The May/June Muse seems to have been printed unusually early. Let us know when it arrives and what you think of it (careful: may contain spoilers). And don’t forget to craunch the marmoset! (See page 21.)

I never got last months!!!!!
Call the company! If magazines aren’t being delivered, they need to know. 1-800-821-0115.
Yeah. I will. But it’s probably my fault. I think I re-newed my subscrption too late.
Wha, it’s only the 20th. If anyone gets the mag before the 21st, I’m going to be seriously pissed. They’ll know billions more information that I do for like ten days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You guys better not get the mag yet, or you’ll be pied!!!! ARRGGG, i’m a pirate (not)
To bad it includes june, too. That means a meaningless month gone to waste.
ME WANT MUSE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
YOU NO GETTSIES IT
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
*gaspgasp*
Anyway, mine usually arrives 4 days after you put this up. 5 since there’s sunday. You’ve sent it, right?
Hmm.. Judging by the fact that it was my post that started the April one I will proboly get mine today. If so let me go ahead and say

Ha in your face!
okay now off to school
whee I’m already at school. I have a half day, so it’s ok tho.
Blah…
Being at school is really really boring… I suggest a blog of what you can do in school. Other than that, does anybody else but me realize that the only thing people do here is be strange? We should get down to business. (And I know that I am going to get some starnge answers….)
Gradster(1)
lol starnge…
Gradster(1)
not yet!
I got it!!!!!
Just joking. Darn. maybe reverse pychology.
I’ll never get IT!!!!! *looks in mailbox*
darn
i didnt get it yet. i’ll go out to the mailbox now. (im home sick)
i just went to my mail box and GUESS WHAT
my muse didnt come:cry:
i havent had a new muse for almost 2 months now.
i cant…. take it…. much…. longer… *gasp**choke*
*calls local mailman*
Mailman: …hello?
Me: WHY aren’t you delivering my Muse magazine?!
Mailman: It’s three in the morning, miss.
Me: I know. I want my Muse. Right now.
Mailman: I’m sorry, I can’t—*doorbell rings*
*mailman hangs up phone and opens door*
Kokopelli: *pies mailman, steals latest issue of Muse and delivers it ASAP to my house, then runs off to deliver all the other issues superfast to everyone still waiting*
(I wish, lol. Unfortunately I don’t have my latest issue either. I’m hoping it’ll come this week!)
Nancy CPR! *hpb gives nancy cpr* *nancy has a spazm* *I laugh*
*coughcough*
*glares at Ptomlemy*
*faints from Muse withdrawal*
i want it!!
I’d hope so,…, Libro, |:
muse? this early?
not fair!!!!!!!
i may have mine…..
i am in cannneticut w/ my grandparents, so i do not know if i have mine yet!
the suspense is killing me!
YES! Looks like Kokopelli really did lend some speed to the mail – I just got the latest Muse today. Can’t wait to read it!!! Unfortunately I have to finish my homework first. :p
WHAT!!!!!!!!!! HHHHHHOW UNFAIR!!!!!! IT’S ONLY THE 22, WHICH MEANS 9 MORE DAYS TILL MUSE SHOULD EVEN COME!!!!!!!!!1
WELL, I HOPE MINE COMES TOMARROW…
Eccentric! What self-restraint! On a saturday too! I’m amazed…i put off my homework today just to be generally bored and out of the habit of procrastinating! And you have a muse sitting by…and you do your homework. Wow. I salute you. *salutes* You’re a much better scholar than i will ever be for as long as i retain my insanity and habit of doing my math during lunch, five minutes before class. (
yes i do this. Actually, i do my latin hw during latin class. But that’s totally different-that’s pautsch. Ryan, however boring he may be, is not a total idiot)
I do not have my muse. I shall go cry in my little corner now.
*sobs*
Thanks for the compliment, Ebeth! Normally I wouldn’t touch my homework on a Saturday, but unfortunately I was a bad girl and procrastinated for several weeks, so now I have to fill out the entire study guide for Emma this weekend, the long one I was supposed to be working on for three weeks but just now started, lol. If I can make myself wait longer to read Muse I will (I did read one article already though), in honor of the faithful musebloggers who still don’t have one. And if the the mail doesn’t hurry up and deliver to everyone who’s still waiting, tomorrow I’m going to burn the mailmens’ cows! There’s a good reason to move to Kentucky – my Muse magazines usually arrive quickly.
How do you burn a cow? It sounds as if it would take a while. And why do postal workers need cows? Or does everybody in Kentucky have one? What an exotic-sounding place.
:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:
i dont have it yet:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:
[About a thousand smileys zapped, because they’d take too long to load. Sorry, Zoe–some MuseBloggers have dial-up modems. –Robert]
im so depressed
BE HAPPY!!! YOU ARE LUCKY TO GET MUSE, AND TO HAVE SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO EACH MONTH!!! JUST BECAUSE YOU DON’T HAVE IT YET, DOESN’T MEAN YOU SHOULD BE SAD!!! YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY!!! COME ON ALREADY!!! THINK OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE REAL PROBLEMS, AND FORGET ABOUT IT!!! MUSE MAKES YOU HAPPY, NOT SAD!!!
ok violetfire.
robert, i spent 4ever typing those smilies
you will be burned like the mailmans cow if you put my twin brothers birthday on the dates to remember. he is real. im actually not making him up. if i was, i would be saying nice things about him. have to go. i need to check the mail box
whoops its sunday *waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah* *starts to bawl*
26 – Well, actually I’m not sure, but I suppose you’d start by killing the cow and then roasting it over an open fire? Or perhaps you’d turn it into a hamburger and then burn it. (Note: Don’t worry, I don’t advocate cruelty to animals, this is purely speculation.) Most postal workers don’t have cows to burn, but in the agricultural areas of Kentucky you can probably find some mailmen who live on farms and keep a cow or two. There aren’t any cows in my neighborhood, but if you venture into the more rural areas of Kentucky (not that far from where I live) you’ll find plenty of them. Lol, this is the first time I’ve heard KY called exotic, but now that I think about it, I guess it could be!
I GOT IT!!! YAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tho fan sounds amazingly froody.
As for the contest-flourishes? Me? My artistic talent=NADA! Nope.
lol
I didn’t see any of those leetle stories we put up ages ago though! *is sad* Ah well.
Cheese.
BOO!
I’m feeling raaaaaaandom.
Lainkwatchiz rock. Wheeee!

there are 3 hidden letters in there. hpb points to whoever figures out the 3 hidden letters and the word
37- Y is one so is C
I got my muse like, 3 days ago Yessssssss
S, O, and B. They spell sob.
lol jk. Two y’s, one C, didn’t see any others. Would spell Cyy, whatever that means. Did you perhaps mean to put an R in there? Making Cry. Hmm. *ponders*
Please don’t burn my cow
I just got my April Muse. April.
Wonderfull.
Well, I’ll tell you guys when I get my May one in June.
jeez.
26-make that into a thread. Please. How do you burn a cow….
I have built a protective shield around my cow, so you can’t burn it.
yessssssssss!
i got my muse today. did you see that letter from madames brainless who thought all this was nerdy? they probably have the mental capacities of a lump of dung, both of them together! muses, dont change. your doing just fine and those non musers will get their comeuppance when mostly harmless comes to pass!
Do you think they were serious? They could have been teasing. Their letter said something new and different, anyway.
41 – I agree!
Hooray, peoples’ Muses have arrived!
I wonder if my local library has a copy of English as She is Spoke? I’ll have to find out tomorrow. ^.^
I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT! :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: hee hee hee
I just GOT IT!
yay
ok now im off to read it
The hidden letters are: C, B, and 2 Ys. I’m guessing one of the Ys was inintentional? If you scroll over the post with the arrow keys, you can see the wave of sobs undulate for each weird letter.
I GOT IT!!! *bounces around*
FOX23 we got it!
FINISHED IT! But I wasn’t allowed back online until I did my minor scales of d00m. Oh, how I loathe scales.
Anyway, the issue rocked, and Tiffany C. and Laney R. should be pied. *pies them*
I got it, read it, and finished it this Tuesday the 25th. I read it on the way home from the orthodentist as I got my retainers (silly things) as I had gotten my braces off earlier that day.
THAT WAS THE MOST DISGUSTING KOKO & CO IVE EVER READ…
IT WAS TOTALLY SCHWEET! hehe, *takes brain out of lb’s head* wow, he does hav one after all! but its kinda slippery…oops! *drops it on floor* aw, great, now theres dirt on it! oh well… *sticks it back in lb’s head*
this issue will definitely be one of my favourites. i luv linguistics. and tho fan looks kewl.
ok, i doubt “tiffany” and “laney” are for real. the letter was incredibly funny though. + well, if they relly did mean what they wrote- its kind of sad that some ppl think that way. normal ppl dont hav any fun!
HA. NO, NO, PLZ! NOT THE COWS! KILL ME INSTEAD!
lol
soc, syb and soy were hidden but really long posts are annoying. please try to limit them.
I just got it! Hey I noticed something cool on teh inside cover- at the place where it lists all the staff, there’s one word in quotes after each person’s name. All the quoted words put together say “Man invented language to satisfy his deep need to complain- Lily Tomlin”
cool!Sorry if someone’s already posted about this I didnt have time to read up the thread.
Oh, I just checked my old muses- they all have those. ha! I never noticed that.
Woah.
55-that is a very kewl quote but i prefer when they have individual nicknames…like in the spy/forensics issue or in the cereal issue…those are the only 2 examples i can think of off the top of my head.
yay i got it!! That robot story was kinda weird though…
(53) the komic strip reminded me of my science teacher.
This is just kind of weird, but I had showed that one to my little sister. Later, she pretended that someone had called and said I needed to go to the hospital for an operation- like I’s fall for that one. But anyway, I said “I hope it’s not like the one from the comic” and we laughed and my dad had no idea what we were laughing about. It was just halarious.
The “airhead letter” was probably just a prank. Fhat Mimi said about it scared me, though. It basically explains our society -eek.
I found some exerps from “English as She is Spoke” in Wikipedia.
More Dumb Translations:
He go to four feet. – He crawls. / Crawl.
A Is sure the road? – Is the road safe?
He know ride horse. – He knows how to ride a horse.
What o’clock is it? – What time is it?
That not says a word, consent. – He who doesn’t object, consents.
What do him? – What does he do? / What is he doing?
I have mind to vomit. – I feel like vomiting.
I know well who I have to make. – I know very well what I have to do and what my responsibilities are.
nope, not yet…
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!!!!!!!!
i just got mine
i read the letter section first
and…
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!
I can’t BELIEVE you… you… editors…
inserted a letter from a prep
asking for a magazine on
*gasp*
COCO CHANEL?!?!?!?!?
OOOHHH,
preps make me mad
oh so mad.
grrrrr
oops the hidden word was cry. didnt mean to put 2 y’s and no r
those !!@%#%$$#^%$- tiffany and lacey or whatever. im SO mad i wrote muse a letter and sent it before i read the rest of the muse. i read the letters 1st, or 2nd or 3rd. did you read KoKo’s comment? it made me laf
It was quite different.
I think it must be a joke though, cuz if they don’t like nerds than what in middle-earth are they doing reading muse???
(115) I was right! I went there yesterday for Out to Work Day, asked the person I shadowed, and the “golf balls”/”water tanks”/”tanks for something more flammable” are actually radar antennas! *does happy dance*
So… the chump was stumped!
Anyhow, did you know that they INVENTED the concept of radar at NRL just before WWII?
I just finished reading mine! That letter from Tiffany and whatserface was ridiculous. I think it must have been a joke. If they actually thought that they wouldnt have bothered to write, would they?
Plus, we know we are nerds. And we are proud of it. Nerd have way more fun.
I ‘m so happy that they did a language article, though. It was so cool! I thought the craunching the marmoset thing was hilarious. How on earth?
I think we have a new T-shirt idea:
Have you craunched your marmoset today?
i lived the linguistics theme, it was really interesting. the story was kinda weird tho. HOW COULD ANYONE WRITE SUCH CRUEL THINGS ABOUT MUSE/ BE SO HOPLESSLY OBSESSED WITH UNIMPORANT THINGS (social status)?????? that letter was painful to read.
i KNOW, what the DEUS is w/ those little quote thingies? i asked the gapas about them…2 months ago, + they nvr told me!
im scared of marmosets
OMG DID YOU READ THAT IDIOT LETTER WITH THE TWO BRATFACE-HEAD-GIRLS?!?! I WANTED TO SMACK THEM!! I KNOW WHO BOTH THOSE PEOPLE ARE AND I GET ELLEgirl, TeenVogue, Vogue, Bazaar, and Seventeen. But i also read Muse, Cricket, Time, USNews, The Week, and Newsweek. I CANT BELIEVE THOSE NARROW MINDED WRONGLY-LABELING IDIOTS!!!!
>:-(
my goal in life: be the first to post on ANYTHING
IM GOING TO BURN YOUR COWS!!!!!! MWAH HA HA HA HA HAAAA!!!
my mom doesn’t want to play Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly too much because he blows up sheep for extra lives XD
im starting a thread about the idiots
whoa, i never noticed the editor quote thing!! :O cooL!!!!
Hallo emogrl. How are you? Have you been gone for e few days, or have I just not been paying attention?
Please! Could you start a thread about the ever-controversial Tiffany/Laney letter??!

1. we are not nerds
2. preps do not equal evil
3. i am NOT defending them in any way!!
4. yes, i know i sound slightly insane and hypocritical….oh well
ok, about my compiled post of other people’s stuff to try to convince the admin. people [erm…i forgot the abbreviation thing….im new, remember??] to make a thread—i seriously dont think they were joking. not one. bit.
72-Time pwns. Other than Muse of course. XD
i’m still not sure if the letter was a prank. i feel so sorry for those girls… who is coco chanel? i think it’s really good that the letter was printed, if it’s for real…
Coco Chanel is one of those “brand-name” companies that make over-priced purses, makeup, sunglasses, etc. I have a friend who loves such things, that’s how I know.
“Preps” in general aren’t eville. Just brainwashed by society. Maybe pie-ing will wake them up?
But wouldn’t it be really cool if Muse did an article on various companies/brands/whatever such as Coco Chanel? Like, about their factories, how the perfumes/makeups are made, etc.?
It can’t be all bad…
GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
80- I cannot believe that tiffany and whatsherface actually want a muse about Coco Channel and they are such idiots!!!!!! if i only had their emails i would spam them for life!!!!!!!!!! okay well, maybe just hate mail and muse mail telling them to…. ah never mind…
All I have to say to Laney and Tiffany is, I hope you guys were playing some kind of cruel joke.
(If you weren’t, I have one more thing to say: GAYKOKKENOFFENYOM!!! That’s Yiddish for “Go poop in the ocean.” A looser translation is “I’m a nerd, and proud! Nerds rule the world, in case you haven’t noticed.”)
Long live Muse!!!
just CALM DOWN ppl. it was most likely a prank
god, i want to educate you on fashion. all of you.
your being as narrow minded as they are
why can’t someone read Vogue AND Muse and adore both of them?? I DO!!!
it IS possible to be interested in things that most people normally dont like at once.
i love school, i love fashion. i love science, i love shopping. i love reading, i love reality TV. it IS possible!!
the company name is Chanel. Coco Chanel is the founder, long since dead. yes, the thins are expensive, but it is an extremely widely-known label. they sell the label with the product in the price.
“preps” don’t like CHANEL. jeez, get your facts straight. preps are kids who get relatively good grades and wear Polo, J. Crew, Tommy Hilfiger, and brands similar to those.
NOT: abercrombie, hollister, express, H&M, Chanel, or any other not-preppy brand you can dream up.
thank you, this has been a knock-some-sense-into-these-nerds report.
i don’t mean to label you as nerds, i hate being labeled, but by previous messages i’ve read, devoted Muse readers seem proud of their nerdiness. but most you really AREN’T nerds!! that’s the thing!!
anyway, that’s all folks.
*slaps head*
great you all think i’m an arihead idiot and OMG WHY AM I HERE?!?!?! :OOOO
well, that’s not the case.
i am [thriving] in the four extended and accelerated courses offered for my grade: ELA, social studies, Course 1H, and Biology. My average is a 98.67 and i took the SAT’s through the John Hopkins program and got a 1890/2400.
i take Bharatnatyam (south indian classical dance) and i have never had a boyfriend or danced with a boy.
proof enough that i’m NOT an airhead?
and preps aren’t brainwashed by society, brats like Tiffany and Laney are.
i really dont think it was a prank
87-Very edifying, but i’d have to disagree on one point. Preps used to be the good grades and stuff but the meaning of the label has changed somewhat. There’s more of an emphasis on fashion and popularity now. Although they still don’t come near the barbies. Ugh.
Indian dance? That sounds interesting. Froody.
Cheese.
Here’s what I have to say:
1) I am a nerd. Well, I mean, “nerd” to me just means a someone who isn’t super popular, doesn’t always follow the pack of clones that pop culture has created, and is actually interested in something from time to time. To me, it’s not a bad thing (bad thing would be geek), it’s just a word.
2) It’s true that we shouldnt stereotype popular kids/preps as horrible airhead. I know I do it sometimes (see my comment on the April Foolery thread). Jeffica has a good point. (and I would like to apologize to Jeffica because I think my post on the April Foolery thread was a teensy bit harsh).
3) I think the letter was probably a joke. But I still got angry, because I know that there are people who would actually say that in earnest.
4) I was glad the editors published it. Prank or not, it was interesting.
I have mucho time on my hands and an trying to put off my pre-test de español. So, on the stereotypes:
[yesh, I’m being quite…erm…stereotypical, but, here goes. please correct anything you feel is inaccurate]
[yesh, I know I am about to get killed by all of the non-soup cans out there…]
[yesh, extreme generalization]
[but, in a way, it’s helpful, so you can find people with similar interests…]
[*gets killed*]
1. Preps: Originally from College-Prep schools, conservative fashion [think polo shirts, a-line skirts], relatively goode grades, usually have doctors and lawyers for parents, and grow up to be the same. Fashionably concious. This has evolved to include the stupid rich kids who typically wear excessive amounts of makeup, and think only of brand names, and dress like Paris Hilton. A bit confusing, really.
2. Nerds: The smart kids who have no social abilities whatsoever. Consider chess a sport. Are usually completely oblivious to the fact that they are very weird. Not fashion-concious at all. Have at least a bit of knowledge about practically everything. Sometimes incorrectly used to describe Geeks or Dorks. Can sometimes also be Geeks or Dorks.
3. Geeks: Have mad gaming and computer skills. May be beaten up in real life, but their level83 mages could pwn those jocks any day. u$3 1337 0f73.\ d00d!!!!!!11!!!1!1
4. Dorks: Are utterly baffled by society. The original losers. But very nice people.
[that probably didn’t clear anything up. and I’m going to get killed for mentioning this, but you were all thinking it…]
[maybe…]
[oh, well; it’s too late now…]
I’m a nerd. i used to be a dork.
I just got my may/june muse today. Yay slow postal service. And I got a question printed in the Q&A! This is the second thing I’ve had in there without ever “officially” writing to Muse or contacting them. Yay gaboomba/museblog.
lizzi- what was the question?
*runs off to find her muse*
1 kn0w +00 m3nny g33k5. 1+’5 @m@z1ng h0w f@5+ +@1k1ng 1n 1337 c@n d3+3r10r@+3 j00r 8r@1n. 1+’5 qu1+3 5@d. *f3315 r311y 5+00p1d*
Mebbe i should use the 4’s for a’s on here instead. The dear MB seems to think they’re all email addresses…
Anyway, for those who don’t speak 1337, i said
I know too many geeks. It’s amazing how fast talking in leet can deteriorate your brain. It’s quite sad. *feels really stupid*
Fortunately, Musers come equipped with extra brain cells, so the deterioration isn’t as noticeable. Still, you don’t want to push your luck.
