"\"&lt;p&gt;After repeated efforts to beat the magazine&amp;#8217;s controversial and gratuitous formula into submission, Larry Flynt Publications, ironically enough, flushed BLUNT Snowboard Magazine after only one season of production.&lt;P&gt;But just prior to Flynt&amp;#8217;s ill-advised decision, the staff of delicate geniuses had been tinkering with the next issue for the new cycle. And from the Portland-based offices, momentum mounted: BLUNT Snowboard Magazine #23 &amp;#8212; The Gay Issue. Snowboarding&amp;#8217;s Celebration of Diversity. If the April issue hadn&amp;#8217;t been BLUNT&amp;#8217;s demise, September&amp;#8217;s &amp;#8212; the first of the new season &amp;#8212; surely would have.&lt;P&gt;Though it never made it to the printer, features for #23 were to include coverage of the &amp;#8217;98 Westbeach Classic, an interview with Nicola Thost (straight off her gold medal win at the Winter Olympics&amp;#8217; inaugural inclusion of halfpipe), a cross-continental Board Aid wrap-up, and the US Open. &lt;P&gt;Smaller sidebars in the works disseminated the plight of the snowy camel toe, fishing with the deer-haired penis fly, how to shag fruit, and on-hill knowledge of converting PowerBar wrappers into makeshift UV-coated eyewear &amp;#8212; with Cody Dresser. The magazine had even attracted its first groupie, a smoldering vixen named Kristin from Seattle.&lt;P&gt;Up until now, fewer than 10 people in the world had set eyes on this cover. It was found, in San Francisco of all places, buried deeply on a Zip disk in the possession of the former art director. Sadly, nearly two and a half years after the death of BLUNT, this is all that remains.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
