    There is no spoiler in this post.

    New thread as Westfalen suggested, as my copy arrived this morning.

    I don't usually rush to open it, as I try and be good and finish whatever else I have on the go first, but following the 'preemptive strike' thread I was curious.

    I did find the 'fool', and a couple of other possibilities (one I was sure was it) on the way. But I'm saying no more for now, except that it did have me strung along for a while :embarassed:

    They're good at that. What escaped my eye was that alien in the cab of the F-unit several years back.

    My copy is at home in Sherman, and I won't see it until I get home next weekend (and I ain't a-tellin', niether!)

    MR's Aprils Fools joke here seems to involve pulling their rag from the two local stores that (used to) sell them. Appears as though I may have to subscribe again if I want to see it on a regular basis...either than or make a 400+ mile round trip to the nearest outlets that might carry MR...

    I was not impressed. They even let on at the end what it was. No wondering if you really found it.

    That wasn't intentional; it was the result of sloppy photo editing (it had been shot as a joke) and ended with reprimands for the people who let it slide, as I recall.
