Ricardo: Maxim is so funny. I wonder if it lowers the male self-image in the same way Cosmo does for women. I mean, doesn’t every issue have some way to harden your abs? Do people even wear cologne or perfume these days? I rarely smell any and when I do, it’s usually some fruity scent on a young woman.

Maxim is NOTORIOUS for those smelly cards. I would pick an issue up now and then if I had a trip down to NYC on the train. the smell would embed itself in my nostrils for the whole day which may have been a blessing in disguse considering some of the…..”aromas”…….NYC can dish out.

delmer: wow!! Thanks for passing that on! I love learning “how things work” or “why is that”??

Aaah, yes, there is a lot to be said about LOCATION (all sorts of levels going on here)

I double checked and found this:

I had to drop the high-blow-in magazine for safety concerns as much as anything else (and the content of computer mags is often very similar from mag to mag).

Due to the nature of where I do most of my reading (and you allude to it in your post) I had to minimize the number of cards that might fall out of a magazine and onto me … paper cuts are never comfortable.

delmer: is that how those cards are inserted? Via some blow-in machine? Huh! You are living up to your IT/geek (had to read through a few post to double-check!) self and being very methodical about figuring out what magazines to stop subscribing to.

I wouldn’t think “blow in cards” would be the defining “content” of a magazine!
