 TONY'S ONLINE TIPS
 for Thursday, October 6, 2005
 
 
  What happens in Vegas allegedly stays in Vegas, but here's a 2003 photo of the Isabella family at the Paris. I didn't like the city as much as I thought I would, probably because within an hour of our arrival, while I was walking with my family, a creep tried to hand me a discount coupon for a brothel. Charming.
 
 But I would like to visit Vegas again. Especially the C.S.I. labs. Those look really cool.
 
 I'll be back Monday with more stuff.

| THE "TONY" SCALE 
 
  ZERO: Burn your money before buying any comic receiving this rating. It doesn't *necessarily* mean there's absolutely nothing of value here - though it *could* - but whatever value it might possess shrinks into insignificance before its overall awfulness.
 
 
  ONE: Buy something else. Maybe I found something which wasn't completely dreadful in the item, but not enough for me to recommend it when there are better comics available. I only want what's best for you, my children.
 
 
   TWO: Basic judgment call. I found some value, but not enough to recommend it. My review should give you enough info to decide if you want to take a chance on it. Are you feeling lucky today, punk? Well, are you?
 
 
    THREE: This denotes something I find perfectly respectable. There are better books out there, but I wouldn't regret buying this item. Based on my review, you should be able to determine if it's of interest to you. Let the Force guide you.
 
 
     FOUR: I recommend anything earning this rating. Unless you don't like the genre, subject matter, or past work of the creators, I believe you'll enjoy this item. Isn't it uncanny how I can look right into your soul that way?
 
 
      FIVE: Anything getting this rating is among the best comicdom has to offer. You should buy/read this, even if the genre/subject matter doesn't appeal to you. It's for your own good. Me, I live for comics and books this good...but not in a pathetic "Comic-Book Guy" sort of way.
