Yeah, I used to keep my copies of Penthouse under a loose floorboard in my closet when I was a teen. No need for that now.

It’s been years since I bought a magazine and longer since I subscribed.

Back in my public TV days when I was trying to get out of that dead end career and the PHBs wouldn’t let me since I was competent, capable, and whatnot. I got nothing for it.

Anyway there were all of those free IT magazines and I signed up for all of them. I had a 3 foot stack of them at my mailbox just to drive them nuts. They had zero problems with routinely lying about pretty much everything.

The Victoria Secrets catalog rendered all of these magazines obsolete.

As young boys, we used to go to the newstand to buy comic books and thumb through the men’s magazines. The owners of the newstands used to ask us: “You gonna buy anything today”?

I had a huge collection of comic books...and more than a few fantasies.

My 70s college freshman English prof based our Final on subliminal messages in Playboy pictures. He swore this was for educational purposes. Weird old dude.

Porn has fallen on hard times due to the glut of free porn on the Internet.

I'm shocked that the government hasn't come around and shut down the free porn sites -- not for porn, but for "unfair competition". How else are big donors like Hefner and Guccione going to be able to make a living?

Who knows, hipsters might start creating artisanal craft-porn. It’ll be printed on hand-made hemp paper derived from organic hemp. The photos will be shot with black-and-white or old Kodachrome film.

My work day has completely gone off the rails now. Phoebe Cates circa 1982. Winter just got a little milder here.

I was out in the woods, getting fres air, when I saw these four beautiful women skinny-dipping in the creek. They saw me and ... Penthouse Forum stuff.

Only if you preface it with...."You'll never believe what happened to me."

Well usually about 2.30 in the morning you’ve ended up taking advantage of yourself.
There ain’t no way around that you know. Yeah, making a scene with a magazine, there ain’t no way around.
I’ll confess you know, I’m no different you know. I’m not weird about it or anything, I don’t tie myself up first.
I just kinda spend a little time with myself

This is the saddest moment of my adult life.

Somehow, we all knew.
