okay folks, here is a chance to "date" yourself..how many of you remember this exact copy of the magazine? How many of our forum bought a copy..how many have that copy yet?

I kept only the cover page, it is in a protective vinyl sheet at home..I thought even in 1973 this was one of the best ads out there...(little sick maybe--but classic)

ah then on to Vaughn Bode'....another classic...Betty Boop has nothin on Belinda Bump....

[Plymouthy Adams]

why am I not surprised?

No one knows if the dog was saved.....

[Joe Flanagan]

I remember that cover. Don't know if I bought the magazine. I used to subscribe. I loved National Lampoon. I had the album, "That's Not Funny, That's Sick," and I still can recite entire sections of it by memory. Right up my alley.

Norm, loosen your tie a little.

[Plymouthy Adams]

Greg..I did not get the follow up copy..I rarely bought the magazine but that cover was classic..I was led to believe that the dog was shown cooked up and ready to serve in the next edition...Urban Legend/Snopes time????

[Plymouthy Adams]

NO SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE...thats downright un-American...to quote...jane you ignorant s&%

[greg g]

Tim, keep this on the down low but there are several no blatant humor zones in America.

They are left over from Puritan days and were picked up and spread by the Scandanavian Lutherens that populated the upper midwest. They worked so hard and so long that there was just no time for anything but strangled giggles, and mostly by and from misdirected youths.

I was 4 years old had more important things on my mind, like breakin my brothers stuff that I shouldn't touch.I've never looked at the mag have I missed out on something good?SNL has had some really good years and some that werent all that but all in all it's been a goodie. I do love the cover of the mag though, PETA would be jumpin up and down over this.

Gents,

Tim: Both covers existed. The cooked dog being served was a double parody on the Norman Rockwell painting of a Thanks giving dinner and of Hearst's claim that if you put a pretty girl, a dog, or children on a cover it would sell.

I loved that magazine until it got a new editor who tried to copy Helen Gurley Brown's format for 'Cosmopolitan' in the mid-70's and I don't think I've read it since. My all-time favorite cover was a March ('73?) depicting a lion committing an unnatural act with a lamb, but, as I stated in a recent post, I have no taste.

for you Greg...

Ole is a rancher in western Minnesota . He is in need of a new milk cow and hears about a nice one for sale over in Nordakota (that would be North Dakota for you non-Scandahoovians out there).

He drives to Nordakota, finds the farm and looks at the cow. He reaches under to see if the cow gives milk. When he grabs a teat and pulls...the cow farts. Surprised, Ole looks at the farmer who's selling the cow, then reaches under to try again.

He grabs another teat, pulls, and the cow farts again. Milk does come out however, so after some discussion with the cow's current owner, Ole decides to buy the cow.

When he gets back to Minnesota, he calls over his neighbor, Sven, and says, 'Hey, Sven, come and look at dis ere new cow I yust bought. Pull her teat, and see vat happens.'

Sven reaches under, pulls the teat...the cow farts.

Sven looks at Ole and says, 'You bought dis here cow over in Nordakota, didn't yah?'

Ole is very surprised since he hadn't told Sven about his trip. Ole replies, 'Yah, dats right. But how did yah know?'

Sven says, 'My wife is from Nordakota too.'

[greg g]

See, 35/40 years an a place begines to rub off on ya.

This appaerently passes for humor up in that neck of the woods.

Ole and Lena got married. On their honeymoon trip they were nearing Minneapolis when Ole put his hand on Lena's knee. Giggling, Lena Said, "Ole, you can go farther if ya vant to"... so Ole drove to Duluth.

Looks like this thread went south.....

1. Life would be easier if I had the source code

2. There's no place like 127.0.0.1

3. I see dead pixels

4. Talk nerdy to me

5. Black holes suck

6. Sith happens

7. Run code Run

8. What is the speed of dark?

9. Obey gravity, it's the law

10. My brain is hung like a horse

11. Guns don't kill people. Kids who play video games kill people.

12. Double your drive space, delete Windows

13. Byte me

[Plymouthy Adams]

heck Don..this thread is way south to begin with..we are now digging a hole...

[Joe Flanagan]

Anybody remember Trots & Bonnie?

[Plymouthy Adams]

yes I do..the time they held the neighbor kid hostage and the shotgun accidentially went off..do you remember the significance of her "sitting on a tack" episode? how about Ragbag and Farkfoot?

[Joe Flanagan]

I don't remember Ragbag and Farkfoot. Was that National Lampoon? So now that we're going down that road, what about Zap Comics?

Guess you'd better call Home Land Security on us.

Wife and her family don't care for SNL either. Maybe that's why we all get along so well. Even my two brothers don't watch it either. I've never discussed it with my mother' date=' but don't believe she does either. She won't even watch Jay Leno. Said she doesn't care for his off color jokes to put it mildly. But.......guess she has an excuse. She'll be 87 in August.[/quote']

Norm, have you ever laughed???

[radioguy7]

Try listeing to OTR (old time radio), I enjoy listening to Jack Benny more than most of the TV shows on the air these days.
