AGG/GAG - 2
Created | Updated Feb 20, 2002
Open your mind and say; 'AWW.'
We are AGG/GAG, a posse of persona operating unofficially on the fringes of the AWW. We're looking at
the Writing Guidelines for the Edited Guide, and want to toss them
out.
This week AGG/GAG continues its search for the weird and wonderful in the Unedited portions of the Guide. For all the
foo-for-all and hot-air expended [by members of AGG/GAG], it really does just come down to promoting and shamelessly
plugging writers who create anything good that doesn't fit the 'Edited Guide' rules and regulations.

My choice this week is from Lucinda
Lucinda is a veteran of h2g2 and yet remains an enigma. He, she or (more likely) they have posted to thousands of
conversations and contribute to the Peer Review process and the Alternative Writing
Workshop. Always with something useful, interesting or helpful to say, Lucinda's identity and true politics remain a
mystery. But this recent entry Recursive Laughter reveals a true sense of humour and
is one of the most thought provoking and funny entries I've ever seen. Enjoy!

The entry you are about to read was found under an old wine bottle at the grave stone of a promising young writer. The
faded label on the bottle claimed that the wine went well with day-old pizza and possessed a bouquet that had been reviewed
as 'gleefully anti-social' in the East Napa Valley Thrifty Nickel and Free Trader.
As places go, I can think of many far worse for students to get into trouble than the library. The library is a place that
has been dear to my heart since the day I first walked into one and the school library is a place that I spent as much time in
as I could from my first grade days up until the last college I dropped out of.
The following piece, Games for Playing Whilst Bored in School Libraries by
Judiciary Pag is a side glance into a world that merits a small documentary. Until
that happens (donations in the small coffee can on the table), there is this noble effort.

In his concise, no-beating-around-the-bush style, Hobbes shares his opinion about the
world of haute couture with his entry on The Fashion Industry and Its Positive Contribution To
Society. Keep in mind that Hobbes is 'currently going through a beige period playing lots of easy listening music
by people such as Burt Bacharach', according to notes on his user space.
We at GAG (the Galactic Anomalies Group) hope you're enjoying our discoveries and would really like your help in
finding more. If you know of a really good Entry that would not pass muster for the Edited Guide let us know at the AGG/GAG homepage. Just start a new conversation there and include a link (or directions) to
the Entry.
We've decided we need to get one suggestion from the Post readers for every one we suggest. So I can't really promise
three more next week unless we hear from you.
