150. I am trying to find a copy of an article, or essay, or checklist.....something in the NL from the very early '70s in which it listed things that one had to admit such as, "Admit it you bastard that you think Nazi uniforms are cool.", and, "Admit it you bastard that you always thought that Floyd Patterson is a credit to his race". Do you recall this and where can I find a copy of the full text?

Sorry, I don't recall this article at all, but reader vcrogers does: "It's part of "The Guilt Test" in the August 1970 "Paranoia" issue. Page 63, to be precise."

149. Looking for a one frame drawing, no caption, showed two kangaroos in 69 position with their heads in each others pouches. Circa 1972-73. I remember having it silk-screened onto a shirt I wore in gym class in 1974, so it's no later than that.

I kind of remember that one, and I looked through all of 72-73 issues, but didn't see it. If I'd looked at the very next one, the January 1974 (Animals) issue, I would have found it on page 16. (Thanks to Steve for the answer.)

148. I had a subscription to National Lampoon in the late 70s early 80s. And there was a story about a cruise ship sailing through the Caribbean with a huge orgy on board. And I thought it was in poetic form. It had the narrator talking in a Jamaican accent, saying things like 'in there gapin mout'. And I think the ship had started to sink from a hole punched in it and release spermicidal gel in an oil slick on the ocean. Let me know if you know of this article and where I could possibly download it from.
