The police log in The Garden Island newspaper.

Funny as hell- and often the best part of the paper.

The last Surfers Journal I was able to get back in the USA. Its about 3 years old and has been read over and over and over. Same with the Surfer Mag and all the other ones. I need to find a way to get some new ones damnit.

I've got piles of old surf books/mags.
Pay the shipping and you can have the whole lot.

...I've also got some "other" mags.... :P

Might take ya up on that offer. But the price of the money transfer would be as much as the shipping! As far as the other mags... why need mags when such things are much more open than in the good ol' USA!

How to poop in the Woods. Has some really funny parts. I had seen a used copy in Ashland years ago and I finally bought myself a copy. Not abook that you really want to buy used.

Don't know why I even bothered but I tried to read the weekly rag here in Eugene during lunch yesterday.The whole pub is like a whiny snot-nosed high school newspaper. Obviously their editor isn't worried about objectivity or refraining from shameless boot licking. They had numerous articles on one city councilman in particlular, according to the bold, highlighted text of one article this evil person had spent $640 since '06 in gas, they even specify...,"Green spent $20.50 on Mar 20,07 and then on Mar 27,07 he spent another $17.50(paraphrased)." Sounds like they better get the principal involved in this one.

I love the Depoe Bay Beacon. Free press like it was at our country's founding.
