Pat's gender revealed!
For the past 13 years I've wondered whether the Pat in "Pat Pollari" was a man or a woman. (I was a kid who had way too much time on his hands.) There was hardly a wealth of information in 1997 (but I do remember a Barf-O-Rama website way back when.) Well, now that there is a wealth of information, I've done some digging and "Pat Pollari" is a pen name of Katherine Applegate (author of the Animorphs series, among others.) So there you have it! Pat is a woman!
Joke Book found on Amazon!
The mysterious Barf-O-Rama joke book has been spotted on Amazon.com. Unfortunately, the cheapest price is above $30! So, apparently the book was published (earlier I said it wasn't), but it's apparently extremely rare!
Barf-O-Rama club members wanted!
If, when you were a kid, a member of the Barf-O-Rama Club, we would like to hear from you! We especially want a scan of the club card along with other club goodies, and scans of issues of "The Gross Gazette". Please e-mail me at atari2600land@yahoo.com!
Book cover scans
Here are 15 of the books' covers. I don't have #16 or #17, and I don't know if they even exist. But anyway, click on a cover to see it bigger. Unfortunately, the things on #1s 1 and 6 are NOT stickers, they are actually printed over the artwork.
