About the RPPS The Rockaway Park
Philosophical Society was formed by three friends in 1971. Its mission is
to spead the true
philosophy expressed in the Fullosia. The Society says
it exaults the mundane and ridicules the exalted in conformance with the
teachings of Rene Chateau Briand who scorned philosophers who prattle
about life but don't know how to act in a dime store." The Society
encourages and promotes American culure and a new national language

RPPS Holloween October 2000 Edition
Hill launches $30B into Campaign
Hill in her quest to leave the White House for the Hill
has massed, according to reports in the Establishment Press
$30 billion dollar campaign chest to fight an unknown opponent.
This is the highest price paid for a Senate seat in the history
of the US Senate. Certainly the Hill will receive the Hill deserving
of the title "Madam of the Big House."
Meanwhile Hill's campaign has not been without its burdens
on bustling New York City.
As Red sympathizers open their wallets for the First Madam,
Feds continue to pour
FBI and secret service into the up-Hill
battle. "If they put another G-Man behind the G-string girl
Manhattan Island might sink," locals have been quoted as saying.
Even so the hardy folk of New York blase as they are to all
manner of inconvenience report they are tiring of
the ever increasing police check points on the streets.
"They act like they expect the French Revolution!" locals snicker
as plants stopped at the check point orate praises of the protection
heightened surveillance brings.
Could Hill be the American Austrian?
"Holy Hillery!"

Arabs Counter-Attack: US Ship sunk
A US Navy ship was sunk off a Yemeni harbor in an apparant counter-attack
by Arabs. The Establishment press reports few casualties, but it is believed
all hands were lost. Despite claims of all sorts of sophisticated
surveillance equipment in possession of US forces, an Arab Tug pulled alongside
the USN vessel and blew it to pieces. Will this lead to the 4th or 5th
war of this administration?
"Surpisingly, the usually bellicose President Clinton has been unheard-from!"
Cream Puffs Debate
Meally mouthed Texas Governor GW Bousch was hardly tall in the saddle
when he traded patty-cake with Al Gore in
an uninspiring debate, arguing which of the two would
best carry out President Clinton's works.
With "this" and "that" as the major party candidates,
informed observers now fear that the white house would
remain a cat-house.
Opposition candidate Patrick Buchanan put forward his
first TV advertisement, advocating an English only Law
to stem the tide of cultural fragmentation.
It was good Mr Buchanan was not included in the debate.
"This" and "That" might have been required to speak to an issue
other than how much they like Bubba Bill.
Soc-Webb
To Spruce After Being Bolted by Change
Following our host'sAngelfire.com's
rule change, The RPPS revised its non-Angelfire.com
sites to conform to a new dictat that images
from Angelfire.com sites may not be
linked on other servers.
Regrettable most of the RPPS images were moved to
bolt.com.
Bolt has relocated its member pages. This means that an "X"
may appear instead of the picture. Thus on RPPS'
Arthurian Report an "X"
appears instead of the
Arthurian court.
The revision of off-Angelfire
Soc-Webb sites will shortly begin.
Inditer dot com 's Political Debate
As usual Bill Loeppky the witty, hard hitting editor of
the Internet's leading literary Ezine
THE INDITER
previously named
Prince Regent of the RPPS in Canada and
beleaguered philosopher of 1999
and who was granted the high and extraordinary degree
Doctor of Fullosophical Studies and whose efforts
won him the acclaim of the famed
Bibliotek
Nationale du Canada is enjoying American politics
from a distance with publishing several satirical repartees in
the renowned Inditer .
The Inditer
and Dr Bill live up to the societal command to exalt the mundane
and demystify the sublime.
But can Bill explain why the Hockey Hall of Fame is the Hall of Fame
in English and "The Temple of The Renowned" in French?
The Rebels Yell
The Alcoa plant in North Carolina has struck the Rebel Colors to
the consternation of the entire Southland. According to news from
the Carolinas, Alcoa management will not allow the Red-White and Blue saltaire
cross to be displayed on vehicles entering its property. Union
officials at the affected plants accuse management of enacting rules to
forster unrest.
In this issue
This is of course the RPPS October-Holloween issue.
And Holloween is the spooky time of year
as they days get shorter and the leaves fall in
the brisk breezes of autumn. It's a favorite time
for Spooky Stories and Mysteries.
Don Grant Deman: Harpie Prequel:
Grant Deman of Royston, BC who recently emerged in the art of
the nightmarish tale has reached a new height with his eerie bird
pouncing from on high in Harpie Pre-Quel.
Everytime Grant DeMan The Canadian O'Henry puts out a
new piece, we suffer not
a sense of disappointment over coming to the end of
a marvelous story but the expectation that from
far up in the Canadian tundra, the nationally
recognised
Inditer.com
will send us an even better one.
The humble pages of
Inditer dot com
edited by Bill Loeppkey,
have again in their good grace graced us with
Don Grant Deman's
latest work
Harpie Pre-Quel, as a powerful introduction
to the Harpie legend with all its shades of Poe's horror,
O'Henry's irony and Hichcock's moralism. This is a splended piece of work, a
morality without a sermon, well worth reading.

With typical modesty Don Grant Deman replies: To be the Canadian Chocolate bar or to just have the muchies!
Editors Choice: THE RPPS Goes Looks for a Chilly Mystery
The Pumpkin Papers
This is the RPPS October-Holloween Special and
as the leaves are falling we should be out raking or
at least curling up with a good book--- preferably a mystery.
Recently I've taken my browsing to "Odd-Jobs," a junk store
created by the consolidation and franchising out of
junk merchants "Odd-Lots" and "Job-Lots" of New York City.
Many interesting Titles which did not sell at more sophisticated
markets land on Odd-Job's dusty shelves at fractions of their original
price.
There I found unloved and up for sale Peter Benchley's
Great White Shark at $1.99. ($2.50 Can). For 16 bits, what
a bargain!
Benchley is of course the author of JAWS
an adventure
not quite bordering on the Hemmingway level and a moral
paradox with shades of the moral paradoxes pondered by
Hendreik Ibsen and Arthur Miller in their versions of
An Enemy of the People. But for popular
American literature Jaws enjoyed a certain
literary superiority above the usual papercovered trash.
Regretably Great White is the fish that should have gotten away.
Benchley posits a sea-creature so mean that only the Nazis
could have invented and so ravenous that the monsters of the deep
give flight. In engrafting his fish tale onto the tired strands of
World War II propaganda yarns, Benchley produced a whale of a tale
that even the most ravenous anti-fascist couldn't swallow hook line and sinker.
The horror in Great White is that it ever floated past The First Reader's Desk.

Lost Hunters
Creepy nightmares and Holloween go hand in ghoul.
There is something creepy about Woody. It could be his cold eyes, his chipped nose, or the way he, a discarded department store mannequin, manages to get from place to place. Creepy indeed, but wait until his friends get to town.
Lost Hunters by Deanne Devine puts a modern twist on the ghoulish legend.
John Barker is back in Miltonville. Once every generation, Barker is given a chance to kill one special person, to set loose his wicked soul on earth. It’s all part of a game set up by the Wethacanwee, the laughing ghosts who captured a living Barker and now held him to a set of undefined rules.
Each previous attempt at freedom has ended with an embarrassing mistake, but times are changing. The ghosts are becoming lax with him, giving away secrets, dropping clues. Barker is learning the game, and this time out he knows the landscape, he knows his prey, and when he catches her, he will know how to dispose of her. What could possibly go wrong? Plenty.
What awaits in John Barker’s path are nosy neighbors, meddlesome police, a possessed mannequin, his whiny mistress, and Ed Philips, a man old beyond his years who has been waiting for Barker’s return. A man who has studied Barker’s patterns. A man who is also learning the rules. A man who knows this is his last opportunity to finish the game. John Barker is about to learn there is nothing quite so desperate as a frustrated old man.

Turkeys
"Turkeys, whether wild or domestic, look to me like
vultures. They are carnivores and will devour their own young
if given the chance. That is why undesireable people are
often referred to as being turkeys.
I will nominate the word turkey for the American Standard Jive
dictionary as being a word to describe undesireable people, those with less than
average intelligence and politicians.
Perhaps to include politicians would be redundant as they
are both undesireable and have less than average intelligence.
Calling them turkeys would be oxymoronic."
