Glorious History

Jackson: Well, I guess it began back in the cold winter months of Anno Domini 2003. Some fool thought it would be nice to create an independent "literary magazine" as he called it, and have people submit their stories.
Kack: This was fully a year before the rest of the high school decided to reinstitute the newspaper-
Jackson: (which failed also)
Kack:--But that doesn't make any difference. Anyway, this fool got some friends and decided to say "Oh, whatever", and started publishing the thing.
Jackson: Called himself "Editor-in-chief", didn't he?
Kack: Yeah. High-and-Mighty Editor-In-Chief Jessie Marcum. Real high-and-mighty.
Jackson. Well, the thing didn't get too far. Oh, yeah, he did get some submissions--
Kack: (Two)
Jackson:--But the problem was, one of those people didn't care if it was edited or not, and the other decided not to have it published.
Kack: "Anonymous", and "Haylee", wasn't it?
Jackson: And somebody named "Oynx".
Kack (laughs): Yes, well, we know how THAT turned out, don't we?
Jackson: Don't butt in, turd. Let me tell the history. Anyway, the thing actually struggled on for four issues. Pour soul blew about two hundred bucks on it.
Kack: (sniffs) Poor old sod, weren't he, Jack?
Jackson: Anyway, it died. Last issue was enormous, though. He had to finish the story he'd been publishing under a pseudonym. Unfortunately, I think everyone knew he was the one publishing it. Not that it made much of a difference.
Kack: So it died. Without much fanfare, I might add. Ah, l'armuere.
Jackson: That's "amor," idiot.
Kack: But now it's back. Armuere is forever.
Jackson: He's an idiot, isn't he? Anyway, we've decided to come up with one more issue.
Kack: A monster.
Jackson: A mondo monster.
Kack: This Jessie has decided to blow a couple more bucks on you sods.
Jackson: So if you want your stories or opinions or whatever stuck on a page labeled "Unorthodox," go right ahead and submit it.
Kack: But don't be a bugger about it. Remember, it's HIS money.
