HAPPY BIRTHDAY REALITY
SYNDICATE!!!
It's
now official, the Reality Syndicate is two years old! That may not
seem like much, but look at how far we've come in that time. Here
we are with 124 articles and plenty of other random distractions.
The staff here would just like to thank the visitors for making
this site what it is today. Here's to another great year!
Syndicate
Radio Land
Today
the Reality Syndicate implements an amazing new toy to play with!
We've actually been saving it for this day, our birthday. Say hello
to Syndicate Radio! Open up Syndicate
Radio and just let it play for a while. Hear some great
music from Cringing Migraine, get caught up on news and traffic,
and then have hundreds of commercials drone on at you. This is something
that will be constantly updated with new stuff, so listen to Syndicate
Radio often!
Rules of the
Road
In
today's Syndicate Press, Jason
Cross looks at all of the road signs he stumbled upon in a restricted
government facility late last night. They could be rejected from
use on highways and streets, they could be intended for use in the
future, or they could be an elaborate joke at the taxpayers' expense.
Either way, read Rejected
Road Signs and get the inside story!

Drivel Days
Nears the End!
Tomorrow, Syndicate
readers, this site turns two full years old. With that event Drivel
Days ends! Worry not though, because there will be more new stuff
tomorrow and hopefully, if all goes according to plan, a major new
milestone for the site! Don't miss it!
If Everyone's
Obedient, Nobody Disappears
In
today's Guest Columns, the Minister of Propaganda
is back with his second educational article. This time around, learn
all about how the Webmaster of this site is constantly monitoring
visitors for general safety. There's never a moment when his piercing
gaze isn't surveying your domicile! Even learn all about how to
have small, site approved gatherings around the Webmaster's malevolent
stare! Read it all in The Webmaster
is Watching You.
Political
Grunts
Well,
the Reality Syndicate has had a few writers in its time, some more
or less permanent than others. Today, spotlighted in the Syndicate
Press is the only article to ever have been written by
potential Syndicate writer Francis Williams. In his solitary article,
learn how a simple armadillo hunt back in the stone age of man got
to be a major debate that set many precedents! Check it out in Don't
Blame Me, I Didn't Vote for Him.

Drivel Days
Proceeds Onward
The Syndicate
is alive with celebration, and as everybody here parties like crazy,
we provide more and more wonderful material for you, our wonderful
fans. Wonderful. Be on the lookout for a slew of new articles as
Drivel Days continues... Carpe diem!
A Cinematic
Triumph
Brand
new today for your Drivel Days pleasure, Chris Clark presents an
all new film, sequel to the acclaimed Legos
& Chess Flash movie: we are proud to present Legos
& Chess Part II! Take a look here and be wowed by special
effects and even-more-special atmosphere. The specialness is overwhelming!
Find Your
Sympathy Elsewhere!
Memories
of warmer months and hope for a long summer this year remind us
of the surprisingly surly
little watermelon who won the hearts of our readers by complaining
incessantly about his desired position as the official
Spring Mascot. He eventually won a Mascot status, proving true
the old adage: The squeaky wheel gets placed on the front page.

Drivel Days
Doesn't Quit
Today
Drivel Days sees the addition of a new branch of the Syndicate
Press, Letters to the editor. This section will feature letters
written to the Reality Syndicate staff that just tend to rant about
things. We won't dignify these letters with a response, but we'll
certainly illustrate them and post them for the world to see!
Go Talk to
Some Fish!
That's
what you might hear some other superheroes yell at AquaMan from
time to time. Let's face it, the guy's a joke. Well, in the Syndicate
Press's latest letter to the editor, none other than Bruce Wayne
himself writes about his dislike for this quasi-hero. Apparently
the Dark Knight, as well as many other superheroes, find AquaMan
terribly annoying. Read the Letter
from Bruce Wayne to find out why.
Lactose Intolerant
Marsupials
Way
back in the Guest Columns today comes the
first article ever by Animal Expert and psychologist, Yurivich
Gruskenvald. Seriously, the guy barely existed prior to his arrival
here. In his debut article the good doctor took a look at the first
Syndicate Mascot, Dave the Wombat, and why Dave hated cheese with
such passion. Read this article if you've ever wanted to know Why
Wombats Don't Like Cheese.

Drivel Days
Rambles On
Today Drivel
Days continues with yet another brand new article and a classic
from the stone age of the Syndicate. Last year's Drivel Days followed
a similar format, with something of a surprise on the 25th. This
year too will be a sizable unveiling on the 25th, if it's finished
in time. Don't miss it!
Dear Abby
Can Shove Off
Coming
at you after three months of absence in today's Guest
Columns is none other than the beloved Blorflax! In this installment
of his addictive advice column, Blorflax gives tech support on his
patented time distortion device and helps a confused young man find
is way toward membership in the Brotherhood of Them. Read it all
in Dear Blorflax, February
21, 2002.
Halloween
Havoc
Looking
back in the Syndicate Press today
we bring you a classic from before the Syndicate's creation. Syndicate
writer Jason Cross visits Greenville Elementary School for his review
of the charming play, The Magic Pumpkin Patch. If you consider yourself
a connoisseur of the theatre by any means, The
Magic Pumpkin Patch - Low Grade Acting from a Low Grade Class
is a review you'll not want to miss.

Drivel Days
Keeps On Truckin'
Today we'll answer
a question no doubt some of you are asking... Why is it called "Drivel
Days?" Well, when the Syndicate was created it already had
some content, and those articles were from the cult sensation "The
Daily Drivel," Jason Cross's first major site. Now you know,
and knowing is half the battle.
Fire and Brimstone
Who's
that handsome devil there? Why it's the author of today's latest
Syndicate Press article, Alex Owens!
Funny he should be called a devil, as Alex made his Syndicate writing
debut only a few weeks ago with his hit article Wearing
the Horns. As that article drew to a close, Alex found himself
being shackled and carted off to Hell. Now read his amazing account
of what the inferno is actually like in Leveling
Through the Underworld!
For the Last
Time, it's NOT Floorwax!
Remember
this Guest Columnist? Sure you do! Today
we check back with an old friend, none other than Blorflax. He's
three feet tall, was once the overlord of an entire nebula, and
currently serves as the advice columnist for the Reality Syndicate.
He'll have a brand new column later this week as Drivel Days progresses,
but for now, take a look at his humble beginnings in Blorflax's
First article.

Drivel Days,
Day 2
So what exactly
is Drivel Days? Well, the Reality Syndicate was born on February
25th, 2000. Last year around this time we knew we should do something
for the anniversary, so we decided on a week of brand new stuff
every day along with old classic articles being brought back to
the front page once more. As Drivel Days continues, keep checking
back for more updates!
I Need a Hero!
In
today's latest Syndicate Press
article, Chris Clark looks at a new squad devoted to freedom and
truth: The Super Justice People! Made up of three brave crime
fighters all dressed in silly costumes, the Super Justice People
is not a group to be taken lightly. Chris managed to get an interview
with all three in their base of operations as well. Read all about
it in Heroes on Parade.
Rock Around
the Clock
Looking
way back in the Guest Columns today we
bring you a classic from the infancy of the Syndicate. Mr. Fred,
world renowned zombie chef and Syndicate Columnist, had to start
somewhere. That somewhere was here. In his first correspondence
with the Reality Syndicate, Mr. Fred was simply another zombie with
a large undead gorging corporation with an idea to boost nocturnal
efficiency. Read it all in his firs article, Midnight
is Too Late!

DRIVEL DAYS BEGINS!!!
Yes, Drivel
Days is here. Note the festive lights, the lighter attitude
and the new updates! During the next week you'll see something that's
brand spankin' new every day, along with an old classic brought
back into the spotlight.
Spotlight
on Film
With
the increasing amount of updates to the Film
and Radio section of the Syndicate, we decided that the multimedia
portion should finally be a permanent fixture in the spotlight.
So now, along with the two newest Guest Columns and Syndicate Press
articles, the newest Syndicate Film is easy
to find.
Gridiron Gridlock
In
today's latest Syndicate Headline,
take look out to the coast as Charles Anderson reports on a massive
75 car pileup. Normally such a minor accident like this would be
more or less unworthy of being a major article, only our story has
a shocking twist. Tragically, football hero Nick Budman sustained
minor injuries in this pileup, making it an official traumatic event.
Don't miss this Syndicate Headline!
H2O
No!
Looking
back in the Syndicate Press today
we bring you a classic from December of 2000. Jason Cross reports
in this eye-opening article on the true dangers of water! People,
these are the things that bottled water industry big wigs don't
want the public to know. Read Down
With Water, and never look at the substance that composes
70% of your body again!

DRIVEL DAYS!!!
Be prepared,
people. Drivel Days descends
upon the site in only two days! For those of you unsure as to what
the heck Drivel Days is,
it's the wondrous celebration of the birth of the reality Syndicate.
On February 25th, our site turns two whole years old! So, for the
entire week leading up to it, you'll see all kinds of new stuff,
and we'll even pull some old classics back into the spotlight. It's
a party worth missing a life saving operation for. Don't
miss any of it!

Pool of Wisdom
Yes,
we all know and love Alphabilliards, the modification of pool with
twenty six lettered balls. We also all know the joy that a novelty
"Magic H Ball" can bring. So, in order to spread joy (and
only for that reason), today we have a new film in the Film
and Radio Section. If you have questions that need answering,
just Ask the Magic H Ball!

Fresh Faces
in the Internet Biz
If
you're tired of enormous, cold, sterile web design firms draining
your wallet or little inexperienced thirteen year olds beg for a
few bucks to do some HTML, perhaps you should look in on the Syndicate
Press today! Perhaps you may think seven random people, half
of which are certifiably insane and the other half of which are
convicted felons, aren't suitable web designer's to fit your needs,
but you haven't met Sub Par
Web Design!

Be Prepared...
Behind the scenes,
beyond the watchful gaze of the Syndicate reader, a project is brewing
- known only as Syndicate Radio, this strange and interesting
phenomenon has been in the works for several weeks and will no doubt
soon be released upon an unsuspecting public, to serve as a spectre
of evil and destruction, or perhaps just a form of entertainment.
Huzzah!

Anomalous
Materials and Aggressive Fights!
Today
in the Film and Radio section of the Syndicate
we look deep into the Black Mesa Research Facility. Conflicts are
normal in any work place, but how exactly to highly trained government
scientists and security guards settle their differences? Find out
by watching surveillance footage in Black
Mesa Conflict Resolution.
