Hey diddely-oh there campers, Ranger Joe back again to give you some updates for the ol' Mammystone National Park Interpretive Center. But first it saddens Ranger Joe to a) be sick, b) be sick and watching the Cardinals lose in the 9th c) be sick, seeing the Cards lose and have so insanely little actual progress to report (please choose one, show work where required...)

The answer is (b). If you checked answer (b) go ahead and give yerself a big gold star for the day and then look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself what kind of person keeps big gold stars just lying around the house. While it's true that being sick has limited the short story's development and no new music has been done, Ranger Joe has managed a bit of a coup d'état for this month's upcoming Feature. Of course, as you all well know, Ranger Joe gets excited about just about anything that wanders through Mammystone, but this should be a particularly nifty one. Stay tuned.

One person who isn't the subject of Joe-Mammy.com interview (at least, not yet...) is Nine Inch Nails head mucky-muck Trent Reznor. Recently Reznor's site, nin.com went through a makeover including responses by Mr Happy himself to your questions. Ever the optimist, Ranger Joe happily asked the following question (possibly paraphrased as Ranger Joe didn't write it down somewhere else at the time...):
Would you be willing to do an interview for Joe-Mammy.com, or if not, would you at least be willing to tell me who would win in a fight between you and Ricky Martin?

Sadly, no response was to be heard. Undaunted, Ranger Joe has compiled a list of responses to the latter question that would have been deemed "acceptable."
1) I'd beat him like he were Marilyn Manson
2) Violence is not a solution. We need to work through our differences and appreciate our diversity as a nation. That being said, I'd whup him like he stole something.
3) Ricky might win cuz he scratches and pulls hair like a girl
4) I've been in the ring for a lot of years and have seen a lot of young punks trying to make a name for themselves by talking a lot of crap. Now I'm addressing this to Ricky Martin right now [looks into camera intensely] You may have the intercontinental championship belt, Ricky Martin. You may have a couple of low life thugs like Marc Anthony and Enrique Iglesias protecting you in the ring, but when you come to Wrestlemania XXXLMNOP justice will be mine, revenge will be mine. Because, in Wrestlemania your past conquests won't mean anything and your little toadies can't protect you, Ricky. That's right Ricky Martin, I'm calling you into the Steel Cage. There will be no one to help you, no way out. And when I meet you in the Steel Cage you will tremble in fear, for only then, after I've left you broken and bloody, will you realize that none can survive the wrath of... Rez-Nor!

And before I forget, please, no feeding the bears...
