Today is Monday, August 13, 2012, and, while the legalisms of early August were continued into the previous week, we will focus our attentions on other news while we await results in the cases before trial. Here is what else has been happening!
- The Race to 100 reached 92 with "In the Forest of Masks". To those who have asked "Can Mystery X make it to 100?", we can only question the minds and convictions of such askers who could even wonder. Failure is not an option or even an outcome that could possibly happen. X shall reach 100, and with time to spare! Have faith!
- And, on the subject of races, the first annual Infictive County "Running for the High" Marathon, organized by the local chapter of SOSM in support of drug law reform, was a rip-roaring success as runners from across the state and beyond gathered just outside Libreville to run a five-mile stretch of the high desert highway. The declared winner was Prince Shemaiah, an out-of-towner who beat out two local favourites to win, Joop Conan and Giacomo Burgiss.
- Word of Alan Smithee's latest has leaked, and it may well surprise a few: "Carnumentory", a documentary film detailing the life and work of Carney, famed painter and Kansan midget farmer. The copy we read suggested it would provide a "mad cap look" at the artist, which is about what you would expect given the subject matter. No release date, but sources have said it will be screened locally once it hits the festival circuit.
- Opposition to Titan Industry's OPERATION HUBER has been making its move onto the cyber-space world-wide-web, led in the charge by none other than Andrew McFing. Fashioning themselves as "anti-Hubris" activists, McFing and friends' new web-site issued a call for the release of all squirrels kept in captivity, going so far as to suggest that if it is not done voluntarily that "other parties may intervene decisively" in favor of the imprisoned rodents.
- "Where are all these robots coming from?" That is the question residents of Infictive County townships have been asking themselves and anyone who will listen to them since the alleged appearance of these mechanical marvels in their streets and squares. So far no one has been able to photograph or record these amazing androids, and, if they exist, no outside parties have claimed credit for their construction. While local officials are worried they may pose a danger to traffic, state and federal authorities have responded to the claims with fierce skepticism, writing off the whole thing as an elaborate hoax to drum up tourism dollars.
And that was the week In Infictive, reminding you that when they call, it may not be wise to go to them, but it may be necessary.
