Re: Golden Brown

I just went through all of my masks and tails and I don't have anything that compares to that color; and I really want to dye some up now. I've got a retired science teacher buddy, I think I'm going to hit him up and try and score some picric acid. Having never tried to buy the stuff, would getting ...

Re: Hot Bunny & Beaver

I like the fly, but I can't get past the name (it's awesome). It sounds like a remake of 'Thelma and Louise'.

The April issue has an article on spiders. Looking forward to getting my first issue. I had forgotten about them, too. I'll give t...
