Weird stomach spasms and a killer headache are keeping me awake tonight. Took a shower, took a Valium and took a browse through The RadioShack Catalog Archive.

Folks, this website is a MUST. Relive your misspent youth lusting after TSR-80 Color Computers and Armitron Robotic Arms while waiting for that midnight showing of Doctor Who to come back from commercial.

That's what I did with it, anywho...

Where did you get Valium? I thought you were anti drug, are they not a controlled substance? Now I know how you get Molly to bed so easy... j/k

Just because my primary physician doesn't have an "office" like most, Doctor T-Low opperates a fine pharmacy right there out of the back of his '72 El Camino :)

Oh! So you've *met* Dr. T-Low! I especially like his decorative gold tooth (or "Toof", as he says).
