If you weren’t aware from the last issue, we now have a few regular columnists. Scylla, Fenris, Chef Troy, and Cal Meacham have decided to grace us with their regular writings along with Arnold Winkleried’s regular “Prisoners of Conscience” column.
Read it now! Be the first! Come … see the merino standing there with his long shaggy hair!
P. S. - We’re a little shy on articles for the next issue, so if you’ve been holding back from sending submissions in … now’s the time! The submission deadline for issue #11 entitled “Sunstroked and Soggy” will be April 30th. Be there or be square.
I haven’t read my own article since I sent it off to Euty to be published. Looking at it now, I’m glad it still holds up. In fact, I found one of my own lines funny!
I must say this is a fine addition to an already good issue.

Dude, I’m sorry all those articles I edited and sent to you this weekend were apparently too late to make it in.
Everyone, I just want to take this opportunity to say that Euty is FAR too lenient with me about getting things back to him.

My deepest apologies, Scylla.
But yeah, that screech does get one going, doesn’t it, Troy? Ouch!
I was about to throw a fit and demand that my contributor’s fee be doubled for having suffered from this egregious error. After all, it would be impossible for me to have made that mistake since I was using the latest version of Microsoft Word with its context sensitive spell-checker.
Clearly some gross active incompetance was involved.

Fucking Microsoft.
And, I really can’t fault the editors, who were clearly wise enough to realize the importance of putting my column before Fenris’
