Some time last year I’d ordered a single pair of German safety goggles from Restoration Hardware for a costume project. One pair. About $35.

One day I received a package from them: It contained a large sample assortment of various printer papers that they offer. Included was a note that this was a bonus for participating in their toner cartridge recycling program. I never did use the samples...

Egad, companies still print paper catalogues? And OED sized tomes of them?

Still, I admit I did find much geeky fun in the old Ambit "Tecknowledgey" catalogues, stuffed with application notes for all manner of weird and wonderful chippery. Wish I still had mine, but, they've long since fallen victim to the many moves.

We do, of course, require a photo of you modeling the aforementioned goggles. ^_^

Ugh. I hate unrequested catalogs. Every few months I get a ULine supplies... book, basically.

And the comment was funny but if you really want to know (and kill the funny) the NASA crawler transport has cabs at both ends so they just change what they call "front" for the ride back.
