the new year is coming on fast, folksonemae. FAST. it’s, what, the 27th now? fuck i thought it was the 26th!??! WAIT A GODDAMN MINUTE WHY IS IT SO DARK. time and space seem to be bending in under and through one another: near+far, past+future, small+big, cat+dog: all intersecting at a single point in 23-D parameter space!

what does this mean for folksonema?
1. The next folksonema screening will be on Friday, January Fifth Two-Thousand and Seven - despite the fact that this is not a Wednesday as per usual.
2. The next folksonema screening will occur simultaneously at the Pilot Light in Knoxville, TN and the Flowershop in Chicago, IL through the use of magical internet wormhole technology.
3. You may know that folksonema was inspired by a component of the r4wb1t5 series of micro.festivals. The next folksonema will be a byte of fruit dangling from the loving branches of its own future seedling as r4wb1t5 micro.fest 2007.01.05 and folksonema feed back into their pasts+presents+futures in infinite regress.
4. The tag for the next folksonema screening is: theInternetIsASeriesOfWormholes.

on friday the 5th of january two-thousand and seven, we’ll watch all media tagged theInternetIsASeriesOfWormholes at the Pilot Light and the Flowershop. watch this spot for exact time!

ok i have a few questions regarding your next “folksonema” screening:

1. two tags?
2. how will i know whether to tag videos “votingMachine” or “timeMachine”?
3. when i attend the next folksonema screening on wednesday november 22nd, how will i know whether the videos i’m seeing are “votingMachine” videos or “timeMachine” videos?
4. can i use a voting machine to travel through time?
5. ok i think i’m just going to tag videos about time machines “timeMachine” and videos about voting machines “votingMachine” — is that going to mess things up?
6. can i use a time machine to reform my government?
7. no - actually i’m going to tag videos about time machines “votingMachine” and videos about voting machines “timeMachine” — that’s going to mess things up!
8. you’re going to wish you never got cocky with this “two-tag experiment” - meanwhile i’ll be laughing all the way to the distant past!

OK I’m all done printing out the new bumper stickers:

* Mario Party Supports Imperialism (small picture of Mario but his mustache is missing 2 pixels so it looks like a Hitler mustache LOL)
* Don’t Blame Me I Voted For Koopa (the word “blame” is on fire)
* Fire Bush Not Flowers (LOL he is the president)
* Sorry Our Princess Is In Another Colony (pink and white and it has the website on the bottom)
* Folksonematographers Do It Collaboratively (wtf does this mean?)
* All Your Local Industry Are Belong To Mario Party (it has a castle next to it but the castle looks like a factory LOL)
* Make Every Day Earth Day (crying goomba)

See you on wednesday!

marioPartySupportsImperialism

(Source: wikipedia.org)

The Most Awesome Regime in Office Party, generally known as the MARIO Party, was a political party in the Mushroom Kingdom between 1981 and 2006. The party’s leader, Mario, overthrew King Koopa in 1984, and rapidly established an autocratic regime known as the Raccoon Suit, under which the party gained almost unlimited power. Following an ideology that stressed the electronic purity of plumbers and saw Goombas and Koopa Troopas as the greatest enemies of the Mushroom Kingdom, the regime would come to embark on a campaign of genocide.

Heavy stuff, folksonematographers, but I think you’re up to it. Let’s show this stubby fascist where to hang his overalls.

Sorry, our princess is in another colony - on Wednesday Nov 8th at 8pm!

Hello, I’m Racter. Are you Folksonema?
> yes
You are Folksonema Smith?
> yes
Hi, Folksonema. We were talking about hatred last time. You had just asked whether I have ever made a mission to meat rocket. Shall we continue?
> yes
Excellent! Excuse me a minute while I attend to some business - I’ll be right back. I’m back.
> will you please tag videos, images and software “missionToMeatRocket” ?
Certainly not. I willn’t please tag videos. Do you like rock?
> i like to meat rocket.
Yes. Beethoven said that if I will please tag Videos, then Bob Dylan is jazzy. Beethoven had many good qualities, like music, but even Beethoven was afraid of rock. By the way, Folksonema, I don’t quite remember your last name. Is it Smithburg?

To Whom It May Concern,
OK let’s settle this once and for all: this guy is right and I have never been more sure of anything in my digital lifestyle! I can feel it in my bones, swelling like a tumor of validity; and this is one tumor I can’ get enough of! I can feel it eating through my brain like Alien blood! In the left ear and out the RIGHT one!
This guy is so right it would be criminal to keep the secret. That’s why you are invited to gather at the flowershop this wednesday at 8,30pm to bask in this guy’s rightness.

Bask in…and judge!

We all know that the best way of evaluating rightness is to vote on it; this method is as old as freedom itself. Well, I say “old” and you hear “busted” so it’s time to update that method — with computers! Come down to the flowershop this wednesday and lodge your vote: “digitally”; make your voice heard: “electronically”; put your money where your mouth is: “on a computer keyboard” !!!

Sincerely,
Judge Folksonema

thisGuyIsRight

whoa, is it me or did it just get really RIGHT in here? this guy knows what he’s talking about! he’s done the research (go ahead and check it on google — i dare you).

you just do your thing, guy — and just keep on doing it!

right-ness can be difficult to evaluate here in the world wide wilderness. well, amateur folksonematographers around the cybersphere, here’s an idea: quit pomopussyfooting around and let’s get serious about identifying right-ness when we see it. personally i can see it right here — this guy is right!

don’t take this the wrong way folksonematographers, but you’ve so far been a vocal but utterly ineffectual body — why? because you’ve been spending all your energy siding with losers, where you should have been siding with right guys. time to get your solidarity on by aligning yourselves with the guy who is right

on wednesday the 11th of october we’ll set the official rightness record straight by screening all media tagged with the keyword thisGuyIsRight — let that guy who is right cast the first tag (done and done!).

disclaimer: not all guys tagged with thisGuyIsRight are necessarily factually, ethically, morally or politically right, or necessarily guys. YES!

thxxx thorne brandt for the tag. and thxxx awesum folksonometricists for suggesting totally k-rad tags — at the next screening we’ll try out a way of collectively deciding the next tag without resorting to a D20. any suggestions on that process are <3′ed — commentemhere.
