   The gigantic slug that terrorized    
Populopolis for several weeks disappear-
ed as mysteriously as it appeared.      
   It was attempting to steal Avatar    
Celebrindl's collection of heads when   
Celebrindl caught him. Celebrindl stated
"I had a very horrifying head in my pos-
sesion. I won it at the first Adventure 
Weekend. The monster caught a glimpse of
that head and then screamed and ran! He 
left a trail of slime serveral regions  
wide as he ran and suddenly went poof!"

   Two would-be shop keepers were affect
-ed. Aggie and The Wall, soon to open an
apothecary shop on Commerce, were       
quite suddenly restored back to there   
true avatar forms.                      
   The Wall explained that they had     
themselves temporarily turned into slugs
in an effort to find a cure for the     
plague apparently caused by the infec-  
tious tentacle of the slug monster.

  The RANT-N-RAVE FREE PRESS, parent    
  company of the HABITAT WEEKLY RANT,   
  has announced the permanent closing   
  of KRNT Radio News. KRNT radio has    
  been broadcasting since 1987 A.C. in  
  an all-talk radio format. The station 
  was closed on February 8 after the    
  management discovered that no one     
  was listening to due to the lack of   
  radio receivers in Habitat. A photo   
  of the final broadcast is on Page 10.

RJScott, local hermit, refuses to speak 
to a RANT reporter unless he receives   
1000$. The wealthy miser is planning to 
overthrow the Oracle and run HABITAT.   
When asked why a hermit needed tokens he
said, "I don't think you understand,    
this has nothing to do with hermiting. I
need armaments for my massive war on the
so-called 'oracle'." The Rant won't pay 
a "ransom" for printing OraHermit news..

On February 5, the owner of Costello's  
was told to get the "L" working or get  
 the "L" out of Downtown POP altogether.
The violation relates to the PopuPretty 
Laws and the faulty "L" neon tube in the
Costello's sign. No word on when or if a
fix might be done. There are those who  
have suggested it just be renamed as    
Costelo's. The owner was not reachable

     READERS REBEL AT RANT RATE RISE    
                                        
  Bowing to pressure from readers, the  
  management of the Rant-N-Rave Free    
  Press vowed to forestall any increase 
  in the price of The Rant. The Rant is 
  currently priced below cost at 5$. At 
  a meeting with members of RAG (Readers
  Against Greed) consumer advocate and  
  merchant Chameleon said,"We don't care
  if you're losing money, raise ad rates
  if you need tokens to run the printing
  press." Faced with the loss of reader-
  ship or shutting down the paper due to
  lack of funds, ad rates have been

 New adventurers often have difficulty  
 mapping. Even Downtown Pop turns into a
 maze, much less the Beach or Back 40.  
 The Guild recommends that you invest   
 in a compass and start getting in the  
 habit of mapping everything. Mark each 
 region with a ` and label it. You can  
 then show the paths like so: `ÛÛ`ÛÛ`ÛÎ

          ÔÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÓ           
 *SHADOW* Why do you insist that it was 
  I who stole your tokens? If you were  
  turned to stone, how could you know?  
 *JOEYT1* Well, who else can pick       
  pockets? Besides I know you've been   
  stealing from alot of people and I    
  dont want to become like them if you  
  didn't steal it.                      
 *SHADOW* What makes you think that you 
  can catch me anyway? I have eluded    
  even the Oracle's attempts at finding 
  my true name.

 *JOEYT1* I have ways of finding out    
  things like that!                     
                                        
 *SHADOW* Besides the animosity of my   
  collegue, DEATH, what do you hope to  
  gain out of your dream of capturing   
  me?                                   
                                        
 *JOEYT1* I will capture the glory of   
  not having things stolen. If DEATH    
  gets in the way then I'll (hopefully) 
  take care of him. Even if ya didn't   
  take my stuff ya did take from others!

    HERMIT BARELY SCORCHED BY TORCH     
                                        
    Firefighter, trash picker-upper,    
 and hermit RJScott narrowly escaped    
 serious injury while on his trash      
 collection route on Sunday, Jan. 31.   
    Sources close to the scene report   
 that Scott was observed trying to      
 put out a fire at 224 Fast Lane, the   
 scene of numerous lit torches. Six     
 torches initially hampered his fire    
 fighting efforts. No serious damage    
 resulted from the fire but the hermit  
 was said to have been slightly charred.

Letter To The Editor-------From: RJScott
         HOT PINK "LEAVES" LEFT         
Sirrah:                                 
Reporter, Trashman, Hermit, would be    
Oracle, Insult Magnate, and Tour Guide, 
RJScott has completed trash pickup on   
the curbs of lower Habitat.             
    A degree of remiss was noted at the 
turf of Sheriff Gary  M and his wife,   
Becky, as Scott encountered countless   
"pink clusters" of flower-like "leaves".
    He reminds all residents of their   
responsibility to keep their turfs in   
order.            Signed,
