Free printers on Craigslist.

Ooh, good call, you guys. Will attempt to attain free printer.

I've used regular counter cleaner stuff and ... that's probably about it. Any ideas?

lisah, I would use any juice from a citrus fruit. Lemon or orange work like magic on that stuff.

Did anyone post the Futon Critic's Top 50 Episodes of 2005 last week?

Androgynous Teddy girls of 1955.

17 year old Josie Buchan was a fashion student with Russell’s future wife, Shirley, at the college Russell also attended. Josie introduced Ken to her Teddy Girl friends. Here she shows off a thin black velvet tie and D.A haircut. It would have been incredibly rare to find a woman sporting this type of men’s hairstyle back then.

Caffeine Free: Blue Light Makes People Alert at Night

There's much more than meets the eye to how we perceive light, researchers have learned in recent years. The latest revelation: blue light helps fend off drowsiness in the middle of the night.

A small study of 16 volunteers found that exposure to short-wavelength light, or blue light, perked them up immediately.

"Light exposure to this system, particularly blue light, directly reduces sleepiness,” said Steven Lockley of the Brigham and Women's Hospital. “Subjects exposed to blue light were able to sustain a high level of alertness during the night when people usually feel most sleepy, and these results suggest that light may be a powerful countermeasure for the negative effects of fatigue for people who work at night."

K-Mart was ahead of its time....

hmmm... My mom had a D. A. back then. But her clothes were conventional- so I don't think she ever looked like that .

My first thought was "tommy needs one of these!" And then I figured Gud should have one too, and the list started getting unwieldy, so I figure one for each Buffista. To start.

I need one of those.

My first thought was "tommy needs one of these!"

Yeah, I've seen videos, etc. of R/C jets like this. Very cool, if rather expensive. (I've seen jets as sophisticated as this one for sale for $20,000+. I think the engines themselves are about $2,000 apiece. So my big fear is if something goes wrong, you're left with a rather expensive hole in the ground.)

Oh, and somewhere on the web is a video of an eight-engined R/C B-52 crashing. It looked just like a real crash - it dove behind some trees, followed shortly by the appearance of a big pilar of smoke - yes, crahes of R/C jets often result in fires....

Ah, here it is: [link] (just pictures.)

Damn, the thing is as big as some homebuilt aircraft.
