Quote of the Month:
"!" - Jay Leno upon hearing he was being replaced on 'The Tonight Show'. Again.

Surprise of the Month:
Snow. That's right. Snow in January in the Northeast seems to take the media by surprise every year. Let me take away some of the mystery by using some advanced math to explain the situation that seems to elude our media outlets every single year. Here goes: January + Northeast U.S. = Snow. I hope that decodes the weather pattern mystery in the Northeast once and for all.

Thank you for tuning into this week's episode. Next week :
              J.K. Rowling regrets writing Casual Vacancy altogether. So do we.
              Man finds pinky finger is perfect fit for right nostril, but still too snug for left to be effective.
              Man auctions off girlfriend on e-bay as a joke. Winning bid goes to organ donor association.
              Tim Tebow capable of happiness and earning a living in absolutely any situation.
              God surprised that Tim Tebow delivered a baby; says, "I didn't know he could do that!"
              Dennis Rodman regrets NBA career, but not body piercings.

FARCE Views

If you're not careful, Time will throw a bag over your head, throw you in the trunk and you'll wake up naked with a tag on your toe that says 'the man that time forgot!'. Live life like it's worth living. - FARCE Editor

At some point in this new year we at FARCE Magazine recommend, to ensure that you have a little adventure and fun in 2014, that you try doing some of the following activities:
1.  Run into a complete stranger, grab him desperately by the collar and shout, "What year is it, man? Am I  
     too late?"
2.  Dance without music. Anywhere. Except maybe in church or at a funeral.
3.  Every time you kill a bug whisper loudly, "Such is the destiny of all who oppose me."
4.  Walk by strangers and wave politely at someone and say "Hey Phil, nice to see you're out again."

It's a short list but they'll keep you occupied if you're as simple as we are.

Thank you for tuning into this week's episode. Join us next week when someone throws eggs at the FARCE logo and screams maniacally that Ulchar the Destroyer will slap the silly gilly fish with a bacon strip.

If you have read this far you should stop and re-examine your life. Perhaps there is something more meaningful that you could be doing right now, like cleaning the bird cage. Still, thanks for hanging around.

If you are an amateur cartoonist or humor writer and are interested in contributing to FARCE Magazine, please, let the editor know at farcemagazine@gmail.com. He will check his e-mail as soon as he gets out.

Humor

Question of the Month
Online analysts have projected that Cyber Monday sales will reach $2.27 billion this year, making it the highest online shopping day in the nation’s history. What do you think?

“Well, if this fast food workers strike gets me a raise I might be able to afford a computer this year, and maybe next year I’ll be able to afford internet service, and then in three years maybe I’ll be able to cyber shop. That is, if the Affordable Care Act doesn’t bankrupt me first!” – Sally Falk, McDonalds Fry Cook, Salkirk, NM.

“Wow! With the economy as bad as it’s been the last few years it’s really nice to see the corporations finally getting deep into our pocketbooks again.” – Bob Wullf, Cabbie, NY City.

“And I want it all!” Jeff Bezoz, founder and CEO of Amazon, Inc., Seattle, WA

Amizonimus Prime ((AP)) Asocial Press
(Seattle) - Amazon founder Jeff Bezos recently announced Amazon’s plans to both “Sell everything on earth to everyone on earth” and then to “deliver it by drone”.  

“It is our intent to sell, literally, absolutely everything on earth that is sellable to every living human being” Bezos said in an interview with CBS correspondent Charlie Rose. “And because we want to redefine how we deliver our products I thought really hard how we can get better. And then one night, I saw an NSA drone spying through my office window and it hit me. Drones!”

The intent to use drones is driven by speed. Packages within a 10 mile radius of one of its distribution centers would arrive within 30 minutes of the order being placed online. No more waiting days for trucks to deliver packages on your front porch that should have been delivered to the house across the street. Now those packages can be delivered far more rapidly to the wrong house.

Reportedly, orders for plastic explosives and nuclear waste have jumped dramatically as al-Queda and other terror organizations’ operatives are jumping at the opportunity to avoid those messy suicide bombings and simply have the explosive devices delivered to the crowded bus station or hospital of their choosing by Amazon.

Unaffordable Health Care
(Washington) - The Obama Administration reported that Affordable Care Act sign ups ‘exploded’ in the month of November. Unofficially, the total number of citizens seeking affordable health care and actually signing up on the government web site now stands at six.

“I have publicly stated that if this Affordable Healthcare Act helps even one person get health insurance, then it would be worth all the hard work,“ said the President . “Mission accomplished.”

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney believes that by years end there should be several dozen signee’s making the 600 million dollars spent on the government web site a ‘real bargain’.


Vatican Being Proactive on Sex Abuse after only about a Thousand Years

Pope Francis is assembling a panel of experts to advise him on sex abuse in the clergy — a task that will involve looking at how to protect children from pedophiles, how to better screen men for the priesthood and how to help victims who have already been harmed.

But it remains unclear just who these experts will be and if the experts will take up one of the core issues behind the Catholic Church's sex abuse scandal: how to make bishops who shelter abusive priests accountable.

The meeting place for this as-yet-unnamed-group is logistically challenging as it must be located away from schools, day care centers, parks, playgrounds, Chuck E. Cheese’s, and other areas where children are known to frequent giving what some are calling ‘insight’ into just who these experts really are.

A special thanks to whomever invented the indecipherable wingding font. Obviously they are direct descendants of the Mayans , Egyptians, or cousin Eddie in New Jersey.

A heart-felt Thank You to FARCE Magazine's reader.You know who you are and you'd better hope we don't find out.

Thanks to Jeff Bezos of Amazon for giving the guys on Duck Dynasty more targets to shoot when package delivery by drone begins.

My apologies to the Catholic Church and the victims of child abuse suffered at the church's hands for making fun of a serious problem.

Thank you President Obama for making even former President George W. Bush look good in his second term.

And finally, thank you again Carrie Underwood for being even sexier than Faith Hill.

 Thank you for checking out the newest edition of FARCE Magaizne.
My apologies for the short issue but I am working hard on illustrations for a book project about crowd funding for the film industry. You know how it is; work hard on what pays and have fun with what doesn't! The next issue of FARCE should be back to its old self. See you then.

HUMOR



FARCE News
((AP)) Asocial Press
Free Ride
(MINNEAPOLIS)   A 9-year-old runaway went through security, boarded a plane at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport without a ticket and flew to Las Vegas.
Security officials screened the Minneapolis boy at the airport shortly after 10:30 a.m. Thursday after he arrived via rail, spokesman for the Metropolitan Airports Commission Patrick Hogan said. The boy then boarded a flight that left for Las Vegas at 11:15 a.m.

Dale Brunswick, an airport security TSA agent, when asked how a boy with no ticket could slip through security replied, “Well, he was quite small.”

Also found on the plane was a family of badgers nestled in a first class alcove who also had no tickets. Rumors that Waldo was also on board remain unsubstantiated.

3-D Printing Tech to Aid in Mars Exploration

(Philadelphia)  Mars exploration scientists are excited about the potential for 3-D printing on Mars.

Says Daryl Merrellininski of the private venture capital funded Mars-Or-Bust (MOB) exploration team: “Our first human visitors to Mars are in for a rough existence in a very harsh environment and it is critical that we provide them with the absolute best equipment to help ensure their survival. 3-D printing is an exciting advance in technology that provides us the ability to provide adequately for our astronaut’s needs. The first thing that they will want to print in 3-D is a Wal-Mart.”

Reportedly a Red Robin will be printed on the second mission.


Peace Talks Reach Accord in Record Time
(Jerusalem)  Israeli and Palestinian negotiators held a new round of talks on Monday, picking up the tempo of their meetings at the request of the United States.

"As the Americans requested, we are upping the tempo of the discussions," says Israeli delegation member Ibram Abba. “And we are delighted to inform the press that we have dispensed with the typical months long process of diplomat-speak and have already gotten right to the issues at hand.”

“Yes,” added Palestinian delegate Sherman Mamoud, “We have reached an accord in barely 8 minutes of discussion wherein we have established that we Palestinians hate the Israeli’s with every fiber of our being and will never live in peace with them.”

“And we, in turn,” Mr. Abba agreed, “hate their guts just as much and will never live in peace with them. These negotiations are officially over. See you next year.”

Both men were pleased as they shook hands and then went to get cappuccino’s.




Question of the Month

The Government shutdown has all the National Parks closed. What do you think?

“Thank goodness. With all the chaos in the world today the last thing we need is people walking leisurely through the forest!” – Peter Scollettini, Small Fork, Vermont
 
“It just makes it easier for NASA to keep track of us.” Jon Pahosk, Scranton, PA

“I’m really impressed with the measures that they’ve taken to keep people out. I mean, those orange pylons are very intimidating.” Mary Nivens, Seattle, Washington.


And in conclusion...


Welcome to Joel Wilhelm and thanks for bringing the Sheltered Life to FARCE Magazine. Let's hope it doesn't hurt your career.

Just a reminder to our reader (reports of this mystery person living in New Jersey may not be correct) that FARCE News is not entirely accurate. We're pretty sure that we cannot 3-d print a Wal-Mart. At least not until the licensing agreements are done.

Thanks to the motorcycle enthusiast 'group' in New York that drove erratically around an SUV (at one point in the video you can see at least 7 bikers clustered across three lanes all around the SUV creating an extremely unsafe driving situation) and caused an accident which resulted in scaring the man driving the SUV (who happened to also have his wife and young child with him) enough that he ran over one of your biker friends; because it just may be the most tragic and idiotic events I have ever seen and reaffirms my belief that driving is the single most dangerous activity most of us will ever do and we will do it just about every day and there are some out there that just don't get it. Maybe now you do.    Now, excuse me while I step down from this soap box.

Y'all come back now, ya hear?
