<p>The wait is almost over. The third issue of your favorite humor magazine with an avian founder will soon be available in convenient paper format. Dubbed &#8220;The Choleric Issue&#8221; our latest features 40 pages of brand new content including&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li><em>50 Least Infectious Diseases</em></li>
<li><em>New Additions to the Periodic Table of Elements</em></li>
<li><em>Doomed Love Stories</em></li>
<li><em>Shouts and Berbers (A Carpet Column)</em></li>

<li><em>Receipts From Nightmares</em></li>
<li>A Free Toy and much more!</li>

<p>To help pass the time, might we suggest <a href="http://www.whimquarterly.com/order/">catching up with Issues 1 and 2</a>?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many steps involved in the production of a high-quality, paper-based, comedy-entertainment product. Right now we, the diligent staff of <em>Whim Quarterly</em>, are firmly rooted in step #57 (paring down references to the French Revolution) and looking toward step #58 (increasing the number of knock-knock jokes). In other words, we&#8217;re right on schedule.</p>
<p>Other key steps involved in this very difficult process:</p>
<ul>
<li>#18 &#8211; Experimenting with the replacement of the standard four color CMYK printing process with the highly controversial 21-color IMNDGOWYEIGNDLDIGPQDX printing.</li>
<li>#96 &#8211; Visiting local Masonic Temple and having high priests copy-edit the Contributors section.</li>
<li>#163 &#8211; Tweeting about what Dame Judi Dench decided to wear to the SAG Awards.</li>
<li>#7221 &#8211; Staff pizza party (no gluten, no dairy, no meat, no black olives).</li>
</ul>
<p>As you can see, we have quite a ways to go, but Whim Issue #2 should be in the mail around March 15th.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Tuesday, December 15, 2009<br />
8:00pm &#8211; 10:00pm<br />
Three of Cups Lounge<br />
83 First Avenue<br />
New York, NY</strong></p>
<p>We&#8217;re just days away from unleashing Whim, our new humor magazine, upon the world and who knows what will happen? Will humanity be forever changed for the better? Or will the magazine do what Robert Oppenheimer feared the atomic bomb would do, namely ignite the atmosphere and incinerate us all?</p>
<p>On the off chance that the Earth is not reduced to ashes, join us for the Whim Quarterly launch party. We&#8217;ll have $4 drinks and, as entertainment, a stand up show hosted by TV&#8217;s Kevin McCaffrey and featuring Whim contributors:</p>
<p>Elliott Kalan<br />
Josiah Madigan<br />
Matt Pack<br />
Matt Passet<br />
Greg Volk</p>
<p>Plus SPECIAL GUESTS Jared Logan and Luke Cunnningham</p>
<p>AND EXTRA SPECIAL GUEST Wyatt Cenac of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart</p>
<p>Consider it an early Christmas celebration, only with more booze, more laughs and a lot more tears.</p>
<p>Hope to see you there!</p>
