I have heaps, bu you can't have them

try an old op shop. there are sure to be the same 5 copies that are in every other op shop.

how good was growing up in a household with a national geographic subscription?

i'll tell you how good:

VERY FUCKING GOOD

agreed loady.

suuuuuure

i am!
as nice as the dugs on african ladies may be, i have no interest in them.

I learned a lot about single commodities, such as gold, silver, chocolate, honey, etc.

There was an awesome story about the Loch Ness Monster in one of the 1977 issues.

Also I loved the ones with mummies and stories about human evolution.

i'll just go check out the opshops, then.

i like 'em too loadie. they're good for drawing from.

I do have some, actually, I have heaps. Are you just drawing from them? Can I have them back?

You can borrow the lot, if you want, put them in the studio.

I love NG Mag. Do you guys remember the hologram covers from the 80's? My parents 2 of those covers, one was a eagle and another was a skull. I blame NG for my morbid curiosity about mummies, burial rituals and death-related anthropology in general.

My dad has been a subsriber since 1972...we have a lot of National Geographics.

I get them when he kicks it as well.

I was fascinated by the skull hologram cover.

I've got one from the 80s with the planet on the front in hologram, and a McDonalds ad on the back in hologram.

Somewhat incongruous.

i think i took a bunch down to the pitz - you can look thru and take anything useful

I've a a really cool skull one CV.

My most prized NG is one celebrating the moon landing that includes a flexi disc. I had second copy of it as a kid that we removed that flexi disc from and would play it, was a recording of the moon landing and some other stuff

Fuck, I had the skull one too. Epic.

oh i remember the skull one!

i mostly loved the astronomy, evolution and animal stories.

monkey stories were cool. I have one about an albino gorilla

i know somebody who's got a giant box... i'll ask about them. are you in Syd?

i'M NOT INTERESTED IN THE CHICK WITH THE GIANT BOX.

i love the photos

I've got heaps of old ones, too. One from 1934 about the good things young Adolf Hitler was doing in poor rebuilding Germany, and how the people were happy again after years of deprivation.

Spooky.

And the old early colour pictures, where they whack a guy in a red shirt in a green forest shot, just to show of their fancy printing process. I like the space ones, and the palaentology/anthropology stories. It would be such a great job to be one of their reporters.

what abouit Australian Geographic, Modi

Nah, my brother got the subscription to Aus Geo.

I already collected them, I even had a little card in my wallet to remind me which ones I had.

And what condition they were in. I always get like that with collections.

when i was obsessed with olympus manual cameras (an obsession that will never die, really, but is getting hard to feed, cash wise) i collected 80s NatGeos, as Olympus pwned the back pages for about 15 years. then canon took over. also loved reading them when my dad was a subscriber to it and TIME.

Yeah. And Canon sucks the balls.

sounds like you have heaps more than i need, modi.
they are for drawing and i will give them back. mainly interested in the rabbits and bugs, especially rhinocerous and hercules beetles at this stage.

and sorry, i'm in melbs, ChrisBrimstone

wow.....i also had the skull one.... i was allowed to take it to school......

The skull one was a big fucking deal.

Mountain dude, I'm digging your Antonin Artaud avatar.

Good choice!

Just for that I'll have a look through my National G's for bugs'n'bunnies.

Tell you what, MountedMan,

I'll go through them as I pack them into little boxes, and put aside a collection of insect and bunny ones for you.

Any other topics of interest, let me know and I'll scan as I pack

I recall being enthrathed by the bosoms of African women from NGs as a child.

Until you grew your own, right?

anybody like to visit ng online?

I do, to change my subscription address.

We have about ten years worth of them, but I don't reckon my Dad will part with them.
I used to be completely fascinated with National Geographic as a kid. There was an issue about Pompeii when they'd first worked out how to do graphics of what someone would look like from their skeleton. I loved it. I'd spend hours looking at it.

I'm a nerd, aren't I?

Yes, but that's okay.

thanks, modster. i can pick them up from richmond when you're done packing.
if you see any old WW2 spitfire aeroplanes, or pictures of the english countryside around that time with crops of rapeseed or mustard, put them aside too!

not many WWII issues, but I'll keep an eye out. There are actually a lot of anniversary ones from the early-mid 90s I think which might have that sort of stuff.

cool. no biggie, if they're not there. thanks, dude.

mm - there were about 50 at the salvos on smith street last week.

I am still entranced by all manner of breasts - women of Afrique and my very own thank you Mountain Man.

thanks applecrunch!
i'll go there on the weekend.

hmm, i think it was modi who was looking at your boobies, billy_bob. i never look at my friends boobies. much.

LIES !!!!

I lokk at everyone's boobies. You never know when you might spot a surreptitious lump and save their life.

MountainMan, you're 6 months too late. I had 20 years worth of the yellow-spined buggers. Gave em away.

bummer, sum1.

i went to a book shop in footscray and the lady was about to throw out some copies, so she gave them to me. there were pictures in one of them of old wrinkled ladies squatting on the ground around a deer's carcass, it's rib bones picked clean as the old ladies gnawed on the jaw bones. awesome picture.

Aesop: 153 Toorak Road, Sth Yarra. They're all over the fucking floor. Promise.

really? that's great! that's just down the road. thanks!

I bought the china issue the other day. wow photography and I might buy more now. I really enjoyed it.
