Of course we remember Acme!



And Playboy? Years ago, it was one of the best sources for fiction around. I remember reading Ray Bradbury, Tennessee Williams, Jules Feiffer and, of course, Jean Shepherd (to name just a few) in those pages. I think my favorite story of Shepherd's was "The Grandstand Passion Play of Delbert and the Bumpus Hounds". Classic stuff back then. They were the first to publish a very risqué essay by Mark Twain ("Some Thoughts on the Science of Onanism"). I still have a few from the '60s and early '70s.

Signor V.

"For me, there's only my wife..."

"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"

"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"

"It was a grass harp... And we listened."

"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"

"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
