Will this madness never end?

A venue of Vanessas

What is it with Vanessas? There are so many of them out there, just desperate to publish my esteemed ramblings. So far, my demimonde of sweet Vanessas includes Williams, at Medtext Publications; Moore, at Juniper Publishers; and the below-mentioned Holmes, working out of Remedy Publications' very own Californian cathouse.

I can't understand why they think I'd pay them to spew my shit onto the interwebz, though; especially when I can do it here, cost-free. Besides, it wouldn't surprise me if this unknown corner of the web has a higher impact factor than any of their garbage-level e-rags. And no bugger even reads it!

If they offered print versions of their publications, then they would at least have calorific value. You can't start a cookout, or line a kitty litter tray, with PDF files. But ne'ermind.

Despite the imminent deadline for the upcoming issue of pay-to-publish intellectual detritus, I won't be sharing her humble request with my friends and colleagues, irrespective of whether they might be interested—they won't. I want to keep them as friends and colleagues. If I received this crap from anyone I knew, I'd take it as an unfriending. Although, come to think of it… (thinking)

Incidentally, and finally, is it even possible to inaugurate a journal that's been in existence since 2018? (confused)

Learning point: a venue is the collective noun for vultures. Geddit? (vultures)
