New Magazine: Let the games begin.

In a related matter, Poetry Magazine has succumbed to a hostile takeover by the NRA and will henceforth operate as Poems & Pistols. No word on what triggered the takeover, other than the dual meaning of "Magazine," but both entities promise a high-caliber publication.

Subject: [GWL] New Magazine Spawns Possible Garden Critter Solution

Garden & Gun, a new Southern lifestyle magazine, will hit newsstands in 
April. The publication will reflect "the modern lives of affluent
Southerners and those who aspire to the sporting life of the South," 
according to a company statement. Garden & Gun's unusual title comes from a
club of the same name, which operated in Charleston, S.C., from 1978 to 
1985. Publisher Rebecca Darwin said the magazine aims to be more upscale and 
targeted than mass-audience titles like Southern Living.

Marlin Firearms must have had a heads up on the Guns and Garden magazine. 
They have introduced a small, smooth bore .22 rifle that shoots .22 mag. 
snake shot.  It's marketed as "perfect for getting rid of chipmunks, mice, 
snakes, and other garden pests", sort of a mini shot gun. Without the loud 
blast.  It will be called the "Garden Gun".

Folks, I can't possibly make up this stuff.  All of the above is from press 
releases that have crossed my desk in the last 48 hours.
