Rfduck took a minute to focus beyond the edge of his beak to squawk, “Hello everyone! Welcome to another Hump. I just finished reading from a magazine, so today's meme will be about magazines.”
1. Do you currently subscribe to any magazines? If so, which ones?
Yes, I take two and She Who Must Be Obeyed takes two. In my case, they're recreation-specific. Sea-Kayaking and Model Railroading. My wife likes the Lighthouse Digest and Downeast.
2. What magazines have you subscribed to in the past?
How far back? Time, Life, Look, Boy's Life,Road & Track, Motortrend, Off-Lead, Dog World, German Shepherd Quarterly, Cruising World, Pickup, Van & Four-Wheel Drive, Computer Shopper, PC Magazine, Windows Magazine, SysAdmin, BOCA, more codes and zoning crap than I care to recall, etc...
3. What do you do with the little cards that always fall out of the magazine? Do you toss them, or have you found a use for them?
Toss them, often before reading the magazine or they end up all over the floor.
4. If you could start a magazine, what would it be about? Who or what would be on the cover of the first issue?
A bad business to be in today, magazine publishing. I wouldn't start one, if I could help it. They suck the life right out of you. Running one is an eighty or ninety hour per week job for which you'll see less compensation than if you opted to manage a couple of restaurants for Ray Kroc, et.al.
If I HAD to start a magazine, it'd be a “Men's Magazine” called Do It! geared to the 16 to 22 year old male. Right. Sex, drugs, rock and roll, cars and cash. Beyoncé and whomever is the current wet dream equivalent of Britney Spears in a lip lock at the Music Awards, cleavage and camel toes in silver lamé would grace the cover. High-class trash.
Don't look at me like that. It's what sells. I told you I didn't want to...

I don't currently subscribe to any magazines but I do intend to sign up for the Freedom From Religion Foundation's Freethought Today. I just keep forgetting to write the dratted check.
You're right about what sells, I think. The only time I ever buy magazines is around the holidays. Magazines would go broke if all the customers were like me.
Thanks for humping! Maybe you should put Paris Hilton on the cover, because people seem to want to know every little detail of her life.
Wil I'd totally buy your mag and give a copy to every horomonal teenage boy I know.
Love the cat image by the way!
