This story is for any of you potential Kip Kinkles out there. Are you frequently bullied and beat up in school? Do kids call you names and shove you into lockers when you pass by? Do you just wish everyone would die a slow painful death as you cackle over their still-smoldering corpses? Well, welcome to high school. Nothing you are experiencing is new, interesting or unique. You are one of millions of kids in school right now getting the snot kicked out of them on a daily basis. And sure, it sucks. Every stroll through the cafeteria is a humiliating kick in the crotch, both figuratively and, occasionally, literally. But this is no reason fish daddy’s pistol out from under his bed and take it to school looking to get your war on. You do what countless generations of dorks, nerds, dweebs, spastics and pen-huffing morons have done before you. You take the daily bludgeonings, graduate at the top of your class, fly the bird during your college valedictorian speech, invent the personal computer and make billions. You don’t exact your revenge with physical violence, you exact your revenge by boning Jessica Biel on top of the hors dourves table at your 20th high school reunion. And this is why I will once again tell the future Columbiners of America out there to stop it. Thinking about killing yourself and a bunch of classmates imaginging that you’ll go down in history, remembered forever as the guy who finally stood up to that bully Stevie Richards? You won’t. You’ll be remembered as the crazy moron who listened to too much Manson and botched his own suicide. You will likely end up just like this kid in

New Orleans who marched into his 7th grade class and demanded that the teacher “hail Marilyn Manson.” When the teacher refused he took a shot at her with his dad’s gun and apparently miss. He then attempted to speak like Jeremy in class today and botched that as well. He is in critical condition at the moment. He left a suicide note explaining that he planned to kill others before taking his own life. Also found in his room with the note were the lyrics to the Slayer song “Raining Blood” and a picture this kid drew of himself dressed with camouflage pants and shoes and an AC/DC “Highway to Hell.” On the picture he gave himself a title: “The LCO Gunman”  because he goes to Larose-Cut Off Middle School in

Louisiana. And if you will notice I never gave the kid’s name and was sure to paint him in a negative light, just as I will with you if you too are considering something so mind numbingly stupid as the idiot.

And on a positive note Mike Patton has yet another project to work on. Not only is he involved with about a dozen bands, one of which being the freshly reunited Faith No More, now Mike will be working with Alan Moore. You may know Alan Moore as the author of comic series’ such as V for Vendetta and Watchmen.

Moore has tapped Patton to write some music for a section of his two-hour audio book for the deluxe package of semi-autobiographical work. The audiobook will be released in 2010. It’s not clear what Patton’s contribution will be, if it’s a full song with vocals or just some moody instrumental music to be played behind whoever is reading the text.
