Hello! How are all you folks out there in subscriberland? I bet you thought Dead Pig Digest had ceased to exist, since there hasn't been an issue in months! I bet you thought we had forgotten all about you! Well, there's a very good excuse for why our 'weekly' publication has not reached your virtual mailboxes for what probably seems like decades to you ... a very good reason indeed: We're incredibly irresponsible. Ha ha! 'That's it?', I hear you asking. 'That's your excuse? Is that all?' To which, of course, the answer is 'Yes'. Ha ha! Anyway. We apologise for the long wait. We're sure many of you, for lack of your precious Dead Pig Digest, have contemplated sticking barbed hooks into your brains to end it all. At least, you would have if you are truly loyal subjects of the almighty Dead Pig himself, Bruce, bless his fetid organs. But not to worry, we are finally back on track, and hope (the word 'hope' should not be construed to mean 'will') to be bringing you the digest at least roughly on time from now on. If we can be bothered. Ha ha! Enough kidding around, down to business. Dylan and I have been very 'busy' in creating Dead Pig #39 on the Web! Yes, that's right, and in order to access it, set your Web Travelling Device to http://gco.apana.org.au/~snrub/pig/ and there will be a US mirror kindly set up by the ever faithful Dead Pig Accolyte Sky,the address of which will be forthcoming shortly. The special edition web issue is filled with all your favourite Dead Pig segments (assuming your favourite Dead Pig segments are the ones we chose to put there), including 'Snoutline', 'Movie Review' and the ever-increasingly lame 'AAAAARGH' archive, as well as animated pictures, not-animated pictures, and even a sound byte! That's right! One whole sound bite! We would like very much to receive any impressions/opinions people have of this site and its quality, or lack thereof, so email us at Dead Pig with any comments that may pop into your net-poisoned little minds. We'd also like some kind of indication as to how many of you actually bother to go there. (But you should - we promise* its really very funny and wonderful.) Anyway, hope you enjoy Dead Pig Online, and we'll be back next week with a regular email issue of the Dead Pig Digest. Have a nice time! *The word 'promise' is used incorrectly in this sentence.
