I haven't been to a comedy club in 15 years but in my opinion a large part of the fun is actually being at the club. (And the over priced, 2 drink minimums) I do applaud these performers trying to find a alternative in these trying tim

The best part of this anecdote is that you mentioned Banyan Vines. Spent a handful of years installing/maintaining Banyan Vines network in the early 90's.

Try buying a PS4/PS3/Xbox controller. There is a good chance it is a good looking fake. Apple accessories are another hit or miss target.

Pete Frame's book are very fun to read. Good luck finding them. My first introduction to Pete's work was from a poster that was included in a Paul McCartney Box set for Flowers In The Dirt.

That is certainly one way. If Amazon is getting product from multiple suppliers, they can easily taint their inventory with a single bad vendor. Then there is always the human element. Amazon has a reputation as a somewhat 'crummy&#x27

I understand the difference between SOLD by Amazon, and Amazon doing fulfillment. Products SOLD by Amazon are still not 100% guaranteed legit. That being said, I have not had any problem returning/getting credit for knockoff (or questi

Fully agree. I would love to see a modern version (complete with control wheel) in HD with smooth frame rates. Still have found memories of sitting in front of an RCA XL-100 console tv with my eyes burning trying to catch all those bombs. W
