  1. "Daddy, I want the Buck Rogers Instigator" or whatever it's called. As for that ugly linoleum, did you have to remind us? I had forgotten about this stuff that was in homes. TNT for Wile E. Coyote. If we knew someone who we disliked, the expression was, "He isn't worth the powder to blow him to hell." Great catalog items.

    1. those Buck Rogers guns are still on ebay, but now, a lot of garage tinkerers are making ray guns EVEN COOLER! using old drills, 1/4 Hp, 1/2 HP... BIG GUNS! and tiny ones too, not that size matters, with all sorts of wires, tubes, hardline copper with brass fittings, and chrome gee gaws... there are a lot of fun people using scraps from thrift shops... and there are people using Nerf guns to make video game guns too
