COVER


THE PIT ISSUE 11, Vol 2 - 12/01/06
The new year's first edition of The Pit!

PAGE 1
COVER STORY! With Father Time V.2005 committing seppukku, Justin Graham looks back at the last six months to document the top five films of the (half) year. That just does not roll off the tongue.

PAGE 2
EVERYBODY LOVES MARLOWE! You might not even know what he does, but without this fellar, things would begin to wobble I reckon. Marlowe details a little known facet of the game. Say, what good are those pets anyway?

PAGE 3
HTG's first madame de la amour is here! An all-new, Prozac ridden 'Ask Annie'! Joy!

PAGE 4
Thought you had your day planned out? Think again, because Hand is here to help you survive the coming month. An all-together-vague-so-as-to-seem-specific-when-really-it-
is-quite-broad horoscope!

PAGE 5 and PAGE 6
A super-duper-deluxe edition of The Pit is now available for your reading pleasure. Watch RS romp through the recently concluded Comic Con on The Magazine's dime.

PAGE 7
An opinion's like an a**hole; we all got 'em and they all stink. However, you might be pleasantly surprised by the degree of literacy managed by this piece. It didn't need a spell check.

PAGE 8
Sydias' 'Hit and Miss' returns - Christmas style! Straight up yo. Oh, and don't forget to check out 'The Photo of the Week.'

PAGE 9
An all new CAPTION CONTEST! Are you ready? Also, aforementioned intrepid reporter RS takes you to school. On how not to give an interview anyhow. In reality, The Pit gave him a five hundred dollar expense account to set up this interview. He spent it all on Ray Bans.


PAGE 10
HTG's Gossip page! Masterminded by Sydias, that mongrel dog of a reporter, who will do anything short of murder to get the story.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

"I didn't ask to see you. I don't mind if you don't like my manners, I don't like them myself. They are pretty bad. I grieve over them on long winter evenings. I don't mind your ritzing me drinking your lunch out of a bottle. But don't waste your time trying to cross-examine me. " - Philip Marlowe
