FOR OUR HELLO TO 2008

THE GREAT BEEG STUPID-KUPID

ST. VALENTINE’S DAY ISSUE!!!

Some of the stellar contents in JPT Issue No. 6 that will brighten your New Year and make you younger, wealthier and smarter (sorry—nought can we can do about sexier).  You will therein see and read:

Jazz Klassix         A compilation of the best of the best recordings from the Age of Improvisation, drawn from the daze when jazz was an even more obscure cult than today.

Gigantologophilia     On the lost art of hyperbole, subversion and amplification of single words, by one who has been there too often.

Comix      One of our peerless excursions into expository prose, in the name of contemplation, statis and le ennui.  Sure to send you back to peruse your own collection of disintegrating pulp in Plexiglas wrappers.

Kooky Kar Klassix     A survey of costly motors from across the history of the horseless carriage, now on the auction blocks.

One Hung Hungarian       Snoop-story ace Willis Quick delivers, from beyond the Great Veil, another toe-tapping, nail-biting episode from his first novel, The Process of Murder.

Endless Series for Goylz & Boyz    A round-up of those endless adventure tales for kids that still sometimes clog old bookshelves, silently breathing flakes of cheap paper into the holy library quiet.

gsnorri Krollie    Another monitory tale of giant ambition and limited talent gone monstrously wrong, in the story of FM radio’s beloved Bard of Baloney, the Kid from Crimea River.

Etaoin Shrdlu     The sad story of a minor celtic poet, chatterer and folk bard, who never made it to the top of the heap but gamely carried on blathering and uttering such stage oaths as “Faith’n’begorrah!” and “Bejabbers!” to the bitter end.

Whining caesars     Another league onward into that unknown continent of Days of Wine and Seizures, in which are revealed more outlands, drumlins, canyons, cataracts and mysterious outcrops.  Be ready for anything!
