[QUOTE=Bill Door] Who is it that said pornography is anything that gives a judge a hard on? [/QUOTE] I think it was me. If the judge is anything like me, that places _Playboy_ squarely in the porn category. ---

**Terrifel** , as long as you’re asking Dopers, why not try bringing it up with [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php?userid=1307) Doper? The Occupation listed in her profile suggests that if you send her a link to the thread, she might have something useful to tell you. ---

I know our big used store here in Nashville, **The Great Escape** buys and sells older Playboys. Actually, not that old, I’ve seen early 2000’s. But yeah, there is a market for those. They don’t buy the porn mags. Try explaining that to a guy that is determined to sell his old hardcore porn mags to a used bookstore. ---

[QUOTE=randwill] I’m reminded of Krusty the Clown setting out large boxes marked “Used Up Porn” for the garbage men to pick up. [/QUOTE] “Krusty” probably isn’t a word you should say in a thread about used porn. ---

You might want to check the articles. Yep, that’s what I said. Playboy published short stories such as, _The Fly_ and _Duel_, yep, those movies. They’d be worth more. ---

[/QUOTE] Thanks for pointing that out; I may go ahead and do that. I guess I couldn’t reasonably be blamed if it turns out to be an obscure joke of some sort. I think I may have once listed my own occupation as “numbat polisher” (I do not professionally polish numbats).
