C’mon now, boys and girl(!), I posted this under ‘January issue issues’ and I didn’t exactly hear the ol’ bandwagon creaking under all that weight of people clambering on! T&FN is offering 5 subscriptions for $88 in order to lower the demographic of the magazine, (presently centered on 67.9 and rising!), priming the well, as it were. The theory is that we infect hapless young people with the virus by getting a gift subscription and they become so smitten with gh’s witticisms, that they re-subscribe under their own power.
Yes, I know we will also be feeding the filthy greed of the staff – the stretch Hummers, the super-model groupies, their fat boil-infested behinds in first-class seats, off to exotic locales we can only dream of – but it’s a dirty job and someone’s got to do it. But that’s the point – T&FN is the only one covering T&F the way it should be covered, and we remain hostage to their evil intent.
I lauunched my $88 today, sending it on its epic odyssey to Mountain View. And if I (how do you capitalize ‘capital I’?) can do it, certainly all you doctors and lawyers (if certainly SEEMS like that’s all we have here) can spring for a measly $88 FOR CRISSAKES (oh, bad holiday pun)! Certainly you all know 5 worthy pretenders to our thrones? Who will keep up the inane patter after we have shed this mortal coil?
Seriously, if you’re a ‘regular’ [hjsteve, MJR, MJD, Pego, ML, kuha, et al!) you need to push your gelatinous butt away from the screen long enough to walk your envelope out to the mailbox. Do it now . . . no, now . . . you’ll forget later . . . NOW!
Thank you for your kind attention to this matter.
Now, back to the “Earn Millions Without Lifting a Finger!” threads.
