I flipped out on them for smoking weed in my room, opened the windows to air the place out...then sat down and helped them with the letter.

I think this is how most of the letters were composed.

I'll never forget the letter I read as a young teen titled "Chicken Pflucker" about, you guessed it, a lonely man who used to purchase whole, frozen chickens from the store. He would warm them up, dress them in ladies' underwear and, umm, you get the idea.

My fellow thirteen year-old friends and myself never laughed harder.

Amazing after 20 years I still remember the title!

The publisher of a financially and morally bankrupt magazine wishes to be governor of a financially and morally bankrupt state. Kinda fitting.

Now, now. "Hustler" is doing just fine. I don't know how Flynt managed to keep his empire afloat in this age of free internet porn, but he somehow has.

[Stone Mountain]

I thought it was good, personally.

Yeah, but they only print the true ones... : )

Did Somebody say Vikings?!?!

"I don't know how Flynt managed to keep his empire afloat in this age of free internet porn, but he somehow has."

Same way Costco stays in business selling bulk food while all those ladies are giving away tidbits of burritos, sausages, and mini-quiches.

Based on my understanding of what they are publishing these days, somehow the term "racy" is a rather faint descriptor of Penthouse Magazine.

[The Radical Capitalist]

Gotta be rough times when a guy can't even make a living sell nude pictures. Must be a buyer's market.

[Mark]

That Helen Thomas nude picture probably sunk them.(/no it's not true)

[Barry Goldwater]

I thought Penthouse was run by Bob Guccione, who Ann Coulter used to date. You are thinking of Larry Flynt.

[al baby]

Why do they put the playground so close to the dump?

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

FYI

[Constitutionalist Conservative]

Shame on all of you guys for knowing that. And shame on Flynt for not being the Penthouse publisher (and thus ruining a perfectly good comparison).

[MHGinTN]

Now that was truly funny! Thanx for the laugh in an otherwise

day.

[WKB]

As I always said "if you've seen one naked woman you've seen 'em all"


Or "Stand 'em on their head and they all look sisters"

[dixiechick2000]

That's quite a visual.;o)

[Barry Goldwater]

Hey! No shame on me! I only read it for the articles.

This is a joke, right?

When they started showing pics of women peeing it was over for me.

I don't think it is a joke.
