A message from the Director...
------------------------------

      Welcome to the Summer issue of the Durex Corporate Gift Catalog.
 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}

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!
