AARRG! I was just about to post that, Lauren!

I once bought a very old book at a flea market. It was printed in 1874. Inside was a business card from "California Feed & Fuel Co." which was located on Main Street in Los Angeles. I wonder if it's still there. :-)

As I recall, "Sunshine" was also a very briefly lived series.

Isn't that what duct tape was invented for in the first place...patching airplane skin during WWII?

Someone should post a NoR article about that. :-)

Yeah, saw that one coming.

It reminds me of the old headline from The Onion, "Chaplinesque Rapscallion New Leader Of Germany's National Socialist Party."

I knew a guy who did the same thing when his office was repeatedly broken into. Of course, this was the 80's. The string was tied to the doorknob, and when the burglar broke in he completed the final number.

This isn't neat, it's horrifying. What's the point of posting it here?
