, and we will start shipping them immediately. We expect a few days work to get through all of those orders. **Rumor Killer: What the 10C is saying is: “Ahhh, man, do we have a killer hang-over. Damn, do we need some coffee. Ok, there’s some. Hey can someone pass us some coasters so we can put these coffees down? Yeah, go ahead, bring over those Molo cd’s, there’s so many of them, we can use them for coasters, no problem. We don’t want to ruin our desks with nasty coffee mug stains, now do we? And we had to get so many coffees to try and wake up or something. So… oohhh, do we need to take a nap…. Way too much to drink last nite… man! What? What? Did you say something? We’re sorry, we don’t speak Spanish!” Ten Club Newsletter - We expect to be finished with the newsletter/calendar design by the end of the week. It will take approximately two weeks in production, and we're trying to get it in the mail by the end of the month. Please be sure to update your address and/or membership renewal by Wednesday, January 19th. **Rumor Killer: What the 10C is saying is: “Maybe we’ll get a newsletter done and maybe we won’t. Truth is friend, we don’t like the way you’ve been pestering about this. And quit giving us that look! Yeah, that look right there! Here at the 10C, we are VERY busy. You might think it’s all easy and we just sit around and talk about Pearl Jam all the time and listen to rare and unreleased material (that you’ll never hear) ALL the time and well that’s where… YOU’RE 100% RIGHT! HAHAHA! Unlike many of you, we here at the 10C, when we report to work, we CAN wear our pajamas. In fact, it’s ENCOURAGED! We don’t have CASUAL FRIDAYS here… we have WEAR YOUR FAVORITE FLIP-FLOP FRIDAYS (Stone loves Fridays!). We don’t HAVE to be at the office by 9AM, a 12 Noon start time is only for the kiss-ups.. dirty brown-nosers! So given these startling revelations, if you worked here (yeah, like we'd let YOU work here, not that it's really work!), would you REALLY expect us to get anything done? OOOH, wait, gotta go, we’re about to go watch “Touring Band 2000” again. We’ve had a drinking contest while watching it. Everytime Ed makes a silly dance or makes a funny face, everybody has to drink.. ahhh man, there he goes again! That guy is killing our liver!”
**Rumor Killer: What the 10C is saying is: “Who are you? Did you want something?" **PLEASE NOTE - THE OL’RK IS NO WAY, SHAPE, FORM, OR CONTENT AFFILIATED WITH PJ, THE 10C OR ANY OTHER RELATED ENTERPRISES. HIS MUSINGS ARE MEANT TO BE HUMOROUS. DON’T TAKE THEM AS GOSPEL OR EMBUE THEM WITH ANY EXTRACURRICULAR MEANINGS. THE OL’RK HAS THE DEEPEST RESPECT FOR THE 10C AND THINKS YOU SHOULD TOO FOR THEIR HARD WORK. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WHO COULDN’T USE A CHUCKLE NOW AND AGAIN? SO PLAY ALONG AND PLAY NICE.** RUMORS CAN BE DEADLY... BUT ONLY IF YOU BELIEVE THEM! yer pal,
>> Rubysdad (Ten Club President Tim) replied with: >> I didn't really have time to waste on details, so I appreciate you letting everyone know about how things really work around here. Also, I didn't get to read your entire post. I mean c'mon, so many words. I'm sure it was all very funny, but Stone and I have a spa appointment. Pedicures and Hot Stone Massage. I'm sure we'll follow up with a little shopping at Barney's. When we get back, maybe I'll take the time to read the rest of your post. Then again, I'll probably be too drunk by then. Cheers, Tim |
