Onstad didn't even pre-announce this one!

The second newspaper is scarily accurate, given my experience with these things.

You're the doc, Doc.

Post by: Nabubrush on February 21, 2012, 08:16:11 am: In Portland, homeless folks buy Street Roots (http://streetroots.org/) for a quarter and sell it for a dollar. They hang out around various places of business in my neighborhood. It's a pretty nice alternative to just accosting people and begging them for money.

As for the comic . . . I wonder if he's in Street Roots. He's not in the Merc anymore (other than the three food reviews that are going to end up getting printed).

I would like you to translate all instances of the comic in this fashion.

Post by: Nabubrush on February 21, 2012, 05:06:24 pm: I don't know - the thing I like about street roots is that they invest in it. It costs them money to do it. I'm sure it's naive and simplistic of me, but I'd rather see that than some dude with a smoke and a dog talking about how he just needs X dollars to get something to eat or whatever.

Post by: Victoria Waterfield on February 21, 2012, 05:17:11 pm: Is the product worth the investment though? I used to buy the street newspapers once in a while, but I gave it up when one of the issues I bought had a two page article on how the government is lying to us about chemtrails. I'd much rather just give a dude a dollar and have him spend the whole dollar however he likes, than to give him seventy-five cents that he can spend however he likes, and twenty-five cents for an article about chemtrails.

Post by: side_show on February 21, 2012, 06:01:29 pm: I've never seen anyone selling our local "Street Connections" paper, however I know who writes it and I get it emailed to me on the regular. Ours is written more for street people (mostly directed at sex trade workers), but I'm thinking the thing Onstad is refering to is a paper written by street people? If so, we don't have that sort of a paper. Ours has a "bad johns" report and I always have to steel myself before reading it. I ask myself "do I want to know how awful the world is today?" Sometimes the answer is "no." Yikes, we are still not even kinda close to gender equality out my way.

Post by: Jaded Tersk on February 21, 2012, 07:22:50 pm: UK has one like Nabu is talkin' 'bout called The Big Issue. It is worth the investment too, if you like magazines at all. I mean, you get an interview with Paul McCartney here, a film review there, a few journalistic stories of decent quality.

So if any Anglophiles out there wondered what Oasis meant in 'Supersonic' when they sing 'selling The Big Issue', it means this magazine sold by homeless people.

Pop music lyric quality appears to be inversely proportional to song popularity.

Post by: Nabubrush on February 22, 2012, 06:06:22 pm: I'm becoming more and more convinced that all songs have shit lyrics when you really look at them.

With the exception of "Let's Get it On".

Stipe's Law: The overall quality of an R.E.M. album is roughly inversely proportional to the comprehensibility of the lyrics.
