Eve Ensler, Vagina Part Ways Over Creative Differences

NEW YORK (DPI) – Eve Ensler and her vagina issued a joint statement today announcing the end of their longtime partnership. The pair shot to stardom nine years ago with the Obie award- winning The Vagina Monologues and has since built a vagina-centric media empire. Vaginas familiar with the situation report that Ensler failed to spend a fair portion of her earnings on "frilly things" and spa treatments. Ensler's spokeswoman said the split is amicable, but suggested that Eve's vagina has complicated matters by insisting that its picture be printed alongside Ensler's in all future Playbills. Men forced to attend the play with their wives seem to support the vagina's cause. "If I have to hear about it for two hours, I'd at least like to see it in full color," said reluctant theatergoer Dale Wynn.

Bush Administration Uses Hand Jobs to Whack Unemployment

WASHINGTON (DPI) - President Bush today announced that he has signed an Executive Order officially reclassifying masturbation as "hand jobs," thus adding millions of jobs to the economy. When asked how hand jobs would contribute to the economy, the president pointed to former White House reporter/male prostitute Jeff Gannon as a shining example. Community colleges will receive "glory hole" grants to construct facilities for hands-on hand-job training. Online training will be offered through various porn sites for those preferring self-paced instruction.

Britney Spears to Star in New Reality

HOLLYWOOD (DPI) - Physicists at UCLA announced today that they have created a new reality for pop singer Britney Spears. Explained Dr. Emil Hooke, "For many years, Ms. Spears has seemed out of place within our universe, undergoing inexplicably rapid sexual development, faster-than-light marriages and emitting irresistible attractive forces, all seemingly against physical laws as we understand them. In our labs, we have been able to create a wholly separate plane of reality where Ms. Spear's phenomena will be consistent with our artificially created laws." Spears will only be able to contact our universe through the E! Network and the National Enquirer.

Next Pope to Ooze Coolness

VATICAN CITY (DPI) - An anonymous Vatican source says that in an effort to shore up declining Catholic Church membership among young people, Vatican leadership is pulling together a short-list of "cool" names for the next pontiff. Supposedly, the next pope will be hipper than his predecessors and more in-tune with what youths are looking for in a spiritual leader.

"In 1978, everyone was more familiar with the Beatles," said the source, "so when Albino Luciani decided to go with John Paul I, that was cool -- trend setting, even. About a month later, we took it one step further with John Paul II."

According to the source, top contenders in the name pool are said to be:

  • Pope Urban VIII - "Urban! How much more 'urban' can you get? The last Urban was only pope for 12 days, but medicine has improved quite a bit since 1590."

  • Pope Hilarius II - "Young people today love a good joke."

  • Pope Lando II - "Star Wars is very popular with the young people. A black pope named Lando would be a great idea."

  • Pope Britney Christina - "Well, why not? It's high time we had a woman pope, and the young girls revere these two chaste young ladies. Although it's a bit of a reach, the idea is getting a lot of play in the Vatican chambers."

  • Pope The Rock - "Okay, this one's a tad awkward. Still, it's got that 'upon this rock I will build My church' thing going for it."

  • Pope Laa Laa - "Suggested by Cardinal Piccoli, who has a Teletubby fetish."

  • Pope Doggy Dogg - "The current front-runner. Pope Dogg's direction for the future of the church is already being set to rump-shakin' rhymes on a CD named Strictly 4 My Parishonaz, just in case."

The source noted that the final choice will be up to the new pope, but the name recommendations will be stressed heavily. "If left to their own devices, we end up with popes Eleutherius and Innocent. We just can't have that in 2005."

Ask Zarxnol




The premier child psychologist on his home planet
Xargolia before being called to the service of his
Warrior-God Xargol as a conqueror of lesser worlds, Zarxnol
happilly adresses the child-raising concerns of our readers.


Dear Zarxnol,

My husband and I were invited to celebrate Thanksgiving with his step-brother and his family at their house. When we arrived, we found their youngest child dressed in a princess costume from Halloween. It seemed a bit strange, but children do like to play dress-up, so we just overlooked it... until she whined about everything. She kept screaming in a very high pitch that actually hurt our ears. The girl's mother kept telling the girl that if she didn't stop, she would have to go to her room. She didn't stop, and her mother never followed through. My question is what my rights are as a guest. Would it have been acceptable to say something? If so, what?

Stumped in Stillwater


Stumped:

Are you certain that the offending moppet was wearing a costume? Her comportment and irascibility mirror those of actual royalty. I am assuming Her Royal Highness lives outside your Stillwater, thus not bound by the political structure you and Mr. Ped so small-mindedly presume to be common and uniform throughout your region.

[Sigh.] Yet again, I must instruct a human about its own "culture," history, and civic structure. Stum, you encountered no princess. Since the lace-bedecked imp is indisputably the superior in the household, and it is known that her progenitors were present, passive and powerless, the Youthful One most logically is the provincial Queen.

Within Her realm, the Queen sets all laws, rules, and customs -- both expressed and understood - as to your "rights" as a guest with respect to articulating displeasure with her company. Unless these rules were publicly posted, it was wise of you to kowtow to common courtesy and cravenly address these issues behind Her Royal back and out of Her domain.

Wiser were you still, Stum, to inquire of Zarxnol, Xargolian Conqueror of Lesser Worlds as to how to plot Her overthrow! Aha! Indeed, I recognize now your true question! At last, a puny human got one over on me -- I equally congratulate and despise your cunning, Madam Ped.

Remember XIC2, Stum: Never underestimate a living opponent. Although your adversary is but a child, She had to acquire Her crown by some means other than inheritance. With Her youth as evidence, Her forces must have usurped the crown for her quite recently, thus they are necessarily depleted. With troop-strength superiority and the element of surprise on your side, the only proper technique is a full frontal assault. Crush Her before She can put the spoon back down in Her bowl of Lucky Charms between bites! There will be heavy casualties, of course, but the majority of those who ingest the war blade as their last meal will be Her forces.

Nigh is the day that Stumped of Stillwater shall eradicate utterly the dominion of the Shrill Queen MiniBitch! All hail Queen Ped as her Stillwet Ascendancy grows, engorged on the realms of trifling pink-lace-laden tyrants!

Until I crush and enslave her in Xargol's righteous name, of course.

Regards,
Zarxnol
