uses "Twylla" wands. Here's how to do it
1) Get two "Twylla wouldn't be amused"
wands. Then get another Avatar to be
the mediator.
2) The mediator counts all the hits made
in a three minute period. The winner

In an uncharacteristic move, the
Oracle appeared in avatar form and
spoke "on the record" to The Rant.
The Oracle had a message for all
avatars. "Hey, I built you a world
and gave you homes, a perpetual bank
account, and lots of good stuff. Look,
when I say I'll see what I can do,
check out what I've already done. Not
a bad track record. Have some fun." He

Staff speculated that G-R-E-A-T was a

Þracle-Watcher Filbert was consulted
for his expert opinion on the cryptic
last word uttered by Habitat's Creator.
It was Filbert's opinion that "Great"
was either the Oracle's shopping list:
(G)reenwort (R)ootberry (E)delseed
(A)rcherries (T)rocheese OR the Oracle
meant great as in "Okay, great...bye".

it should come as no shock that he is
also talking about plans to take over

conspirators in the Coup, all the pages

avoid the danger of contradiction and to

Recent crime reports have shot a

own guns and 49 percent say they are
likely to buy guns. The poll used a tar-

FIRST HABITAT DIVORCEE
--A TEARFUL BONNIE REVEALS ALL--
Bonnie, the first Habibride to be wed
twice to the same mate, made history
again by being Habitat's first divorcee.
"I think our HabiMarriage was doomed
from the first," Bonnie confided, "and
the second wasn't an improvement." Her
first Habiwedding to Dragonfish was one
disaster after another. First, the
bride suddenly fell prey to the epidemic
of Cootie-itis that was sweeping the
city. Abbot Greg P was unable to
19
BONNIE'S TEARFUL TALE
attend and the ceremony was performed
by self-proclaimed judge CLB, whom, it
was later learned, was not empowered to
perform HabiMarriages. The Maid of Honor
and Best Man were also missing. At the
end of the wedding, Dragonfish, the
groom, announced that he didn't have
time for a honeymoon and left the
tearful bride waiting at the church.
Several weeks later, the ceremony
was repeated, this time with Abbot Greg,
Maid of Honor and Best Man present.
20
BONNIE'S TEARFUL TALE
At first, all seemed well, but again,
the strangely reluctant groom avoided
the HabiHoneymoon.
Bonnie told The Rant and her
attorneys, SkyLine and Chameleon, that
she thought the HabiMarriage had been
consummated before the first ceremony,
but since things are so different in
Habitat, she wasn't sure. She kept
sobbing something unintelligible about
"making soup broth".
When last seen, the HabiDivorcee was
strolling around with a new Avatar.

just under two weeks. If Eric lives

An unidentified Avatar has been

As a public service, The Rant
dispatched an investigative reporter,
who speedily uncovered the facts and a

It seems the Avatar happened to be

tossing $'s about. Feeling the money
landing un his unsuspecting head, the

he jumped to the conclusion that the

jumping contusions.

Letter to The Editor-----"Pocket Peeper"
Dear Wrag Writer,
I must object to the elusive "someone"
who is constantly putting his/her
business into MY pocket. How else
would they KNOW I have mail?
When I enter Habitat, I can tell for
MYSELF that I have MAIL IN MY POCKET.
I take offense to someone looking in
MY pocket. Heaven knows that they may
see something I don't WANT them to
see!
KEEP OUTTA MY POCKET! RJScott

Letter To The Editor-------From: RJScott
"DIVOTS?"
Dear Ed,
I am in the process of counting all the
turfs in Habitat. I have had a report of
missing turfs, and I'm counting them all
in order to ascertain how many we have
and how many have disappeared. I will
let you know of my findings after I have
counted the disappeared ones. I am in
the process of counting those that are
still here. I expect it will be more
difficult to count those that have
disappeared because it still LOOKS like
they're there. Regards, RJHouseCounter
