Galaxy Gossip New Year Wrap Up By Deborah Roaché-Hudak # 289133

In recent news, the resource shakedown continues as editors and filming news crews are fired in multiple sectors, pay rates scale down for independent newsmen and recruiting takes a beating with the new ceiling. Rumors are, the fiscal economic slow down is to blame despite the high production of new weapons released and prototype mechas in development. The news crews deny any involvement of sabotage with the recent ad campaign's sudden drop. The ending quarter of last year had Galactic News-watchers see a sharp decrease in the availability of hyperlinks for three of four weeks per month. The inaccessibility since the New Year has not helped stock prices and speculations predict IPOs will nose dive if this situation isn't corrected within the first quarter of the new year.

In a year end review, the Vupa 6 war went cease fire, as mandated by the Intergalactic Treaty, for New Year's Eve. The Pirate Moon Pox is making a strong comeback despite inoculations. And the Storm of the Millennium, as it's being dubbed, continues to make it's way across the Universe. Projections have gone forward on a yearly basis to maximum correct predictions and no major base is seen in the wake of the path for this coming year, good news after the tragic losses sustained last year. Highlight holographs are available in the winter edition of the Farmer's Almanac.

Finally, the Galloping Galactic Gourmet has a quick tip for your leftover Snarvum from this holiday season. Instead of a plain sandwich, spice it up with some yummy Yomi sauce. The rare Yomi plant offers a lovely citrus undertone but the heat will remind you this is no bland topping. Adding some bacon bits is the secret pow for this addition, you won't mind a week's worth of leftovers when you toss this into the mix. Easier on the waistline compared to most condiments, it's the perfect addition you won't have to feel guilty about. It's also great on salads!

That raps up this New Year's addition of Galaxy Gossip. This is Deborah Roaché-Hudak and I'll be sending transmissions from the other side of the Galaxy before the year ends. Looking forward to the working vacation so I will continue to pass on the juiciest stories throughout the year. Until next time, I bid you all safe travels and successful battles!
