    Man, this just made me think how awesome it would be if I still had my subscription to The Nation and snuck copies into my fox news watching uncle's house.

    i have a subscription to Cat Fancy magazine

    cat fancy, for fancy cats

    my friends got it for me as a best man present when they got married, along with a $100 gift certificate to chipotle and a zippo lighter and i've kept the subscription going ever since

    how many pages is it? and si it glossy? It's my dream graphic design job...

    not too thick, around 150some pages, i think. glossy paper, lots of ads but ehh, thats magazines. even more adorable cat pics. also the articles are pretty interesting as well. def worth the read through.

    Oh yeah, how could I forget The Nation? Quite fond of it too.

    I want ALL THE MAGAZINES. All of them.

    Even the weird British spank mag.

    Details is okay. Last I read it, it was still trying to find 'its voice', if I may. GQ and Esquire are fairly good men's mags, but I find Details less bogged down by ads.

    Also just about all lady mags suck butt.

    GQ - awesome articles, even if you don't give a shit about men's fashion and culture

    e: I should clarify that I mean there are some awesome journalistic articles. Generally these are closer looks at people in (and out) of the news.

    I last read the New Yorker in a dentist's office and found it on the dry side.

    I used to get Latina (free, for whatever reason), which is very shallow and boring, Elle or Ellegirl, can not remember (so many articles about how drugs are awesome), and some other generic teen fashion magazine that I tired of rather quickly. I used to get Game Informer too, which I still find to be the best gaming mag available, but I haven't renewed.

    But it would be way more amazing if you had been subscribing to them both at the same time, bits.

    I tried to get into The New Yorker but I guess I'm just not classy and highbrow enough.

    The only magazines I routinely get and read front-to-back are...

    National Geographic. Obviously.

    And Saveur. I still buy Bon Appetit because I love me some gastroporn, but I find that Saveur has really engaging, interesting articles on a wide variety of food-related topics and also top-notch recipes. I don't know if your parents are that interested in cooking, though.

    I also read The Believer and Gastronomica (when I can get them, they aren't available for purchase here) and Granta but those are less like magazines and more like small bi-monthly tomes.

    that is an excellent idea!


    also, the place i used to work at in college got magazines, and i would browse through issues of seventeen and teen vogue, going straight for the embarrassing letters section. there were always horrifying poop stories, or farting in front of your crush stories. they were awesome!

    Also Mountain Bike Action. Not that it's particularly good, but they usually have pretty up to date reviews for bikes and gear. Sometimes I pick up Bike or Decline.

    I used to read a ton of Mad magazine when I was younger. I noticed it's still around, but is it any good? Probably not :(

    One of my friends made an entire magazine for me titled "Chad Fancy" (my name is Chad). It basically was cat fancy but instead of pictures of cats it was pictures of cats wearing human clothing but with my face pasted over it. Wierd? Yes. Hilarious? Yes. Restraining order? Maybe.

    About a year and a half ago, I started getting Martha Stewart Living. Now, 1) I didn't purchase this subsription 2) nobody I asked about it bought it either. It was pretty puzzling considering they had my name and address correct. About six issues come to me before i figured out I had been to a new development condo and filled out the questionaire. Turns out they had bought the subsreiption in my name and didn't let me in on it. Really wierded me out for a while before I found out.

    well, in the area my parents are living there were the pre-getting-married mormons who would blush at anything having to do with sex, and the post-six-kids mormons would would probably happily chat away about their uterus prolapse, so I guess it depends!

    We had friends over one Saturday night, and one of my friends mentioned that he kept on seeing a silhouette in the patio window, so I went out there. It turns out the cat fancy girl was just chilling in my patio. I invited her in, and she ran off into the night instead, calling me a cheater. Keep in mind we weren't dating, or had anything going on like that ever. No restraining order, but our friendship took a turn for the worse after that.

    Too bad, she was p. cool otherwise.
