The Weekly World News

I miss the Weekly World News.

It used to be my reward for doing a good grocery shop... bring it home and once the groceries were all put away, sit down with a litre of chocolate milk and read it cover to cover.

Or maybe just read a couple of stories and then drop it in bathroom for the next time nature called...

In a world that can seem so same old, same old, I could always count on the Weekly World to come out of the blue with ideas and images that were not like the others...

Sometimes it seemed to freak people out to find it in our house... but after a while that was just part of the fun. A value-add.

I thought it was a very creative crew, and it was a lot more fun to read than say... FUSE magazine or any of the other Art publications that one was supposed to read in my social milieu back when...

The pictures were more interesting too...

(actually, I think this 0ne is a knock-off...)

Plus if the money situation was a little tight from time to time, one could skim it for highlights while standing in line and then just put it back in the rack before checking out...

...now waiting in line at the grocery store is just waiting in a line... and I have no idea what's going on in that parallel universe... or where the hell Bat Boy is anymore.
