Time:  an unseen but often felt something which fugits along in a straight line until a harrowed author needs a plot.
Fan-mag:  a stack of sloppy sheets stapled together, containing Rick Sneary-like spelling, horrible art work and excuses.
Fan-mag editor:  one who promises your money will be returned if the second issue fails to appear.
Sucker:  you, when you ssuscribe.
Convention:  a gathering of booze hounds, poker players, book salesmen, pickpockets, axe-grinders, dirty story spreaders, and outlanders who attempt to pass resolutions condemning Amazing Stories..
Number one fan:  biggest jerk.
