I did in the past a couple of times. Back in the 70's I subscribed to FAMOUS MONSTERS.

In the 90's I subscribed to PSYCHOTRONIC VIDEO until it folded.
I even had 2 letters printed and contributed to an articale in #37, 2002!

If you look real close at the beginning of the text, you can see me name!
(I found out later that AFTER HOURS mag sells for a lot of money. I never got it back, either. Bluesad

When I was a little kid and in the scouts, I got Boys Life.
When I was a bit older than that, I got Wizard Magazine. 

Other than those two, I just bought magazines off the stands.

Sure. I used to subscribe to a lot, now....not. I also own almost every National Geographic of the 20th century in print form, but despise what's been done with the journal over the last fifteen years, and no longer even read the modern iteration.

Magazines may become like vinyl records soon: hip, outside, valued again.

I subscribed to TIME for about fifteen years (even had a letter published in it once), and also to a hobby publication called INDIAN ARTIFACT MAGAZINE.
Still subscribe to PREHISTORIC AMERICAN.

I had subscriptions to Rolling Stone and Penthouse for a while in the early 90s.

The RS sub was a Christmas gift from a well meaning relative who must have thought "He loves that rock 'n 'roll music, so he'll like this!" even though RS had nothing but contempt for my favorite style of music (hard rock/metal) and therefore I despised it with every fiber of my being (and still do).

The Penthouse sub was a gift to myself, if you know what I mean (wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more, say no more). :D

At one time my wife subscribed to Rachael Ray's magazine and Entertainment Weekly but those subs lapsed a long time ago.

If you were getting Penthouse and didn't like Rolling Stone (and who does?), I'm surprised you didn't try Spin, which was put out by the same people, and usually much better.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
