This won't Hurt a Bit
And We'll Respect You in the Morning

If this is your first time, we'll be gentle. If you've been here before but need a little refresher in the way we do things around here, this will serve to help re-orient you when you're lost:

Feature

It's just that. Like every other publication on or off line, we have a feature story. Something we think is worthy of your attention. They vary widely, because we're advocates of paying attention to everything from the sublime to the ridiculous. We also think you should pay attention to how often we use cliches, but not enough to write a feature about it. Get the picture?

Net Worth

Online you find a lot of sites screaming about their worthiness, but we beg to doffer. Also - wherever possible, we try to unearth some obscure gem we find might be worth your time to peruse. Simply; Net Worth is about the Internet. And what it's worth.

AC/DC

Analog Crap/ Digital Crappier is what Todd Levin talks aboutwhen he translates real world adventures that have no place onlineinto bits and bites for you to chew on.

Smoking Jacket

At the intersection of art and the trailer park there are a lot of accidents; Smoking Jacket is the police report.

Field Recordings

In the heart of every docial circle lurks a modern day legend. These are the conversations with the everyman hero.

Feed Hollywood Quick - go to the movies! Those poor movie stars are starving and for pennies a day, you too can help them, and in return, you get to feel better about yourself.

Target Audience

Ads are aimed at someone, right? Here we try to divine just who they're talking to, since it so rarely feels like they're talking to us.

Decomposing

You catch yourself singing along with the top hits on the radio all the time, Decomposing asks, just what are you saying?.

Compulsion

Not all consumerism is bad - here we try to give you the best of the best - the rare products that are indeed worth hype. These are the things that make you say "I want it I want I want it!"

Posedown

No matter how well trained you are, some social situations are baffling. Here's a guide to faking your way through with the best of them.

The Biswick Files

Smug was the first magazine online to give voice to the most under-represented group on the Internet - the lonely elderly. Here our septuagenarian Sherman T. Biswick uses his life experience to address your most pressing questions.

Mysterydate

Believe it or not there are still places you can go where people don't discuss their connection speeds. Field reports from the real world, and generally good reasons to stay online.

And such and Such

Not long enough for an article, not short enough for a bullet point, there are tasty morsels for your consumption.

Blab

Your chance to talk back and get a few things off your chest and onto the Internet, where they belong.

Kissing Booth

People who love Smug. No, wait, people who Smug loves. Wait. It's like an ad, but it's not. No one gets paid, but no one gets hurt either.

Freakshow

It's a masthead, a list of the people who bring Smug fresh from the oven onto your doorstep.

Bumping Uglies

Todd Levin is our sage sex columnist skilled in the art of love and other confusing sports. We almost called this column "Ouch! You're on my hair!" This column is now retired, but can be found in our archives, issues 1-22.

Archive

This is our junk drawer - previous issues of smug, awards, dirty socks, a phillips screwdriver, those little plastic things you put in the middle of your 45s....
