This is why Oregon's state government is infinitely superior to ours.
Also, the whole thing where, you know, their governor can't declare any town to be in a state of financial crisis and then put his buddies in charge of any town so declared. Yeah, also that. But mostly the first thing.

It is my displeasure to inform you that I will not be providing you with a music video review as scheduled today. In addition to a rather substantial load of homework this weekend, I am currently working on a special project for The Gargoyle which I cannot disclose at this time. So, in place of a music video review, here are some of the results of last week's writing exercise - the topic of which I also cannot disclose. Furthermore, I can neither confirm nor deny whether these two bits of undisclosed information are related. Much like the woman described in U2's "Mysterious Ways," The Gargoyle moves in mysterious ways.
Regardless, here are some debate topics our writers believe are worth giving serious thought. Ponder them after the jump.

You would think, with the recent advancement of digital cameras and photographic technology, we could get a decent, in focus, picture of a UFO, or at least a sea monster, or something. Recently, the world was reminded of the terrors that lurk in the deep when kayaker Tom Pickles (yes, that is his real name) took a picture of the creature known as "Bownessie" in England's Lake Windermere. While "Bownessie" may not have the star power of the Loch Ness Monster or Bigfoot, he/she/it reminds us of the many local mythological creatures out there that are often overlooked by the paranormal paparazzi. Here are a few of The Gargoyle's favorite forgotten beasts of the midwest:

It is sad, but true. 

The latest and greatest* issue of the Gargoyle has arrived! Ch-ch-check it out!

Good morning dear web reader!

Have you ever been frustrated when your electronic techno gadgets don't work because you lost that all important Signal? Or when your boss discovers your addiction to internet porn? Have you ever read about cryptids or wondered what Wil Wheaton is up to these days? Do you enjoy hip hop but find yourself unable to relate to its themes outside of Grand Theft Auto? More importantly, do you wish that someone would write music about these topics?

Then sir or madam, you are in luck, because MC FRONTALOT, godfather of Nerdcore Hip Hop is performing tonight. At the Bling Pig. In Ann Arbor. Which is a place where you might currently live. The intrepid interview team of Sipka and VandenBrink has secured a live interview with the Front and will be asking all manner of hard hitting or at least entertaining questions.

Sources indicate doors open at 8pm and that tickets can be purchased online or at the Vault of Midnight or 8 Ball Saloon.

Look for the interview in our next issue and come out and see the Front tonight!

Come on baby (internet), why you gotta be that way? After several weeks of trying to tame our own blog, the Gargoyle has finally succeeded and will now be publishing on what we hope will be a regular basis. Look forward to the following:

HEY! YOU! There's a new Gargoyle issue coming out, THIS WEEK!!!

What, are you serious?

YES, YOU! We are serious!

Well, why should I read this newest compilation of all things arty, ridiculous, and inappropriate?

WELL, we have an interview with OK GO! Lead singer/guitarist Damian Kulash, for starters.

Wowzers! That's impressive. What are the chances I'll also find interviews with Electric Six front man Dick Valentine, Hellboy illustrator Guy Davis, and John Hodgman?

FAIR TO EXCELLENT.

Well I'm sold. One last question: why would I read Gargoyle Humor Magazine instead of, say, the "Every Three Weekly?"

GOOD QUESTION, let's ask a celebrity. Hey Damian Kulash, what do YOU think about the E3W?

 

 

THERE YOU HAVE IT. New garg issue this week! Coming to an Ann Arbor business or newsrack near you! If that's not good enough, subscribe here: http://gargmag.com/store.html
