THE DAILY TRAVESTY for January 11,
2000
Volume 1, Issue 7
brought to you by B.C. in the dark of a winter
evening
(but spring is coming!! I can feel
it!)
There was a young fellow named Tupper
Who took a cute red-head to supper
They sat down to dine
At quarter to nine
And at quarter to ten it was up'er
(Not the supper! And not even
Tupper—
It was that son of a bitch named Skinner
again!)
And that's the end of the bawdy limericks!! (for
now) We would like to thank the readers for all the great feedback they've
sent in, all of it very positive and helpful. We will continue to publish
on a daily basis (weekdays).

Featured link!!!
The original toy shop (in the purest sense of the word),
home of rubber chickens, angel snot, punching nuns, giant lizards and monster
women. Anything irrelevant and irreverant can be found here.
Entertaining to browse, a great place to buy fun (but cheap) stuff for
anyone (including yourself). Nice staff too; they send free gifts with
every order and seem to have a real sense of humor. B.C. recommends it as
one of those things you should know about but probably don't.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Erin W. makes a good point:
"Will all folks who confess to not wanting your zine
be rebuked in the next issue or is that something reserved only for siblings? Or
for those who stretch poetical license by comparing a daily dosage of digital
information to a commonly ridiculed food product? BC, you're an arrogant
bastard, but I love you. And I mean 'arrogant bastard' in a good
way."
Editor: I felt that my brother was "asking" to be made fun
of by canceling his subscription in such a callous (and amusing) way. This
was only my interpretation of the letter, nevertheless I had to oblige
him. I suppose it is true that anything you send in reference to the
TRAVESTY runs the risk of being published (unless you specifically ask for it
not to be published). So, in that sense there is a possiblity that
we may make fun of you if you cancel your subscription with as much
gumption as my brother. But I would also like to note that I bare no
ill-will whatsoever towards him. I have always maintained: I only want to
send the TRAVESTY to those who want to read it. If you don't want it, stop
feeling guilty and let me know for chrissakes. It's all in the name of
fun.
Cheers 'til tomorrow!

Though I've tried before to tell her all
the feelings I have for her in my heart Every time that I come near her I
just lose my nerve as I've done from the start Do I have to tell the story
of a thousand rainy days since we first met It's a big enough umbrella but
it's always me that ends up getting wet Every little thing she does is
magic Everything she do just turns me on
