...through your pheasantries that my crocodile tears fell so fast I thought I needed an eye-viper. It gladdened my hart to see the tears had fallen into the glass. Instantly I addered a mastiff slug of raw animal spirits, with ice-"crocs on the rocks"-thrush snaking my thirst in a swallow. Delicious. Pity I had no horse d'oeuvre. Such a stag party may never be held again. On the otter hand, I wonder wether the savoir-fare of your report could be repeated? Please pardon my chick in asping, but to meat my wish, please...

With a record 1,000,000 visitors expected next summer, Bulgaria is merely taking the sensible step of providing a local Coke supply and cutting import costs...
Sands of the Kalahari. A hired plane crashes and burns in the wastes of South-West Africa. Out of the flaming wreckage crawl six survivors: five men and a woman. Their plight unknown, they face an ordeal by sun, sand, hunger, thirst and, as it turns out, sexual desire. Who will live? Who will die? Who will prove his strength, or weakness? And who will get the girl...
