The Mystery Dates are squarely on Dupin’s shoulders, whilst the industrious Scotty has already sent out the invitations. It seems that it’s going to be the event of the season.Okay, if anyone can see thorugh my façade of actually caring, raise your hand.[/size]

WTF?
A column with Dupin.
Due to personal problems, Dupin was not able to submit his article this week.
-------------------------------------------------
Time...
by Sixteen.
October has come upon us. We are finally in the month of Book the Twelfth! And with this month comes more news and information.
First of all, we were made aware of an Egmont (the British publisher) promotion. Everyone is given twelve chances to guess the title of Book the Twelfth. Unfortunately for some, the competition is only open to members of the UK. Hatramroany, however, doesn't seem to mind. He has offered all of the prizes, other than the signed TBB or portable DVD player, to a resident who would offer their address. So far, nobody has taken up the offer, so it's still open!
Another big event is the "Big, Unfortunate Events" on the 22nd of October. There are four events you can take part in. Sponsored Shrieks in which you must talk like Sunny for a day. Invention Ban in which you must refrain from using all technological inventions. Evil Exam in which you will be tested on aSoUE knowledge. And Dismal Disguise in which you must disguise yourself for a day. All the money raised will go to the charity Barnardo's.
On Sunday, on the NamelessNovel.com, there was a recipe, taken from TSS. This was followed up on Monday by a quote from TSS saying that if you substitute the chopped celery with hearts of palm, it is equally delicious. Nobody was really sure about the significance of these clues.
Tuesday brought the piece from the first column, third row. We can now see more of the mysterious woman's coat, the hair of the top-hatted man and what seems to be... smoke. The idea that the man was Sir was quickly dismissed because of a picture of his head in TMM. This man clearly has hair and isn't engulfed in smoke. It was suggested that the smoke was actually a quill pen, although the angle of it caused many to regard it as cigar/cigarette smoke.
On Wednesday was a fire extinguisher classification system. It showed the different types of extinguishers to put out different types of fires. Thursday gave us the piece in the fourth column, third row. It shows a man with a large nose and strange hair. A woman with a wide-brimmed pink hat stands in the background. The general agreement is that the man is Nero, although there are still some who disagree.
On Friday we got a quote from TUA. It was the coda from The Little Snicket Lad. Saturday revealed the October calendar (although some members saw it on Friday, due to URL editing). It seems we're going to have to wait until the 18th until we get the full cover. There was a quote from THH about Klaus' researching skills and a link to Amazon.com.
And so, we await the 18th eagerly. While Snicket thinks we should be nervous about the coming of The Nameless Novel, I'm sure we're all anxious, a word which here means "troubled by the disturbing suspense". There's not much time left now...
-------------------------------------
“Akbar: Oh shytte, I need your article.
PJ: Oh salsa I haven't written it yet”
I am, now, though. As I sat in the bath, reading my English homework book “Things Fall Apart” I desperately thought about what I could write. Nothing came to mind. Damned writer’s block. So I just decided to rant about anything I could find.
First of all, that Murder Party game thing. After waiting for ages, Dupin tells us he has no time, and someone else should take over. Ok, so he made a mistake. So then we find out, after waiting for ages, that Dupin’s replacement hasn’t read the game rules before he decided to take on the job. And the clue he gave us was not only not what he was supposed to give us, but it was a lame clue, too. The moderator of Ghastly Games has even said it’s crap. Our esteemed Editor-In-Chief himself hopes to take over. I hope he’ll do better than his predecessors.
Next on the line is…*checks list of ranting material* ah, yes. As you all know, Rikku’s been the mod of Gruesome Greetings forever. Well, I’m not exactly sure how long she’s been it, but she’s been the mod for as long as I’ve been on 667, which is a year and a bit. But anyways, so one day she resigns. But what bugs me about the whole thing is that a month has passed, and no one has noticed. All of nine people posted in the thread. So far, no move has been made to replace her, just as no move has been made to get a new Wicked World mod. No one has even SAID anything. It’s depressing.
Ok. Oh yeah, this isn’t really my turf, but that lame 133 Unfortunate Events thing of jcgsebald isn’t annoying anymore, it’s funny. Dupin himself has descended from his high moderator throne of doom to tell jcgsebald to quit his dribble.
I’m running out of things to rant about. The prettiest thread scandal was pretty annoying, but that was already discussed last week, and I’ll probably get flamed for bringing it up again (that’s what my job is, people!). So I guess this article is finished.
Oh, wait. People who don’t finish their stories. I hate them. I’M LOOKING AT YOU, ENNUI, AMBER, LUNA, JAMES AND DUPIN. *shakes fist*. It’s really, really, really, annoying. Especially if they are talented, as the above writers are. Stupid idiots. START WHAT YOU FINISHED, DAMNIT. No offense.
My braces are really annoying me. And this hole in my jeans just keeps getting bigger and bigger. No joke! I think I got it whilst kneeling on the floor, writing stuff in a batch of wet cement, and it’s just GROWN. I mean, now my entire knee fits in the hole. I’m pretty sure the hole will grow and swallow up the world some day.
Ok, that’s the article.
And a word from our sponsors – SPOOOOOOOOON GUUUUUUUUARD

Le Editorial Ala Le Grey
By thepompous b****** editor-in-chief; Le Grey.
I’m really not in the mood to write a sparkly, cheery, witty editorial. Or even a morbid witty one. I’m sitting here, staring at my keyboard, with “Long-Forgotten Fairytale” blasting out of the computer speakers. “I saw you last in summertime…” I’m sorry to put you through this, but bear with me. We’ll get to the real topicjust as soon as I actually think of one. Ho-hum. So…weather.
*sticks head out window*
Dark. With a few stars, and a moon.
Yes, this is about how exciting my Saturday night is going to be. Fun, fun, fun’til her daddy takes the T-bird away.. Well, I’ve bored you long enough, I suppose. Oh no, wait, I need about 30 more words. I’m glad The 667er managed to survive last week’s uproar, for which I am, of course, extremely sorry. It was never meant to be taken seriously. However, I have decided to stop my “Diary of…” as I see that it can hurt people badly. Yet I’m still a bit confused about why, when I published my really cool member one, no-one cared, but the pseudo-intellectual one created such a hullabaloo.
I suppose it’s just the way people are classed on 667.
Ahem.
I’m done now. Au revoir.

I made this my face and it stuck this way ):
I had an uh-oh...
My mouth has been taped shut by terrorists, adopt me today!
Should I shoot him in the head, or stomach?
Open your mouth, recive a suprise, I BITE!

Jemima’s Unadvice Column.
Dear Jemima,
School is very stressful at the moment.
Can you help me?
Thanks, PJ
Dear Peej,
School is really horrible. I mean, who needs it? Really, you'd think you could stay at home all day on some whacked-out website or sleep yourself to death, if you wanted to. Here me out: Skool iz dum!
So don't stress yourself out, let school stress itself out. Don't do your homework, don't go to school games, sleep in class- practically boycott school. But just make sure that you keep going to school, because if you didn't, you'd probably find yourself grounded in the next few days after you started all of this. And, um, that's kind of worse than school, because you don't really have freedom or anything, along with going to school.
So anyway, take my advice- it will really help!
Sincerely,
Jemima
PM your problems to Jemima.
And this week's Jemima's How To:
How to make popcorn! Note: Use these directions at your own risk. The 667er takes no responsibility for the results.
Step 1: Get tons and tons of popcorn kernels
Step 2: Get a really big pan
Step 3: Turn up a stove (doesn't matter what kind) to the highest temperature the stove has
Step 4: Turn off your home's fire detector, because they can be pretty annoying sometimes...
Step 5: Call V.F.D.
Step 6: Put the kernels and some butter in the pan and put a lid on the pan
Step 7: Let them pop and pop until ALL the kernels have popped
Step 8: Let V.F.D. put out the fire
Step 9: Put the popcorn in the freezer for 5 min.
Step 10: Add some salt and more butter in the batch, well, because burnt popcorn doesn't really taste good.
Step 11: Enjoy!
