... I so wanted to buy a subscription for & have it delivered to my least favorite professor's office
but never got the nerve to execute, alas.... (today I would not hesitate)Apologies if this has been covered before, I searched but found nought. Does Screw Magazine take you back to a simpler time, a time of classified ads and pay phones? Any great stories? As a teenager I "screwed" up the nerve to buy a copy from a sidewalk news kiosk, usually in Times Square.

At the time I was a junior reporter for the internal newspaper of another publisher and, when our team played Screw I covered the game.
Our team won and I wanted to see if I could slip a double-entendre past our editor so I wrote that our team "had administered a thorough licking" to Screw. I was amazed when it slipped through and appeared in print. Never did hear how many of our readers wee laughing up their sleeves.
There's so many ways to make screw work:
Screw got screwed, turned the screws on, screwed up, etc.
responded to a Screw ad. Townhouse in mid-town Manhattan, must have been worth a fortune. Fee was the royal price of $150, and I could only afford to visit one time. Uncovered. Ladies looked like models, in fact I think they were. You sat down with one of the beauties and browsed through a photo album. Shazzam!
As a college student I lived in a house with a bunch of hippies, each one of us rented a bedroom and we shared a kitchen and bathrooom. It was a wierd collection of long hairs: I was a serious student but others were just there for the parties, including "Porno Frank" who was supporting himself by selling things he advertised in Screw magazine. Some were legit, like dildos. I remember trying to eat a hotdog while he packed up dildos for shipment. But he also posted ad such as "Pictures of 43 sexy pre-teens, send $5 to Pporno Frank", for which someone would receive a copy of his 4th grade class photo. He actually made a fair bit of money doing this and Screw eventually began posting warning in the Classified section.
Brings back great memories, thanks for that!
Wouldn't that be cool for a batchelor apartment. Porno Frank, are you listening?
