Keepin It Real

Keepin It Real

Humans have in their nature a desire to be the "biggest fish in the pond". This desire is not necessarily a bad one. It inspires people to work hard and do great things. But sometimes a Big Fish will become pompous and arrogant with his own girth. This misguided, obese fish will start to lose sight of his objectives and his original goals that made him great.

This will lead to two things; the Big Fish will continue to manifest his fat kid desires and eat all his friends or ultimately be eaten by the quintessential "bigger fish" in this world where Ruxpins still work in slave camps and the plastic mice are hunted for their glossy pelts. Society can no longer carry the weight of useless Big Fish.

The Axis of Stevil believes that in life you must always be humble. Even when you are ultra successful and productive you must keep perspective of being a small minnow in the big ocean of existence. To emphasize this point the Axis of Stevil has released this page from its upcoming "The Axis of Stevil ultimate guide to life Coloring book".

Thurston's Log 04.10.05 - See you later, pig!

The Travel log of Thurston Zee Pig.

Valued Axis of Stevil staff writer and boating enthusiast Thurston Zee Pig left the company over the weekend. Pig leaves us to study the native mating habits of the large breasted Sus scrofa. This photo was the last image captured of Pig before he dove into the water and swam to points unknown. Pig promises in the future, he will write of his exploits to the Axis of Stevil offices.

He leaves us with these words:

Ever think about how fast time flies? One day you are brand new to the world, everything is beautiful and there is no end in sight; the next, you notice wrinkles, flaws jump out at you, and you feel fate breathing down your neck.

Triumphant Return Of The American Spirit

Triumphant Return Of The American Spirit

The Axis of Stevil, while a powerhouse player in international affairs and business, is at its core an American corporation. This National Triumph Week, The Axis of Stevil is taking the initiative and hailing for the Triumphant Return of the American Spirit [TRAS].

The modern American spirit was conceived in the 1950s and truly came into its own in the mid to late 1960s. The American spirit is the quality of being good at two things: work and the pursuit of happiness. With these two things, Americans can accomplish anything they can set their mind to. It was this mentality that made America the best thing going since Constantinople.
