Good luck with that space travel to the promised land. Another rediculous lie sold on TV by people looking for a budget made of freshly printed money.

What'chu' goin' on about Willis?

Alien Astronaut Theory says we were seeded here by extraterrestrials.

Giorgio Tsoukalos explains it on The History Channel. It couldn't be on the History Channel if is wasn't real history!

I'd pay a little more if they marked the foil end. Something tells me they are not going to though

This is a sad year for my business partner and I we are closing shop the last four years
wholesale supplies have quadrupled. It does hurt to let over 50 employees go.
We have no choice in the matter never made a dime in the last ten years just pay everyone else.
$1.50 price increase BFD.

I'm sorry to learn this news. It's a crying shame that our government these days punishes entrepreneurship.

I hope your next business venture enjoys great success.

The government does nothing but punish us all. Of course they have buddies. They punish us too.

The 1% is a mandated network of whitelisted have-alls, namely government officials.

Me too! In fact, I'd bet a nice layer of PB, followed by a good dousing of Hershe's Chocolate Syrup would be THE BOMB!

Speaking of downsized tasty cakes, has anyone tried to buy a half-gallon of ice cream lately?

Looks like time to stock up on 400/600V caps.

Note that the real M150s are still cheaper AND have copper leads, unlike those "new improved" lines at twice the price, which add insult to injury with STEEL leads (check the fine print)! Non-inductive winding with steel leads, brilliant! Bean counters at work.

I stocked up on NOS 6PS orange drops two years ago. Cost about $1.50 each and I had to dry them out in a convection oven for 3 days at 225 deg F to get them back down in spec., then store them in Mason jars over desiccant.

But it's like land, they're not making it any more ('cept in Hawaii o'course!).

BTW that History Channel guy LOOKS like an alien himself, check out the hairdo, freaked me out!

Snacky Cakes I haven't seen, I think they're like Heath bars, we can't get them in Canada either.

Just move to NY! Uncle Andy is promising no taxes for 10 years if you bring your biz to wonderful Noo Yawk. (And those of us who have been struggling in NY trying to pay taxes & keep up with a zillion fershlugginer regulations - too effin' bad for you, oops I mean us.) Gubner Andy will also personally deliver a pony to each and every family member that moves in with the new biz, until he runs out of 'em, then he'll substitute unicorns.

Not inferior at all, I use 'em all the time. Excellent sound and never a failure. And with nearly 10,000 to sell it will take a while until they're all gone. So stock up on 'em while you can do it on the cheap. Day will come though, when they're all out and the new ones $2 - 3 - 4 - more.

Mouser has a bunch of super hi price film caps in their catalog, anywhere from @ $15 to $60. Anybody have an idea what those are for. Geeze at those prices they better sound ... well they better turn my meager talent into something incredible the way practice isn't doing. Somehow I don't think that would happen so I'll stick with the 150's for now.

More than a spoonful makes you a decadent filthy capi'tlist.

Yes, these days you have to buy 1 and a half boxes to get a half gallon. Just like the coffee companies downsized their pound cans to 13 ounces, then 11, back in the 70's. Shtinkers.

I'm stickin' with Ben & Jerry's. Although Lever Bros took 'em over, a pint's still a pint, 16 oz.

"More than a mouthful is wasted" F. Zappa - 200 Motels. But he wasn't talkin' ice cream . . . maybe another sort of tasty cake. :shock: ;)
