Tuesday, March 4, 2008 at 10:09 AM back when i still lived at home id buy hustler magazine and they would always come packaged with those little mini magazines for weird stuff like nude old women or nude fat girls. i didnt want them to be found in the garbage so id hide them in a drawer. Over time they started to build up and one day my mom opened the drawer and found a stash of old lady and fat girl porn. it was quite awkward. —a_is_the_biggest_number |

Edited Tuesday, March 4, 2008 at 1:15 PM I was a Details subscriber back when they were more like Maxim. Then they went almost gay, but they consistently hire some of my favorite writers so I stuck with them. I subscribed to Maxim for awhile, but quit reading it because there was so little content worth reading. Plenty of hot chicks, but you can find them just about anywhere. Once I get out of the poor house I might add Esquire. Outside is a consistently great magazine with one of the highest cover price to page ratios ever. I pick up back issues from time to time. —bguirk |

Yeah, I don't get the point of subscribing to those magazines at all. The mailman put the neighbor's issue in my mailbox last month. I thought 'hmm, I'll take a look at this baby before I put it in his mailbox.' But as I leafed through it... I realized how lame it was. I guess when you have easy access to anything from Glamour Shots to the most debaucherous porn you can think of, Maxim/Stuff/FHM serve no purpose. Two of my favorite authors do write a column for one of those magazines, but they post them on their website. —miyagi-sama |

I subscribe to Mad. That's about it.
Hey, didn't Adam (at least) once liken Men's Health to soft-core gay porn?
Hey, pookie...When I was like 19, I worked at a bindery. One of the accounts the firm had was Wilson Quarterly. We all hated that one; it was a real bitch. I don't remember exactly why, but I think it was a combination of awkward size/shape, and shear volume.
