Classic NLRH Online Soon. According to National Lampoon Radio Hour producer Alan Donnes, the entire library of classic NLRH shows will be available via subscription download on Audible.com within two months. After all these years, I will finally have an answer for the hundreds of people who have emailed me over the years looking for "The Mad Vandal" and dozens of other bits from the show.

Sometimes an O is just an O. 
What's the story behind the those centerless O's in the National Lampoon logo? I always thought there was something slightly lewd about them, something to do with breasts perhaps. Prompted by an email query from a reader about this, I went right to the source and asked Michael Gross, the guy who designed it. Michael replied, "No thought intended I assure you. Just plain common type trying to be a logo. The guys before me had used a bad typeface and I just tried to make it more of a logo. Had I started from scratch, it would have been different... and tits never entered into it. Good guess
though. Ha." I feel like somebody just told me there's no Santa Claus.

Caddyshack alums reminisce about the movie--and Doug Kenney in particular--in an article that appeared in the April issue of Golf Digest, Cult classic an homage to Doug Kenney. (I don't know how I missed this. Not that I pay any attention to golf whatsoever. Anyway, thanks to Richard Levinson for the tip.)

Meet "Modern Mirth." Erstwhile National Lampoon contributor Richard Levinson has announced that he and several other others (Bill Martin, who wrote "Elephant Parts," and Jeff Mandel, who contributed to a few NatLamp LPs) have started a new vanity humor site together. You can see it at www.modernmirth.com.
