Dammit! I _should_ be getting a commission on these – you’re the second doper to subscribe because of something discussed here!

Ain’t it great how loving some of them can be? (One tried to rip off my Darwin fish bumper sticker, but couldn’t quite manage it.)

David, I couldn’t belive how many bad looks I got from people with the _other_ fishies on their cars! Then again, I _did_ pull in front of all of them and slowed waaaaay down…

_Maxim_ and _National Geographic_. My reading moods range from sophomoric to educational. I think my wife has also added _Parents_ to our list. A very hefty magazine which makes a handy bug killer or fly swatter. I seldom read it, much to the joy of my children.

🙂 You’d have gotten more than just a “bad look” if you’d done the same to me, I can tell you!

Me:  
Consumer Reports  
Reader’s Digest  
Writer’s Digest  
(I actually got the new issue of all 3 of these today.)  
I used to get Smithsonian, but I let the subscription lapse.

Sister roomie:  
Realms of Fantasy (She’s way behind on reading these, but she’s promised to pass them on to me when she’s finished.)  
InQuest (Same here.)  
Redbook (I don’t read, unless I’m really bored and have run out of LHJ to read.)  
U.S. New & World Report (I read if it’s got something that looks interesting.)  
Ladies Home Journal (I read if I’m really bored.)  
Entertainment Weekly (I might read, depending on who’s on the cover.)  
She used to get Newsweek, but I don’t think she does anymore.
