Money. Success. Respect. All overrated. Our peers in publishing will have you believe that they have a lock on what is “eligible,” or even “readable,” but we know otherwise. Let no other magazine tell you the measure of a man — but let us tell you. We’re different. You can trust us, for we have glimpsed the darkened bar corner, stared stoically into the smoky dens of shame, forked over, like, 200 bucks to bail you out the time you peed on that cop car. That was our rent.
