I always enjoyed sports illustrated back when it was a real magazine.

Not everyone had easy access to Playboys.
These had to work until you found one, then it was like the Holy Grail.

Weekly Reader. We were too cheap to get Highlights. But my cousins loaned me their old copies.

As I aged up from kiddie mags, my goat mags were MAD, Cracked, Famous Monsters of Filmland, and all DC superhero comics. For unremembered reasons, I rarely got Marvel comics, other than Fantastic Four sometimes. I think the place I bought my comics (K&B) mostly didn’t always carry Marvel options.

In 1970 it was mad, sports illustrated then the sporting news and the ring and boxing illustrated

K&B had the best selection of magazines. Almost as good as a Barnes and Nobles for the time.

This is the only correct answer! Bra section in the Sears book made it move for me before I even knew why it was moving.

Since I just responded to the viagra thread perhaps I should order a few of these books again from EBay to see if that will make it move again without pills.

I got my parents to get me a subscription to Sports Illustrated when most of my friends were still getting SI for kids.

I thought I was pretty badass.

When the Russians were in a quagmire in Afghanistan. Marine bombing in Beirut. El Salvador still a shite hole. Wonder what all those bushmen are up to now.
