How about "Hooked"? Or even "Stung"? :shrugs:

Seriously though, I quite like the current title (whether in one or two words): it gives a good idea of what the publication is about without sounding overly dull or mysterious.

But what would be on page three, Ralph?

Pouting Astrophytum myriostigma nudum?
Or curvy Gymnocalycium denudatum?

Cor, hot stuff!

Well, to maintain some decency, it would have to be Echinopsis seminudus, of course. :grin:
