Just want to say that the Coast is not fit (most of it anyway) to line my bird’s cage…..stopping using so much coloured ink and in particular red…..otherwise it’s a fair read….for him and me.

  9. I think Coastal Weekly Magazine is indeed for the birds. Before the days of paper, we’d just yell the news in eachothers’ faces in the streets. The morning ruckus made such a din, we’d often shatter windows on Spring Garden Road. It was easier to shatter them then, though. We used winter ice for windows. Come spring, folks would have to use a pulp-wood sheet to “pape the holes.”
    “Time to pape all your holes, Edith,” I’d scream during the morning news. “TIME TO PAPE YOUR HOLES!!”
    When ragamuffins scribbled on the pape, folks would come around to read it. This is how The Coastal Weekly Magazine was incorporated hours later.

  10. Gentleman, is that you? I’m not dead like you thought, I was buried with my crutches all this time under a frozen pile of icy pulp, at the bus stop by the long sandwich shop on Spring Garden!! The pape-y Coast hole kept me warm & alive–that and the sound of your flemmy screams. Oh, and I licked the ink. Red is best. Goodness gracious, that bird-loving, carzy rag is a miracle! A miracle!
