Okay, the boat has run aground once again, but somehow (fast swimming monkey butlers or something) you are able to receive a single magazine subscription. Which would it be?
Is there a survival magazine out there to help out with those sand-pie recipes? Would you keep up on world events? Get Modern Bride to help you get those fires started, what with all those pages. Is there a Monkey Butler Fancy magazine to keep those little SOBs happy?
Myself, it would have to be good old fashioned visual stimulation for all those lonely nights. Penthouse all the way.
I am loathe to admit this, but Entertainment Weekly would be my choice.
It’s weekly so at least I’d get new stuff to read every few days. That’s how I rationalize it, anyway.
Time, Newsweek, and all other forms of news magazine are out of the running. I’m stranded on a fucking desert island, what do I care if the rest of the world is going to hell in a handbasket?
The New Yorker? Nah. I’m stranded on an island. Who cares if Bobby Short is still playing at the bar in the Carlisle Hotel.
I don’t want to know anyone else’s opinions. I can’t have any input into politics, can’t attend any art openings or go see any exhibits. Anything having to do with those is going to be wasted on me.
I think Mooch hit the nail on the head. Give me a subsrcription to Penthouse and have the monkey butlers bring me something to drink.
I’d pick one of those large magazines (like computer shopper or one of the photography mags) where the first half is glossy pages (good reading, good firestarters) and the back half is regular paper without the slick finish.
Greywolf73, nuthin’ to be ashamed of - I really like Entertainment Weekly, too.
But I think I would pick the New Yorker - yeah, yeah, cliche’s about snootiness and all that, but it is well written, interesting, insightful and quite entertaining.
Those are the two magazines I flip through and read most of cover to cover each week…
If I have a good supply of pencils or equivalent, GAMES. Otherwise, Reader’s Digest. The former would keep me relatively busy, and the latter is at least a good variety of material.
