Do we have any Macedonians in the audience? Hello there from sunny Macedonia... I guess you don't have slightiest idea where the hell this country is, but i think that our goverment could apply for your name, Suck, in the UN (We are referenced there by some stupid burocrats and Greece as FYROM, or Former Yougoslav Republic of Macedonia). Anyway, that's not my point. How do u want to gain some wider audience if you are so concentrated on United states only? There is a lot wider audience in Europe, app. 300 milions of EU citizens. Did u ever thought of localisation for some particular market? Then, word of mouth will come up. Suck.com will be where should be; number 1 site. Your regular reader (who, btw, always reffering you as n.1 on-line event at many news groups in .mk domain) Dragan Tomovski <tomas@rsc.com.mk> Good to hear from you, Dragan. Lucky you, to be living among the gentle shepherds and sunswept groves in the land of Philip and Alexander. Admittedly, we haven't thought much about your charming nation since we stopped seeing those big "MACEDONIA IS GREEK!" signs during Greek Pride Day. But it's good Macedonians like you who are helping to build a more just and prosperous Europe. yr pal, barTel  Hit & Run Fuck the pope. His hateful actions against women and gays speak louder than his hypicritical words. The man makes me puke. W.Massi/L.Brinkin <wmassi@wenet.net> Simmer down, W. The Pope has never been critical of hypies. During his 1993 "Culture of Death" tour he even skipped vespers to catch the Dead at Red Rock. Sucksters Subject: The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Dear Sucksters: Just letting you know I enjoyed the slag on Ted Rall in today's SUCK (2000/03/16). If you haven't seen 'em already, there's lots of info about the hilarious Rall v. Hellman lawsuit at the following sites: http://www.dannyhellman.com/ http://www.sper-anza.com/ freedirtydanny/ Please keep up the good work....if you ever need me, just reach out and I'll be there, baby. dirty danny <dannyhellman@mindspring.com> One thing that's always puzzled me while watching the Rall-Hellman grudgematch and noting the various wrestlers who have weighed in (for example on Mike Speranza's petition): Why hasn't Spiegelman himself ever given you a vote of support? Not that it would help with the suit, but wouldn't that be the decent gesture? In any event, I had forgotten Rall's weinified comments about litigation and its place in the coming commie revolution; I hope this will serve as one more reminder of the bankruptcy of Marxist/Leninist ideas and encourage everybody to jump into our great capitalist hottub, where the water is always scintillating! yr pal, tim Subject: Making noise about you guys Dear Sucksters, The February 8, 2000 of PC Magazine had a list of the best 100 sites on the Internet. I was shocked to find that you were not mentioned! I wrote an angry email to them at pcmag@ zd.com . The letter is at the bottom of this email. I then read that you were no longer selling Suck merchandise and would only give it to people for their loyalty. I wrote this email for that reason. If you think my action is eligble for a reward, I would gladly accept it. I will send a copy of this letter via snail mail to the PC Magazine office tommorow. Keep sucking! Anand Bhat <fearx25@hotmail.com> Dear PC Magazine, In your February 8, 2000 issue, you had a list of the 100 best sites on the Internet. Sadly, you did not mention Suck.com anywhere! Suck.com is the oldest daily web publication on the net. The fact that it did not even get a mention is an insult to a site that provides daily laughs only for the price of looking at the adds at the bottom of the screen. The Sucksters were trying to make the web the place to be way before most of the sites you mentioned had even an inkling of a idea about what to do about the medium. To not pay homage to these pioneers of content and the web who deliver low-tech laughs for four years now is an insult to readers of Suck.com and Suck.com itself. Sincerely, Anand Bhat <fearx25@hotmail.com> Nice work, Anand. Pioneers! Very rustic! Your T-shirt is in the mail. Sucksters Filler: Eyeball of the Beholder My friend and I are sitting here drinking heavily wishing that we had a nice phat bong to smoke. After reading today's filler (03/15), we figured that we should send you a message telling you that you're a self-centered, sarcastic bitch and we love your stuff. Please don't change. And don't cry, he wasn't worth your time. I saw his webpage and you're MUCH too cool for him. Jorge Vendez <jvendez@hotmail.com> A nice phat bong? God, I'm old. But being old means that not only am I too cool for Cisco, but I'm also too cool for school. And school's cool! Polly Subject: Hell Hath No Fury... Shnookums, You'd think after all these years I'd know to hit the F7 key for spell check when I'm done typing something. Actually I spelled it right because I meant to say that you are hooked into an ethereal cyber world just like serial experiments lain (http://angelfire.com/ co/cisco/ lain.html) or something. Thank you. You really made my day. I mean it. I spend all night running low level UNIX programs and trying to make a website with MS paint and a crappy scanner. I'm amazed at the fact that I can enjoy mean spirited condescension (besides mine), and that I am becoming a regular at your mag. Oh God I have no life. The wedding is back on but I'm afraid I'm going to have to insist you get pupils first. Love, Cisco Velasquez, <fvelasqu@ball.com> Oh, don't go trying to impress me with your job skills now, buddy. I already issued new invitations, spinning the wedding as a "celebration in my honor" and urged all those invited to bring those wedding gifts anyway. I'm still registered at Macy's and everything. Hey, I don't have to get married to get all the delightful serving trays and wine glasses and sugar bowls that I deserve. Pupil-less and proud, Polly I would find it very useful for you to mention how MANY pages the story is on, on the first page. That way, one knew how much reading there were to be done, and could digest to that, or probably choose not to read it. BTW, do you have a steady schedule for each week on SUCK.com? Jonas Skov Madsen <Jonass@vip.cybercity.dk> Now why would I give you information that might lead you not to read the column? That's like using a teaser that says: "Next week, even more pointless, rambling crap that it'll take too long to read." Then again, I think I've used that one already. Wednesday is Filler, Thursday is Hit & Run, and all the other days are whatever we feel like publishing then. Essays, mostly. While we're making helpful suggestions, though, let me suggest that you rethink that email address. Polly Subject: Misspellings? Polly, I must say I take offense to the fact that you seem to mostly publish emails from people who have some type of misspelling in their messages. I dare say you don't actually get that many emails with poor spelling, and sometimes it seems like you just throw in a misspelled word of your own just to spice things up for Filler. Stop the lie! Many email programs come equipped with spell checkers, so there can't be that many bad spellers out there. Sincerely, Chris Druckenmiller <cdrucken@DigitalRiver.com> Well, that goes to show how much you know. So there. Polly |
