I picked up my copy of the latest Diseased Pariah News last weekend. This is the first issue that the new editor has put out by himself, and I was glad to see that it is very good. The "lead story", after the pinup picture of a soc.motsser, is about the death of the former editor, Tom Shearer. It was one of the funnier articles I had read in a while, and in extremely poor taste. The second article is part of a new series, "How I Got AIDS". Very few people really know, of course, but the gimmick here is for the author to recount episodes where he *might* have gotten it. He recommends against using zucchini for anything but cooking, by the way. A column on "18 Phrases That Turn Our Stomachs Worse Than AZT". A report on lubricants, written by Buzz Bense. A report on hi-cal cooking, with recommendations on what to serve and what not to serve. (Incidentally, the cover story in the food section of the San Francisco Examiner one day this week was about cooking for people with AIDS. One of the people interviewed said that she loves cooking for PWA's - she gets to use all the heavy cream and fat that she's not allowed to eat anymore). "My Mother is a Channel for John Sununu!" "Further Adventures of Captain Condom! #3" (and they've having a contest to give him a new hair style, which he needs badly.) Porn Potato is on vacation this week, and his column was written this time by Smut Squash. He likes "More of a Man" from All Worlds Video. And there's more, much more. I don't think I'm giving anything way by revealing the titles - most of the charm of the magazine is in its style (although the content is also good). One year subscription us$7, us$7 in Canada, us$18 international, from Forge-of-God Press, POBox 31431, San Francisco, California 94131 USA. You must say that you are over 18 years old. They also have t-shirts, buttons, and Captain Condom's Original Party Pack. -- Jack Hamilton jfh@netcom.com apple!netcom!jfh
