ANNOUNCEMENT

The Notional Pest Croaks

To its thousands of ardent fans who will no doubt be devastated by the news, it is the sad duty of the editors of The Notional Pest to announce with some regret that the national on-line scandal sheet has gone belly-up.  Its publisher, Fred W. Lipschitz, MD, BS, PhD, FRCCCCSCH, VD, OC, etc., said that The Notional Pest will cease publication on 28 January, 2002, when right to the domain name notionalpest.ca expires. 

Doctors at The Abby Lipschitz Memorial Hospital where Angels of the Great Spirit bore the greatly loved scandal sheet to its well-deserved rest would not offer information on the immediate cause of its demise. However a friend, presumably in the know, say it went tits up after suffering an acute attack of trusticular hemorrhage brought on by dismay over the corruption and mis-management of the country's leaders who have reduced a once proud nation to the status of a third-rate banana-republic under the increasingly dictatorial reign of Prime Minister Jean Chrétien.

Fred W. Lipschitz offered hope that the The Notional Pest may be revived at some future date, but until 28 January, viewers who wish to view the last issue and all the stories that have appeared in the Pest during its online existence may do so by clicking on the following link: Last Issue

 


 

The Publisher Of The Notional Pest Croaks

To the thousands of our readers it is the sad duty of the editor of the Notional Pest to announce with some regret that the publisher of the on-line scandal sheet has recently croaked. Fred W. Lipschitz Snr. expired to a lingering illness contracted soon after the last column appeared in December 2001.

Doctors at The Abby Lipschitz Memorial Hospital where Angels of the Great Spirit bore Fred triumphantly into Paradise would not offer information on the immediate cause of his demise. However a friend, presumably in the know, say he went tits up after suffering an acute attack of trusticular hemorrhages brought on by rage over the the increasingly dictatorial reign of Prime Minister Jean Chrétien and the corruption endemic in the Liberal Party of Canada.

His son, Fred W. Lipchitz, Jnr. wishes to advise that the online edition of The Notional Pest will cease online publication on 28 January, 2002, when right to the domain name notionalpest.ca expires. Subject to the availability of resources, The Notional Pest may be revived at some future date, but until 28 January, viewers who wish to view the last issue and all the stories that have appeared in the Pest during its online existence may do so by clicking on the following link: Last IssueANNOUNCEMENT
