This month’s issue features the return of columnist Tim Mollen, whose “Lost Journal” is being picked up by more and more publications across the country. Why he continues to favor little ol’ us with his work is a question we don’t dare ask—just as long as he keeps it coming! Of course, Rex is in [...]

Happy New Year, fellow fools. In this issue we’re pleased to present Ted Gargiulo’s “The Future of Cable,” one of the funniest, zaniest pieces we’ve read in quite awhile. The rest of our lineup holds its own, however. Rosie Sorenson checks in with “Blowing Bubbles in North Korea”; John Sammon is proud to be a [...]

I could go on and on about the exploits of our fabulous writing staff, but I only have 150 words, so I’ll focus on two of our writers this month. If you’re looking for the perfect gift for the cat lover in your life, I wholeheartedly recommend Rosie Sorenson’s They Had Me at Meow, which [...]

Thanks for turning to us for your yucks this month, friends. A sort of stage/screen/television theme quickly emerged from our submissions. Rosie Sorenson has a brush with a certain famous actress (I’ll give you a hint; her first name is spelled H-A-L-L-E); Brent Basham talks about a friend’s addiction to infomercials; Ted Gargiulo favors us [...]

“Hot enough for ya?” We don’t often get the chance to say that in Monterey, but with this September weather we’ve been having—oh, wait, I’m supposed to be writing the October “Editor’s Note,” right? Ahem. Happy October, loyal readers! Boy, what an October we’re having! It sure is Octoberlike! The foliage of those Monterey pines! [...]

Thanks to all who came out for our first-ever Foolish Times humor reading on December 11. A great time was had by All. A lot of other people, too, judging from the feedback we’ve received. Clint Eastwood, Doris Day, and John Cleese were among the many celebrities who did not attend. Keep an eye out [...]

It seems we left off the ending to one of our stories last month (see Editorial Corrections, below). Thanks to all who were kind enough to bring it to our attention, as we don’t read the paper. We’ve included the ending in this issue, and if you want to read the whole thing, as you [...]

It’s the month of ghosts and goblins and witches and the World Series and—ahem. Sorry, got sidetracked. And vampires and werewolves. Speaking of werewolves, what’s the deal with Tyler, anyway? Find out in “Treatment,” a humorous horror story by best-selling author J.A. Konrath, author of the Lt. Jacqueline “Jack” Daniels thrillers (most recently Cherry Bomb). [...]

This month we unchained, er, gave our regular columnists some time off for vacation and devoted the issue to spotlighting new writers. By “new” we mean new to Foolish Times (or fairly new-four of these writers have published only once in our pages, the other ten are making their official debut). Many of these “new” [...]
