Well "Ginger," or "IT," or whatever you want to call it, was
unveiled earlier today. Count me among the vastly underwhelmed. If
I was any less whelmed, I'd be plant food. To read more
about
it, click here.

Transporter, or SHT (I'm not kidding) for short, click right

Is it just me, or is there a flexigrip up his arse.

Boy howdy! Here's one for the fans in the Great White North. It looks
like the fifth season of South Park will debut on Canada's Comedy
Network on December 28th. Seeing that the subject matter is
so timely, Episode #509 "Osama bin Laden has Farty Pants" will
lead off the season. Episode #502 "It Hits the Fan" will follow
on January 4, 2002. I'm assuming the remainder of the season will
follow in the same order as originally broadcast.
Big up
to DTISFU for the heads up. To read more about it, visit your
local library, or just click right here.
The next South Park DVD will include four episodes from the
first half of Season Five. That sucker should
hit the shelves sometime in June of 2002. The four episodes
included are "It Hits the Fan," "Cripple Fight," "Scott Tenorman
must Die," and "Proper Condom Use." So quit asking!

Mr. Garrison Hits the Big-Time
Setaanbomb posted this link to a great article in Time Magazine
about Dean Kamen's "It," now known at "SHT," or Segway Human Transporter.
They even mention South Park in the article
Even the reprobates at South Park got into the act, spoofing Ginger in a recent episode--the details of which, sadly, are unprintable in a family magazine.
Wow, Time called us "reprobates." We're certainly moving up
in the world, aren't we? Can Time's "Person of the Year" (tm) be far behind?

Since the crash last week we've been working hard on getting all the downloads and the BBS back to the way they used to
be so please bear with us. We are aware of the things that are going wrong on the BBS and with the downloads so there is no need
to email us about the broken links we're working on it! I will post here on the main news page and the BBS once there are
new things fixed on the site. Thanks so much for your patience!
Just wanted to let you all know that we're fixing up the broken links in the downloads section. Those should be
done soon. Once I know when everything is back up and in working order I will post here on the main news
page and on the BBS to let you all know. I have been doing my regular processing of images/sounds/and videos so
they're all ready to go.
Just to let you all know that we are aware of the office photos page and interviews page being down,
so you don't need to email me anymore about it. They're getting worked on and should be up soon so don't worry. The BBS also
still has a few quirks and that's getting fixed so please be patient. It'll back up and
running like it used to soon.
I added a new poll so cast your votes by clicking... nyaw
Some of you have been emailing us asking when the site will get a holiday make over.
Once we've gotten the minor problems that occurred after the crash I will make it happen! For now it's still the Thanksgiving
stuff.

Here's a one of the photos we took at the South Park Staff Christmas Party we had not too long ago!
This is (from left to right)Ali, Steve, Alison, Tricia and Daryl
This was some good fun, and you gotta love the open bar and free yummy asian food! Everyone sat down by the fire
and opened their Secret Santa gift later on during the night that was either giving to them by a busty red-headed
female santa, or a guy with no shirt, santa pants, santa hat and a cheetah thong. But isn't Christmas all about the cheetah
thong? Of course! Typical Norman Rockwell style... cheetah thong.

More X-Mas Party Pictures
From left to right, Scotty, Keo, Ryan, Crispy and Adrien. Ryan accidentally smacked his head on the knee of someone else
in a huge dogpile dash to the carpet for a prize. Unfortunately Ryan came up empty handed and bloody! Maybe he learned his lesson
that diving to the carpet with five other people usually ends up in PAIN! As we were giving away our secret santa presents, Trey kept
tackling people to the ground, he's a good tackler! He just might fulfill his greatest ambition after all!
