Why does MR smell so bad?

I personally like the smell of new print. The smell of the paper, the smell of the ink. Yes, yes, yes! You're unhappy with the way MR smells? Take a trip to a large magazine shop, one that carries everything available. Notice how the shop smells. Just like model railroader. Gosh, why is that? But you can eliminate the odor if you really need to. Just stop subcribing to or purchasing MR. Then you can contact MR and have them make a complete xerox copy of that month's issue and send it to you. Gosh, you will only be paying $80 or so an issue, but the smell will be gone. <br /> <br />Or you can put your MR in the freezer for several days after it arrives. This will not only reduce the odor, it will make your hamburgers taste terrific as well. <br /> <br />Or you can sit and complain about the smell of the magazine, the lack of Z scale articles, the lack of articles dealing with the specifics you are currently working on. You can complain about the way Andy combs his hair (what hair?), the material in any of the monthly columns, the lack of $25 locomotives that come equipped with DCC and sound. I bet you don't like single ply toilet paper either and I bet you still only use one side. Take your mind off your gripes. Turn around and bite your wife on the leg, slash your own tires, burn down your garage, spray your magazine with English Leather. <br /> <br />Instead of putting your nose in the magazine, invest in some reading glasses. Give up on trains and start collecting bus tokens from aroung the world. Get a job working at the local sanitary landfill <br /> <br />Complain about the smell of MR? I think you need another layer of bricks on your load. Or maybe you should try rowing your boat with two oars <br /> <br />Tom <br /> <br />
