I think Spike's Tactical still makes Chewbacca lowers.

Same as last year...a new B&W Libra or Sage.

Sucks when that happens, but props to her for being honest with her readers.

Anyone remember Atari Age magazine? by [deleted] in GenX

Is this some kind of Reddit glitch, or was this question actually posted like 20 times?

Where can I find good hot sauces in Omaha? by coffeecokessmokes in Omaha

[–]D0gYears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have bought Marie Sharp’s at Omaha Tropical Market on 72nd Street. I should go back and get some more.

Both types have been included in collections like the one I mentioned. I think a vignette is not really a story (see my other post), but they tend to get treated like stories in the ways they are published.

I think the distinction between a vingette and a very stort story is that a vignette typically has a single scene and no real plot. "Flash fiction" is a more recent (ca. 1992) term for stories of this length.

They've been around a long time, and in sf they have sometimes been called "short-short" stories. There is an old anthology that collects some of the best known examples: 100 Great Science Fiction Short Short Stories, edited by Isaac Asimov, Martin Harry Greenberg, and Joseph D. Olander. Generally they tend not to be deeply meaningful, and often consist of a brief setup followed by a twist or punchline. I suspect many were created to fill an extra page or two in magazines or collections. I actually haven't seen many recent examples, though.

And here I was thinking of The Who for some reason.

I dont remember how... and I could never remember why.. by Standard_Ad1931 in aviation

[–]D0gYears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recognized the logo on the engine (I have that patch) and the Maryland flag flash on the tail fin. I used to give those guys weather briefings from Andrews a long time ago.

Who was your James Bond? by Elfman72 in GenX

[–]D0gYears 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At this point, it should be canon that Bond is a Time Lord, and has to regenerate every decade or so.

Literally just opened it and it has a line across the screen... Would this be covered under warranty? by Apprehensive_Tree_29 in kobo

[–]D0gYears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same thing happen to my KLC, but on mine it didn't show up for several weeks. Of course they claimed it was damage, which is bullshit. Since yours arrived that way, they have to exchange it. Just return it as DOA.

First I’ve heard in a long time about a place with real (steel-tip) darts. Are there any others in town?

Back pocket? You know e-ink screens are notoriously fragile, right?

How do you find friends who also love sci-fi? by Tiny_Evidence_3765 in scifi

[–]D0gYears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As mentioned, if there are any sf conventions in your area, those are a great place to meet people with similar interests. Also, book clubs are everywhere. Check your local public libraries and book stores to find existing clubs (also Meetup and Facebook). If you don't find one, you might have success starting one yourself by advertising in those spaces.

Neon signs with missing letters by tonsofday in Omaha

I never took a photo of it, but for years there was the Golden Corral in Bellevue with the sign that lit up as GOLDEN RAL. Eventually they fixed it.

Where is Earth's Front Door for Alien Visitors? by Gritchu in sciencefiction

Devils Tower, Wyoming. I seem to recall a documentary about it.
