It's been one long, cold winter out on the East coast of the United States, but even the frozen mud of New England's spring didn't prevent us from preparing for our 1994 Durex Classic re-release! We're proud to showcase our newest files alongside our older classics. In addition, you can look forward to an array of attractive and stylish Durex merchandise which will be available at the end of the summer, just in time for all our student readers to impress the drooling masses at the start of another school year. Durex is also happy to support "I Bleed For This!?", a new project by the dynamic duo of spite, Durex's own Snarfblat and Jason Farnon. Jam-packed with angst, complaints, attacks on society and people, the IBFT writings are an essential part of any textfile collection. Keep an eye out for Snarf's upcoming Cult of the Dead Cow release, "Mall Death", a true tour-de-force in the world of "There-Was-This-Guy-And-He-Died" stories. Another Summer, another Catalog, and only the best... From the Durex Blender Corporation. - Random Tox {DBC/Phn0rd} _____________________________________________________________________________ Part Number Part Name ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DBC000(INDX)-DB.940601 Durex Corporate Index A Handy quick reference index to all of the fine DBC releases, this index is updated regularly. Check with your friendly Durex Blender representative to make sure you don't fall behind! The latest Index is always available 24 hours a day via the Durex Customer Support BBS at 617.696.3146. DBC001(IPTD)-RT.910812 Irrelevant Prose Volume 1: Some Shorts Written while Herr Tox was studying in Geneva, these products of writers block and frustration reveal the innermost thoughts of a confused young man as he deals with loss. Includes the classic "Falling Leaves". DBC002(IPTD)-RT.910820 Irrelevant Prose Volume 2: Boxer Shorts If you've read Volume 1, you'll know two things: One, the description for Volume 1 is total crap. Two, you can't live much longer without reading more of Herr Tox's prose. DBC003(IPTD)-RT.911014 Irrelevant Prose Volume 3: Fields of Farmer Brown This third collection of prose from confused young Random contains more than a few autobiographical tales filled with lies, including "More Pasta to You" and "The Toy Animal Diet". DBC004(GWEK)-SB.911017 A Bedtime Story From the mind of Herr Blatte comes a tale to tell as you tuck in your tyke. An enchanting bed-time story, if you can afford to send your child to a psychiatrist. Apparently Snarfblat's parents couldn't, but don't let that dampen your storytelling. DBC005(YLPD)-SB.920207 Elementary School Tales Volume I Further proof of Snarf's diseased childhood, these tales span the years from 1980 to 1985. The original copies were each lovingly scrawled with a fat red pencil, and took up an entire sheet of noxious yellow school paper with wide ruled lines. DBC006(HCOE)-TH.920517 The Book of Egg: The Gospel According to Lem TEHO, the chosen scribe of the Most Holy Egg, translated the original crumbling manuscript of this holiest of documents in hopes that The Gospel of Lem would endarken the masses. Within this Gospel, you will find such parables as "The Healing of a boy with a Demon" and "Bachareus the Spandex-Maker". DBC007(SBTD)-RT.920929 The Parable of the Inherent Holiness of Toast Random Tox embraces the religous of aspects of burnt toast and the cycle of the seasons, explaining it all to a young neophyte. Now you know. DBC008(FIFC)-FH.921011 A Retelling of the Horror Classic: The Monkey's Paw While most retellings are watered-down regurgitations of the original, the acclaimed poet and writer, Fishead, dashes all such preconceived notions to the ground with his masterful crafting of the reknowned Edgar Allen Poe Classic, "The Monkey's Paw". DBC009(WFTA)-SB.921017 Snarfpoems Volume I: Falling Alien Cow Data Gumby falls from space onto a large knitting needle, a heifer wakes from her century-long slumber to dance under the stars, someone pets and strokes their only friend, and writing a poem has never been easier with Snarf's customized instant poem data. DBC010(HMBB)-SB.921206 Bible Black and Walrus Tusks Norton lives in a very special place, and has some very special needs. But someday, somehow, he will find what he fervently seeks, and his captors will all be vanquished. If only he could stop vomiting. DBC011(IKGD)-WA.930122 The Test When friends become overzealous in an attempt to inspire a divine monotheistic presence within their loved ones, things can get tense. Find out what happens when our sadistic, irreligious hero is bound hand and foot in a burlap sack... Because they care. DBC012(WITG)-MB.930216 An Old Battery Collection This is the story of the exceptionally intelligent Thomas Garbo, his lipless friend Garbo, and the burial of Thomas' former pet and best friend, a human-cat hybrid named Felix. On a day when children smoke cigars and the sky drips milky white, Thomas decides to buy a new pet. This is truly one of the greatest stories ever written. DBC013(IFVD)-SR.930311 The Pack We'll let the reviews speak for this piece: "My. This is fucking deranged. Hmm. I'm disturbed now, and need to go make some macaroni and cheese. Your call on this one. I don't like it, but maybe just because it's really cyber-weird." - Redline {DBC/Phn0rd} DBC014(WWWT)-DB.930824 Failed Telewriting Experiments Volume I: The Chouler It was 2am. Random and Snarf were bored. They were tired. They typed a lot of stuff. They captured it. Now it's here for you. Perfect for your coffee table. DBC015(HMBB)-SB.940315 Secrets of the Electric Eels and Other Mysteries Unravelled It all comes down to this. A collection of answers to some of the greatest mysteries ever... Who really shot JFK... The true origin of Ernie and Bert... The truth about 'The Wall'... And the all too startling secrets of the Electric Eels. Are you ready? Brace yourself for an unrelenting barrage of truth. DBC016(LTWN)-RT.940408 Warriors, Colts and Treestumps: Sexcerpts from "Bosi and Herraud" Follow Bosi, a medieval Norse version of James Bond, on his adventures as he finds attractive and well informed girls to temper his warrior and tell him the local news. Actual excerpts from a thirteenth century manuscript, it's wet, wild and wacky fun... The way it used to be! Key to Authors: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RT Random Tox EH T.E.H.O.
