#5 Yep Walt. A portrait camera dismounted and with the lens bellows retracted? Altho the viewfinder and the hand-straps kinda make it look like some weird Hybrid Speed Graphic.

#8 It's been a strange damn ride.

"Tales of Uncle Mike” began as the editorial for the March, 1977 issue. If you didn’t see that, you’re shit out of luck, and have to send us $1.50 to get one. Or send us a picture of your wife or girl friend in flagrante delicto with a pony. That won’t get you a March ‘77 National Lampoon, but it will make your life more interesting later on when you’re rich and respectable and you remember that we have the photograph in our possession. Anyway, these particular “Tales of Uncle Mike” aren’t about Uncle Mike at all. But it’s the same_____, Ohio, where I went to college a dozen years ago or so, and where Uncle Mike was a math instructor, and where we both had more fun than we’re likely to have again soon, says the doctor.



How Uncle Mike Met His First Wife

Tammy Omertti, Uncle Mike’s first wife, was a tough lady. She always carried a .38 in her purse—something I’m sure Uncle Mike didn’t know the night he met her. She was pretty, too, and built USDA Prime.

Uncle Mike used to drink in a place called Mac and Flo’s, down an alley off ______’s main street. In fact, it was there that I met him myself. He was out on the bar’s little porch, banging his head against a cinder block wall. When somebody introduced us, Mike stopped for two seconds and said, “Hi. How are you?” civil as you please, and went right back to banging his head. He says he doesn’t remember why.

One night, Tammy and a girl friend wandered into Mac’s while Mike was on a toot, and when Uncle Mike got a look at Tammy, he almost fell down dead. She was a dream come true, he says, an Italian—which Mike is—vision of paradise. Or would have been if she’d had a plate of spaghetti carbonara with her. (That’s Uncle Mike’s comment, not mine.) Anyway, he was in love, so he walked over to her table and said, “I got fifteen dollars. Wanna fuck?”

She threw a bottle at him, and he went running away, laughing and howling and tipping over chairs. But he wasn’t so happy when he got back to the other end of the bar, and for the next half hour he stood there, looking sheepish and getting drunker until, at last, he bought two quarts of beer and took them over and gave them to Tammy and her friend. “I’m sorry. I don’t know what came over me,” he said, “I’m really sorry. I want to apologize. I really do. I’m sorry that I said that about the fifteen dollars. I only got ten!!!”

There was such a commotion that Vinny, who owned the place, had to come out from behind the bar with his ball bat, and Uncle Mike and Tammy were married two months later.

Holler if you got the tale of Uncle Mike and the dynamite.

#11 That man is a fantastic writer. His On a Wealth of Nations was very surprising. Anyone who can bring humor to Adam Smith has a special talent.
