Hi, I'm filling in for the other guy. His mommy made him go to bed early.

He said that since he flunked out of college, he's boycotting books & magazines,

Super Chevy.

I wouldn't really classify it as "reading"... more like enjoying the pictures.

Tiger Beat - I can't get me enough of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez! OMG! I hope they get married and stay happy forever and ever and ever!

I'm not sure, I have many favorites. But the names of all of them end with .com

Hey, I like sports, always have. Sorry if it offends you. My husband warned me to expect comments, which I knew since I check these enough. Thanks for not disappointing.

I agree Nikki. I always pick SI up in the waiting room of the doctors office. It is full of well written articles and amazing pictures. Love sports!!

punkrockmom 1 year, 9 months ago

Yeah. No big deal. People just have stereotypes in their heads.

"autie (anonymous) says… I do not understand. I thought magazines were to be inserted into the weapon, most usually from the underneath."

True enough. I enjoy reading "Colt Industries" on the bottom plate. I have several hundred copies.

"Left Handed Magazine" is also out of print.

Ron Holzwarth 1 year, 9 months ago

Is that right?

No Swank or Cherry?

Come on ljworld would you publish comments like this if one of the people you asked on the street responded with smut like this? No you would not, so why do you allow it from these anonymous losers. They think it is funny but all they are doing is making your paper look like a joke.

Used to love the Reader's Digest. It pays to increase your word power, you know. You can also bend the pages & break the spine to form a little Christmas tree. Spray paint it, throw some glitter on there - best 3rd grade art project ever. except maybe for the paper mache moraccas.

The video version of Frankfurter Weekly had this to say about the never ending condiment debate:

Esquire - mine Garden Design -ours Johnny's Seed catalogs - mine Prevention - hers BH&G - hers Kansas Magazine - ours

about the Esquire - read it at the barbershop a few years back, had a really great article so I sent in the card & started taking it. They are so ridiculous. Features lotsa Interesting people, but the mag is pretty much full of itself. They do this automatic renewal roll-over thing. Very sneaky. missed opting out the last two years.

Bacon of the month magazine

"The KC Star does that. I quit subscribing. Treating one's customers like crap is a good way to lose business".

I could not agree more. We quit the Star earlier this year just for that reason. When the carrier handled the billing we did not have a problem for over 20 years, then the Star went to in house accounting and the service went to hell. And when we canceled, they kept throwing the paper and billing us. I know their financial numbers are in bad shape and I am surprised they are still in business.

Tough probing question today. My interests and attention flits from one magazine to another, so I can not name one I enjoy the most. That would like asking Brigham Young "which of your 55 wifes do you enjoy the most?"

But allay your fears, for when I enter my chamber of escape, privacy, solitude and sanctuary, to read from a magazine, I can sit down with the reassurance that the walls will stop 5.56 green-tip tungsten penetrator rounds.

"I bet old Martin Luther rolled over on that one" - autie, Hell autie, you don't know your small catechism. Good old Marty was a hip happening dude for the 1500s. I think he would chuckle. That saying the "full monty" is bastardized pronunciation from the "full Marty"
Yeah, he was in a similar situation.

Is it just me, or are magazine subscription renewal letters becoming more and more ridiculous? Earlier this year I paid for a 2-year renewal on a magazine that still had almost two years left on it. About three months later, my wife did the same thing - same magazine. So this subscription is good through something like July of 2017, and I just received another "Your subscription is running out! Renew Now! Last chance!" letter from them last week.

But to answer the question, my favorites have changed over the years. Notable favorites: Hit Parader, Sports Illustrated, Cycle World, Car Craft, and Stereo Review.
