This Week’s Most Dishonourable Attire
Get your Dishonourable Unmentionables T-shirt
Dear unmentionables,
It has been a while since my last missive. What can I say — I’m a school teacher on summer break.
Intriguing new followers
What’s the collective noun for a group of girls in their underwear? A honeytrap? A distraction? A semi?
As you can see in the screenshot, Dishonourable Unmentionables has steadily been gaining a following among attractive girls in their underwear.
It took me a while to notice this trend. You see, girls in their underwear routinely follow me around in real life. There are three of them here now, watching me type.
It’s rewarding to know that DU is finally connecting with its true target audience, unless . . . no, I do not believe it. elan kipli, jiharka, Manganti and Davinamesticko, clap or leave a message under this newsletter to show you‘re real!
Dishonourable Unmentionables — the T-shirt!
This is the perfect time for a sizable group of girls in their underwear to show up. I have just the thing for them to cover themselves: the Dishonourable Unmentionables T-shirt.
If you’d like to support the publication, you can order yours at the Teespring Dishonourable Unmentionables webshop for just $19.99.
Cheap satire writing class!
On Thursday 6th August Caitlin Kunkel, the architect of the Second City satire writing course, will be holding a 90-minute online class called ‘Writing Topical Satire — Fast!’ It costs $20 to participate — only slightly more expensive than a Dishonourable Unmentionables T-shirt!
Thanks to Trish Sammer for sharing the course on Facebook. I’ll be there. Will you?
Our latest stories
Daniel Nest is back with two new pieces. RE: Denmark’s Application for Increase in the Sunshine Quota targets Danish weather. Suck it up, Denmark! Perhaps more sunshine will lead to more girls in their underwear and more sales of the Dishonourable Unmentionables T-shirt. (Did I already mention that there is a Dishonourable Unmentionables T-shirt?)
Daniel’s satirical second explores another kind of weather: whether newspapers hold liars to account with due gravity. Read 12 Whimsical Alternatives to WaPo’s “Pinocchio” Lie-O-Meter <here.
Forgetting liars for just a moment — or are we? — Robert Bush popped his Dishonourable Unmentionables cherry with a playful peek into the sex lives of the British royal family: The Camilla Diaries — Part 1 and The Camilla Diaries — Part 2.
Robert’s Duchess of Cornwall would have a blast and a blow at the establishment featured in Viggy Hampton, MPH’s latest piece. Viggy imagines a frat house setting up as a B&B in Zagat Review of the ΔIXK Bed and Breakfast.
If staying in a frat house isn’t your idea of hell, hitha has you covered in The Divine Comedy: Inferno — Quarantine Edition.
Finally, read the wholesome slice of life in Philip Cane’s A Heated Game of Scrabble. If you’ve ever wanted to call a family member the c-word, this one will give you a couple of vicarious thrills.
A new one from me
To break the monotony of our weekly Zoom call, my mother set up an online Escape room for our extended family a couple of weeks ago. The next day, I published a poem based on the experience in No Crime In Rhymin’: How a Virtual Escape Room Led to My Family’s Doom. Give it a look.
Thanks for reading!
Cheers,
Peter
