MadC--I love the dancing girls!

And I love the rocket ships.

Hmmm.

MadC--viva la differance!

I love the Rockettes... that's sort of a compromise, right?

The FATE magazine covers are awesome, but they hold no candle to the covers from Weird War Tales (http://www.comic-covers.com). Now those would make an excellent wallpaper for my nerding room.

RevJ--as soon as WU makes us rich, we'll revive FATE MAGAZINE!

Nick--we've learned that FATE MAGAZINE is still up and running. Perhaps they could do a piece on PSYCHO SOCCER MOMS FROM HELL!
