Loose Parts by Dave Blazek for July 02, 2024

What’s a magazine?

Ain’t that the pits?

For the Gen-Zs reading this: magazines are like big collection of blog posts that are printed and bound together, usually by staples.

I get about 5 magazines a month, historical and some technical. They are stacked by my bed … one article and I’m in Dreamland. I then pass them to on to a friend who passes it along, etc. (I get the occasional free beer in recompense … win, win).

It’s a pit all right. It’s the pits.

That puts the teenagers so at ease. It’s like being back in their own rooms.

I don’t see a pit there, just a pile…unless the pit is shallow and the quantity of magazines so great as to overflow and conceal the pit. (It’s a trap!)

‘And in the kitchen you’ll find our Tupperware trench’

Plenty of ammo there.

Oh, by the way, do you Mosh?

That’s a pile, not a pit.

That could be inflammatory.
