    1. That makes me wonder about "market research." But then again, I AM "Norman" on anything and everything official.

  3. Norman?? You're Norman?? You don't look anything like the fat guy from Cheers. Or the 60s-era first-baseman for my Tigers. . .

    Ya gotta like that 83%-off 'trial offer', dontcha? Careful, tho. . . I think they're tryin' to get ya hooked. . .

      Three times a month... when those checks come in (well, metaphorically speaking: it's direct deposit these days, to Norman).

      That price makes me wonder how they can afford to keep publishing.

    2. Makes me wonder about their profit margin on the full-price subscriptions. . .

  4. Lately, I have noticed that several of the "older men" blogs that I sometimes visit show more and more mild porn - nekkid women shots. It makes me uncomfortable.

    1. Ooops. I've been known to post a naked woman or two.

    2. You are not a married man looking at other naked women - not quite so weird.

    3. I'm relieved. Sorta. ;-)

  5. I haven't had an offer like that in ...gee, I can't remember ...how many years.

  6. Heh. I know better than to touch this one.

  7. HEY! Where's my offer? I feel left out! Just not "upscale" enough (or "dirty" enough, lol) to merit attention, I guess--or do they scan for marriage? Heh. Better purge all my cookies--these damn marketing algorithms are too damned ever-present.

  8. I think mailing lists get sold and bought. How much is the subscription to Jugs Magazine going for, nowadays?

    1. Ha! You think I'm gonna answer that?

    2. When we lived in NYC, I met a lot of interesting people. One night I was out for beers with a group of journalist types (I married a magazine journalist) and I met the guy who edited (and wrote most of the copy for) Juggs magazine, as well as other related titles.

      When I inquired about his work, he said the single best thing I've ever heard anyone say in a bar about their job, ever:

      "The ladies inspire me."

    3. Heh. Now THAT'S the sort of literary salon I want to hang with.

  9. I don't think I've seen a Playboy magazine in 30 years or more, and I don't remember where I saw it. Course to get my motor running is best done by someone jumping on me and tearing my clothes off. Then I get real interested, real fast.

    Until then I just lick my lips...

    1. We're in the same boat on all counts, féminité.

  10. MY WIFE says you should send this to Jay Leno. He does do a bit about these sorts of things. I agree with her. It's not just the mail itself, but your comment. That's funny stuff.

    Also, I think Leno pays for those sorts of submissions. Could make your next Happy Hour even happier!

    1. Nice thought, that, but I'm REALLY lazy. ;-)

Just be polite... that's all I ask.
