So I got an offer in the mail today from Northwest Airlines, to redeem miles for magazine subscriptions. I love those offers -- I haven't actually paid for a magazine sub in years. But one entry definitely caught my eye... and I thought, "No way." Check out the one I have circled:
I don't know which is funnier -- the title, or the subtitle next to that! I HAD to check this magazine out. This is from their web page:
"Are you a 21st Century Southern American?
Garden & Gun attracts men and women who embody the active, outdoor lifestyle, and have an eye for beauty, an ear for fine prose, a passion for the Southern landscape and waters.
One reader wrote recently, "I am a 44-year-old avid hunter and saltwater fly fisherman. I also like a great bottle of wine and 700 thread-count cotton sheets on my hunt camp bed."
Okay, I am a Southerner through and through, 3rd generation... but I just find this whole thing hilarious. And really, it's not even the concept of the magazine -- it's the title they chose. I just can't quit laughing...
