Welcome to the world of Eks once again, Assassin Associates. As
mentioned previously, I received an electronic transmission from one of
the many Associates out there requesting several adobes to be sliced in
an unmerciful fashion. After a brief respite involving much meditation
and geisha girls by the dozen, The Assassin is ready to finally complete
this mission.
The Victim
This first challenge, if one could even call it that without breaking
into gales of laughter, was The
Liberty Bell is Ringing, an abode devoted, apparently, to the ravings
of one "Blade." This character
had much to say, but nothing of anything remotely resembling substance.
It was a testament to insanity. One of the things most curious is
Blade's continual mention of his
mastery of something called "HTML," which is either some sort of internet
highway coding language or the formula for nitroglycerine. One can
only assume it means the latter, because clearly Blade has no knowledge
whatsoever of how to write web abodes. This is demonstrated at both
the beginning and end of the abode.

Two exceedingly long strings of letters and symbols which have no known
meaning to anyone of this planet. It is The Assassin's opinion that
perhaps this is a coded message to extraterrestrial life explaining what
can only be an invasion strategy. It is also possible that it is
just pure ineptitude.
Much of the abode is devoted to Blade explaining his thoughts on very
wide variety of matters such as religion, patriotism, religion, and religion.
To illustrate how wrong premarital sex is, Blade provides the following
internet graphic file:

An arousing and enchanting female performing in a provocative way can
only be there to distract the internet surfer while the torture begins.

The torture, it seems, came from Eks this time however.
Links to other sites on the web
If the surfer is somehow able to wade through the mountains and mountains
of irrelevant nonsense, he is rewarded by the only other thing in the abode.
A list of hyperlinks which claim to offer answers to the many questions
that no doubt plague everyone's mind, such as "how was this baby not aborted
while still a fetus?" However, in keeping with this particular abode's
theme of being completely ridiculous, clicking any or all of the hypertext
links with one's mouse results in the same message appearing.

Eks ended up at a gathering place known as "Earthlink" rather than the
destinations the hyperlinks specified. This may serve to confirm
the hypothesis that this is in some way meant to reach alien life forms
plotting to rule the Earth and its many convenience stores. The only
other explanation is that Blade
has no idea what he's doing and his incompetence has wasted The Assassin's
time.

In either case, the crushing blow was dealt and Eks emerged the victor.

Blade put up virtually no resistance
to my onslaught of bloodshed which is probably due to the fact that he
has paled and withered from his lengthy stay in several of the nation's
top mental illness recovery institutions. This abode is almost remarkable
in its unusual nature. It provides a fascinating look at both how
to communicate with unearthly beings and also the complete and utter deterioration
of a person's brain into ranting lunacy.

With time to kill, Eks decided to use the time to kill.
The Victim
Next on the agenda was "Amber
Mueller's Homepage," an abode which consisted of exactly nothing.
There were a few paragraphs stating things no reasonable person would possibly
want to know, and many moving images of animals which were probably there
to keep your brain active since the words could certainly never do the
trick.

Victory came almost too easy, and left The Assassin wanting more.
There was an area known as The
Guestbook which Eks did not touch, as I know that it gives the Assassin
Associates much pleasure to slice
that for themselves.

There was also a lone hypertext link leading to Amber's sibling's web
abode, which held promise of being superior.
The Victim
This was not the case by any stretch of one's imagination with "Stephanie's
Homepage." In fact, with only minor cosmetic differences, they
were practically the same abode. The one seemed to have more to say,
as it went on at great length about dancing. Dancing is a wonderful
art, Eks must agree. The fluid movement and graceful nature are excellent
tools for training one's body to contort itself into various positions
on the off chance that one day one finds oneself hiding in a small steamer
trunk for three weeks straight while stalking an Eastern European enemy.

This enemy required no such training though. The Assassin again
spared only The
Guestbook which is not saying much since it is the only other thing
in the abode. Slice
it for Eks, oh Assassin Associates, and make me proud or you may find
yourselves...
