READ ALL ABOU TIT.....

Once again Playpen magazine, already a member of the TV Crossover Hall of Fame, has made an appearance in Toobworld, and in a natural setting - that of a private room in a sperm clinic! (It's where we found it in an episode of 'The Medium'. And although it wasn't in a sperm bank, but rather a prison cell, that's the reason why we saw it in an episode of 'Ally McBeal'.)

FBI Agent Seeley Booth was making a deposit in order to provide the Lovin' Spoonful. of Pearl Jam which his "partner" Dr. Temperence 'Bones' Brennan needed for articial semination. And as an inspiration aid, Playpen magazine was offered - with Sherrill Watts was on the cover.

No idea if Sherrill Watts was supposed to be a real person or not. Plenty of candidates listed in Google, but this one jumped out and made me smile:

A number of taxi firms specialising in carrying animals and their two-legged companions around Wales have opened around the country, including Animal Taxi in Llanelli.

Set up by Sherrill Watts, who adapted her van for animal use after bus drivers were reluctant to accept her large dog, the company expects to find most demand in taking pets and their owners to the vet.

"I found some bus drivers would accept my large Alsatian cross on the bus, while others would not," Ms Watts told BBC News.

The animal taxi driver emphasised that her company could also help pet owners who are currently unable to take their pet on holiday with them due to transportation problems.

"Many people would also love to take their pets with them on holiday, but cannot due to transportation problems," Ms Watts stated.

"Animal Taxi can take your pet to your holiday destination and pick it up again when it's time to go home."

Oh yeah, I can see her tele-version being a worthy candidate for the cover of Playpen!
A new magazine was introduced in that same episode of 'Bones', and it could be from the same publishing company: Playpal. (There may have been a poltergeist in the room - as you can see, the pile of magazines got reshuffled pretty quickly!)

Either one looks like it could have helped to get the job done - if Booth hadn't been interrupted by Stewie Griffin...... BCnU!
