The Onion:

Sci-Fi Geek Only Hangs Out With Models





http://www.theonion.com/content/from_print/sci_fi_geek_only_hangs_out

Is there an article? (I can't find one). Still, nice termies. Well done you unknown, lonely geek.

Sadly the full article is only in the print edition.

Its worth a subscription, trust me.

The onion makes my life so much more enjoyable

Not really recognition, but I saw an episode of "House Hunters International" where some college bound kid and his Dad were looking for a place for him to live while he was going to school in some city (I think it was Amsterdam), and the place they picked had a perk of an outside "shed"/building. When they showed it after he moved in, on a table in it was an imperial guard army in progress (I think the kid was an art student), the Leman Russ was unmistakable.

You mean the onion isnt free everywhere like it is here in the twin cities?

Its the preferred blanket for 9 out 10 bums.

Unfortunately they only do free distribution in some cities-so Denver gets it and LA doesn't (at least within my experience). I imagine it varies depending upon the amount of local advertising they can sell?

DC gets it too, for the record. But alas no longer around those parts :(

In fact, here's the Onion Distribution Page

- Salvage

and it originates from here in Milwaukee! REPRESENT (makes stupid cheering and whooping noises)

I just noticed, those look like Green Bay Packers Terminators.

was anyone able to get this issue? I was sick and couldn't go out yesterday.

LA gets it, but it's only in little distribultion stands in Hollywood & Santa Monica, IIRC. The Hollywood ones empty out really quickly.

Their staff, or at least the writers, relocated to New York when I was living there maybe six years ago.

Those are pretty cheezy Terminators!

My fiancee's dad picked it up and checked, and he said there's no article, just the pic + headline. Time for a (few) Dakka writer(s) to fix that?

They look like Salamanders to me. a bit brighter green then they should be.

Aside from bad puns about cheeseheads and losers there's no need for an article. The picture and caption say it all.

Seven years ago, I would have agreed with you.

Oh, for The Onion to be funny again...
