Team Captain Flies To Hong Kong
Second in line, Maureen, is expected to lead people
HOME- Team captain, Howster, will fly to Hong Kong for ambassadorial work for a week. During his absence, second in command of the DRATSS political cabinet, Maureen, is likely to assume acting Chief. Maureen, is known for discretion on the Net and is hardly contactable through the means of the Internet. Rumors have it that the voice of Maureen will be fronted by LittleMissPiggy, who is, ironically, suffering from lip injuries when she ran into a frisbee during a previous training session.

In related news, Jianye aka The Legoman, would be accompanying team captain, Howster, though the purpose of his trip would be less purposeful.

Podcast delayed
Members of the public losing patience with delayed scheduled podcast
HOME- Majority of the DRATSS public are losing their patience over repeated promises of a scheduled podcast. The release of the podcast has been repeatedly rescheduled and no official statement was released to explain the delay.

"I am losing my patience," declares one member of the public.

"I am losing my patience too," declares another.

"I have been riddled by many work commitments that are intangible to the masses." replied Orangspaceman, Chief Administrator, when interviewed on the issue. "It's time consuming to mimic so many voices at one time. The haze is another. I am sure that the podcast will be broadcast soon."

Derek turns one year older coming Friday
Birthday boy plans to celebrate with wife
HOME- Derek will be one more year older coming Friday. He plans to celebrate the happy affair with his wife. However, plans of a possible KTV session with the DRATSS are currently on the table, provided of course, "If my wife is too busy to celebrate with me." quips Derek.

We wish him a very very happy birthday!

DRATSS downs Chuckies 13-10
BISHAN PARK- SPZ's flying interception would have headed to the highlight reel if there were any media coverage for the low profile open scrimmage event. However, the interception well fueled greater motivation for DRATSS as the scores slowed down towards the end of the first half. Plagued by many long finishes, both teams were battling to their wits' end and the half time was finally called at 7-3, with DRATSS leading the game.

Chuckies climbed back fast after the half time, catching up 5-7 merely fifteen minutes since the second half commenced. Twice, the long hucks of the Chuckies found itself home. DRATSS player, Simin exhibited acrobatic defense, clocking in at least four midair interceptions, crumbling the Chuckies attacks.

A huck from DRATSS team captain, Howster, at the 50 yard mark found home as OSM took air and caught the huck, narrowly missing defensive attempts from the Chuckies defender.

Maureen led with 5 catches to her account, followed by Derek who had 3 catches to his account. DRATSS finished 13-10 against Chuckies and will face the Disc Knights in their next match.

Hari Raya BBQ report #1
The freaking bored piggy

The piggy arrived at Green Meadows at 4pm Singapore time, expecting littlemrkevin to be already there, since he announced that he would be free from lunchtime onwards. However, upon arrival, the piggy discovered that the only creatures in Green Meadows are OSM and the Monkey. The only thing the exasperated piggy could say was " i will die talking to idiots!!!~~ "

Suggestion was then made by OSM to contact littlemrkevin so that the piggy could squeeze some kind of entertainment out of making fun of him. After establishing contact with littlemrkevin, he promised to be on his way with drinks to feed the piggy. Ex-joyofmylife informed that he wld be arriving at Green Meadows after an hour's train ride from Kembangan and another half's bus ride from AMK. This is bad news for the trapped piggy who is trying to look for enough kakis to play bridge wif.

The latest piece of devastating news came from the Emperor-cum-teamaker. His edict reads "Hi, Me and Hongcai will come with derek. We'll be late." These bad news renders that the piggy has to entertain herself until non-idiots arrive at Green Meadows. Wish her luck.

Inter-club scrimage report #1
Melvin @ Bishan on Sun, 22 Oct
Yours truly was down at Bishan park today for a piece of the pick-up action. It seems that Muddy Grass pulled a no-show and stood up DK today, so Chuckies split into two teams - one against Shiok and the other against DK.

I was roped in to the Chuckies team against DK and managed to satisfy my disc craving for the weekend (yesterday's game was way too short).

In anycase, those guys really take the scrimage really seriously, so guys, we've got to get serious about next week.

On another note, did you know that Shoik recruited a couple of SMU players like jiamin and justin?

Hari Raya Pick Up?
Melvin is organizing a pick up on Hari Raya morning. Anyone interested please raise your voices on either the chatbox or in the comment box!

Fun Saturday Nite Out!!
Happy Birthday Ben Bananaz
For those who missed our Chill Out Session @ Alley Bar, too bad for you!!

It was a fun-filled day beginning wif the movie Death Note@Plaza Sing, where the Emperor and his yellow book, together with Bananaz turn up LATE, to the dismay of littlemissaly n littlemisspiggy! Nevertheless, Death Note was not at all disappointing, where the suck-thumb candy boy pitted himself against the apple-provider! Let's catch its sequel together k!!!

Dinner was settled @ Shimbashi Soba where littlemissmauie and littlemisshamy(as usual, the latest) joined littlemissaly n littlemisspiggy! Set dinners were ordered n tummies fully filled =)

Asses and full tummies were dragged to Alley Bar and plonked onto the nice soft couch! Mel came n shared the health benefits of beer.. fun fact 1 - Mel's fave beer is wholegarden(not half but whole yeah) and he drinks one a day. How came by later in the evening and we adjourned to Char Siew Yong Tau Foo Hoegarden where the live band entertained us and shortly after live ben and OSM joined us. The usual charades, corny jokes and talks on contractual obligations kept us going til abt 1ish where littlemissaly finally konked out. Party was brought to an end. Til the next time we meet! =)

This is a result of an occasional corny streak on a leisurely Sunday morning; I assure you, it's an original ;)


Q: What do you call the seven players on the field during a pick-up game, before the pull is made?

A: The pick-up line.


Q: How is this pick-up line different from the other pick-up lines that guys use at bars etc.?

A: This is the Ultimate Pick-Up Line!


Q: And finally, how can you be sure that the ultimate pick-up line works?

A: Because usually 2 - 3 girls come running in your direction soon after.

Fixtures for Inter-club scrimmages Announced
Inter-club scrimmages to kick off on 29 October
The official fixtures of the Inter-club scrimmages were announced yesterday afternoon by team captain, Howster. The games will kick off on the 29th October 2006 on familiar grounds of Bishan Park at 3pm. The games will spread over five weekends till the 19th November 2006.

In his email, he expressed that the team "have yet reach our best potential" and more can be done to maintain or even improve the level of play. In the weeks after the Opens, the standard of play lingers on the edge, as hopes to get back to its former prime, with a focus on demonstrating its huge potential, falters again and again. The outcome of this second hurdle is strongly determined by every player's level of commitment and desire for the game, and surely, DRATSS will see good opportunities of keeping the streak alive.

Live reportage of court proceedings of Orangespaceman.

Podcast: 12 Oct 2006: live coverage of Orangespaceman's pre-trial hearing (MP3, filesize: 4mb, Time: 00:03:32)

Voice of DRATSS Silenced
Orangespaceman undergoes trial
SINGAPORE-Chief Administrator, Orangespaceman, will undergo trial in the later part of the week. He is being held responsible for poor standards of writing. The voice of reason for this community has been temporarily silenced due to the impending trial.

More reports covering the trial will be updated.

Chief Administrator Orangespaceman says that he is sorry that his recent mockery of LittleMissPiggy's spelling error had caused her a great deal of discomfort.

In a closed door session last night at the Harry's Bar, Orangespaceman explained that his remarks meant no ill and blames the media for sensationalizing a plain and harmless comment for readership gains. He looks forward to building stronger bilateral ties and never did regard LittleMissPiggy as a rival. "We should work together. It will only result in a better good. I understand now that as a political member, I should really watch what I say. I am indeed really sorry." Orangespaceman said conclusively.

LittleMissPiggy was more than happy that her demand for a blogic apology has been taken seriously. She also feels that working together with the Chief Administrator will only reap more benefits for the community than she can sow. Pun not intended.

Orangespaceman concluded that the last thing he wanted to do, after a week of troubled relations with LittleMissPiggy, was to cause her a great deal of discomfort.

Creature Feature: Be Smitten with Calvin Bok

The 29 year old is not a new face with the DRATSS Ultimate team- always teething in smiles, you can literally equate Calvin with nice. "He has the perpetual sparkle in his eyes that would transport you to a fantasy land." quips a fan. Meeting the man in person, it is no wonder that he would be one of the few people selected to be featured in the October 2006 issue of Nu You.

Hurt Littlemisspiggy Demands Blogic Apology
Threats to boycott blogism
PIG STY- A red-hot(instead of the usual rosy pink hued) littlemisspiggy was seen fuming over the remarks made by Orangespaceman about the non-existent noun 'liberisation'. She made the following remarks in a closed-door freeflow dialogue session with the 3 little pigs.

"How could that spaceman with Primary 2 writing standards critise MY writing. I admit its a spelling error. But HE too has spelling errors (maybe not as serious) but it does exist. Can someone tell him he spelt bLog as bog? I am so on fire now that I might become a suckling pig soon. If he doesn't make a blogic apology for mocking moi, I am boycotting any blogism remotely related to him."

Orangespaceman could not be reached at blog time for comments.

Orangespaceman says LittleMissPiggy writes well but has problems spelling
DRATSS- In the bitter wake of the events that started since the week opened, trouble is still brewing. In an unofficial statement to the press, orangespaceman passed remarks that would probably lead to serious repercussions, experts said. Choking on coffee while at the press interview, orangespaceman pointed to the first entry posted by newly appointed administrator, LittleMissPiggy, and mocked, "Someone please check the dictionary! I am not sure if the word 'liberisation' exists!"

However, later in the afternoon, orangespaceman, released new statements which took on a milder tone, "She can surely write well, but she should really brush up on her spelling. Me supposedly writing like a kid is already embarrassing enough, we don't need another embarrassment in the administration."

LittleMissPiggy currently could not be contacted for comment.

Payoff of Shared Rights
Significant improvement in standard of Blogism

PIG STY- Following efforts to relieve agonized blogizens of Primary 2 composition writing standards, the authorities have noticed a significant improvement in the standard of Blogism on DRATSS-Ultimate.

"This is viewed as a liberisation of the Blogism sector in DRA!", exclaimed an eager blogizen.

The DRATSS council believes that, with the move to share administration rights, although it might not thoroughly weed out Primary 2 writing standards, they have expressed that the move definitely creates a conducive environment “to spruce up the entertainment value of the blog”, quoting Orangespaceman, who is still under trial for producing Blogism of Primary 2 standard. Hearing was adjourned last Saturday due to the impeding rain conditions. Trial continues this Saturday. - BROOMBURP NEWS

DRATSS Chief Administrator To Share Administration Rights
BISHAN PARK- In a response to Saturday's protest for more rights to access to posting on the blog which lasted only three minutes, the Chief Administrator, orangespaceman, has confirmed rumours that indeed, the administrative rights to the blog will no longer be solely dominated by him alone.

"I believe only in efficiency. I do not see displeasure when they stage the protest. In fact, I see an opportunity where both parties can pool their resources together and discuss possible solutions that will improve the site for our blogizens."he stated. "However, I still am defiant of the fact that I write like a primary two student, which of course is baseless and a crude remark that represents the stigma that plagues our society today, belittling the stature and potential of our future leaders, the children."

Maureen, the leader of the three minute protest at the Dog Run Area, remarked that the Chief Administrator, Orangespaceman, "writes like a primary two student."When the news was announced, there was no official statement given by the activist group. Maureen and her group were not contactable for any comment.

"I invite any person or persons who are interested in contributing to the bog content, or feel that they are capable to spruce up the entertainment value of the blog to step forward and ask for administration rights." Orangespaceman added in his statement.

This unprecedented move by the administration drew a thumbs up from the market researchers. "This move is definitely favourable to Orangespaceman in the next elections."

14th October To Be Singapore Opens Post Mortem BBQ Party
UPPER THOMSON- Despite efforts to value the right to exercise democracy, voting of the best date to hold the party via polling has failed. This has in turn led to the enforcement of the party date to 14th October.

"We are utterly dismayed when we learnt that almost 60% of the DRATSS blogizens attributed to no show on the polling engine."a minister of the DRATSS Council said. "But we have no choice, we have to enforce a day so that people can mark on their calendars that this is the date that the party is going to be held and they have to make it at all costs."

Howster, president of the DRATSS Council refused to make any comments except, "Unfortunately, we cannot make that day a public holiday." And when questioned about the possible reasons that contributed to the failure of the polling engine, "The experts are still looking into the matter."

Mssing Cones Update

SENTOSA- New reports have surfaced since the training cones were discovered missing. Shocked players have reported sighting an orangespaceman hovering above the site and then disappearing with the cones.

The authorities are questioning the authenticity of the reports and list the possibility of repossession by the Hui Quan Syndicate despite their efforts to clear the allegations. Ufologists have proposed an alternative explanation which declared that the alleged abduction of the cones was in fact a desperate move by aliens to fit in since the last airing of popular TV series, Alien Nation, which features aliens spotting conical shaped heads. However, investigators believe that that these reports are diversion tactics by hoaxster Kevin Choo, known widely for his bullshit. New indications are pointing investigators to follow up on Kevin Choo's trail.

Use of Subheaders Now Legal
DRATSS Administration Announces Guidelines for Proper Use
DRATSS- In the bid to promote better reading comfort, the DRATSS Administration have finally legalised the use of Subheaders. The new ruling has also come timely as new blog content providers are joining the administration force.

"Subheaders have actually reaped very positive results in the rehabilitation process for M.T.C (Massive Textual Content) addicts." announced the spokesperson of the Subheader Campaign. "We are quite excited." he added.

Subheaders have been abused in the recent years in blogs who underestimate the effects of Subheaders, and now, guidelines are enforced strictly by the Administration to ensure proper and safe usage. "Subheaders must never be larger than their titles." quipped the spokesperson. "They must also be in their designated colour coding, #FF6633, which promotes the cultural preservation program of the DRATSS early administration years set by the DRATSS Heritage Department."

A small number of DRATSS members aired their displeasure by staging a peaceful protest at the Dog Run Area of Bishan Park. They were protesting against the resident author of DRATSS-Ultimate, orangespaceman, for providing content that was amateurish.

"It was as though it was written by a primary two student!" exclaimed activist leader, Maureen. She is not a new face in the frisbee scene and in fact, has been actively contesting for more equal rights for her band of merry female players. However, she was spotted lately with a new hairdo. "It cost $150!" remarked Maureen.

The group are fighting for administrative rights to the blog so they can post "more entertaining and more informative content", so claimed one activist member, who prefers to be known as LittleMissPiggy. "It's so boring!" retorted LittleMissPiggy. But when questioned how she would spruce up the content, she remained silent.

There were others however, who were in favour of the content author, orangespaceman. "I think it's a wonderful site, informative and all. It's really erm..wonderful." said one frequent user who has chosen to remain anonymous.

"I think the people should be thankful that the blog was setup in the first place. People should be appreciative that something like that is provided for them." another supporter said.

The peaceful protest ended merely three minutes it started. When contacted, orangespaceman declined to comment on the issue except that the day of the protest was indeed "a tiring but no doubt a rewarding day".

Missing Cones
Remarkably, on the same day, the cones usually deployed for training were missing. "Who got the cones?"shrugged Howster. Fortunately, help arrived when Yinghui arrived with cones used for his skating training, though they are slightly pint sized to mark the end zone effectively.

"What to do?"shrugs Howster again as he rushed to place the pint sized cones.

"Could be the Hui Quan Syndicate. Frisbees have mysteriously gone missing and reappear again with their names on them since they arrived." a member of DRATSS explained. No concrete evidence negates such a hypothesis but the possibility has been ruled out since "the Hui Quan Syndicate only targets misplaced frisbees" explained the spokesperson of the Hui Quan Syndicate.

Currently, no one has reported sighting the cones since the Sentosa outing and authorities are suspecting foul play. The authorities are urging any witnesses who have any information regarding the missing cones to come forward immediately.
