More great journals

My reader Alysia was so profoundly moved by the post on the Pharmaceutical and Medical Packaging News that she sent me a journal that comes to her office:

Hey! Is "commercialization" really a word? And does
the illustration have boobs?

I was so struck by a magazine titled simply "BONEZONE" that I asked some friends what the word made them think of. To no one's surprise, a medical journal wasn't one of them. But I did get some good answers, including:

"A hook-up bar."

"Dr. Grumpy's college bachelor pad."

"The new programming package on ESPN3, offering round-the-clock live coverage of professional athletes' orthopedic surgeries."

"The drug company lab where they tested Viagra."

"An ultra-cool artisanal arthroscopy suite."


Feel free to throw out your own ideas, and keep the ball rolling.

Thank you, Alysia!

    I once had my BoneZone insured for $10M in case it ever got torn or something.

    I like that the website is "bonezonepub," which sounds like an English-themed swingers' bar.

    Another magazine with a naked lady on the cover, but without showing the skeleton underneath. "Hey, my February "BONEZONE" just came in the mail! I'll be in my room!"

    Pretty sure it is a word, but they're not using it right.

    A homeowner's association meeting somewhere in suburban America:

    "Great, as if our home values weren't hit badly enough by the subprime mortgage crisis, now it turns out that one of our neighbors was a serial killer. We're never going to get out from underwater."

    "What if we turned his basement into a theme park?"

    The Bone Zone might be the name of the World Championship Dominos Tournament.

    The Bone Zone is an area in a piercing/tattoo shop where men go to get their Prince Alberts.
