    Yep. I've got some of the coffee table books.

    My buddy at work subscribes to Mad, so I still read it on a regular basis. It's still consistently funny.

    I wish my dad still had his collection. Apparently when he moved out of his parents' house that was one of the first things they threw out.

    I've got a few stacks of issues from the early-to-mid '90s. They're still great fun.

    If still had all the ones I'd collected during the 80s, I might have a small fortune now.

    Or not.

    More likely not.

    I still have some of the Mad Magazines my dad had in the 70s. Too bad the TV show wasn't any good.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    Sasha Shulgin. 88. This is a wonderful movie about him, if you don't know who he is.
