[msutter]

90% of the pages in magazines are ads. No thanks

it's only 5.99 an issue at the news stand. some may consider that pricey but if you subscribe it's only .37 an issue for 1 year. .25 an issue for a 4 year which is a gamble since they won't be around that long.

Thursdays used to be such an exciting day to get home from elementary school, as that was the day SI was delivered to us

Loved those Thursdays. And they were on time too unless your neighbor got it by accident

They give me some deal where I pay a total of $2.00 for a year of issues. Only catch is you have to contact them before the year is up to cancel. When I do that they give me the same $2 rate for the next year. I've been in this cycle for 5-6 years now!

With each swimsuit issue those SI executives had to know they were helping 10 million little boys jack off who couldn't find their dad's real deal stash

Used to like sports illustrated for kids because they had the cards. Had the tiger woods card. But it was all bent up

[slayer14]

Yeah I always use to get that mag and bizzare mag and hide it in my room where my mum could not find in my room

[BigOrange]

Even the swimsuit issue sucks now with the Transtesticles, Porkers, and the Muslim in full garb.

Had 3 magazines when I was growing up. Sports Illustrated, Sport Magazine, and Boys Life.

Print swallowed up by the internet

[TheMoneyShot]

25% of America doesn't even know how to read English

The other 75% watch porn.

I guess it was only a matter of time?

When i was 12 and on vacation i sneaked down to the basement area of relatives home because their one son who was in his 30s was still living with them

everyone was outside enjoying the pool and sun, music and food and i carefully looked through his stuff.... careful each time to move something but to put it back exactly how it was

i found his stash of mags and very carefully looked through them, not to put them out of place besides the few i would take with me

he had such a big pile that i knew by taking just 2 of them that were near the middle of the pile he wouldn't know they were gone for weeks, maybe months and never make the connection or wouldn't care as he was in his 30s and living with his parents

i snuck them out tucked inside of my pile of swim clothes and towel, etc in a bag and once we got back to my grand parents house i got them inside and scoped out a perfect little spot to stash them until it was time to pack up everything back into the car and head home

getting home with the mags and being home free was one of the best feelings i ever had as a kid - i knew then i was sneaky and smart, very careful and could pull off a lot of stuff in life that normal people can't

i remember feeling proud as i pulled them out on the weekend to showoff to my cousin who was 1 year younger and who didn't believe me when i told him the story over the corded telephone

Hopefully, they'll get rid of the body issue.
