The P 'o D

What the readers affectionately called The Pattern of Diagnosis from The Ethereal Gazette: Issue Five (current ISBN: 978-1-944171-38-4) and Dark Gothic Resurrected: Autumn 2007. Written on Thanxgiving weekend 2006 it became the creative nonfiction outing that's one of the most enduring of the creative nonfiction output of the owner of the light blue blog. It's known as the story Something Awful ganked in 2015-2016 as the factions said nothing about the incident -- dismissing it as a prank.

It's the story that got the roster rounding out Issue Five as it's on a place called TheBookPatch and pinterest pinned. The cover artist was an art student as it rivaled Van Gough with the cover art of this. It plays up in Oak Lawn, Illinois where Luke 10:25-37 plays up in front of the namesake's hospital in 2006. The powerful piece clocks in at 5683 words and held its own with a Pulitzer Award winning journalist who became a TOC mate from the era. The story was written after Harry Potter and The Eagle of Truthiness. It's longer than the jesus-is-saviour website founder's screed against Rod Serling.
Those who read The Ethereal Gazette: Issue Five might not realize the story known by readers as The P 'o D also known as the narrative, The Pattern Of Diagnosis. The outing had been discussed on Quora about "what's the most powerful work of literature one's written."

He discusses this both on the site and on youtube on Christmas Eve 2007.

It attributes to two of his friends and a conversation on the phone with his late relatives at the time in 2006. Both publications of the story are in circulation as it was taken further on Wordpress and Tumblr taking the reader further into the story 8 years later. It could been easy something for Unshackled if it didn't have the instrumental use of strong language. The one piece that would piss off Moral Guardians because of the varied use of profanity throughout. He explains in Quora a story like that is not always about the altar call.

rent-a-badge

Don't call College of DuPage Public Safety this because the campus is big enough to require it's own police force. Wheaton College public safety are known as the equal to a mall cop as they have no firearms. College of DuPage Police are often driving in marked police cars as they're fully armed and trained on the Off Campus Center across the building. They don't call College of DuPage the college of law enforcement for nothing. They were teaching them how to handle cybercrime in 1997, and the webmasters were training them how to bust pedophiles aka Perverted Justice .
The Public Safety at College of DuPage will joke with you but what ever you do, don't call them a rent-a-badge because they will nail you for slandering a police officer. Wheaton College on the other hand, call them what you want over the events of the Hijab Affair They have a fully functioning Police Department and often carrying a glock for their sidearm choice. According to Wikipedia Public Safety at College of DuPage are known as Campus Police.

Couch Mummy

Someone who is sick with the flu in Chicago and often sleeping on their back on the long couch usually with a backpacker liner with hood enclosed with their face showing or wrapped from shoulders to toe in fleece. The reaction might inspire a few creative nonfiction writers who got the idea from old photos going around. The blanket often used is a full size fleece blanket or something that is not bulky. This would be forced the one who is sick to stay in bed and keep them out of their room mates quarters. This is sometimes borrowed from first aid for when those had gone into shock and get the chills; or hypothermia. This is common in the Chicagoland area; where some would sleep in their friends Chevy Van if has a bed set up but make sure they're secured or a makeshift bed in the back of a older station wagon. Sometimes knocked out while the driver is going around looking for a fix not knowing the person who is under the weather needs an IV.
Way we saw the lady hosting a party in Justice there was some guests under the weather and chugging theraflu like it was Vodka in a mug then coughing up their lungs, one of the guests was Egyptian wrapped and sleeping on the couch. They stuffed the wrapped body in sleeping bag too and placed her on the couch. She was running a high fever and had doctor making a house call. Hence they coined this a Couch Mummy.

Good News

What's not covered in Chicago, usually when someone isn't bleeding profusely in the ER or critically ill. Usually when they come away unscathed from a car accident and able to walk away from a side swipe on Lake Shore Drive. Other than that it's not covered.

Florida -- it's the front page deal and a regular thing. But they ignore the incident that played up December 2017 and hate when poignant questions are very directed. Both cases are the human interest coverage. They talk about a message of inclusion but inclusion in Chicago is publication with ISBN related to Outreach.
I'm not going to be the bringer of Good News when I say this, but there was an investigation of what played up with Marquardt Middle School class of 1991 alumni and Glenbard North: Class of 1995. This case the term is Chicago's definition where the madman stays in Cook County Jail. That played up Christmas Eve 2018 and almost repeated the horror from Leslie Lane, New Years Eve 1992-1993, Cheryl Huff of Glendale Heights. The events not discussed in An Eye In Shadows but glazed over with The Cabbie Homicide.

Mandy The Scandal Princess

The infamous nickname given to the subject of The Infamy Raines after it was found out she had a connection to Treyvon Martin in 2012, she was fuming over the existence of the said article. The Glenbard East, Class of 1994 graduate became the face of Cancer Snub Scandal, as the nickname was given to her by Miami, Florida, film maker who saw a chilling connection. Another classmate unnamed mentioned a lot more Marquardt Middle School alumni were involved with a scandal equally as shocking as the adult scandal that was coined in the blogosphere.
I'm sure every school had that one like this. The character we call "Mandy The Scandal Princess" what was uncovered she was a forerunner of Encyclopedia Dramatica and it was a total nightmare. Those who want her for a piece, she's in public domain. This was the second time she didn't speak up when something happened.

punchy

A term for having a real attitude, uncensored and tongue-in-cheek aspects. Dorr Baptist Church of Michigan saw this with King James Only Examined on the light blue blog and noticed the tough language this uses; this is the aspect that became known on The House of Pain E-zine alumni as they have a distinct aspect as they're quite fond of this. Holden's Counterpart and The Pattern Of Diagnosis are noted for the extreme nature of this.
Dictionary of Christianese barred the writer of The Pattern Of Diagnosis over his punchy comments; the light blue blog -- his classmates from Glenbard East didn't appreciate the Hogwart's reference as that's the punchy nature that emerged from her. The punchy form is not exactly appreciated in ways because one seen comments about the use of fuck as a Christian writer on Huffington Post had him laughing because of the reference of melting one's ear drums because of the language.

House of Pain E-Zine

If you were a horror author in the mid-1990s into the mid-2000s, you'd find your way on here and featured eventually. Noted for ushering writers who also turned publishers like Mike Philbin (Hertzan Chimera), Kealan Patrick Burke (as he disowns The Clause), Trent Zelazny (as he eventually worked with me on my first magazine's issue, and the third issue) and a host of others.

In 2003 Wraith Knox introduced Nicholas Tillemans who became part of the second Chimeraworld anthology, as some of the roster became part of Tabloid Purposes as some joined in the sequels. It is known as a who's who in the small press as the independent press introduced bizzaro fiction, neo-traditional, Stygian Memoir (the creative nonfiction subgenre that is an offshoot of Gothic Horror and Gonzo Journalism,) alt. history ala 1990s, and horror that became from the post-9/11 world as it was a touchy subject to approach. Being dark about September 11th was a bit taboo.

Noted for invoking a huge fuck you factor for publishing The Fandom Writer from being on FictionPress earlier that year as it was written from returning after attending Goth Convergence in Chicago. Janice Frank in 2004 while she was still alive; defecated on House of Spiders. I taunted, "The more you bastards flame on this one, all you're doing is giving it an even more potent sting."
Fandom Wank: you know that wop we were taking turns on.

mindset: yeah
The other blogtroll: Shit he appeared on House of Pain E-Zine with that notorious story. Was the editor trying to piss us off when she included it?

According to an e-mail they had -- they expressed a mutual hatred for Poppy Z. Brite.

Gruesome Cargo in an interview with him on AuthorsDen said it grabbed her attention and noted to be the most accessible short story on the site. The Fandom Writer and The Ferryman's Wheelchair are both progressively disturbing in their own ways.

All of them: JESUS have you seen the rest of the featured on there, some of them are a collective brood of utter sick fuck fictioneers. Have you seen the story called BUKKAKEWORLD? Two of the writers wrote a novel called BOYFISTGIRLSUCK. There are a few publications circulating around that's pretty damn close to the controversial e-zine as one of them did a very dark incarnation which became known as The Ethereal Gazette: Issue Five noted for introducing two writers from the Edgar Allan Poe fandom and two from fictionpress. It's also noted to have The Pattern Of Diagnosis which has a very haunting echo of David Foster Wallace -- he included this under the encouragement of a Goth model named Tragic Wrath. The interview between him and Hertzan Chimera saw a sabertooth nature where it rivaled The Boondocks with the episode known as BET Sucks.
