Oh and the real reason it failed is they raised the prices on the thing so much most of us had to stop buying it. When it was 95 cents, it was an easy splurge decision in the checkout, but at $3 or whatever it was at the end was too much. So circulation dropped, then ad revenue disappeared.

Oh, and The Men In Black used to use it to know what was going on.  I guess they'll have to go on-line from now on.

I always liked Ed Anger's columns.

Yeah.  I used to read it in the employee break room at the Winn-Dixie supermarket I worked at in high school.

It wasn't so heavy with the alien stories back then -- mostly stuff like women getting revenge in unusual ways on their cheatin' man.
