		RMRA on the Net Our friends at www.organizer.ro featured an article about the RMRA in the 6th issue of Organizer e-magazine. This is what they had to say: "Am descoperit recent pe Net un site care, desi structurat ca un "magazin", este de mare (si perpetua:)) actualitate in Romania. La adresa http://rmra.cleverobjects.com veti gasi un site al RMRA. Cine este RMRA? Vreo asociatie non-profit? Raspunsul la aceasta intrebare este un "Da" hotarat. Vreo asociatie neguvernamentala? aaaa...Nu chiar...Raspunsul la aceasta intrebare nu prea mai are acelasi grad de certitudine, dat fiind ca putem regasi membri ai RMRA in cele mai inalte foruri guvernamentale. Cred ca deja ati ajuns la exasperare... Ca sa nu va punem prea mult rabdarea la incercare, haide sa va spunem si despre ce este vorba. Ei bine, RMRA este The Romanian Mint Rubbing Association, adecatelea mai pe romaneste Asociatia Romana pentru Frecat Menta, asociatie care cuprinde deja mai bine de 23 de milioane de membri (si numarul acestora este ntr-o continua crestere). Cu un design bine ordonat si o tematica mai mult decat fericit aleasa, introducerea site-ului explica pe larg semnificatia expresiei "a freca menta" (obicei romanesc practicat de milioane de oameni din timpuri stravechi). Scopul RMRA este sa te ajute sa iti imbunatatesti tehnicile de frecat menta, ceea ce te conduce la o folosire mai eficienta a timpului ocupat de activitatile tale cotidiene. Daca intrati pe aceasta pagina fiti siguri ca veti beneficia de sfaturi ce vin dintr-o experienta variata, caci RMRA este afiliata la IMRG (International Mint Rubbing Group), una din cele mai mari asociatii profesionale din lume. Scopul asociatiei internationale devine in sfarsit realitate, mai ales ca el coincide cu unul din cele mai vechi vise ale omenirii - "free mint rubbing for all". Site-ul este util atat pentru incepatori in ale frecatului mentei cat si pentru cei care au ajuns deja in stadiul de avansati. Novicii pot invata aceasta frumoasa non-ocupatie in 5 pasi, special conceputi pentru incepatori. Pentru avansati va recomandam sa accesati link-ul catre pagina de frecarea mentei online (work-simulation webpage), serviciu oferit gratuit de RMRA. Puteti citi pe acest site si ziarul asociatiei, care a ajuns la numarul 5 si caruia ii uram "La mai multe numere". Retineti sloganul mai mult decat inspirat al publicatiei - "I'm green and I say it loud: I rub mint and I am proud" :)))" Our new fans this month have linked to us at: www.gisser.de, www.tbns.net/matei/links.html and www.mit.edu/~leut/. At long last we managed to compile a list of all the pages that link to the RMRA webpage. This list was included in the Mint Rubbing Almanac that can be downloaded from the first page of this journal. Thank you all for your support. If you linked to us and your page doesn't appear in the list, just let us know. We've also found a new thread on the chip.ro forum - it's here. Messages from Fellow Mint Rubbers We receiveed even more interesting messges this month. Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts and experiences on the mint rubbing phenomenon. All your input is very important to us: - "The dog dies from a long road and the fool dies from caring about someone else" si vad ca p'astia "it itched them in the ass (very much like in Zambilica's case) to stick their nose where their pot doesn't boil" si in loc "to keep their bick small and play an ankle game" vad ca "they eat crap with the ladle" and "their mouth speaks without them" asa ca sint bucuros ca "you give it to them over their muzzle". - Imi pare bine sa va anunt de o noua metoda si indeletnicire a rominilor. Poate ca o sa o treceti in deja renumita culegere de zicale, si chiar pe pagina de web. Expresia este : "A Fute BUHA" ("Fuck the OWL").Un satisfacut membru al IMRG - super cool! keep up the good work! (sorry for the "w" word, it's just an expression...).tineti-ma la curent cu ce mai scrieti, cu ce mai frecati...ioana, the mint-flavoured toothpaste rubber - guys e funny! credeam ca a murit umorul dupa dec '89. keep going - Happy Mint Rubbing - am infectat tot biroul:) cu site-ul asta... toata lumea freaca menta interactiv si ride in hohote... asa ca/ punct ochit, punctlovit... By the way - si scrisul de e-mailuri poate fi un placut si social mod de a freca menta... Contributions and Subscriptions Once again it's subscription time. You know the drill: click here to send us a message and subscribe to the Mint Rubbing Journal. The journal is a free monthly publication that gets published at the end of each month.

And again we need your help for the next issue of the journal. Send us your mint rubbing materials so we can include them in the next issue. Don't let us down, you've stayed in hiding for too long now. Make yourself heard. ~ Page 6 of 6 ~
