  1. A Tarzan convention?

    Seriously?

    If Star Wars fans dress up like the characters in the films, do Tarzan fans dress in loin clothes? That could be very ugly…and pasty…and probably pretty flabby.

    And the blurb on Buck Rogers put happy images in my head of Erin Gray. SiiiiiighErin Gray.
