Plus, in the Lives of the Cowboys, a smooth-talking southern preacher talks Lefty into sitting on a "whoopee cushion of faith," and the latest from the epicenter of news in Lake Wobegon, the Bon Marche Beauty Salon...

I was remiss, by the way, in not mentioning that the cover artist for this issue is none other than our own piranha. I am not exaggerating when I say that there are well over a hundred images of zirs that I would have loved for this. I am a huge fan of zir photography and zir eye.

Thanks, Fishie!
