That is interesting. I did not know that they posted that article.
Since that is out of the issue that they RECALLED.
Go to http://www.taunton.com/store/pages/backissue_fh.asp
And look for issue #153. It does not exist.
Although I have be assured that if you call the 800 number and know the secret password that they will sell you a copy. But you have prove that he have a need and references from 3 other person that have bought that issue.

What was in it that it was recalled?
I don't know.
It is use a secret hush, hush thing that on one seems to know.
Taunton "claims" that there is no reason that issue #153 is missing.
And Taunton has "claimed" several times that it was an oversight and it will be placed on the list.
But because of some behind the sences conspiracy it is still being hiden .
I'm confoozed...... was #153 just skipped over or was there a #153 that was printed?
I have subscription.... was it mailed out? I guess I could go digging around the house looking for that issue. Maybe near one of the porcelain libraries...
I think it was Feb/March 2003, but I didn't know it was 'recalled'.

It is just my way of gigging Taunton to get the back issue problem fixed.
I don't know if it is in the article index or not. I know at the time this first came up, about 3-4 months after that issue came out that I could not find the article in the index either.
That is when I first emailed Taunton and got assurances that this would be fixed.
You can pick it up on eBay. jt8

I knew it!I knew it! Somethings up here with #153 and you know what it is but won't tell.
I know that that was the first issue I missed buying after I let my subscription die out so I could buy off the stands wherever I was at back when travelling around.
Something was in that issue I'm sure of it.
So now I don't have that issue and can't analyze it for subliminal ads and hidden words in articles to discover the truth that Lowes does own Taunton Press.
Nothing is "up" rez... Honest....
You must be confused or something...

Another day, another tool.
the first issue I missed buying after I let my subscription die out
What nobody has told you is that the subscription issue was vastly different than the news stand issue. They took out several items that were ... ahhh ... shall we say inappropriate. Things that never should have been printed. If you try to buy one off ebay, you have to be sure that it was a subscription version ... some unscroupulous sellers are "claiming" to be selling the subscription version, but nobody in their right mind would part with one. Another good reason to keep your subscription intact.
Whenever you are asked if you can do a job, tell'em "Certainly, I can!" Then get busy and find out how to do it. T. Roosevelt
So, the plot thickens.
Of all the devious.....
SO TELL ME WHAT WAS IN THERE!!!!ARGGG! I GOT TO KNOW!!!
A center foldout of IMERC with his 400' #6 Ext. cord?
Baby pics of Piffin they got from his wife?
A classified ad from Blodgett advertising back issues of FH for sale? Blodgett! That was it, wasn't it? A centerfold spread of Blodgett's froglegs with the weird muscles sticking out from his too many miles on that bicycle?
Well, I'm certainly not "in the loop", and for some reason I can't seem to find my own copy of issue 351, but I sure hope they didn't print a photo of Leopard skin pants boy with a couple teeth missing...
Close...

You guys should have been at Rhodefest.
They brought several copies of a lot of the back issues, but once someone mentioned that they were suprised they were including that issue in the door prize giveaways, they realized it was there, pulled those issues, and put them back in the trunk of someone's car.
That just piqued the curiousity of those that hadn't seen the issue.
After much discussion, they did take it out and show what all the fuss is about, but those in attendence had to first sign disclosure agreements.
While many still think it was inappropriate, I do think it's being blown out of proportion.
inappropriate?
You always were one to understate a situation. I've been meaning to talk to you about that.
I mean forget the little minor incidences like Lar ry Martian getting a letter printed in the Breaktime section or what someone slipped into the copy before it went to the printers.
I mean we can joke about governmental intrusion and the like, but what do you really think the girls would do if they found out?
Edited 10/20/2004 11:04 am ET by rez
The girls ???They're the ones who did it.
The person you offend today, may have been your best friend tomorrow
Well, indirectly, yes.
This is at least the second time I have seen something about a missing #153. I have a FHB # 153 (mar 2003) sitting here on the desk...I assume this is an inside joke I have missed???
Would you like to sell that copy of #153 if it is a subscription copy?
I don't suppose you would have the #351?
Do you have the oiriginal issue of #153 with the picture in question on the cover and with all the embarassing stuff that was slid into the articles, or do you have the replacement issue?
I don't recall how many of the bogus issues made it through the printers and into circulation before the errors were discovered.
The replacement has all the gaffs fixed. If I recall, the cover on the replacement issue has a picture of a kitchen with a wood ceiling and dark fireslate countertops.
No ...
You got the other 153....
not the real one that's really 351 which really isn't in official exsistence.. Really...

You need to recalibrate your ring with this code:
153-351
My ring doesn't have that code available.What now ?

For all of you dying to see what all this is about, there used to be a thread over on the JLC forum that had the pictures and some of the text from the issue in question.
If I recall, over at JLC they were certainly enjoying a laugh or two at FHB's expense.
I didn't bury Paul.

Don't tell any one this.
But if you print out this whole thread. Then take every 3rd message, Then every 5th word in each selected message, then the first letter of each of the selected words (3-5-1) then you will find the secret message.

It's a quote from the movie, "the shining."
http://www.filmsite.org/shin3.html
"Pacing back and forth in their apartment, Wendy considers taking the Snow-cat to notify the Fire Service rangers that they are evacuating the premises: "If Jack won't come with us, I'll just have to tell them that we're goin' by ourselves." Wendy finds Danny in his bedroom where he incants the mantra "Redrum," and speaks trance-like in the low, gutteral, growling voice of Tony, telling her that Danny's personality has been taken over by Tony, his alter ego: "Danny's not here, Mrs. Torrance... Danny can't wake up, Mrs. Torrance...Danny's gone away, Mrs. Torrance." To cut the hotel off from the outside world, Jack disconnects important components from the inside of the CB radio."
But I am not sure what the intent is here ???

Actually, it's been said that particular issue had irrefutable proof contained in the indicia that Taunton Press is owned by Lowes.
If you play the "White Album" backwards... Paul McCartney says "351...351...351"
so what did you think of my copy of 351????

I'd have thought a lot more if you'd gone ahead and sold it to me.
Remember, I got first dibs if you ever come across another copy.
Actually, I think the better question would be...Between you, and Cynthia, and JMO, LisaL, Aimless, Plantlust, Pi and all the others...Just what exactly was NOT done by at least one of you ?;)

How might I tell the dif between the subscription copy sent thru the mail and a store shelf copy when buying from the internet?
Is there anything different on the cover?
