LUPITA:THE GOLDEN PRINCESS: PART FIVE
By Steve Baxley
(Based on the Telemundo mini series from De Mananita)

As day rose, the toll on both sides in the tribal war was huge, 176 Zulosizi tribesmen had died, 156 of the Uzgazisio
tribesmen and,120 of the Uzbaniga tribe also perished, but 124 Zulosizi's were captured and their weapons had
been confiscated.
But that was of no confort to Maria who saw her cousin Lupita kidnapped by the evil "King Fulkisz" of the brainwashed
Zulosizi tribe, The princes' wife looked at her , the tears were rolling down her cheeks,"its my fault, if I only stopped
her in time, none of this wouldve happened" Maria said. Betty,The Princes' wife took her into her arms in comfort and
said,"hush my friend,do not believe that, they will get to her, Stefan loves her very much and would do anything to
protect her, as would your rene, and my George, we must be thankful that we have such men in our hearts,now dry
those tears, and come, we must tend to the wounded.'

Meanwhile, the humvee carrying the king, the prince, along with stefan and rene continued on the hunt for the camp
of the Zulosizi tribe, following the tracks of the jeep that carried off Stefans wife Lupita, the treasure, and the golden
princess, all this has angered the spirit of the volcano. "We must continue the search, my lupita is in danger" Stefan
said, just then the humvee stopped.."listen" said the prince, "Stefan, I think the calvary has come to our rescue" as
the sounds of helicopters came down and inside them were marines and army combat units,and a very beautiful
brunette. Stefan and Rene's eyes popped out, "WHO??" they both said, The prince said "Stefan, you have your ace..
THIS IS OURS, Meet Svetlana, the former girlfriend of Donald's ..seems she had a secret crush on Donald and still
holds a torch for him" Stefan and Rene nodded approval while the king looked concerned," My son, i fear that
we must move on the night draws near, and we have no way of moving at night" the king said.
"SIR, as a part of the treaty from both our countries, we are here to help you in all ways possible" the captain of
the guards said, "Plus we can aid and assist your security force with our fire power and nightscope tecnology"

"Lets go then, we got a nation and a people to save, Sargent, you take a medical team and the night hawks back
to the Uzgazisio camp and help them out with medical aid and protection, we'll take the 2 wave and Svetlana with
us" the prince ordered.

The group continued towards the tribal land of the Zulosizi's, a mile into the incampment the convoy stopped, "why
did we stop?" said Rene, The King looked and said " We got trouble,look at this" and through nightscope binocs
stefan and rene saw what was concerning the king, a big 7 foot 500 pound guard was protecting a cave filled with
the stolen loot, it was high atop a hill on the other side, but surrounding it was a pit filled with poisonous cobras,
and viper snakes, and inside was Lupita tied up and scared. "Donald isnt waiting for the sun to rise, he wants the
whole island..but who is that with him??" the prince asked, Stefan looked through the "nocs" and saw a familiar site,
"oh my god..it cant be!!", Rene took a look " dear god no...!" rene said in shock, "Do you know this interloper?" the
prince said, stefan took a breathe and refocused his "nocs" "Yes we know him,ROCKO SANDOVAL!,but how'd he
get loose from prison??", the prince said , "If he's the same Rocko that we've heard about, we are in real danger
now more than ever"


NEXT WEEK: Lupita in danger,an enemy returns,and a dangerous confrontation

LUPITA:THE GOLDEN PRINCESS-PART FOUR
By Steve Baxley
(Based on the Telemundo Mini Series from De Mananita)

As night fell, Lupita and Stefan made love in their guarded bungalow in the hotel zulas outside the tribal city,while the entire tour group were put under 24 hour guard, the entire tribal land was in a state of alert for the possible signs of attack from "King Fulkisz" of the once friendly Zulosizi Tribe,he was actually former schoolmate Donald the cousin of the prince who was VERY angry at his cousin for being named Prince of their home island.

The day broke, and under high guard, the tour continued through the tribal land, they saw a live volcano, the prince told the party " This is the Gazoazwi volcano, tribal legend says that this volcano has not been active for 50 years, during that time all tribal lords and their people have lived in happiness and joy and in the belief in all religions, legend also says that the only time the volcano awakens is when evil comes and takes over', as the tour group pass by a slight rumble is heard from the volcano.

"whoa, looks like Mt. Gazy is telling us something", Rene Said as Maria clutched onto him,the tour group also felt the tremor, Stefan kept a hold on Lupita "nothing will happen while I am here my love" Stefan said. the tour continued till they returned to the tribal home of the king, "My friends, it is time for the great feast" let us now shake our groove thang! the king said,smiling. As the great feast continued, the group danced and had a great time, lupita and stefan danced close together, then as the final firework exploded, a spear came from a hidden glen and hit one of the light stands and shots were fired.
"WE ARE UNDER ATTACK" the king said, "TAKE OUR FRIENDS TO THE SAFETY OF THE UNDERGROUND CAVES" and with that a panic insued as the volcano began to rumble louder, the Group began to panic more , as the guards tried to control the scene,with their guns drawn shooting up in the air , one of the bullets struck the group was stunned ..it was a member of the zulosizi tribe, "It begins!, Take our guests to the cave NOW!" said a concerned prince, Stefan held tightly to his beloved Lupita as she limped, her ankle still tender from the fall she took, "Would you like for me to carry you my love?"
Stefan said concerned, Lupita looked at her love and spoke, "if it would please you , then yes!" and Stefan carried Lupita to the princes car.

Just then explosions came and there astride a hummer was Donald,"PREPARE TO BE TAKEN OVER,NOTHING CAN STOP ME!" he motioned for the brianwashed zulosizi tribe, "ATTACK !!" and the battle was on, "KAZAAAZSA!" the King said and both his tribe and a neighboring tribe together, while the princes secutrity gurads finally took the group to safety, Maria looked at Rene and said "where is cousin Lupita and stefan"? ,Rene looked and there they were coming to the cave, "we're ok guys" .

The battle raged on into the night, the prince went to Stefan and Rene, "Guys,they have been trained well,they are no match for our weapons, not with the arsenal we have, can you help",Stefan looked at the prince and said, Count on me" Rene nodded and said "Lets take him down" and with that stefan and rene kissed their wives and went to battle , but first stefan used his cell phone, "What are you doing?" the prince asked, "Stefan looked at his friend 'lets just say,im calling for take out" lets go! and he took one look at Lupita and gave her a kiss. "You all stay here , let NO ONE come in ..UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES"

Stefan and Rene departed with the prince to join the battle, 1 hour later as the war continued,an unmaked jeep came to the cave, "is there a person named Lupita in there,if so I have to take her to the hospital , her husband stefan has been hit by a poision dart and is being rushed to the hospital, he calls for her " said the mysterios man, Lupita was hysterical , "I'm here, take me to my beloved!!, is he ok??!, she began to walk out,maria tried to stop her, but she ignored her pleas.

As she entered the jeep , Stefan aproached , "LUPITA" !! NOOOO!!" he screamed ,as the jeep sped off , she looked to see her beloved run to catch up to it, his shouts drowned out by maniacal laughter from the front seat as she was being gagged by the guard, "HEHEHE, I now have what will make me the most powerful man in the world" the man spoke then turned around to face Lupita, "Hello princess! my you are as lovely as I imagined..you will make a good wife LUPITA!!" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH" it was Donald , as the jeep went off, Stefan took off after them in the princes jeep,
"NO STEFAN!, she is gone" the prince said, "DAMNIT!" is there anything we can do.."Stefan said beating his fist on the hood.
"Yes, there is,but first we must tend to our wounded," " the king said, as the smoke cleared, the wounded tribes fought vallantly. and while the cave was protected, the zulosizi tribe ran off with the golden princess and most of the treasure.
A note was found on one of the spears "We have the Princess, and the gold, the woman called Lupita will be wed to me by the third night, ANY try to rescue her and she will be taken to "the mighty one"". stefan read, "Who is the mighty one ?" rene said .. the prince looked and said "The mighty one, is that which must be appeased .." "you dont mean.." Stefan said, "THE VOLCANO??"

"Yes, but we have something they dont have...a way to get her back,we go now" the king said, "Go where ?" stefan said looking at his friend the prince, " Stefan, Rene, we must go to where they have her, for we have only 24 hours to rescue her,before she dies"


As the tour group returned , Stefan,rene, maria and the prince with his dad the king took off into the darkness, in search of the camp of the zulosizi tribe..and the one person who can end the bloodshed.


Next week, an old nemisis returns and the battle for Lupita takes a dangerous turn

FROM THE MIND OF STEVE BAXLEY
By Steve Baxley
(As told to his love Pita while she was being massaged by Steve )

-Welcome to the new look of blogger.com,not bad..rather easy to fit in and enjoy..

-Strom thurmond passed away last night at age 100,although you didnt like some of his stands,you must admit, he was
A legend! of course a womanizing legend nonetheless

- Well this was to be the eve of my trek to Florida,but due to circumstances beyond my control, its been moved to August
which I find to be much more better in the long run

-Well, it looks like the radio show will make it to air, now if only I can get Doug and Paul on the same page..after all
technically it would be Pauls and SPDs to Produce.

-And I dont know if Dougs aware of this or not,but and it is confirmed Mancow did exactly the same thing as Doug wants
to do to publicize the show, in the early 80's Mancow "married" turd, so there doug, and im officially saying it ..NO, not
only does my mom say it,my relatives say it, and so does several jocks i know, and my lady love as well.Now my co-ho
has called me and once again bitched about "the comedy in it" so let me settle this once and for all.
to quote Johnathon brandmier, these are my last words..IM NOT DOING IT!
And why am I not doing it..
a-Its been done to death by Mancow in the 80's
b-Its been done by Vince mcMahon's Wrestling company
c-Its against my respect for all people
d-its an insult to my cousin crystal
e-I love Pita,and NOTHING will ruin it
Sorry doug, under my rules, if its been a wrestling bit,and a MANCOW bit, then I dont do it, im not risking my relationship
for a stunt thats been done to death.


-the next chapter in Lupita is tonight-

FROM THE MIND OF STEVE BAXLEY
By Steve Baxley
(As told to Pita Ojeda at a fine lunch)

-Lets update the Updateable before going into our ususal two fisted raves

-Like the shuttle takeoff..."Operation Florida" has been postponed, and logically I must agree, see in the week we were to have gone, I would only have but 10 minutes to do actually anything myself, so in essence not much but a drive by hi to fla..now in August, i would have two to three weeks to do what I want and spend time wooing Pita. thus AUGUST will be our "OPERATION FLA" but watch tomorrow as my surprize becomes known to Pita, 9-10am eastern on Telemundo.

-Now as for the now majority ruled Veto of my broadcast partner's Publicty stunt, I went behind his back to some legendary jocks and e-mailed them about Dougs Idea, now Doug blasted me for an idea I had for the "Weekend Lap Dance" saying it was too STERNlike..well guess what Doug, I had my NBC source check into somethings for me when he was in chicago..
and here is his findings...
First off Howard NEVER did the live lap dance idea, that is an original idea I cooked up for if we got the MTRN gig, but see heres the kicker, your idea IS A RIP OFF OF MANCOWS!!
Thats right , Erich Meuller (a devout ENEMY of our mentor Steve Dahl) did the EXACT SAME STUNT!! so Doug, i suggest to you, is to listen to Steve Dahl more.

Now my idea was to have a live caller at a deja vu get a lap dance and we would not only talk to the caller but to the dancer,and if the dance got the caller to say the secret word, he'd win a prize.

Now our show would basically be like our WXUT show, except more formatted
-more calls
-live guests
-live preview of 11pm news from 11,24 or 13
-live local talent spotlight
-sports report
-top and bottom news with Paul
-and a live preview of Coast to Coast AM
a full 3 hour show
nothing wrong with that

Now due to my oversight,i didnt get the next chapter of "Lupita:The golden Princess" ready..later tonight it will be done


-My mothers knee surgery, the reason for the postponement of trip, will be in July, i am her coach and with that is a mighty big responsibility that i will have to foresee. from exercize to obvious more attention, she will be down for 2-3 weeks

-No Wimbledon contest this year, simple reason is I forgot and have other things on my mind that have warrented my full attention

JUST ANOTHER MANIC SUNDAY
By Steve Baxley

-We are now 5 days from vacation,and everything is still a go!, lets hope it remains such

-My radio partner went OVER the line of tatse yesterday, as you know we are hoping to get the 10p-1a slot on WSPD , well to promote it Ive been doing my own version of publicity, well yesterday my buddy decided to shall we say, not just go off the cliff,
but do it with no net..
He wanted to have a gay wedding as a publicity stunt,our producer Paul and I VETOED the idea, Doug thinks it would be funny to have him and I "marry", ..I dont see the comedy in it, it would in my eyes be a slap in the face of my cousin and all people of sexual preferences whom I respect.
He continues to push the subject and we continue to stand by the VETO!, not a good idea doug, and Im not alone in saying that.
there is NO COMEDY to be found in it!

-Well Ive got my special poem for Pita almost done, and my pals at ISIS will be notified of it this week as we draw close to departure time.

-Well folks, this week as you know marks the countdown to Florida, as I will be away from the computer for a week, the cafe will be closed up during vacation, but fear not, im going to take my tape player and record my thoughts on it then when I return, ill have
a full throttle on how the trek went. and if EVERYTHING was a success.

more tomorrow

SPECIAL REPORT
Courtsey of "THE GUARDIAN" -London,England

The station masters

Relaxation of radio ownership laws means that foreign companies will soon be able to control more British stations. One of those likely to be bidding is Clear Channel - which some say is responsible for the decline of radio in the US. Should we be worried?

David Teather
Monday June 16, 2003
The Guardian

The singer Tom Petty claimed he was banned from many US radio stations at the end of last year for a somewhat unusual reason. It wasn't because of the salaciousness of his latest lyrics, an incitement to hatred or violence, or even an unpatriotic slighting of President Bush. It was - in a "you couldn't make it up" kind of way - because he wrote a song critical of how dull American radio had become. The song had lamented the passing of "the last DJ/who plays what he wants to play/who says what he wants to say".

In an interview published in Rolling Stone, he was defiant: "I don't really give a flying fuck about any of it. I've tuned out. But I was elated when my song was banned . . . It's fascinating, you know. Like, what are you afraid of? No record has ever been made that was more pro-radio. I remember when radio meant something."

Laments for the death of American radio have become increasingly loud, and are heard more frequently than new music in many US cities where stations still think that Bruce Springsteen and Pat Benatar rule. The New York Times last week carried an editorial complaining that anonymous corporations and the rapacious demands of Wall Street for ever higher profits had sapped the life from radio, leaving a withered corpse that is "bland, repetitive and laden with ads and promotions".

The poster child for the criticism levelled against those in charge of radio is Clear Channel, a company still relatively unknown in Britain despite being the biggest player in outdoor advertising with the Adshell and More O'Ferrall brands. It also owns many famous venues such as the Carling Apollo in Hammersmith and a smattering of radio stations, including 50% of the Ministry of Sound station. Its management group, SFX, represents 700 or so celebrities including David Beckham.

But in America, the name is well known, and often held solely responsible for the cultural malaise that has choked the airwaves. The company, with 1,200 radio stations - around 10% of the market - is five times bigger than its nearest competitor. It is also the biggest venue operator, a concert promoter for the likes of Madonna and U2, and the largest outdoor poster site owner. The business model is that the company can keep revenues within the family and cross-promote heavily.

Mutterings of bully-boy tactics by Clear Channel have sent shivers down musicians' spines. "If you don't want your artist to be promoted by them, then you might find it difficult to get airplay," says Peter Jenner, the former Pink Floyd manager who now looks after Billy Bragg. "Similarly, if they are promoting your artist, then they want you to use their venues. Otherwise, what's the point of them being in the same company? And it is such a big company that is very hard to avoid."

Rocker Don Henley testified before Congress that artists are "shackled by the anticompetitive practices of the conglomerates", and Clear Channel is being sued by a Denver concert promoter called Nobody in Particular, which alleges that Clear Channel threatened to pull its artists from its stations - allegations that the company denies.

When a diverse range of advocacy groups, from the National Rifle Association to the Writers' Guild, wanted to demonstrate against the recent relaxation of media laws in the US, it wasn't News Corporation offices they chose to protest outside, but those of Clear Channel.

After all, it was Clear Channel that, some have claimed, ordered its radio stations to stop playing the Dixie Chicks after singer Natalie Maines said she was ashamed to come from Texas, the same state as President Bush. And was it not Clear Channel that issued an edict to its presenters to whip up a pro-war fervour among listeners? Was it not the boss of Clear Channel, Lowry Mays, who said, now infamously, that Clear Channel is in the business of "selling Fords, burgers and toothpaste"? Questions have also been raised about the issue of illegally taking "pay for play". These are the allegations that have left a rather battered Clear Channel as a company more widely loathed by the public than any other in the American media industry.

"People are flocking from radio in droves," says Michael Bracy, director of government relations at the lobby group the Future of Music Coalition. "So many people have become disenfranchised that they simply don't listen anymore. Smaller local artists are being freezed out by centralised programming. It's very damaging to the culture. There is a climate of fear surrounding Clear Channel. People will say in private, 'They did this or they did that,' but they won't speak out because they have to do business with them."

The bad publicity has made Clear Channel a political pariah. While other parts of the media industry are enjoying the relaxation of ownership laws, in radio, they were tightened up last week, despite the company hiring well-connected Washington lobbyists and appointing a former US congressman to the board. "The Federal Communications Commission chose politics over the public interest and American consumers will be the ultimate victims," said Clear Channel's chief operating officer Mark Mays.

Now some in the British music industry are trembling. The company recently moved its international team into a specially commissioned building in Cromwell Road in west London and is poised to take advantage of the planned relaxation of the British media ownership laws.

Few would dispute the statement that American radio is generally of very poor quality, with its incessant advertising, rigid playlists and eyebrow raising news coverage. Another disturbing recent trend is for radio stations to use new technology to make it appear that a DJ is "local", when in fact he or she is producing a single programme, broadcast in a number of locations and spliced with the odd piece of colour. Local bands and talent, critics argue, are being stifled, and regional music styles - of the sort that gave birth to Motown in Detroit and grunge in Seattle - are being flattened into a homogeneous mush.

According to the US ratings service Arbitron, Americans are spending 10% less time listening to radio per annum. Radio listenership in the US is at a 27-year low. But is it right to pin the blame on Clear Channel?

It is perhaps the speed with which Clear Channel has grown that has shocked so many both inside and outside the industry. In 1996, Clear Channel had just 43 stations. But suddenly, when radio ownership rules were torn up, they could own eight stations per market instead of two, with no national limit.

The company started life in 1972, when Lowry Mays, an investment banker, lent the money to a friend to buy a station in San Antonio, Texas, where the company is still based. The friend backed out and Mays inadvertently found himself a budding media mogul. He recruited a friend, Red McCombs, a local car dealer, to help him run it. It now controls 20% of US radio advertising revenues.

The company certainly has its fans on Wall Street, where assessments are a little more dispassionate. Fortune magazine ranked it the third most admired media company in America last year, behind Disney and Viacom, but ahead of AOL Time Warner and News Corporation. Shares in the business have outperformed all of the key indices on Wall Street.

Clear Channel argues that, far from killing American radio, it has been its saviour, buying struggling stations and diversifying formats. Its supporters contend that consolidation actually forces more diverse programming to prevent overlap in a single market. "The bigger the radio groups, the better they can serve advertisers, and more resources are then available to invest in output for the benefit of listeners," said Mays in a lecture at Cambridge last year.

Mays made his "Fords, burgers or toothpaste" quote at the beginning of a long speech about why a radio company cannot sell more without great content (it claims to spend $500m a year on programming). Paul Sweeny, an analyst at investment bank CSFB, told Fortune that Clear Channel has "one of the best-managed teams in broadcasting".

Clear Channel also maintains that it sent no edict to its DJs in the run-up to the second Gulf war, and that the rallies - most of them under the umbrella of a series of "Rallies for America", organised by talkshow host Glenn Beck- reflected only the points of view of individual stations. It also denies the charge that there was any order to ditch the Dixie Chicks. The most famous incident - a public CD-smashing - was organised by a different company. But it is easy to see why Clear Channel's political affiliations are scrutinised. Mays is a supporter of the Republicans and his links with the Bush family stretch back a long way. In 1998, vice-chairman Tom Hicks bought the Texas Rangers baseball team in a deal that made Bush a millionaire.

Bracy argues that whether orders were sent out from head office to send pro-war messages or not is irrelevant. "It's about a corporate culture that is coming down from the top, whether there was an edict or not. The music situation is bad enough, but what is really scary is the use of the radio to communicate political issues. With more concentration, you have less diversity of views."

According to Roger Parry, who runs the international division of Clear Channel, fears that the company is about to hoover up British radio are premature. "If the price was right - and at the moment we don't think it is - and if there was a friendly deal on the table, then we'd look at it," he says. "But it's not something that is high on our agenda. My role is to look at investment opportunities outside America, and if I had $500m sitting around, there are probably better things to do with it than buy radio stations in Britain."

If the company did invest more widely in British radio, it would not import US management techniques and models, adds Parry: "You make money as a media owner by understanding and serving the needs of a local audience."

But it remains difficult to convince the industry that Clear Channel is the benign force that it would like to present itself as. "It would have been a lot harder if Billy Bragg was starting out today," says Jenner. "Stations used to have alternative programmes and we used to be able to go in and do interviews ahead of a gig. If you are a corporation, what do you do? You centralise things and take costs out. But central programming rips the heart out. Everything is done by research, which might mean a 30-second snatch of a song played down the phone. So people go for the familiar. You don't have a chance to get to like something new.

"It's creative death, it's standardisation - McDonaldisation. Creativity requires diversity. If you introduce free markets without regulation, you are prescribing monopoly. The only upside to all of this is that it gets so bad that things start to develop underground on the internet or satellite radio. That's what happened with the Floyd."

LUPITA:THE GOLDEN PRINCESS-PART THREE:

The 4 enjoyed the dinner put together by the govenours head chef Simmons LeRou,the dinner menu included stuffed peppers, ham,salad,a relish plate and duck ala orange with a 1968 bordeau.they enjoyed teh party till the wee hours of the am, While Maria and Rene went to their guest room, Lupita and Stefan went to theirs, both rooms had balconies that overlooked the ocean.


As the sun went down Stefan looked out the doors and walked out on the balcony, the ocean waves glistened as the moon reflected off them, the bathroom door opened, "Ahem, stefan." Lupita said in a sensual voice,Stefan turned and saw a vision that made his eyes widen ..there was lupita in a silken red satin low cut nightgown with slits to the side,and formed to her body, underneathe she was wearing a silk black bustier with thigh high nylons and a garter belt. Lupita sensually walked towards her stefan,every inch of her glistened with starlight,Stefan smiled as he watched his wife walk towards him. "Lupita, you are as beautiful and sensual as the first time I met you." As he held her in his arms, Lupita unzipped his pants and felt his manhood rise,she looked at him smiling and said .."Take me darling,make me tingle all over".


Stefan picked her up and carried her towards the bed,they began to kiss passionately as he carried her to the bed,he then put her on the edge of the bed and caressing every inch of her bodytook down her nightgown and as Lupita undid his pants, Stefan removed her bustier, their passion increasing with every moment. he made her whole body tingle as their passion grew intense. Stefan looked at Lupita naked on the bed and said, "Lupita my dearest, you are a goddess" as he kissed her breasts ,and made her tingle as their passion overtook the night and they made love.


The day broke,, and Lupita and Stefan sttod in their robes looking out on the ocean , stefan's arms around Lupita and kissing her neck. " mmmm, lupita..you were marvelous last night" Stefan said as he whispered in her ear, She looked at him and smiled as he caressed her. they got dressed and waited for Maria and Rene downstairs. they came down a bit messed up.."you too?" stefan said coyly,Maria and Rene smiled and laughed.


The four joined the prince and his wife in one hummer,and along with the other tour groups in seperate Hummers and were off to safari,and tour the jungle along with a stop to the prince's tribal home zuslu, the home of the uzbangia tribe, as the convoy arrived at the drop off point, each group had guards with them in case of trouble,"we will meet back here in 6 hours,please remain with your group leader and guard" the prince said..as the trek began ,and the tour group took pictures and videos,Stefan.lupita,maria and rene along with the prince and their secutiry followed, after a 3 hour hike they saw the tribal home of the prince, there was a welcoming committe waiting for the group,the tribal leader was an 56 year old man named Gonboa, he is the cousin of the prince, and he and his people presented the groups with tribal beads and a party,as the party continued Stefan, and lupita did a little walking around,when Lupita fell over something, and let out a scream of pain, "Lupita!!!, are you alright??" stefan said concerned about the woman he loves. "yes my love, but I fell over this.." said Luipta grimmacing in pain holding her ankle .


the Pirnce, Maria ,Rene and the tribal leader came to the rescue, they saw Lupita holding her ankle and with stefan carrying her they all went back to the camp. "What happened Stefan?" said the prince, Lupita looked at the concerned faces and said " I'm ok folks, I just tripped over this,and twisted my ankle" the tribe were shocked,"my god,the princess.." Lupita was confused as the tribe couldnt believe what happened .."what is going on your highness?" Lupita said.. The tribal chief looked at Lupita .."Your highness has returned to save us from the evil that has engulfed the land"


Stefan looked at what was going on,and whispered to the prince, "George, whats going on here??",the prince looked at stefan and then motioned to his wife,"take care of our guests, Ill be back my beloved", The prince took both Stefan and rene to a private area away from the crowd,and spoke, holding the item Lupita tripped on.." Oh boy!, we got a big problem guys..a BIGGG problem"
Stefan and Rene looked confused, Rene spoke " Profs, what are you babbling about, what trouble??, Lupita fell on something, that shouldnt cause this much hubbub", Stefan nodded in agreement and said "Whats up george, the last time you acted like this was when your cousin stole your bike from you, whats going on", The prince said "look at this"and held up the object to the light, the reflection from the moonlight revealed just what it was.. Stefan and Rene were speechless, "Th..tha...thats LUPITA!!" Stefan said in shock, " and in gold!" said Rene..


"Yes, its the golden princess, luipia" the prince said, "but its her mother Rita", Stefan looked at the prince " You mean to tell me ..." the prince nodded yes...Rita was our princess before we sent her to the states to be schooled and safe..for she holds the key
to our future, but since she perished, it fell upon her daughters and a neice to continue on the legacy.", Rene interupted "daughters???, you dont mean that ...??", The prince put his hands on Rene's and Stefans shoulders, "Yes "Wanks",Skips..Lupita, Analya, and Maria are the royal princesses of lady Rita.", just then a scream was heard, the prince and his pals heard the scream, "Come on guys, back to the tribal village, fast ..that dont sound good",the friends ran back to the village, to see a flaming spear burning a bush,as the tribal men took water to put out the flame, king gonboa took the note and read it.


He then took the note to the prince, the prince sensing the concern on the King phoned for his personal chopper, took to the podium, "Attention my friends, we are going to put you all up in the hotel about a mile away from here,we will continue the hike tomorrow..and a big feast follows", the prince then gave the golden princess to the king and the king looked at the prince and his two pals, and said " do they know?" the prince nodded,the king said ," you know who this is from,he wont stop, he must know know that they are here.."
The prince,along with Stefan and Rene looked puzzled, "Donald! thats his calling card..or King Fulkisz of the Zulosizi Tribe as he wishes to be called","and Stefan.." the prince looked at him, " he wants Lupita..for his wife!" Stefan looked at the prince, "THATS NUTS, Lupita is MY wife!! no way will he ever lay his hands on her!! said stefan with anger in his voice,
The king hearing this took Stefan to his side and said soothingly,"My son,It takes a brave man to stand up and protect what his heart has, but as the prince said, it dont matter..he will take anything and anyone to quench his hunger, and he will do anything in his power to do it too, he has too much of the evil inside him he is too powerful to take on." Stefan looked at the king and then at Rene and the prince, "He may be evil to you, but to us, he will always be that skrawny,pipsqueak of a toad named Donald who acted like a spoiled brat when he didnt get his way," "He wants MY wife, he'll have to KILL me first!" the king smiled, "Thats all I needed to hear my son!" he then looked at the prince and said "son, I have always said that you have some very stubborn,but loyal friends, I think we may win this". Stefan and Rene looked confused, Rene said "SON??, you mean that .." The prince smiled, "Guys,you know my dad Stuart"."We got to talk,dont worry stefan, donald dont know where weve taken the group, they are all safe."

LUPITA:THE GOLDEN PRINCESS-PART TWO:

the govenours mansion was a massive villa overlooking the ocean,as the limo rolled to a stop,Lupita,Maria,Rene and Stefan
saw the layout and were in awe over what they saw,from an animal reserve to a guest house. The main house is a 10 bedroom, 5 bathroom villa that sparkled as the sun hit the windows. "your highness..its amazing" Lupita said as she clutched Stefans arm,
"Please, all my friends call me George" the prince said with a smile and laugh, "Come my friends, Ladies you can ajourn to the
game room while your husbands and I conduct some business".


The ladies went to the ultimate game room while the prince,Stefan and Rene went to his den,the prince had one of his guards close the door behind him,George spoke,"Stefan,Rene..you know my cousin Donald,he was a major pain in the ass when we were trying to get prom dates..remember",Rene said "lets see, red hair,week chin..personality of a rat..no offense". George said,with a smile.."none taken,the problem is that when my father chose me to take over as govenour,that set Donald off in a jealous rage that sent him over the edge and in with a tribe that has been feuding with us, The zulosizi tribe." Stefan and Rene were puzzled "The Zulosizi tribe were a peaceful democratic people, what happened?" Rene said, "Donald happened,"George said sullenly,"He led a
coup against the tribal leader King Mazawi,and became the new leader and immediately began a life of stealing,and invading other tribes of their riches. And now they target me and my people...so you see,we need your help."


Stefan and Rene nodded and Stefan spoke,"You know we are friends, and took an oath to help out anyone in trouble,we wilkl do what we can to stop Donald from distroying this beautiful land of yours",Rene also spoke,"I second what Stefan said, but a question..how do we NOT tell the women about it so they dont worry" "George stood up and said "Simple, your tour group has signed up for a safari and nature hike in the combuzta forest where my people,the uzbaniga live in peace and happiness, they and our brothers and sisters of the uzgazisio tribe are the last ones who have survived my cousins onslaughts.,and they are the ones who have been trying to get back the $500 million dollars in gold that were taken by my cousin in a raid and is being protected by guards
who have been ordered to kill anyone onsite..my cousin has those scared souls so brainwashed they would even kill their own people."



Stefan said, "George, we will help you, and we will make sure Donald pays for what he has done", george smiled and put his strong hands on stefan and rene's shoulders, "you are my brothers,thank you for your help, we shall start tomorrow..NOW WE FEAST!"

LUPITA: THE GOLDEN PRINCESS-PART ONE

The honeymoon continued for Maria and Rene, and Stefan and Lupita..as their cruise to the South Pacific island of Matagonia
was continuing, they started by having lunch at the captains table and then dancing on the lido deck.the world they left
was but a memory, especially for Lupita, who stared into the eyes of her beloved Stefan, "My dearest, I am glad I found you to fill
my heart" said Lupita as she and stefan kissed "And I am glad to have found you to fill my heart and soul my Lupita".


Maria and rene were dancing then started to leave,"where are you two going?" Lupita said "You cant be THAT tired already?",
Maria and Rene looked at Stefan and Lupita and then both smiled and blushed as rene spoke "Well, hehe..this IS our honeymoon
too..and uh, well...theres somethings Maria and I.. " Stefan and Lupita looked at the pair and blushed a bit too, "we know, we
know" Lupita said "yeah, we sure do, but remember we got that tour of zumacizla Island coming up at 4pm " Stefan said. "You got
it Stefan, we'll be ready for that..Ive not seen Prince Hozleamaza since he was George Phili our old buddy in junior high.."and
before Rene could finish his sentence, Maria dragged him out of the dance floor and on to their room, leaving a happy Stefan and
lupita along with others on the lido deck dancing.


After a few hours, the ship docked at St. Pauliza harbor on the south pacific island of Zumacizla, outside of bermuda
a welcoming comittee came out to welcome the group, and among them was a tall dark haired gentleman wearing a head dress
and a business suit, with guards next to him, as the group walked off the ship, the man looked at both Stefan and Rene and
shouted with glee "HEY SKIP AND WANKS,WHAZZZZUP!!" Stefan and Rene saw their old friend and shouted "PROFS!" Maria
and Lupita were a bit confused,but finally figured it out "they never forget!" they both said together as they saw their husbands
along with the prince doing an old school handshake.


"So this is how the smartest kid in Jr. High finally winds up, prince of his own land !" Stefan said, Rene looked and both and
"look at us , we are three of the luckiest men on earth, Stefan is a businessman, I'm a author and radio host, and you ..WOW!!
thats some major league luck you hit Profs!", "well," the prince said, "I couldnt have done it without my two best friends" the
prince smiled as he,stefan and rene hugged and patted each other on the back,then the prince saw their wives and his eyes
shined. "Well, you two really hit the jackpot, who are these visions of beauty?", Stefan said " those are our wives, Lupita and
her cousin Maria, Girls..This is Prince Hozleamaza the Govenour of this Island. The prince kissed the hands of Maria and Lupita,
"Nice to see i wasnt the only lucky man to capture the hearts of such beauty", Rene and Stefan were stunned "you dont mean?"
stefan said .."Not you, the only guy who was afraid of committment??", "Yeah, who finally speared your soul" Rene said


Just then coming out of the limo, was a beautiful blonde with a drop dead figure, stefan and rene's mouths went open as they saw
her, "you two remember Betty Soulituari?", stefan said "Betty, the head cheerleader who would always pass us by like we were
nothing?" rene said "Batty Betty???" "yep, only now shes the first lady, and now mother of my 4 kids, and one on the way" Prince
Hozleamaza said smiling. Maria and Lupita took Rene and Stefan by teh arm and cleared their throat, stefan and rene looked and
stefan and rene both said "But we both have found our golden women, and we are all lucky". The Prince then said "come, you will
be our guests here at our home, and then I will take you on a tour of the whole island", as a busman took their luggage to the
limo,The prince spoke " Betty,take the ladies to the limo,we will join you ladies in a moment" and then took the men aside.


"Guys, when we get to the Gov's mansion, I need to talk to you both about a problem we have, a big problem with my cousin..
the guy has never forgiven me for being named Prince, he is so jealous..well,", Stefan and Rene looked at their friend and nodded..
they then rejoined their wives in the limo and left for the mansion.

IT CAME FROM THE MIND OF STEVE BAXLEY
(As told to Pita Ojeda en route to a dance under the stars)

-First off, tomorrow all television/radio folks will be eyeballing CSPAN as they broadcast the big decision
on the broadcasting rules, I'll be watching and reporting on it for my webpage.. frankly its a fait du accompli


-Secondly,looks like the PriBax Comedy World Radio Network has SOME life, My buddy Doug reports
that Paul has found us a spot saturday 6am-7am BUT here is the thing, WE'D have to pay $150 AND get some sponsors
to do this ,I would go for it HOWEVER we need whats what and when we get some $$$$, IN WRITING!!!! cause
My mom will be retiring .
Best that can happen is in August,now the big problem is transport..since we have not repaired the van,yet, the only way
we could do this is if Doug picked me up from the wal-mart.

- We must also ask if this is $150 a peice or what ??

-Thirdly, we begin our sequel to Lupita, BUT unlike the last one we did, this one will be done along with our
little rants
