Greetings,
Howdy to the new people. Howdy to the old people. Generally, just plain
ol' howdy. Hope all are well as always.
Big news this time around is the beginning of a new fanfic. And there's 
another story by Apache in the pipeline behind that one. But after that,
we're running dry. Send stuff in, eh?
Couple of new sources for BB videos in this one.
Jackie Chan's "Operation Condor" is in theaters. I'd have to give it and
"Contact" both thumbs up. 
The Sci-Fi Weekly site (who's exact URL I don't have handy, but I think
it may be http://www.scifiweekly.com. If it's not, hit the Sci-Fi Channel's
site at http://www.scifi.com and you should be able to find a link) has 
a short snippet from Clancy Brown about his upcoming "Starship Troopers."
I notice Michael Ironside is also in it. That gives it the two main baddies
from the first two "Highlander" films. Coincidence? Well, yeah, probably.
I've made minor structural changes to the WWOnLine site. And with luck
I'll have something pretty nifty to add to it in a few weeks. If I can get it 
finished. I point out to newbies and remind the rest that aside from a few 
pics, it also has a fair amount of info about BB&HKC and links to other 
sites for even more info. 
And if there's anyone who'd like their personal page linked up, just drop
me an email. Doesn't have to be BB related.
And maybe I'll catch you on ICQ or Virtual Places...

Hey Guys!

Just dropping a line tee if anyone else caught the BB reference in "Men In
Black". In one of the mourge scenes, Edgar, while haolding Laurel hostage,
refers to humans as "Monkey Boys". I about crap my pants when I heard it!
Also, on a personal note, I'm starting production on my feature film this
month, wish me luck!!!

Everyone,

       It's not big deal, I just thought I'd inform you, the 'Wherever
you go...' quote actually starts out, 'No matter where you go...' Just
thought I'd let y'all know. No biggy. L8R.

Well I thought maybe I'd drop a note after the seeing the recent 
newsletter asking for fan fic.... I've started a fan fic archive of 
sorts.... but with no submission! I started my own little tale, but 
other than that writers are desperately needed!

Reply-to:	kathe2307@earthlink.net

G'day from the sauna-like wilds of North Florida, Svava O'Mally (BBI
2307) here. I went to see Men in Black this weekend and it was so cool.
Two refrences that I thought were interesting: (1) a reference to some
sort of Corillian technology (Star Wars) and that George Lucas is really
an alien in disguise (2) at one point one alien calls one MiB "monkey
boy". I recently got three t-shirts from Starland and they look great,
one of them is the Banzai Excuse Shirt and I wanted to share some of the
lines from it:	
	Jetcar wouldn't start; 
	Space monsters, my ass; 
	Space monsters spit on me; 
	Battling evil from the 8th dimension;
	Out fighting the World Crime League; 
	I forgot it was yes on one and no on two; 
	Lost my room at the Y;	Forgot my overthruster;
	Got lost in Grovers Mill, N.J.; 
	Couldn't find the watermelon; 
	Couldn't find my Blue Blazer card; 
	Leading a Blue Blaze Strike Team; 
	Busy filling out form for war (the short form); and
	Couldn't get Penny off the phone.  
Oh yeah, I alomost forgot, my sister met a man that is named John Parker
so at least I have someone in Tallahassee to help me fight the masses of
Death Dwarves at my old high school, so know I am finally off to fight
the forces of evil at community college, ugh. If anybody can get to
OzzFest '97 it rocks and is well worth the money. So long my fellow
BBIs.

Just a note, while watching Men In Black (excellent movie) I caught the
?Bug? makes statement to our heros 
Smith and Jones along the lines of, "something......Monkey Boy!"

Just add it to your list of useless information..

From:	Walkm

Hello!
       Haven't posted a message in awhile but I wanted to let those of you
who have contacted me about obtaining copies of the Buckaroo Banzai novel
that I haven't forgotten you.  I'm still constantly seeking out more copies
of our favorite novel for our on-line contingent.  They seem rather difficult
to come by but I'll continue the search.
       In my travels I have come across the original movie on VHS.  I
currently have two copies in my possession which I am willing to sell on a
first-come/first-serve basis.  They are both used but I've reviewed them for
any flaws and they are in excellent shape...apparently former rentals that
were well taken care of and not watched very much.  The original cases are in
tact, although there are videostore stickers on the tape shell itself.  
        If anyone would like to get these from me, I'm not looking to make a
big profit here.  I'm only asking $20 each, and I'll cover all the shipping
and packaging costs.  
Those interested can reach me via email at Walkm@aol.com.

        SideNote:  I work for a financial information company and have
recently been working with Credit Lyonnaise, the folks who own the rights to
Buckaroo Banzai, Blame It On Rio, and other movies.  Should I come across any
updates on the re-release status of the Banzai movie, I'll be sure to post it
here immediately.  
Pretty convenient huh?  

              Cheers!

             Michael

Buckaroo Banzai Fans!

I am willing to accept any reasonable offer for it.

Please e-mail me at jwalker@prairie.lakes.com

"Buckaroo Banzai" and related characters and concepts are copyright 
Credit Layonaise.  The story, on the other hand, is copyright 1997 
by me, that is BBI Red Di ("Chicago Red's second cousin") 
(RedDi@sirius.com), and cannot be re-distributed or archived 
anywhere without askin' her nice first.  This story may contain language 
and action which some may find PG-13; I'll try to keep it at that level.  
Not being entirely familiar with the complete BB Institute background, 
Red Di welcomes any helpful comments about what happened when and where.  
This story is set after the return of Peggy/Penny as documented in 
Ernest Cline's screenplay for "Buckaroo Banzai Against the World Crime 
League", in which Penny is revealed to be Peggy (sorry, hope that 
didn't spoil it for everyone).

Without further adieu, here is : "The Whisper", Part One

-Red Di

"Mrs. Johnson, where are those files on the Chicago Crime League?"  
Buckaroo, having completed his morning meditations and exercises, came 
into the Archives room dressed in his blue suit, red shoes and red 
bow tie.  He seemed hurried and distracted, but not as distracted as 
Mrs. Johnson.

Mrs. Johnson looked up from her computer terminal briefly, as if 
just registering who was addressing her.  She gestured vaguely towards 
the expansive wall of file cabinets that extended the circuit of the 
room.  "Uh, over there."

Buckaroo squinted at her, concerned.  "Hello.  Earth to Mrs. Johnson."

She made eye contact with Buckaroo now, and shook her head as if to 
disperse a mental fog.  "I'm sorry, Buckaroo.  What did you need?"

"The file on the Chicago chapter of the World Crime League.  HB88 just 
got a call from Team Sobri -- Is everything okay?"

She shook her head, a most definite no.  Her usual cheerful smile 
was gone this morning, replaced instead by the sad look that came 
with memories of her now-dead husband.  "Actually, Buckaroo, I was just 
going to call you.  I think we need to call an emergency meeting."

Buckaroo knew that when Mrs. Johnson was this disturbed, something must 
be seriously wrong.  "What's going on?"

"Edmond's files have been accessed through the Internet," she replied bluntly, 
still in shock.

"The deuce, you say!"  Buckaroo's eyes widened; this was indeed bad.  
Edmond Johnson had been one of the greatest architectural and security 
designers in the world at the time of his death, and most of his plans were 
kept in the Institute's computer files.  "But those files were locked.  Only 
you and I had access to them.  No one-"

"I know!" she half-exclaimed.  "That's what's so disturbing.  Somehow, some 
hacker from the outside has managed to tap not just into our main database, 
but our locked files.  And now the architectural plans to the whole place have 
been pilfered through.  The Bunkhouse, the labs, even the damn stables!"  
Her saddened look turned to anger now at the thought.  "My husband was very 
proud of his accomplishment in designing this place as the ultimate in secure.  
Now, any weaknesses in the system that may exist are totally exposed!"

Reflexively, Buckaroo pulled out his com-link.  "Rawhide, come in."

A few seconds later, Rawhide's usual laid back voice came through.  "What's 
happening, chief?"

"I wish I knew.  I need you to spread the word that I want grounds security to 
go on Red Alert.  Call in some of the local Blue Blaze Irregulars.  Get the Kolodny 
Brothers and the Rugsuckers over here in case we need back up.  I want the 
interns at the Institute to be 100% secure.  Tell Pinky Carruthers we need him 
on the front gate.  Absolutely no deliveries today.  Get the teams together for 
a meeting in one hour in the Bunkhouse conference room.  Have Rafterman 
cover Peggy personally.  Got all that?"

"Sure thing, Buckaroo."

"Oh, and Rawhide?"

"Yeah?"  Rawhide's laid-back manner had disappeared, and his voice was 
now filled with poorly-masked apprehension.

"Where are you?"

"Stables, taking care of Thunder.  Why?"

"Just...just watch your back, buddy, okay?  And make sure Hikita-san gets 
cover on his way to the meeting.  That's all."

"Will do.  Rawhide out."

Buckaroo turned back to Mrs. Johnson as he switched off his com-link.  
"Mrs. Johnson, we have a few files to go through before the meeting.  
Grab those files on the Chicago Crime League and a list of everything 
that was accessed through the Internet.  I'll meet you in the conference room."

"Does the Chicago Crime League have something to do with this?" she 
asked, already getting up to get the materials together. 

"I think it might.  Oh, and pull all the info we have on The Whisper.  Get Billy 
Travers to help you with this stuff if you have to."

"No need,"  Mrs. Johnson said determinedly.  "Just give me a few minutes 
and I'll see you there."
