Welcome to the world of the Carp. This being the first issue of The Carp Chronicles, we the editors and staff wish to welcome you, our supporters and readers, to the world of carpdom. You will see no price tag on any copy of The Carp Chronicles. We feel that to take money for such a fine and noble cause would be an attrocity. This paper is as free as the spirit of this fine carp.
This spirit of freedom applies not only to the price, but to the feeling that goes behind every article that is published in this paper. Our sole purpose for existence is to carry on the never-ending fight against monotony, mediocrity and pompous beurocrats. We can only take this first step down the long winding road to success. You the readers must take up the banner from this point and carry it onward to
the heights of total insanity! |
