The best use I've found for an MA magazine is to use it as a cutting board for small pieces. The articles are not worth reading, nor are they un-biased. So, after a few uses, I pull off the shreaded pages and have a fresh cutting board. I go through this process several times before using up the whole magazine. By that time, another MA magazine arrives.
Before I discovered this use for the magazine, they went straight in the trash every month.
