36. God Bless You. God Bless You.
Been watching WKRPon WGN Sunday nights and she is so much more lovely than Lonnie Anderson but I guess it is all a matter of tastes.

The magazine has had for many years a trademarked yellow border around the edge of its cover.

There are 12 monthly issues of National Geographic per year, plus at least four additional map supplements. On rare occasions, special issues of the magazine are also created. The magazine contains articles about geography, popular science, world history, culture, current events and photography of places and things all over the world and universe. The National Geographic magazine is currently published in 31 language editions in many countries around the world. Combined English and other language circulation is nearly nine million monthly with more than fifty million readers monthly.

26. Runner's World
Not that I have a particular cover in mind it is just that the font they use is (I think) the exact same one that Penthouse used. I have caught myself walking through my own house and catching a bit of the Runner's World from that month and my mind is triggered and it thinks "OOOH!! PENTHOUSE! BOOBIES!!!" it is a conditioned response.

28. This classic from RollingStone



and the early December 1978 covers of both Time and Newsweek with shots of Jonestown. Newsweek in particular was pretty graphic.

31. I can't find a picture, but it was the Sept. 12 (or so) 2001 Village Voice
Picture of the World Trade Center exploding, and the headline was a very simple:

"THE BASTARDS!"

41. College football fans might remember this one


After upsetting then #1 Michigan, the Ducks graced the cover of Sports Illustrated, which most SI readers know carries a jinx.

The Ducks promptly lost their next game, losing to Washington State by 39 points and went on to lose three of their next four games.

No one likes the Ducks much here in the PNW. Their dirty Nike money comes from Asian sweat shops and their uniforms make people want to vomit. If they ever played a game on the "smurf turf" at Boise State, my eye balls would explode.
