Odd, my latest copy of SWAT magazine...
smells oddly like mothballs, peppermint, old fart, and RIG on a chunk of mastadon wool...

You sure you just didn't mistake your copy of SWAT for a copy of Glamour magazine?
Those odors are probaby just the samples used by the perfume companies in their ads. |

You got yours and I haven't seen mine yet?

Mike got his because he's the test case for mothballs, peppermint, old fart, Rig on a chunk of old mastadon wool edition. Guess his impression wasn't favorable.

I guess then it's OK that he got the first one.

Hey Gary,
Then there's also the printing problem with this issue... Some of the folios are repeated, others are missing. See the SWAT forum for details. I think Rich wants a good idea as to how many bad copies went out. He seems to be pretty perturbed. Having been in the magazine business that contracted its printing to vendors, I sympathize...

Oh yeah, if any of you can't figure out what I'm talking about, check out the photos of the thin cowboy Santa Claus.
It's someone whom we know and respect (althought with me the respect may be hard to see sometimes. But it's there. )

Mike, my apologies for the joke and you were not the test subject for a scented magazine. Rich is aware of the problem of missing pages and is working on it.

Gary, no apology necessary. I knew it was a joke.
As for Rich being aware of the printing problem yes, I know. That's why I said he was perturbed about it.

I think Sam's answer explains it all.

Which reminds me:
Sam, swing by tomorrow and I'll get you some copies of the latest issue. And thanks again for your help on the article. Denny

"Sam, swing by..."
I KNEW IT!!! Sam is the living missing link! He lives in modern times, but still travels by swinging from tree to tree! I'm calling my friend at the Smithsonian's anthropology department right now!

Mike, when you say
it smelled like an "old fart," do you mean
1. the breaking of wind, trapped in a small space for a long time. or 2. an aged cohort, prone to short, pithy sentences full of meaning? Could be an indicator as to how the smell got there. |

You know, when I read through my issue the other day, it never dawned on me that that was Sam. That is, until I saw the S&W revolver. Then it hit me - there's only one person I can think of that would carry a big ol' ancient wheelgun for CCW.
BTW, Sam, my wife says you would be very handsome if you trimmed your Santy Claus whiskers a bit. |

It's the dreamboat eyes. Sam I Am must do well with the ladies with peepers like those. (Darn my mongrel eyes). Dreamy eyes works almost as well as pinning money to your suit!

¿ "ANCIENT WHEELGUN" ?
That's a 29-3, came out long after I retired. And, possibly the newest gun I currently own. The two on the right side are pinned. Ancient my rear. Sam.....don't even try to confuse me, I beat you to it long ago. |

Take no offense, Sam. The comment was made in sarcasm. Most folks think any wheelgun is ancient, and certainly anything that isn't made of scandium/titanium/plutonium.

Sam,
DIRT came along a long time after you retired!
