Yet another new design change excites few and is noticed by fewer. Paranoid
Bill debuts, talking about fluoride. Michael Jackson picked by pope to oversee
molesting priests. John Ashcroft to star in new ABC sitcom, John Ashcroft
Controls the Planet. Ted McGinley hired as new castmember at White House,
GOP worries relevancy may have passed. Plus, more of the usual gibberish, Survivor
crap, and things that do or don't suck.
Volume III, Issue 4: April, 2002
Our first April Fools issue. We'll try to do better
next time, really. The
True Dork Times gets bought out by telecom megagiant Faux News. As such,
much of the new content is replaced by aging, partially decomposed stories. Few
notice. Somewhere in this, Crappy, Cranky Andy, Things Which Don't Suck,
et al., manage to worm their way into the mix.

depictions of hijackers. Anti-partisanship bill stalls amid Congessional
political bickering. President George W. Bush is actually a French spy. The

of shiny new Survivor buttons to push.
Volume
III, Issue 1: January, 2002

they sucked about as much as last years, but at least we have a tasteful new
trophy to go with them. Dr. Laura tapes reveal possible alternate source
of Bush's bruises. Leonardo DiCaprio launches a new career as an internet
psychic, Mr. Leo. 'Genius Award' given for revolutionary 'People Are
Morons' theory. A merciful end comes to Survivor 3, and our coverage,

The new-new economy of flag making; President Bush declares war on the English
language; white powder found near Whitney Houston; Indiana man claims Nobel
snub for discovering Bose-Einstein condensate after visiting Taco Bell; failed
attempts to clone Bigfoot. Also, our helpful guide to nu metal making. Plus
a bunch of the usual crap.
Volume
II, Issue 9: September, 2001
It was the month in which the world changed.
Humor suddenly had no meaning. Around
the world, topical, political satire was replaced by maudlin remembrances. Except
here, of course, where we were just too lazy to take down and/or replace our
immediately-dated Gary Condit and Bush summer vacation jokes. Luckily there
was still Survivor:Africa to ridicule. Not to mention our anniversary
celebration. We're leaving the party decorations up, in case all the guests
just got lost on the way here.
Volume
II, Issue 8: August, 2001
Martha Stewart spreads her magic to space travel. Gaijenna vs. Dobbaru! Cheneys
of Love and Love Tom Cruise top new reality TV offerings. Which
engineering TV geek show is right for me? GOP vs. Hollywood. Launch
of Survihumor.

II, Issue 7: July, 2001
Cheney gets heart, Bush next in line for
brain. Cubs acquire Jordan. So many exciting things to buy in

the April issue.

Clinton traded to China; and South Park: The Broadway Musical! Plus
more Cranky Andy, some reader mail, and finally, an issue without Survivor.
Volume
II, Issue 4: April, 2001
Donald Trump, papal candidate? Rectal head-stuffing,
vague Presidential threat by Bush, and Star Trek riots! Plus,
amish advice from Seth, a computer quiz, and Cranky Andy's lists.
The main page passes the Survivor stuff in popularity
with this issue. Did we do something right? Nah, probably not.
Volume
II, Issue 3: March, 2001
Disney opens a new park, and you are there! G.W.B. vs PETA, more color, a flood
of visitors to the Surviv-o-meter, the dawn of baseball season, and a bunch
of other crap. Yee-haw!
Volume
II, Issue 2: February, 2001
Horoscopes! Survivor-bashing (sort of)! Computer viruses! Unnecessary
exclamation points! Don't pretend you haven't been reading....
Volume
II, Issue 1: January, 2001
A new year. A fresh start for the country. The same, tired jokes
you saw last year. That about covers it. Plus Saddam Hussein and Osama bin
Laden in a boy band! What could be funnier? Okay, you can be quiet
now. |
