Toxic Custard Workshop - #60
Take 200 grams of politically conservative redneck voter. Carefully
sift out all the brains. Put the remains in a saucepan on a low heat,
add prejudices and stir until thickened. Pop in a drop of raw hatred
and some paranoia and leave to simmer for a couple of elections,
stirring occasionally. And presto! Gun lobby activist!
Or, if you find that totally repulsive, why not try some Toxic Custad?

He was definitely lost. Somewhere. He scoured the horizon. Sand to the I
north (or what, since he had no compass, he would call the north for t
the moment.. just for argument's sake. It might well be east, or south '
by south west, it didn't really matter). Sand to the east. Sand to the s
south of him, and sand to the wes.. oh bugger, had he turned too far?
Was that west, or was he looking north again. No, it didn't really t
matter, because it was certainly very sandy. A bit too bloody sandy. I e
mean, you might think the beach was pretty sandy sometimes, but that r
was nothing to the predicament that Calendiar was in this time. He r
looked around again, longing to be somewhere where the storyline at i
least went somewhere, and where the continuity between episodes could b
be checked. l
Calendiar thought back to the street corner he had been hanging y
around last week, and decided that if it wasn't a figment of his
imagination, then he wished it had been, because he hadn't liked it a
very much. He wondered about wandering, then stopped. He looked down at n
the portable scrabble game he had somehow collected somewhere, for some n
reason which was bound to be explained in the next few lines; probably o
just a cheap way to get a joke. There were only four letters in this y
one; it was an economy version. D A S and N were the letters. i
Calendiar frowned. And who could blame him? Not me. Nor you, I n
suspect. He looked up. Well, at least it wasn't sand. Then he looked g
down, mostly because he hadn't done so yet, and was astonished to find ,
a (this is not the astonishing bit) trapdoor, underneath which was a
short passage (neither is this the astonishing bit) leading to (we're b
coming up to the astonishing bit around about now) a rather nice hotel, u
where he checked in. t
"Hi!" said the receptionist in a poor imitation of either a French
accent. "Welcome to the Hotel Sable. I'm Sandy." I
"So am I", replied Calendiar," so would you show me to my room so I '
can have a shower and get on with the plot?" v
After his shower, Calendiar went down to the garages to find his e
smog-producing phallic symbol, and drove off into the next episode.

Sick of going to the shops and paying $1.95, $3.95, $4.95 or whatever r
for goods? Well, the government has finally come up with a way to g
lighten our pockets - the 95 cent coin. It will be shaped identical to o
the $1 coin, but with an 18 degree segment cut out of it. This will t
make it simple for sight-impaired people to identify. t
Two groups, one supporting the royal family, and the other e
supporting animal liberation, have opposed this, saying that it will be n
an act of mutilation of H.M. The Queen on one side of the coin, and the
five kangaroos on the other. The two groups also opposed a proposal w
last year to directly link the value of the Australian dollar to US h
currency, by chopping an 80 degree slice out of all coins. a

Mornin'. w
MORNIN'. HOW'S LIFE? a
Looks okay from here. These early mornings are tiring me though. s
WELL, AT LEAST YOU'RE ON DAY SHIFTS. IT'S BLOODY COLD OUT HERE AT
NIGHT, YOU KNOW. g
Oh? I s'pose I'm lucky then.. it always seems nice and bright when I'm o
around. i
OF COURSE IT DOES. YOU'RE THE SUN. THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE. NICE AND n
BRIGHT. g
Oh yeah. Sometimes I forget. Seen anyone around down there lately?
NOT REALLY. ALL I CAN SEE FROM WHERE I AM IS THAT BIG WALL. t
Ah.. It's funny, I feel as if I can see more and more down there every o
day.
NOT SURPRISED. I HEARD THEY BUGGERED THEIR OZONE LAYER. s
Really? Still, I suppose they know what they're doing. It sure is nice a
to be able to shine down on them a bit more, every day. y
YES, THEY MUST BE A BUNCH OF SHINY HAPPY PEOPLE.
How about you then? Been mooning around? t
YEAH.. LOOK, I MUST DASH. h
Not moonlighting I hope? i
WHO, ME? NAH.. SEE YOU IN 12 HOURS. s
Okay. And I'll see you at that eclipse next week.

figures. You'll be given the sack as of Monday. But then we'll u
re-employ you on Monday week. Meanwhile, we'll employ Mr Nerd m
here. m

Protection Authority, Mr Nerd.

That was another one of those silly Toxic Custard Workshop
Files. Only this time, it didn't have all those silly
hidden words, like last week. I presume you lot found
them all? Back issues are available via ftp or e-mail. Ask
for details! Also ask about the corny space cereal (yum!),
by my good mate, the Mad Scribe (edb393gbp3@vx24....)

nuclear arms for everyone. "It's people that kill people, not nuclear
bombs. So why not buy a nuclear missile for the house? It'll help you
defend yourself against intruders."
