3KM Comics - For the geek in you.

RISK2210.jpg (18704 bytes)

Why haven't I updated for a week? I've been working on the 3kmcomics.com website. Check it out!


What? Opening day of Lord of the Rings? We're there! Here I am at 3KM Comics enjoying the after-film festivities with some local baby-geeks. Click the picture and try to guess which one I am!

Jon, The Peejinator and I of course bought our tickets a week in advance and squeezed in early to get the good seats. There's nothing worse than sitting right behind a guy in full armor. I mean, a Spanish helmet with plume isn't exactly Lord of the Rings wear, is it? Of course I wore my favorite Star Trek outfit, so who am I to judge? Jon and I are also known to wear the occasional sombrero for those special south of the border flicks.

Pass the chilies, amigo! It's hot in here!


What ever became of.. 

The Heart Steel Girl Project?

Jason (Jaysin)

Some long-time Steel Girl readers may remember my mention of The Heart Steel Girl Project back in the Carotene Experiment days. Basically, a fourteen (maybe fifteen) year old boy was inspired by my little project to perform his own experiment like many other avid Steel Girl fans... only different. Here's the letter I received from young the Jason of Fairview Heights, IL.

I've been getting hit by cars for about 6 months now. Anytime one of my 
friends wants to hit me, I let them. The best I ever did was getting 
hit by 
an old Volvo at around 35 mph. It was great. So, I'm going to get hit 
by the 
same car over and over increasing the speed slightly and observing the 
wounds. Photos will be at www.indiko.com/neon/heartsteelgirl
-Jason

 I was a little bit worried, but I figured I couldn't stop him. I checked the page every day for updates, and emailed him a few times, but I never got a response. I hope he isn't dead.

Anyway, witness my unwitting power over the young in The Heart Steel Girl Project. What am I, Kurt Kobain?

Red Alert PMS Reminder

...mood swings got you down?

I have an idea for a script and I need some help writing it. If you'd like to teach me how to write this script idea, or if you can just do it for me in return for traffic, please email me or AIM me. Here's the basic idea..

Red Alert PMS Reminder will send a monthly reminder email to the PMSee (or her loved ones) when The Red Dragon is on it's way.

The user will enter her (his) information on a simple form on my page. 

EXAMPLE: 

PMSee's Name: Suzie Q
Your Name: Joe Mom 
Your Email: suzie@suzieq.com 
Starting date of last period: 12/01/01 


PMS starts two or three days before actual menstruation, so the first reminder would arrive on 12/24/01 to let the recipient know that PMS is imminent. A reminder will be sent out every twenty-eight days after that until the user modifies his information or asks to be unsubscribed. 

Great for boyfriends too!

Email - AIM

Useful Site of the Now

It's your one stop music gear search engine, brought to you by our good friends at Mused and The Pickled Network. This is a must see for every musician.


Artists Online

Sure, we're all about the Steel Girls, but there are countless artists on the web who don't quite fit into this category, but who are equally talented. Check these sites out, and go ahead - email them and tell them how talented they are.

Visual Artists

Digital Girl

Actually, she's known as Devotchka, but I call her Digital Girl, in reference to her fine work. Check out her digitally altered Bettie Page Gallery.

 

Eye Candy Tattoos

Here's a teaser of what some of their super radical work looks like. Their site is one of the most professional that I've seen in awhile as well. Way nicer than this one anyway.

Jacob's Art Gallery

Jacob is an old friend of mine. A true artist, he's created some of the most amazing pieces I've seen, and back in the day, I was lucky enough to be the subject of a few.

 

Musicians

Hate The Mainstream

That's right. The man who brought you the controversial website, Hate The Mainstream, also has MP3's that will rock your Mmm Bop world. Check out Running on Glass. It's yummy.

Apparently, women are not the only ones that are abused in the home. Every day there are countless men who are persecuted for beating their wives, girlfriends and children. Oh, the shame of The Justice System. Some men are even kept away from their own children for crimes as small and meaningless as sexual abuse. Guys, don't become a victim of the Women's Rights Movement. Get some support at this site.


Steel Girl: Merciless Retard Basher or Stupid Dork-face? You decide.

Dustin Murdock, everybody!

Steelgirl HQ has been bustling with bodies this month while our friends from Nashville, Angela and Derrick are visiting. We are enjoying their company so much that we decided to take them to the newest Chinesey restaurant in town. Thus begins my story.

Jon, Angela Derrick and I walked for the first time into a The Red Dragon about a week ago.

"Classy joint", I thought to myself as I noticed the indoor koi pond and traditional old school Chinesey music. It definitely had allure. Best of all, we held one of only two occupied tables since it wasn't exactly dinner-rush time. Ah, privacy.

We ordered some noodles and whatnot, and I started to become annoyed at the guy in the booth a few slots down from us who was talking and laughing rather loudly with his mouth full and pretty much having a great time. This normally wouldn't bother me too much, but maybe I was a bit aggro that day(PMS).

I peeked around the corner, and sure enough there was a leg adorned in wrangler jeans and a cowboy boot sticking into the aisle. I thought, "I've waited on too many of these loud, no tipping, confederate flag having, white trash rednecks in my time. Only in Central Oregon can you go into a nice restaurant and experience this crap."

So I said it - not loudly enough so that he could hear me and beat the noodles out of me, but I said it.

"I talk with my mouth full because I'm retarded. Errrrrr."

Everyone at my table just kind of looked down, and I apologized, explaining my view on the situation and my former experiences with said hillbillies who have no manners.

A few minutes later I started to realize, after listening a little bit more carefully, that this man was actually retarded.

I shrank in my seat and kept quiet for the rest of the dinner. I felt like such a jerkface.

And then, God intervened.

We were almost finished when the man who I had just called the R word(who turned out to be about 15 years old) walked over, stopped at our table, looked right at me, and said, "God bless you, Friend!". He didn't look at anyone else. Just me. He went on to explain how pretty he thought I was, what great style I have, how cool my t-shirt was, and how he'd just gone to church. After he got done telling me how much he enjoyed church, he blessed me again and went on his way. I'm pretty sure that God was laughing.

I'm now known as The Tard Basher.


On that note I end today's update. Tell me how mean I am. I deserve it.

I am bored and steelgirl is in need of an update, (Jon). so.....

We are on pins and needles around here waiting to find out if Ripley’s TV show is going to pick up Jason and the Body Art Dare Devils as an episode of their show this season. Keep your fingers crossed we could use another trip around here in a bad way. We find out next Friday for sure! In other steelgirl news, we had three orders last week! "Wow best week ever!" (Said in the tone of the comic book guy from the Simpson’s). If you are one of the lucky kids who has loot heading to your doorstep, please be patient. It seems the local post office has had its share of ANTHRAX  scares and is very slow right now. Keep in mind if you send in a picture of you and your order happy or sad you get free shipping on your next order and ever lasting fame on steelgirl.com! Just like this fine gentleman below.

steelgirl T-shirt + guns = FUN!

Kim in her new prom dress ready to get sucked.

Do you ever get the urge to make an appointment with a door-to-door vacuum salesman and dress up in a pretty pink prom dress? Well Kim does. This poor guy had no idea what was in store for him. He was trying to sell us a $2,000 air filtration/vacuum system, and all Kim wanted to do was to get into a large plastic bag and get all the air sucked out of it. Oh, what fun.

kim getting sucked

We felt a little bad after the hour long sales pitch was over, and we had to say, "No, sorry dude, we can't even afford car insurance let alone a $2,000 vacuum." Sad, but it was a reason to get up early on a Saturday.

In other news, we have been getting a few orders lately and have filled them all with the exeption of a few "Bathe, Hippy" shirts. We have to print a few more, so if you are waiting for one, please be patient as they should be done this week. In addition, to all of you who are receiving our fine products, please post your thoughts and/or pictures in one of our forums. Please, that is what we put them up for in the first place. Okay?

Lets dip into kim's mail bag this week ok kids?

Hi Kim! I love your website, very entertaining. I thought I would ask you a few questions though: #1.On average, how many e-mails do you get every week from geeky, pathetic, internet fanboys asking you to marry them? #2.Will you marry me? Don't worry my dear, I've thought this through: If you will make me a pair of black leather gauntlets with 1" spikes, I will at once move to Norway to start a Black Metal band. Then, after aproximately 5 1/2 years, 3.5 million kroners in profits (significantly less in US dollars), a smattering of church burnings, 18 months of prison time served, a series of ritual murders that the peasant folk are too terrified to even hint about in hushed whispers, and a complete return of the Scandinavian countries to Paganism, we can run off together and have a romantic sunset wedding in the Bahamas, after which you can steal all my money and leave me a broken shell of a man, whose only consolation is that IN YOUR ARMS, FOR ONE BLISSFUL MOMENT HE KNEW HEAVEN THROUGH THE LOVE OF THE SWEETEST, MOST BEAUTIFUL ANGEL, NAY... GODESS, WHO EVER DEIGNED TO BATHE THIS COLD, CRUEL WORLD IN THE WARM GLOW OF HER SUBLIME, MERCIFUL AND LIFE-REDEEMING PRESCENCE. Or, if you have plans, you can just send me those gauntlets. In other news, my princess, I am a creepy delusional fiend, but in other, MUCH LESS OBVIOUS, news, I have discovered that you have a long lost twin! Either that or you're the result of a government experiment in genetic engineering, kind of like Dark Angel, but don't get me wrong I'm not claiming to have ever seen that "show," nor would I ever wager to guess that Jessica Alba (whoever she may be) is even one-tenth as pretty AND talented in metal working as you are. I have however constructed and attached a diagram to prove my former point and I should caution you to make sure you're sitting down before you read it.

super kim?

In closing: GOD BLESS AMERICA. AND KIM! Your potentially dangerous fan, Aleph Omega

that is much funnier than anyone here can come-up with. all custom orders considered just e mail us

BIG news from the Steelgirl camp kids! Kim met the rocket guy (not to be confused with “the rocket man”) while volunteering at the Red Cross last week and we hope to parlay that into a trip out to see “the rocket” near our hometown of bend, Oregon. Well this is at least big news to the geeks at 3rd millennium comics. PJ and I have been following this for sometime now, and with any luck, we hope to tag along with Miss Kim if she gets a chance to go out and take a closer look at history in the making. In other news we owe a long over due plug to the maker of a great card game called “Battle of the bands” it’s great fun and we love non-collectable card games here at 3km. Go to the site and buy one now! It is the most fun you can have for 5 bucks nowadays. I would also like to add that in no way do I like having to update this site so please send all “I hate Jon, were is Kim?” e mail to Kim ok? Maybe she will get back on track.

Contrary to popular belief Steelgirl is far from dead. We have just been super busy as of late. I will not bore the masses with details, Up-coming from SG: expect a couple more steel girls, a wonderful new t-shirt design, A more active effort to sell on Ebay. The latest project of covering our ceiling with free AOL CDs is near completion so expect some photos of Steelgirl HQ in the near future. As always, we rely on people to submit new Artists to the site. So take a second to look around your community and tell us about the ladies you see working with metal. Thanks for taking the time to stop by Steelgirl We hope you get a smile or two from at least one of our projects. ~jon/Kim~  please support our #1 supporter MUSED! Go take a look!
