Glass Half Empty?
by Annie-Wan

Well, it's that time of year again. It's time to remember the history of our great nation, celebrate the upcoming birthday of Christ, and rejoice in the memories of our youth. I will address each of these three items in turn.

Our Great Nation: (Does not apply to Canadians. As much.)
"I celebrated Thanksgiving in an old-fashioned way. I invited everyone in my neighborhood to my house, we had an enormous feast, and then I killed them and took their land."
-- Jon Stewart, GQ, June 1999, 75 Funniest Jokes of All Time, #60.

Christmas: (Does not apply to Jews. Oh wait, it does. Listen.)
I bring you this classic Jon sound:

The Memories of My Youth: (Does not apply to you.)
I had the flu last week. This is a disease I have not had since the age of eleven. I had forgotten about the dizziness that accompanies a fever of 103. Have you seen The Exorcist? Remember when that little girl's head spun round and round, like a record, baby, right 'round 'round 'round? That was me, every time I moved my head. Sneezing was an adventure in torture. No amount of Advil could reduce the jackhammer in the back of my brain. Ah, the memories.

Okay, okay. So the glass might be half empty, but what's left in the glass might be hot cocoa still foamy with melted marshmallows. (Oh wait . . . that's the glass half full principle.) Things could be worse. For instance, there might be no Jon for us to enjoy. ::GASP:: To help you recover from your turkey induced stupor, visit this lovely page full of dancing Jons courtesy of Comedy Central. If the thought of dancing Jons doesn't excite you, perhaps a kissing Jon will. (Yes, there's a kissing Jon. Be sure to Windex your monitor when you're done.) Thanks to Shan for the link:

Keep warm and stay away from the malls. Stay away from me too. Achoo! OOOOOOWW!

Calling All Authors
by Allison

Dear Members,

I wake up every morning and convince myself, "I'm feeling supersonic, give me gin and tonic. You can have it all but how much do you want it?" (Note to those who know the song: nod knowingly and rock on.) Now I ask this question to you: How much do you want it? Yes, that's right. The JSEB works on the support of (here it comes . . . ) members like you. Yes that's right, that's from PBS. Good show.

Now take it to heart! We need member submissions out the wazoo. What will you get in return? Fame, fortune, accolades, and not just from your mom! From the beloved cabinet as well. Beloved cabinet? Did I just say that out loud? Or type it? You know, I've been thinking -- why doesn't the JSEB start it's own third party, and gather up enough nutty followers on our ego-crazed trip to completely destroy the electoral process of the biggest superpower in the world? Oh! Whoops! It's already been done. I'll get you one day, Ralphie, one day . . . .

"So," you ask. "What do I write?" Well . . . anything that is relevant to The Daily Show and/or Jon Stewart. We are the Jon Stewart Estrogen Brigade, so you know . . . "but WHAT do I write?" Well, we prefer not to hear about your experiences with "Jon" one summer at "band camp," or whatnot, but whatever sort of Jon-related . . . "Allison, ANSWER THE QUESTION!!! WHAT do I write?" How am I suppose to know? You're reading this right now and wondering about my credentials are you not? ARE YOU NOT? I hope not -- but if you are, there you go. Anyway, just watch the Daily Show, Big Daddy, or some other Jon vehicle and get inspired. I look forward to your submissions!

JSEB Site Pick
by Krissy

I spent about half an hour flipping through sites on the Jon Stewart Webring faster than men flip through TV stations. One old, dilapidated site after another, some not updated in over a year . . . kind of like those reruns you've seen on the tube 10 or 15 times. Anyhow, to get to the point, I found a site that I had seen a while ago, but it had a fresh new edge. And, shockingly, it had been recently updated. Besides, it has a really cool name. My site pick this time around is, drum roll please . . . Naked Pictures of Jon Stewart . . . Kicking Your Ass at:
http://www.fortunecity.com/bennyhills/reeves/251/main.html

What is so fabulous about this site, you ask? Well, aside from the name, the site has enough to entertain even those most lacking in attention for hours. So swallow your kid's Ritalin, remove yourself from in front of the TV, and glue yourself to your computer screen for an hour or two. Aside from the usual pictures and transcripts, the site has Jon e-cards, as well as a link to creating your own JonStewartKicksAss email address. Also, there's a transcript of a "Delete Me First" Q and A that had me in stitches . . . .

The site also has links to an entire late night guest listing, The Daily Show included, as well as various Jon links. Still looking for something to do after you've read about Jon's various entertainment ventures? Well, there's still the trading forum and a message board. Oh hey, and while you're there, be nice and sign the guestbook.

JSEB Site Updates
by Nikki

Here is a list of everything Nikki fixed on the site. Due to the large amount of things she's been doing recently, she cannot type this message herself because she is suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome. Her helper monkey is typing this. I like bread. Nikki says she thinks that when you see this, you will be looking at it. She said not to type that, stupid. Now she is hitting me.

-- Many of the pictures have been restored. Nikki had saved them to her computer many moons ago. She said not to type many moons ago because it will make me sound retarded.

-- The article section has been revamped. Nikki forgot what exactly she did with those, but she knows it was something.

-- Nikki restored some of the old newsletters. Enjoy what is there. She said not to say that because then I'll have to say to enjoy everything else and then I'll sound more retarded. But if I don't add that everywhere, people will think that they are not to enjoy these things. She says to stop typing everything she says. If any of you have any of the newsletters saved that are not on the site, Nikki would greatly appreciate it if you forwarded them to her refrigerator. Not refrigerator. Email. QUIT IT!!!!! NikkiTDS@aol.com

-- No mom she doesn't want another brownie. STOP IT! Ha ha.

-- The television section list has been updated. If you can think of anything that isn't there, Nikki encourages you to email her and tell her what it is. She will give you punch and pie. What do you mean? We don't have punch and pie. Oh now you're typing what YOU'RE saying, too?!? I'll do whatever I want! Bad monkey! Bad! Bad! Quit it! Do you want me to talk about your --

-- The filmography section has been updated with more information on Committed.

-- There is a new guestbook.

Nikki says she does hope you enjoy everything. If you don't enjoy something, then you will make her sad. Peace! Don't sign it that way, you moron!

[Editor's note: Nikki also recreated graphics, fixed problem html, gathers news items, moderates bouncing members on the mailing list, handles admissions, updates the member directory, and infiltrates the CIA database when necessary.]
