Greg "Smooth Talker" Walker likes to ramble on about stuff...

Here we are, the last posting of atmag for a while. I know, I know, please don’t cry. It still feels like it was only yesterday when it was peanut butter jelly time. But I regress, it is time to move on, to move on into mowing lawns, working at still unknown whereabouts, golfing, and driving with the top down in my 1975 Pontiac GrandeVille with the new chrome wheels. Not exactly, but you know.

I’m sure you, the reader, will be upset by the news of atmag’s long slumber, but hey, do you expect us to continue to update the site when we’re not at school? Oh crap, I just said school. Oh man, I said it again. Eastern Illinois University? Oh schnapp, did I just say the name of my school? The name of the school that atmag is the online magazine of? How dare I associate us with…us.

Let me recall a conversation that I had last week while on the elevator on my way here to atmag.

Me: Hey.
Kid: Yo.
Me: Whats up?
Kid: Nuttin' much, where are you off to?
Me: atmag.
Kid: What the hell is that?

Exactly! No one here knows what the hell is going on here at atmag. I could dress up in army fatigues, make some fake scars on my face, and tie up my boots and yell out to everyone, "It's time to go to atmag and kick some ass!" And the funny thing is, people would believe me. So as your editor of the Weird Section for Fall 2003 I plan to EIU readership...to 20. But seriously folks...

You will still be able to expect much of the same next year, hopefully more pictures of friends in altered states saying horribly entertaining quotes.

Was this commentary weird enough for you? What's on your mind? Do you need someone to talk to? Email the Weird Section, I dare. Come on, dooooo it. Don't be a wuss. I knew you couldn't do it, that kid that you hate told me so.

This one goes out to all of you readers in Istanbul: Big ups all y'all Instanbullies!!

Have a great summer,

Greg

Tina Chronister-Wilcox, weird editor

This is the last posting of the semester for the weird section, and I would just like to say…blah, blah.

But really, I just thought that I should say a little something about the great year our section has had. It has been a blast making all of the changes and getting all of the feedback from everybody.

Thanks for checking us out, and just because we are going on a little break doesn’t mean you can’t send us all of your weird stories, pictures, jokes, or whatever the heck you have for us. Just use the form on the side and send away; you may see your name published in the fall!

Later atmaggers!

Tina
