Mamalia Americana
If I walked in and that guy had a gun on the mantel and boobs mounted on the wall, I would call the cops (and report him for having criminally bad taste).

I can confirm that Florida is 90% swamp and alligators. Please, do not come here. We will fight the alligators for you.

I feel like the word "tarnation" needs to be used in this caption somewhere. I bet she taught him how to play cards, too.

How to Strip Your Baby
You know, I don't envy the guys who had to figure out how to keep a bunch of young soldiers, probably drafted, paying attention long enough to learn shit that could save their lives. Then again, they did come up with some really freaky shit. And they certainly employed big name talent in the process.

the boys said okay - - feet first
There's something that I really, really enjoy about this cover. The man's face, determined, hers, adoring. Her hand on his back, the gun in his hands. Even his watch and the pattern of her dress.
