%Title: ATROCITY Volume 17 Issue 10
%Descr: When you think of Mensa folks, how many of you think of
stogy uptight bores? How many -- raise your hands? Well, a
quick glance at *The Atrocity*, the offical journal of the
Mensa absurd SIG, will change your mind. Not that the
Atrocity is uproariously funny, acutally it's rude and
tasteless, not what you'd expect from a bunch of adult
super-intellectuals.
The connection between UFOs and paper cups, Mother Teresa's plan
to marry Bully Hawkins, some humorous drinking songs, and a bunch
of fax/memes.

%Title: CAMPUS REVIEW: The Right Side of the Story Volume 9 Issue 7
Oct.
%Descr: '93
Some zines improve with age while others get trite. After
reading the same stupid arguments for the same homophobic
views it just gets anoying. More of the same here but with
less humor. Maybe they're just bitter becuase they lost
their head honcho in the White House.
This one has an interesting piece about free speach and
obscenity, a long complaint about a progressive-thinking
professor, and an interview with Senator Phil Gramm complaining
about Clinton's health plan.

They've really improved the production on this issue. Fine
halftones, slick paper, and get this, spot color on every page.
Silly stories by John Shaw, Kevin Kerr, Kathleen O'Sullivan, and
Mark Doyon.

%Title: FUNNY PAGES: The Sick Humor Zine of the 90's Issue 46 August
'93
%Descr: A zine of tasteless jokes, some of them quite funny. The
more I read this, the more I find myself enjoying it. A
mater of fact, the more I show it to my friends, the more
they enjoy it too.
Religion jokes: "Why didn't Jesus get into college? He got hung
up on his boards." Yugo jokes: "What do you call a Yugo with a
flat tire? A write off." Sick humor: "What's gross? Getting to
the bottom of a mayonnaise jar and finding a rubber." To read the
racist jokes ya gonna have to buy it, I'm not reprinting them
here.
Not politically correct. Who the fuck cares? Send 'em some jokes
and maybe you'll get a few issues in return.

%Title: HALF TRUTH Issue 17 February, 1994
%Descr: Remember when _National Lampoon_ was funny? Back in the
'70s. OK, it's 20 years later, and _Half Truth_ is just as
funny, in the same way, but with better taste in muzak.
Ambulance Man has returned!!!! Do you really need any more
reason to sell your children into slavery to buy this issue of
_Half Truth_? I thought not. Sure, there's also Too Much Coffee
Man and the Classified Ads, and the K Chronicles, and an
interview with Robyn Hitchcock in Tokyo, and Charles Bukowski,
and the New Bloody Gaping Anal Cavity of Hate-Swollen reviews,
and Scum Sinema and even a bunch of sick shit that losers like
you sent in. You haven't bought your copy yet? Are you dead or
something?
Roll on the floor laughing with sicko humor.

%Title: HYSTERIA: Women, Humor, and Social Change Volume 1 Issue 3
Fall
%Descr: 1993
Yes, there's finally a humor magazine worth buying -- and
it's by, for, and about women! *Hysteria* rises from the
ashes of the defunct (with good reason) *Quayle Quarterly,*
and titillates with humor both written and cartooned.
Check out Beth Tuzzio's "The Problem with Pantyhose" and its
companion piece by Muriel Calegari, "Sheer Frustration." More
relevant, perhaps, but no less funny, are a group of pieces about
women and work (the vintage photos in this section are fabulous).
Plus more menstruation meditations, pet humor, parenting, and fun
with academia.
Let's face it, women are funnier than men.

%Title: LOVEBOAT EARTH: Grunge Issue 30 June '93
%Descr:
This publication offers a lot for a cut and paste Xerox zine.
There's cartoons, photographs (xerox quality), poetry, and
reviews. Targeted towards people who share the feeling that
grunge anything needs to hit the road.Everything you ever wanted
to know about grunge and then some. Plus everything from French
dandyism to Grunge for the Frugal shopper, Grunge history and
style - all in satire! He quotes "this ain't no music fanzine,"
but you got to wonder why he has such a pre-occupation with the
dislike of grunge. There's music reviews, and a great Kafka
cartoon. It's a good zine if your all time favorite group is
Wings.

%Title: NEWS OF THE WEIRD Issue 22 May 28, 1993
%Descr:
Nicely printed Desktop publishing. However, the layout is a
little too condensed and tight for me, which makes reading it in
one sitting pretty hard. It takes news clippings from all over
the country that are pretty bizzare and uses it as satire. If
you have a modem you can recieve News of the weird free via his
E-mail address. This publication makes reading the newspaper a
whole new experience. Chuck has taken articles from all over the
country which are bizzare and weird and collected them all for
you to read. I caught myself laughing at times and shaking my
head at others. Articles include robbers who ask their victims
for a jump start because their getaway car doesn't run to a man
in Edmonds, Wa. who has sex with corpses but gets away with it
because there is no law against it! Definetley worth the 6 bucks
if you don't have a modem. Plus look out for his book America's
Least Compitent Criminals. Write for info.

%Title: NEWS OF THE WEIRD/VIEW FROM LEDGE Issue 24 Sept. '93
%Descr: The officials publication from News of the Weird
enterprises. *NOTW* is four pages cramed with the wackiest
stuff you've ever thought to be true. Strange police
reports, weird sex, botched roberies, and freak accidents.
*VFTL* is a funny newsletter featuring absurdist newsclips
from around the country. Most were sent in by the
"contributing editors" and he encorrages people to send him
more stuff.
A tropical fish doctor, robbins with Welsh acents, a true (?)
story of someone finding a spider in their ear, and a support
group for alien abductees.
The two publication are available separately but go the whole
package, $11 for seven issues of each.

%Title: PAH! Issue 88 Oct. '93
%Descr: Mark does these surreal exposes and satirical rants. Each
one runs about a page long and he just staples a few
together to make a package.
Two essays here. In the first he explains how he would run his
own talk show. I like the more serious second essay where her
ponders the value celebrity books to draw hesitant book buyers
into bookstores.
Pretty Funny.

%Title: PROBE: The Journal of Low-Ball Hi-Jinx Issue 1 January, 1994
%Descr: OK, this *isn't* the UFO/Conspiracy zine of the same name.
But maybe you should get it anyway.
"In this issue: Farts, Bangs, Porno, Drinking" and that sums it
up. Two pages of fart stories. A programmer stalks the co-host
of Dialing for Dollars, who wears 40 gallons of hair spray, in a
supermarket, "I sort of slid up beside her. I had a good little
pony waiting in the gait. So, she's standing there checking her
eggs while I'm standing next to her letting one drift out. One
of those rancid, dead-on-arrival jobs. A real burner. Anybody
who has ever drank Rhinelander beer will know exactly what I'm
talking about." Then there's a tour of all the sex shops along
Highway 41, Lester Bangs on the meaning of life and a recipie for
Winter Passion.

%Title: PUN INTENDED: The news later for the jeering impaired Volume 3
Issue
%Descr: 2 Summer '93
They shoulda called it "Pain Intended" 'cause that's what
you'll be feeling after reading this pun-packed zine. Four
pages of puns, puns and more puns, in every form -- more
than any person can take in one sitting.
It's the "Summer '93" issue. The very late Summer '93 issue.
"Guess who's comming to DNA." "We'll be pain for this missed
ache." Lots of great cartoons too.
Excruciating! Don't miss the Elvis "Return to slender" stamp
available for $10. Subscriptions benefit the O. Henry museum.

%Title: RUBBER DUCKY MAGAZINE Issue 7 Fall '93
%Descr: A fun interactive zine with puzzles and games and humorous
articles.
They printed a tough Summer '93 trivia quiz, a Jeffrey Dahmer
word search, a spray on hair cheese game with Sinead OlConnor and
Patrick Stewart, connect the dots, a fun celebrity quiz, personal
stuff about Baywatch's David Hasselhoff, stupid crime stories,
Fart Boy comics, and a review of a Chia Pet. The only bad part is
the zillionth reprint of that Bill Clinton statue thang.

'93
%Descr: Don's short but amusing zine of political satire.
He reports that Clinton's health plan will result in poor patient
having to read very old magazines, peace breaking out in Northern
Ireland, and the new U.S. workerless economy.
Funny stuff from Mr. Busky and definitely worth the price.

%Title: VOODOO: MIT Journal of Humor Volume 75 Issue 2 November,
1993
%Descr: Humor from the unwashed graduate students who wind up
designing important things like computers and nuclear
devices.
What the fuck happened? Suddenly, _VooDoo_ got funny. Like,
laughing out loud on the tram *funny*. Is this the same zine?
It must be, as there are still things I Just Don't Get. It
doesn't matter, I get enough of it. Where else are you going to
get the results of last year's IgNoble Prizes? Or the Marilyn
Monroe/Elvis Presely/JFK connection?
College humor at its finest? Yeah, well, maybe.

%Title: VOODOO Volume 75 Issue 1 Fall '93
%Descr: Sophiticated college humor is still college humor. Not bad,
just not for me. Recomended to other students at other
universities.
I liked the comics stylings of Jim Bredt, Jennifer Lopez, and
Cherry Ogata the best. There's also humorous essays by Archibald
Krantz, Hani Sallum, James Fleming, and Dave Jordan.

%Title: WEEKLY WEIRD NEWS & FILTH Issue 11 12/03/93
%Descr:
Here's yet another perk to Bay dwelling - Filth. Yes, I know
there's plenty of filth in NY and Jacksonville and even Kokomo,
but honey it ain't filth like this Filth. Here's a funny, hip,
sarcastic as hell zine that covers everything from music to
politics and beyond. Its rough production values seem to be
smoothing out with age and the content, (stories, comix and
rants,) keeps getting better. Entitled "The Alarming Truth",
no.11 is the conspiracy issue. I mean, *they* say conspiracy,
(you and I know better.) This is the Big Countdown of the Big
Stories, all 79 of 'em: *The Real Darren Stevens*; *Alien
Blackouts*; Oswald; Kennedy; Larouche and the big guy in the sky.
Contributions from Paul Mavrides, S. Tobocman, Lloyd Dangle,
Bucky Sinister and literally dozens of others plus a great cover
by Donald Dick, make this my favorite Filth yet.
