Sheep!
I almost wish I were a sheep farmer, just so as to be eligible to read Sheep! magazine, surely the most enthusiastically named trade periodical ever. The cover of the current issue has an adorable picture of a lamb and a kitten on it, and features such intriguingly entitled articles as Golf Course Sheep Poo a Threat to Public Health, Wether or Not (aha!), and Herd It Through The Grape Vines. Fantastic.
This approach to magazine titling is probably not transferable to other professions, sadly. A pharmaceuticals trade rag called Drugs! probably wouldn’t find its way onto the lobby coffee tables at Gigantopharm UK PLC, for example.

I think the news that kittens are Sheep deserves the exclamation mark!

I had to share your comment about Drugs! with a friend. Is there a hacker magazine yet with just the title “!!!11!11ii1!” ? :)

Heh, quite. The nearest I can think of off hand is 2600, which is pretty literal, referring to a frequency used when messing with phones.
