ManSplat #42 Arriving On Schedule
This blog’s title is kind of funny considering we don’t publish on any schedule known to man…or unman. Last issue came out 15 months ago, so – OOPS!
ManSplat #42 comes out third week of July, 2008, give or take 2 hours. I know on our website’s ad rates page it says we hit the streets July 31. That’s just to cover our buttocks in case something really good is on TV to distract us.
As for what’s featured in #42, it’s kinda weird to just list as it looks so flat on the screen. For instance, if I wrote “Aquaman,” you’d go, “meh,” or “so freakin’ what?” But the article on Aquaman (and we ARE doing one) is about the bubbles Aquaman makes and how it’s integral to his whole existence. Interested now? That’s the ManSplat way – we take a seemingly “meh” subject and give it the dreaded rear admiral.
That eloquently stated, look for our twist on topics as Dr. Dolittle, Bikers, Hercules, Women’s Locker Rooms, Gamera, Klaus Meine, The Night of the Lepus Bunny, The History of Refreshing Beverages, How To Write Emo Lyrics, Planet of the Apes, and so much more it hurts just to type it.
Need a copy of ManSplat #42? If you live in Seattle or Tacoma it’s FREE. If you don’t live in Seattle or Tacoma, it’s $5 (includes postage, envelope, used stamp, dried slobber to seal said envelope, and an extra back issue of ManSplat to ease your separation anxiety with money. Send to: Hairball Media, 4742 42nd Ave. SW, PMB 515, Seattle, WA 98116.
So why, in this Digital Age, are we still doing old school tabloid publishing? Because no one else is stupid enough to keep doing it. We’ve published ManSplat regularly (and semi-regularly) since 1995. It’s all we know, man. Besides, how in the heck does one read a computer while on the toilet? And don’t say with a laptop, because I already thought of that.
Anyway, visit us on MySpace (cliched, I know) at www.myspace.com/mansplat. Or on the web (kind of old school, but still worth keeping around): www.mansplat.com
And buy an ad or just send us money. Or cookies. With raisins. And would it kill you to put some chocolate thingies in the dough?
Rock horns to you and yours,

If you’re the editor, janitor, model and actress, who the hell fetches the beer? And does the writing? What kind of mickey mouse operation is this anyway?

I totally had #42 in my greasy palms the other night- not reading it, just holding it, planning to savor the articles over a week’s worth of epic dumps. Alas, I got drunk and left the ’splat on the bar. Will it be there if I go back? I doubt it. And now I’m all depressed and constipated- not wanting to leave the house and unable to release the turdemon within. This is getting dangerous- send help if you can.
