The Off Topic Topic

Just ask what their version of cupcakes are called.

Went to a big antique mall that opened up not too long ago for shits and giggles.

Scored a #13 Swingline stapler that has never been used, still in the box from the late 60s/early 70s, for my TPS cover sheets. 
Bought some pencil ephemera; box of Eberhard Faber #3 Mongols from the long-defunct Pennsylvania Central Railroad, and scored a pack of late '40s/'50s Coca-Cola pencils.  The lacquer is pristine on them.

Saw a Royal Model 10 that I may go back for, it's seriously undervalued;  it needs a good cleaning and adjustment, but it has the glass bezels.  Definitely going back for the Civil Defense helmet, on the off chance I ever get back into emergency management. TURN OUT THOSE LIGHTS

So aren't the silver ones with like side ribbing on them, you used to occasionally see in old films ?

I love antique malls. I like to get old signs for my dad.

Yeah, the silver helmets for air raid wardens predated the all-white helmets.

It's hilarious to see all the tupperware and kitchen appliances, and get flashbacks to 1974.

I had to explain what a Percolator was to my wife.

She also didn't know what Jiffy Pop was when we started dating.

Young people.

"But why would you shake the microwave?"

I didn't know what Jiffy Pop was until 30 seconds ago.

I'd rather just pop seeds myself in a pan.
