Welcome, humans, to the second fab-u-luxe trip into the depths of the rumpus
\nroom. As promised, this issue is devoted to \u201cThe Search for the Elusive Perfect Love,\u201d a topic near and dear to all of our hearts, presumably. The chat this time has pretty much come to the consensus that love may be out there, and even be worth the painful efforts to find it, but . . .<\/p>\n
IT JUST DON\u2019T COME EASY<\/strong><\/p>\n All in all, this was one hell of a gripe session to put together. Lots of folks bagged on their initial promises to write stories, but that\u2019s okay. Illustrations required hours of thumbing through the books and magazines littering my overstuffed apartment. Without going into the messy details (other than the ones you’ll read about in twenty-one pages), I ran the full-scale of emotions connected with an unsuccessful bid at romance, only to be left with a good story to vent in the rumpus room. Also, I have found myself dirt-poor after putting out issue 1.1, which was slower to catch on than I might have hoped. I don\u2019t even want to get into everything that\u2019s gone down since my family read the last issue . . .<\/p>\n Bitch, bitch, bitch. I’ll stop wallowing in self-pity now (cut me some slack \u2014 I just woke up to a rainy Saturday morning in a messy apartment) and get on to the glories of the hot little number you\u2019re holding in your hands. This time around, I\u2019ve invited a few friends, and even a stranger, to spout off on the topic at hand. The results are a nice mix of laughs, fun, and pathos. Like I said last time, this is not for the squeamish or the faint-of-heart: the personal commentary can get pretty raw. On a lighter note, though, we have free stickers in every issue!<\/i> Seven in all! Paste \u2019em to your cat, paste \u2019em on a friend, collect and trade with friends!<\/p>\n Welcome, and remember to wipe your feet at the top of the stairs. There are some snacks and Cokes on the mini-bar, so help yourselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Welcome, humans, to the second fab-u-luxe trip into the depths of the rumpus room.
