Becomes First American Company That Should Have
Paid Trillion Dollars In Taxes" here's the B3ta
newsletter: late but hopefully quite readable -
and if you'd like to support our work here,
please consider bunging some money into the
Patreon. Thank you loyal B3tans, maybe we could

: B3TA FANTASY FOOTBALL
  Your secret code to join in

  A few years back we hated football but then we
  quite enjoyed the recent World Cup and realised
  we didn't hate football, we just hated second
  division 1980s football in a economically
  depressed Midlands town.

  Anyway, the point is TownsendsPublisher invites
  you to join in the fantasy football stuff with
  a B3ta League "Best of luck in the race for
  second" he says.

  League code 1475540-438206:

: QUOTE OF THE WEEK
  Chairman of British Onions speaks out

  In the endless shit about Brexit there's been a
  recent scare that an onion shortage could fuck
  up the essential British Cheese & Onion crisp
  supply.

  "When I took the job representing British
  growers as chairman of British Onions, I
  imagined it would be the quietest of jobs. And
  all of a sudden it's the worst year in our
  history."   (Tim Elcombe)

: QUESTION OF THE WEEK /GOLD/ - SEXY FOOD
  Twix Of Doom

  We've dug into the archives to bring you this
  classic of sexual experimentation gone wrong:

  My first girlfriend and I were together for
  about two and a half years. A few weeks before
  we split up we went on a short break to Cartmel
  in the Lake District, renting a cottage from my
  auntie's boss. We had a nice time there,
  wandering around the priory, eating toasted
  teacakes and crumpets in a small tea shop, but
  a more deviant event was on the horizon.

  "Would you eat something out of me?" she asked
  one evening.

  I confess I was rather bewildered and wondered
  what she could mean: A banana? Some chocolate?
  A pie? I suggested these things and she decided
  that a Twix would be a good idea.

  The next morning we walked to the local Spar
  shop and, being a chivalrous type, I allowed
  her to choose her Twix. As the chocolate was
  slightly soft I suggested that we should maybe
  put it into the freezer for a while so that it
  wouldn't melt in a flash (amongst other things)
  and she agreed.

  "I'm ready," she said late that evening. She
  went upstairs before me while I retrieved the
  Twix from the freezer, following in her
  footsteps moments later. When I reached the
  bedroom she had already undressed and was lying
  on the bed, her legs apart. For a moment I
  wondered how I was going to do this: do I
  actually remove it from the wrapper or do I
  shove the whole lot in? Do I put one finger in
  or both of them? I didn't want to ask as I felt
  this would just make her nervous and would
  hardly instil confidence in the poor girl as
  she lay there, legs akimbo, about to be
  penetrated by a chocolate bar. I decided to
  insert a single finger and opened the wrapper,
  suddenly noticing that the chocolate was
  covered in a slightly grey sheen of
  condensation having been in the freezer all
  day, and was also as hard as a pavement, my
  thumbnail failing to leave an impression when I
  tested it.

  "This is going to be cold," I warned before
  introducing the Twix. She gasped as it slid
  inside and I left about an inch of it sticking
  out. For a moment I looked at the rather
  ridiculous and mildly scary sight before me,
  before bending down and biting off about half
  of the exposed finger of Twix.

  Without warning the whole thing vanished inside
  her. Gone. I panicked, completely baffled,
  wondering what I should do. I didn't think it
  would be The Done Thing to prise apart her
  labia like a mechanic lifting a bonnet before
  rummaging around inside, so I just lay there,
  staring, wanting to cry for a moment.

  And then a thick, brown liquid began to ooze
  from her pubis. Terrified that it would ruin
  the sheets – which, after all, were not ours –
  I thrust my hand between her thighs and caught
  the melted chocolate as it dribbled out, but my
  hand quickly filled and I was then forced to
  consider what I was going to do with a hand
  full of rather hot melted Twix as I could
  hardly say "just crimp yourself off, love – I
  need to go and wash my hand", so screwing my
  eyes shut I licked it off my hand while my
  other one was slowly filling.

  Then, just as I thought it couldn't get any
  worse, the biscuit base popped out, completely,
  eerily clean, stripped bare of chocolate and
  caramel, like an albino penis. I pulled it out
  and, hands full of chocolate, quickly ate it
  while I awaited for her sugary genital deluge
  to stop.

  I don't think I've eaten a Twix since.
