In 2004, we published “Junk Science,” which is a story about the ins and outs of cottage country dumps. Who doesn’t love to look at pictures of trash, right? July/Aug ’04
Photography with this amount of kooky whimsy could only be from the ’80s. Our personal favourite part of this story was the section entitled, “A User’s Guide to Bananas.” The water toy, thankfully, not the fruit. Aug ’89
Loon Lake, Ont., sure does have some loon-loving members. Over 200 of them when we published this story, in fact. Have you ever dressed up as your favourite bird and paraded around the lake in a loon nest towed by an ATV? Well then, over to you, “birders.” June ’99
You wouldn’t believe what people have sent us in the mail. After we published a story in our March ’96 issue about the World Champion- ship Mosquito Cook-off, Jerry Olfman mailed us lollipops with crunchy insect centres. Apparently the crème-de-menthe-flavoured “Cricket Lick-It” was a hit. June ’96
We almost did a section on large, looming animals in photos, because that’s how often it came up in our back issue research. Sept/Oct ’95
We make our living sharing stories about weird stuff, and we have fun doing it! We can proudly say you wouldn’t have seen these in any other magazine.
