One of the first days after I moved back to Yuppieville, a young man named Milano came around selling magazines to raise money for college. I thought it would be cool to help him out. So I bought four subscriptions... for the next four years. (I think he was going to an expensive college) One of them was to Details magazine. I had never read it, but it sounded slightly cooler than Better Homes and Garden.
It's been coming for a little over a year now, I don't really even read it, b/c there are too many ads, of dudes, without shirts on, and cologne samples, and more dudes without pants on...
Anyways, I mention it to a co-worker who kindly informs me that Details is the gateway magazine. You know, just like weed is the gateway drug to much more exciting drugs like cocaine and crystal meth... Details magazine is the gateway magazine to being gay.
There is nothing more that I'd love to do, than to run out and declare my heterosexualality to my mail man, but I've got three more years of this magazine in my mailbox, and I just don't think he's gonna believe me...

i had a subscription to details the first year it came out. I think it was less gAy back then. It was advertised as the ultimate mens magazine. I enjoyed it for the female photography. What can I say, i was a high school kid at the time. It was that and the sports illustated swim suit issue. i can proudly say i have not read either since high school. and no, it's not cuz i like men now. i like cars. check Evo magazine.

Niko's right... it has gotten increasingly gayer over the last several years. When it first came out, probably around '98?, it was advertised as a youthful GQ. ("Not your father's mens magazine!" and the like...)
I let my subscription lapse last year when a neighbor pointed out that every caption on a certain month's cover contained double entendre for gay sex.

I agree with Nika. I picked up Details at an LA airport for the ride back east. I had never read it before and I thought, what the hell. Well, when I got home I had three phone numbers, all men...just kidding.

Gah. This whole discussion sounds like it's taking place in the green room on Dancing With the Stars.
Turbo-ghey.

hink shows his face. OMG - you watch Dancing With The Stars too? Don't you think Stacey got robbed last season?!?!

First of all Stacey got robbed big time last year! Second of all I know that all of you are Gay because you know so much about Details Mag. I think just reading Niko, Sharif, and J's commentary made me gay. Damn it, now I have to go take a shower!

"Not that there's anything wrong with that".

Niko said "i had a subscription to details the first year it came out."
My work here is done.

Noah has four years of subscription. Doesn't that make him like super gay or something?

Selling both my motorcycle and Land Cruiser in one month makes me somewhat questionable...

Sancho, make sure you have some Boy George muzak playing loud for the duration of that shower/cleanse. Shua, not only that, i used to get 15 cd's for 1 penny as well. Then, the perpetrators would mail me some country music junk and expect me to pay for it, saying i had my chance to decline. How else is a kid supposed to get his hands on the latest Color Me Badd album..? Or Shai??
A four year subscription to a mag you have never read?? that's like buying the mongo size (insert your random food item you've never tried in your life) at costco.. well, at least you can return that!

Yeah, I knew that hetero thing was a sham. And I can prove it! I know there are Express t-shirts in your closet. "Oh, I know, huh?"
Posted @ August 19, 2006Joe says,
Oh yeah,...one more thing. You drive a "champaigne" colored Lexus. I knew that hetero thing was a sham. LOL
Posted @ August 19, 2006niko says,

Robbed? Robbed f what? Nah man, she had no heart. This reminds me of that time I was bitching about a speed trap to my cop brother.
So he listens to my story and says "Was it a trap? Why's it gotta be a trap?"
