What kind of last name is “Signorile”?
AWESOME. Oh, and Italian. But mostly AWESOME.
How exactly do you pronounce it?
Simple: “Fuck you, whitey.”
No, seriously.
Seriously, it is pretty simple, as long as you completely ignore the way it’s spelled. It’s “Sig” with a hard “g”, “nor,” and then “elly.” Sig-nor-elly. No, I don’t know why we say it that way and not the way this guy does. Maybe we just like being difficult?

Who made your masthead?
A lovely young person by the name of Toby Simmons. You can find more of his work here.
Why are you so obsessed with your cats?
Because they do things like this:
