It never hit me until the other
day.
I was over in the Towers and
my throat was kind of dry and I
said, "Hey, I'll just run down to
the lobby and grab me a Coke."
But it didn't hit me until I reached
the lobby, where a beautiful wetlooking
Pepsi machine stood . ..
Over the summer, a bunch of
trucks came and took the Coke
machines away to some far off
place. And then, these other trucks
came and dropped off Pepsi machines
exactly where the Coke machines
had once stood.
This didn't bother me at first.
As a matter of fact, at first I was
content, just standing there looking
at the new drink machine. "I kinda
like Pepsi," I thought. "Maybe I'll
just drink a Mountain Dew." I
don't really believe in a distinct
difference between the two beverage
companies anyway.
But, none of the Pepsi machines
had the cool video game that several
of the Coke machines had.
You know, you pop in your quarters,
make your selection, and for
the next 30 seconds you get to annoy
the person in line behind you
by making the little guy run back
and forth catching the Coke cans
as they fell from the sky.
You could never ever win the
damn thing, but it was reassuring
just having it there. It broke up the
monotony of my day. It made me
late to class. It made me feel good
about myself.
Thanks, Pepsi. Thanks.
Ah, the Dave Smith Acoustic

Kind of neat, isn't it?
Well, they seem to think so.
Smith, the group's leader, said
the ensemble fired up about two
years ago and he and his friends
have been "jamming" ever since.
They formed the group out of

Bad jokes I heard this week;
(part one) y\ \
Q: Did you hear who quit smoking?
A: Pee Wee Gaskin. *?
Two bums are walking dowi> the
street together and one accidentally!
heads down the subway entrance!
and back up the exit The first bum
says to the other,"Man, where'd
you go?" The second bum
says,"Some guys basement and
boy did he have a great set of
trains."
Well, tonight at Rockafetta's,
Fireball XL-5 will play a special 8
p.m. primetime showcase. I understand
they rock pretty hard.
The show not to miss this week
is Friday, when 49 ReaspHs,
Kindred Soul and 10 X Big stecre
the stage. *
Kindred Soul is an up and comina

here in Columbia who mix classic
Hendrix, Bob Marley and Bad
Brains covers with their own powerful
originals. I have seen
Kindred Soul several times and
each time they put on an incredible
show reminiscent of the Fishbone.
Next time, look forward to more
senseless wit and regular nonsense'.
