oink out hogwash. That pig-headed slop will give you literary

heels and earn our spurs with an unbridled, triple-crown edition
that comes at you full gallop. Don't pull up lame with
blinder-wearing, one-trick pony newsletters that should be put out
to pasture. Neigh! We put them down and make dog food out of those

Times is the King of Cool!

afford. That poor man's journalism is a day late and a dollar short!
Come further your fortune with a well-to-do edition loaded with an
embarrassment of maritime riches. A real luxury, the Telex Times

repeal of domestic vessel tax...Gearing down, we grind to a halt
with a bumper-to-bumper, gridlock edition congested with a pile-up
of industry items. Hit the brakes on slow-moving, low-flow
newsletters that'll leave you fuming and overheated. Those

way!

Maritime unions meet with Coast Guard...FRC issues report...CG Auth
bill passed by House...Maersk/Waterman swap-out...In a
perch-and-pounce, wise owl edition, we swoop down and sink our
talons into the wide-eyed news of the week. We ruffle the feathers
of swivel-headed, fly-by-night newsletters and clip the wings of
those screeching, mouse-eating bird-brains. Come take flight with
the pellet-spitting barn boss of newsletters that rules the roost.
The Telex Times is a real hoot!

NASSCO...Piracy up...Horizon has Marine Highway plan...Talking
trash, we sift through the rubble and toss out the latest industry
scraps as we salvage the maritime pick of the litter. Refuse those
throw-away, bottom-of-the barrel newsletters that'll get you down in
the dumps. That soiled, load of rubbish is just "garbage in/garbage
out" and belongs in the circular file. We kick them to the curb, cut
through the clutter and rummage through a junkyard gem of an issue
that will spoil you rotten. At your disposal, the Telex Times is the
top of the heap!
APR 11, 2008
Latest
T-AKE launched...FRC elected...Clinton, Obama responses to M.E.B.A.
questionnaire...From Marlboro Country to Tobacco Road, we light up
an addictive, hard-pack edition with the low-tar, full-flavor
maritime items of the week. The Surgeon General has determined that
yellow-teeth, hack newsletters are a real drag and may complicate
pregnancy. Those nicotine-stained, cancerous butts should only be
inhaled in designated areas. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!
Take a puff of the non-filtered, hand-rolled Telex Times -- It's a
hard habit to break!
APR 04, 2008
Maersk
reimbursing TWIC costs...New fireboat contract...FRC coming up.
Great Lakes news...Take 5! Putting in our 2-cents worth, we watch
the industry 24-7, 86 the competition and count you in for the whole
9 yards of 3rd degree news - 100% guaranteed. We have zero tolerance
for 4th rate, dime-a-dozen weeklies that bite the big 1. Their days
are numbered! The 8th wonder of the world, possession of our
newsletter is nine-tenths of the law. To sum up, first and four-most
the Telex Times is second to none!
MAR 28, 2008
Dutch
speaks at convention...Discovery Channel films on Interlake
ship...Truck plows into Houston hall...In a primetime, hotshot
edition, we get down to the nitty gritty to give you your fair share
of maritime razzle-dazzle for the jet-set. Take a chill pill from
the mumbo jumbo in doom-and-gloom, ragtag newsletters with no rhyme
or reason. Those humdrum, cellar dwellers are double trouble! Get
back on track and take a sneak peek at the bee's knees of weeklies.
The super duper Telex Times is the Real Deal!
MAR 21, 2008
109th
National M.E.B.A. Convention...EPA to cut ship emissions... Come
enjoy the fruits of our labor! We plum the depths of the industry,
keep you up to “date” and bring you the most “currant” maritime news
in a real peach of an issue. Blowing a raspberry at the competition,
we beat the pulp out of pear-shaped, sour grape newsletters that are
rotten to the core. How do you like them apples? The top banana, the
Telex Times is ripe for the picking!
MAR 14, 2008
School
gets approval for online STCW course...TTD, MTD statements on
TWIC...Next T-AKEs named...RECs transition...In a senior,
gray-haired edition we present time-worn maritime wrinkles in a
"good old" issue not seen since the days of Methuselah. Stop kidding
around with baby-faced, ankle-biting news reports that were born
yesterday. That child's play should be seen and not heard! Put in
your teeth, pull up a rocking chair and retire with the "elder
statesman" of industry weeklies that's aged to perfection. The
granddaddy of all newsletters, these are the golden years of the
Telex Times!
MAR 07, 2008
P.A.F.-supported member wins seat in FL State House...Forms released
for Reunion...Smallpox vaccine changed...What's the word? We go
cover to cover in a novel, literary volume citing the latest
maritime news chapter and verse. Shelve those non-binding, dog-eared
newsletters that publish fiction. That spineless pulp isn't worth
the paper it's printed on. Author, author! A real page turner, read
between the lines and thumb through the first-edition Telex Times --
it's one for the books!

M.E.B.A./MSC ships in the news...With a lot on our plate, we get fed
up and go back for yet another helping of industry items in an
overindulgent, voracious maritime feeding frenzy. Don't spoil your
appetite on meager, indigestible newsletters that are hard to
stomach. Tell them to get stuffed! Come gorge yourself to excess on
a ravenous glut of news that will feed your insatiable hunger for
knowledge. You too can be a compulsive over-reader - you just can't
get enough of the Telex Times!

you through the wringer! They just don't pass the smell test! We do
the dirty work, take them to the cleaners and hang them out to dry.

reputation is spotless!

Lantos dies...NCL-America makes a hard decision...Nadler visit at

break-up edition that serves you your maritime walking papers.

the road Jack! Tell them you found someone new...it's not you, it's
us. The single-minded Telex Times stands alone!

doublespeak. Its the same old-same old! We pooh-pooh them and send
