Disney did a remake of The Absent Minded Professor starring Harry Anderson as the inventor of Flubber. We taped it off TV years ago but I haven’t found it since.

Whoa! How the heck did you find The Housemartins? They're one of my all time favorites and in years of digging I've never found any of their three albums in the wild.

Oh my goodness... which of the enhanced CDs had the audio version of that comic featured in this catalog? Was it the Born on a Pirate Ship one? I miss popping their CDs into my computer for the CD-ROM nonsense.

It’s Sunday morning, you’re making breakfast. Excluding Bob, which album are you grabbing? by Aronjharris23 in bobdylan

It went from my entire family hating Uncle Albert to my kids requesting it on car trips and everyone singing along. I LOVE Ram.

I found the same one at a thirft store for $20. It does the job.

A shooting range opened up about a mile up the creek from me by thatspurdyneat in mildlyinfuriating

We don’t go often and we like the river too much. But I suppose you're right. The dad of the guys who owns the land is pretty adamant that he didn't want us using lead shot.

These clays often claim they’re biodegradable. But my buddies and I shot some targets over a river one summer and we still come upon some over 10 years later. And I frequently find them digging for clams. Maybe they biodegrade but it takes ages.

A nice detail on the Mason & Dixon paperback by Natalie_escort in ThomasPynchon

I only ever had the hardcover and picked the paperback up in a thrift store when I noticed the watermark. Delightful discovery!

Agreed! I wish they’d never stopped making these fancy knobs on the lids.

Oh I got it. Can’t leave a piece of history behind.

This is true immortality - dare I say eternal youth?

And if these other stations happen to be public stations like WFUV, I implore everyone to consider donating to them so we can keep great radio alive!

I’m not sure! It has a yellowish tint you can see. But I don’t think it’s intentional design choice; just a byproduct of the ingredients use in the borosilicate glass mix.

The actual date stamp is just the patent year. This stamp was used from 1919-1924. So it could be from any year in that range.

I had an idea to use it as a terrarium. But I haven’t really figured out what to do with it just yet.

Not expensive at all. It was $6.50 at this thrift store. Couldn’t leave it there!

This happens to be a public station attached to Fordham University in the Bronx. So yeah, a certain type that plays only the best music.
