                          - October 2000 - Monday 
                          10\30\00 - 8:06 PM GMT Human Heads album nears completion
 After months of diligent work, the debut album by Lila 
                          Tene & Rev. 
                          Smith's new band The Human Heads is almost 
                          ready for release.  A Thanksgiving Day launch for 
                          the album is expected.  Music stores across the 
                          globe are scrambling to make sure they will have sufficient 
                          copies of the album on hand to avoid things turning 
                          ugly as they did with the release of Smith's 1999 album 
                          LIFE 
                          & DEATH.
 Thursday 
                          10\26\00 - 3:55 PM GMT "Nougat-ass" added to language
 With a 6-1 vote, the deciding committee of the Oxford English Dictionary 
                          today officially added the hyphenated word "nougat-ass" 
                          to the list of words that will be added to the 2001 
                          edition of their famous tome. The entry credits Rev. 
                          Smith's autobiographical short story You 
                          Drive; I'll Shoot with the term's origin, and will 
                          include the example sentence "Goddamn nougat-ass 
                          froodies be smackin' out like Ralph Nader at McDonald's."
 Monday 
                          10\23\00 - 12:05 AM GMT Smith tarred, feathered
 The Rev. Brendan Powell Smith was rudely awakened at dawn this morning 
                          when he was stuffed into a burlap sack, carried into 
                          the village square by a local mob, and promptly tarred 
                          and feathered. Throughout the day, many of his peers 
                          came out to laugh at him in this most humiliating condition. 
                          As the sun set, the same mob washed him of the tar and 
                          feathers, dressed him in fine linens, and proclaimed 
                          him King of France.

                          10\20\00 - 8:37 AM GMT E! Celebrity Profile
 Tonight's E! Celebrity 
                          Profile features Rev. Smith and a host of close 
                          friends and fellow celebrities.  Smith warns, however, 
                          that viewers should take their stories about him with 
                          a grain of salt. "Tony [Danza] really has no right 
                          to characterize our relationship in that light," 
                          said Smith. "And I think Webster is still upset 
                          that we've cast [Gary] Coleman to play him in [BRAD: 
                          the game] the movie."
 Tuesday 
                          10\17\00 - 6:40 PM GMT "Tastes like chicken"
 Trapped for more than 100 hours in the rubble of a weekend earthquake 
                          in San Francisco that measured 8.4 on the Richter scale, 
                          Rev. Smith was forced to gnaw off and eat his own left 
                          arm, surviving off its sustenance for days while waiting 
                          to be rescued.  Having barely survived the ordeal, 
                          Smith is now taking pains to make sure his replacement 
                          arm is made from space-age polymers which are at least 
                          80% more earthquake-proof than standard human flesh.
 Saturday 
                          10\14\00 - 3:52 AM GMT Blast from the past
 Rev. Smith today received a blast from the past at approximately 2pm 
                          EST. The blast knocked him backward onto his ass, leaving 
                          him momentarily stunned and confused. The source of 
                          the blast is unknown at this time, but some experts 
                          have suggested that Smith himself may be responsible, 
                          having at some point in the 1980s blindly sent forth 
                          this blast into the future - only to strike himself 
                          today. "How fitting that would be," noted 
                          his aunt Pam.
 Wednesday 
                          10\11\00 - 8:13 AM GMT Shut the fuck up!
 Look, I don't even wanna hear it from you, alright?  Don't even 
                          get started with me.  Just keep your big mouth 
                          shut.  Jesus H. Christ. I mean enough already... 
                           What?  What's that?  What did I just 
                          fucking tell you?!  Shut the fuck up!
 Sunday 
                          10\8\00 - 5:48 PM GMT Hurricane 2000
 It's early morning.  The sun comes out.  
                          Last night was shaking - and pretty loud.  My cat 
                          is purring - and scratches my skin.  So what is 
                          wrong with another sin?  The bitch is hungry.  She 
                          needs to tell.  So give her inches - and feed her 
                          well.  More days to come; new places to go.  I've 
                          got to leave.  It's time for a show.  Here 
                          I am!  Rock you like The Scorpions!
 Tuesday 
                          10\4\00 - 12:15 PM GMT BRAD: the game 
                          - back up!
 It took an army of highly skilled engineers a fortnight to bring it about, 
                          but Rev. Smith's BRAD: the game went back online 
                          this morning, to the cheers of thousands of the games 
                          enthusiasts. A band of rabid B:tG 
                          fans from Idaho City, ID, who had been on a 'urine strike' 
                          for the duration of the game's downtime, finally relieved 
                          themselves at 9:16 AM. "Aaaaaaaaaaaaah," said 
                          one.
