MUTILATED BODY FOUND

Police report that a severally mutilated and decaying body was found in NZM's subbasement early this morning.
Detective Constable Peacock said that the body has now been removed for forensic examination, but identification would be almost impossible.
"The body is of indeterminate gender, the only clue we have so far is a piece of paper, which had been rammed down its throat."
The forensic pathologist Professor Plum confirmed later in the day, time of death would have been around .....12.03.02.....and that the paper being pushed with such force, had block the airway and was, in fact, the cause of death, and the subsequent mutilation had inflicted by more than one person using blunt objects not dissimilar to pc key boards.
When asked if the piece of paper had helped with identification, she replied that " we are not sure, as all it had written on it was a list of band names".

NZM members to receive "No-Bull Prizes."

Family members leaked to this reporter that BuTteRfLY... and Megaccino had received a communiqué from Zurich, informing them that they are on a short list for this years "No-Bull Peace" honours, final announcement will be made in a months time allowing the judges to undertake an investigation of all new postings
on contacting the No Bull committee for comment we were told no comment at this time could be made, but in our sneaky spy way we chatted up one of the aids and found that yet another member was under consideration for his work in Ecological Sciences we take this opportunity to congratulate sweetleaf on his ground breaking work.

I completed the final step in my 'de-trolling' phase. I would like to add, I am still a negative bitch, but fairer & un-judgemental.
Butterfly... I was so surprised when you followed my example, still can't believe it!

yea well i wasnt just gonna sit back and let you suck up all by yourself and make me look bad was i? ;) nah, i thought apologies on my behalf were due......i think ive been good up until recently when i almost become sucked in by muzic doll....ooo she was beggin for it...;)

//this opportunity to congratulate sweetleaf on his ground breaking work.

Bar Regulars Terrorized by Sudden Dumping of Hooligans into Bar

The peace of the Bar this week ruined by the unexpected arrival of two gangs of angst ridden posters, bar regulars where left to wonder what they has done to deserve this intrusion.
"Then bully boys turned up, it's not fair we were sitting around enjoying a series of good conversations when they just tore through the place, NZM should have built them a bloody play pen, is there no place here for those of us who just want a quiet drink with friends, after a hard days posting?" one bar regular commented " i suppose we are suffering a dose of NIMBYism we understand that they must go somewhere but does it have to be here"

Co-Posting a New Phenomena?

We have discussed in last weeks edition the practice of double dipping one person having more than one icon. We would like to bring to the attention of our community the possibility of co-posting, we have suspected for some time that certain icons are communicating by means other than the forums, i.e. msn, e-mail etc.enabling two or more Icons to pre-plan their comments. But this week the most blatant example of co-posting was witnessed in the bar, we suspect the whole sockcucker / hollis conversation of being a prefabricated sham

conspiracy theories abound and are compounded

This week a nzm member put forward his conspires theories.....we are left to only wonder

Letters to the Editor

Dear Sirs,
I wish to voice my dissatisfaction with the recent division of the NZM forums into music and bar.
It has ruined the site, I no longer am being entertained by bullshit fights and I find reasoned, intelligent, discussions about real music topics tedious.
I find being able to post without fear, of the trolls and nazi's, has removed certain perverse pleasures I got from posting here.
I will not be posting again, as I have found a bondage chat room that better suits my needs
thank you
and goodbye
(Name with held)

By-line DR Spike
ZED Forum Suffering from Major Attack of Intelligent Posting,

It would appear that lack of teeny mmm'boppers and trolls has allowed an unusual out break of reasoned discussion on the Zed Forum about the meaning of music
DR Spike prescribes release of new album making conditions right for a influx of the usual amoebic (single brain celled) postings
DR Spike asks to be notified immediately of any similar out breaks of "quality posting" on any artist's forum

Infestation of Blight Spott

The Ministry of Bio Pests and Boarder Protection report the ongoing difficulty in controlling the spread of blight spott, which for a time appeared on any topic. This blight is spread by toads, BPBP field officer manamana , informed us today that he was trying a new method of eradication " I hit toads with my 3 iron and they go*squish*" . We will hold our opinion on the efficacy of this method, until farther felid trials have been completed, toads have been known to disappear for quite sometime, only to reappear when least expected.

Up Date
Finding that golf clubs are in fact ineffectual, BPBP field officer manamana, tries acid wit, sadly this is doomed to fall as others have tried chemical control without success in the past.

Classification of NZM Iconia, key to identification and habitat

impacticuss (said im-pac-tee-cus) this icon type can appear in all forums and feels the need to make an impact often within the first few posts or with their first topic, there a three sub-species
~rasiouss (said rash-oos) will make rash statements, and when confronted will claim it was all a joke
~bashiouss (said bash-oos) will post using shouted profanities, in attempt to influence everyone's opinion, but often fails because the first shout make other icons close their eyes
~smotheriouss (said smuth-er-oos) will post in as many forums and topics as is possible, with death defying frequency, leading to opinions being totally ignored by most icons

realii banndii (said real-lee-eye ban-dee-eye) these icons are the music makers, also have three sub-species
~asteriskeii (said as-ter-isky-eye) asterisk from the Latin for star, these icons are not often seen but when they appear they can cause the most usual reactions from other icons, anything from respectful thanks to rabid savaging
~nereleii (said near-lee-eye) icons who are in bands but as yet have not reached star status
~pacticeii (said prac-tissee-eye) these icons play / sing / perform but have not yet formed bands

fandei (said fan-dee-eye) icons who are true fans of New Zealand music
~totalei (said toe-tally-eye) icons who are found only in the Artist's forum, usual in the band they feel most passion for
~generalei (said gen-er-alee-eye) icons who love for and understanding of music will post any and every where with intelligents

industralia (said in-dust-tra-lee-a) icons who work in the music industry, whether they be photographers, managers, tech crew, roadies; they often have interesting insider information

newbious (said new-bee-os) these are quiet little creatures who can be identified by the mistakes they make i.e. posting twice, posting on blue when grey would be better, they should always be treated with gentleness and kindness as they can be easily frightened, but should they evolve into NZM iconia impacticuss flaming may assist in control until they further evolve into NZM iconia fandei generalei

trollus (said troll-us) this icon type needs no explanation and in fact can not be explained

crew wizardei (said crew wiz-ard-eye) the NZM Crew with out whom no other icon could exist, they create and maintain the habitats, and from time to time control the general environment of the NZM ego-system

fakious impostera (said fak-ee-oss im-pos-ter-a) these are fortunately a very rare form of icon and usually do not live long in this ego-system, as icons are not easily fooled.

What would you call the many people who sign up each day but then are never seen again?

We also have wondered about this species of Iconia, but without their icons appearing on the forums we are unable to spy on them

There is yet another Iconia we have not included in the above listing as we are still trying to classify them, it is difficult in most case to pick them out and we need a larger sample group to observe, they are NZM iconia transgenderii.
information on sightings would be gladly received

Is it true Mr Science Spy, that a select few of these diverse species contain the ability to evolve and become a completely different specimen? or would these creatures be under the heading of "fakious impostera"?

The creatures with the classification of NZM iconia fakious impostera are malicious malcontents whose purpose is to create chaos then sit back and watching in delight as others react.

So to answer you question yes some are,
but we would hypothesize, especially on this Easter Sunday morning, that what you may have observed in some cases is resurrection / reincarnation
may you always travel in light

The biggest Nzm party of the year so far
by-line spike the Glitterati spy

We have heard reports of a party so good that no one who attended can remember it, why we ask was this reporter not invited?
what we are able to say is..
After much too-ing and fro-ing Stefan and martha where able to come to an agreement over prenuptials. martha confessed that she had only asked Jackson to marry her to force Stefan's hand.
We spoke to some who had been invited "Stefan had arranged it as a Star wars theme party matha looked stunning in her Princess Leah outfit, and you had to look hard not mistake Stephan for Liam Neilson" The party goers rocked into the night to Augustino . Any more than this we can not say

Super 12 Rugby Round-up
From the Wellington Under 5s Suburban Competition
Island Bay v Kelburn
30-Mar-2002: Berhampore Park: Final Score: 43-5

The Island Bay under 5 rugby tykes avenged their finals defeat to the high-flying Kelburn team this weekend, with a good old fashioned thumping of their poncier and more tidily attired opponents.

The Bay team fielded a mostly unchanged line-up from the team that saw off the well-performed Miramar team last week, with only young Milo Guthrie making his debut at centre for the injured Joshua Miller (torn knee ligament). There was some discussion that Guthrie, only 2 years old, may have been out of his depth amongst many older and well-experienced hands, but he soon proved the doubters wrong by scoring the first of his three tries in the opening five minutes, taking a short pass from 2nd five Amy Brown, bursting through two tackles and side-stepping the fullback to go in under the posts.

The Islanders laid the foundation for their victory front, with veteran props Bella Fitzgerald and Sammy Iso'ola giving good support to first-season hooker Aaron Olsen in a series of punishing front row confrontations that resulted in three tight-heads going the Bay team's way. Around the fringes, loosies Matt Lanker and Grace Whitu snaffled opposition ball all day, and no 8 'Freddy' Redman took the ball up strongly.

After Guthrie's first try, the Kelburn side regrouped for a concerted attack on the Bay team's goal-line, only to be repulsed with some stinging tackling. And, just as the ball was headed wide for what seemed to be a chance in the corner, Guthrie swooped in for the intercept, and ran the length of the field for a try under the posts.

This knocked the stuffing out of the hill-dwellers, and Bay took advantage of some gun-shy Kelburn tackling to launch into a series of complicated and breath-taking backline manouveres, resulting in more tries to Brown, and both wingers: Gina Basille and Stan Fredrickson. Fredrickson's try was tinged with a hint of controversy, with multiple dummy runners hitting the advantage line at pace, perhaps obstructing the field-of-view of the Kelburn players following the play. It certainly drew howls of protest from the massed Kelburn supporters, who were dismayed to see the ref wave play on, and the try scored in the corner.

The second half saw the only glimmer of sunshine for the Kelburn team, when young Milo Guthrie belied his inexperience by snaffling the kick-off and dashing through both teams to score what he thought was a try, but instead conceded a 5 yard scrum to the Kelburn team. From the ensuing scrum, the red's halfback managed to sneak inside the despairing tackle of Lanker to bring up the only Kelburn score of the day.

Guthrie soon made amends with another bollocking run from half-way, fending off three tacklers with apparent ease, and dragging over two more as he went in at the corner.

The forwards, perhaps deciding the backs had had enough fun, and that the engine room deserved some glory, knuckled down for twenty minutes of faultless pick-and-go action, ending up in two more tries: one for the deserving Redman, and a second for Lanker.

The ref blew the whistle with two minutes left on the clock, and the jubilant Bay team nominated Guthrie their man-of-the-match: the youngest player to have ever received the honour.

Other Scores:
Miramar 34 - Kilbirnie 5
Mt Vic 0 - Brooklyn 42
Newtown 28 - Aro Valley 24
Karori 13 - Khandallah 10
Ngaio Wadestown 32 - Johnsonville 22

We would like to thank jimi (the only one of about 20 visitors) for leaving a small but pleasant rave in our guest book and sweetleaf for saying one of us looks hot in a post
on nzm (editor spike is feeling hurt because he thinks his Orson Wells look was pretty hot too, "I knew we shouldn't have let that leggy bag in on the club, she will always get all the glory") not forgetting Megaccino whose enjoyment of our first edition sent her rushing for a mop and bucket.
in saying this we of the spike-the-spy club need to know if we are wasting valuable space on nzm, please give a shout out if you get sick of spike-the-spy before we do.

GO TO BLOODY BED ;) or the easter bonny will not come

Actually... Shameful Story Alert...
My bro & I were searching our parents room for chocolate goods. After finding nothing, he went complaining to Mum who revealed she'd hidden all our eggs in MY WARDROBE & they'd been there for like a week & I hadn't noticed & they all laughed @ me. So then, Mum gave my bro & cousin their eggs & they put them in their own rooms & mine is still sitting in my wardrobe. So, the easter bunny came weeks back. But the thought of chocolate is sickening at this point, so I'm not bingeing. It's one of those huge pig out eggs too....

hmmm a week or so a? yummy, you're chocolate will be nice and white by now.....;)
