The Metro Times

I used to grab a copy every week; haven't picked one up since Halloween.

It's not like I've given up on it or anything; I just don't seem to go out of my way to get it anymore...I do miss Savage Love, though. And the personals.

Love it especially the tale of two kwami's earlier this year

I flipped through a couple back in high school and wasn't impressed. Not even worth lining a birdcage imo.

It once looked like a dirt rag but now it looks more like a real publication (notice I said 'more'). :happy:

Is Real Detroit better or worse?

Like Ralphie(Nuke) sang:

"Fuck the Metro Times

Wining and dining their shitty friends' bands

It's all a setup

It's a fuckin' rig

A fuckin' scam"

I miss Fun, Orbit, and Anti-Matter. :sad:

No, I am the world's worst employee. Really. I mean, I try, but I am sooo inept!

I am so fascinated with Orbit. It was before my time, but everyone tells me how amazing it was.

Anybody got any copies still lying around?

I had about two years worth of Orbit when I was married to The Antichrist. However, she tossed 'em during our divorce.

Orbit had very edgy writers, on the money musical reviews, and funny takes on the day's highlights. I miss it.

Even so, that's no excuse! Look at G. W. Bush!!! Come on he had an "important" job for 8 years...and Kwame for a term and some change too. I don't believe that you could've possibly been that bad!

AHGHHGHGH no fair!!! I have been asking everyone I can think of for old copies. God it would be awesome if you still had those! Man.

Yeah...I wish one of the current alternative rags could be more like Orbit. From what I hear it was just about perfect.

Worse than this...she "stored" 15,000 negatives and slides,(never before printed, 5 years of my traveling, outdoors, wildlife photography, my very best stuff) outside during our separation. In the winter. for 6 months. You do the math... :X:verymad::crybaby:

I used to always check out the personals but most were older women in there. The alternative dating ads were very amusing to see. Not sure how many other papers do ads like that.

I used to read MT religiously but haven't bothered in like 2 years. :secret:

Before Orbit Jerry Peterson used to run Fun Magazine(back when he was Jerry Vile). It was a lot more irreverent than Orbit - a lot more! :happy: Loved their comic strips and their fucked-up parodies of the newspaper funnies. Can't remember if Chris Gore was involved with Fun back then. I know he was already putting out Film Threat around that time and also had a publication called Fungus Rodeo.
