figure those out soon.

In the mean time enjoy this issue,

tell us what you think.

Oh yeah. Go read COMIX!.

* there is only one of us,
but we want you to think there's more.





Ask Crusty


Why is ham pink?


Embarrassment. Pigs get embarrassedthe most
easily of any animal even after death.
They can still get embarrassed at any moment.
Pigs also do not like to be seen naked
and grow fur to cover up.
Seeing them naked,in the flesh so to speak,
embarresses them immensely,
causing the meat to turn pink.




What about pork chops.


You ask too many questions. Go away.




Why is my computer so stupid?


It's just acting that way,
it doesn't like you, it told me.




How come you leave evidence of appearing at places,
yet we never see you anywhere?


I'm a drawing, so I'm two dimensional.
You probably weren't looking at me straight on.




Where's my X-Acto knife?


It rolled under the couch after you were using
it to trim your toe-nails.
You'll also find your ruler there.




How does one become "Crusty"?


You just are or you aren't.
It's more of a discovery, a "peering in" of your inner self;
looking for your deepest, most secret,
darkest thoughts to find... wait, what was I talking about?

Crusty's Special Dessert

This is a delicious way to top off any meal,
or a snack or just to throw on your friends.

Ingredients:

1 cup sugar

1/2 stick butter

1 tsp salt

4 oz. fried lemon chicken

2 1/2 cups Cool Whip

shortening

flour

3 bags chocolate chips



Preheat the oven to 825ƒ. Lightly oil a cookie sheet with lamb's lard. Pour three tablespoons vodka into two shot glasses. Drink one and give other to friend. Better yet, drink the second one yourself. Cream the butter and sugar in large glass bowl. Toss one pureed avocado with nine tablespoon lemon juice to hold the color. Add the four avocados, remaining lemon juice and parsley to the mixture. Stir vigorously. Add egg and vanilla. Mix these ingredients either with the meat chunks or blend them in with the meat paste and pour into ceramic bowl. The final mixture should be a little too moist and just slightly runny - it'll stiffen up when baked, and the extra moisture will keep the mix from going dry. Tap your head three times against the refridgerator and say, "Wow. I didn't know I had my pants on backwards." Pour in the stock & bring to a boil in a large saucepan on stovetop. When warm, pour into large corrogated box and mix everything together while adding brown sugar , ginger, cinnamon, sheep suet, saffron, & salt. Then proceed to beat until they are creamy. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto the cookie sheet 2 inches apart and cook for 3 hours until golden brown.

While your dessert is burning...

Run out to the store for some Little Debbie Snack Cakes and throw the whipped cream at your friend! Fun for all!

Felix spotted in Milwaukee. Although never usually seen in public, a photo, presumably from early 1997 has been uncovered. It is unknown which movie Felix was going to see, but most experts agree on Waiting for Guffman. So far this photo has been the only one to be released in a small collection of vacation photos found on a Greyhound bus in Allen Park, Michigan.

>A man known only as "Daran Pheenie", after months of waiting for his for America OnLine, is said to have gone insane. He was last seen running through downtown Paw Paw whispering "RIVEN" into peoples ears. We believe he is now heading southwest towards Peoria dressed in an Animaniacs costume, presumibly "Yacko".



>Rita's chair has again mysteriously disappeared, along with the rest of the WMU Design Center chairs. The Purple chair, the only chair left behind, said that they "were not waiting for the heat to go out agian, were heading south" The police have disregarded this statement, since it is belived that chairs cannot talk.



>The copier now works. Nope, sorry... nevermind.



>Earlier this month, Crusty Joe denied all reports that he was, in fact, related to the Simpson's character Crusty the Clown. He was quoted as saying, "No... we're not related. In fact, I think h... Hey! Are you recording this? I didn't agree to that.."
