They look like wide versions of these:

An Alaris IV pump channel. Imagine a plastic rectangle about the size of a thick hardcover book, with a hinged door on the front that you can open by pulling a lever.

This is a screenshot of Q from Star Trek: The Next Generation. He's standing on the bridge of the Enterprise. He's got dark hair and is wearing goofy future clothes. He's standing with his arms crossed and is talking to somebody to his right. There's a speech bubble on the bottom of the picture that makes it look like he's saying the skeet I've quoted.

Do you have any places near you that sell them in bulk, with the pull-handle dispenser?

A large bulk display of Jelly Belly jelly beans. There are two rows of 12 dispensers. Each dispenser has its own flavor, and they're dispensed by pulling a handle on the bottom.

I might be waiting a while.

The one card I need (#387 Fred Stanley) hasn't been put into packs yet.

Billy Suter@suterb42· 29d

And now we wait...

This is an open binder full of 1980 Topps cards, open to page 43. The bottom right card is missing, and it is the only card I need to complete the set. The counter to the right says 725/726.

😈

The first page (9 cards) of the 1980 Topps baseball set. A counter on the right side of the picture says I have 666 out of the 726 cards in the set, hence the smiling devil emoji.

A 1975 Topps card of Cubs outfielder Pete LaCock. His dad was game show host Peter Marshall, and his aunt was actress Joanna Dru.

Billy Suter@suterb42· Jun 29

A 1964 Topps card of Cleveland outfielder/second baseman Woody Held. He's in the typical post-swing baseball card pose.

It's not the first time two twins have played for a Pittsburgh sports team.

A 1954 Topps card of twins Ed and John O'Brien, who were infielders for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Pictures of various Star Trek characters playing instruments (Scotty playing bagpipes, Riker playing trombone, Harry and Keiko playing clarinets, Data playing violin, Q playing trumpet) are overlaid onto a laser background like you'd see in old Olan Mills photographs from the 1980s. The caption reads "You don't hate jazz. You fear jazz with its lack of boundaries."

Win and you'll be in 🎶ooh... The Chase!🎶

Rockapella (an acapella group) singing on the TV show "Where In The World is Carmen Sandiego?" You can tell this is from the 90s, because of the lack of pixels and the abundance of 90s clothes.

Also, here's an quick mockup of what Hunter's gonna look like in a Pirates uniform:

Hunter Stratton pitching in a Pirates uniform. This picture was, of course, taken when he first played for the team.

Rockridge? Rockridge?

Billy Suter@suterb42· Jun 18

Yeah, Charles Nelson Reilly, he's our man
He can't heal the sick with the touch of his hand
He can't walk on water, can't make wine flow;
Just another greedy actor on The Late Late Show!

I haven't bought many cards lately, but I found some stuff recently that I had to pick up. #CardSky

On the left is a stack of 46 cards from the 1963 Fleer set. A few are off-center, but they all have sharp corners. A smiling Ron Hansen is on top of the stack.

There's an autographed card of actor Tony Todd on the right. This one goes in my Star Trek autograph collection.

Reminds me of this:

This is a screenshot of the poem "Maybe Dats Your Pwoblem Too" by Jim Hall. It's too big to fit into alt text, but hopefully you can search for a text version of it and read it if you can't read it from the picture. It's really good.

My tabby cat Kira is asleep on a gray checkered sheet. Her front left paw is straight out, and her right front paw is bent.

Here's a close-up of Kira's left front paw. Her toe beans are pink, and her paw pad is black. She also has an extra thumb on her front paws.

Google does something really cool as well.

If you do a Google search for the band Angine de Poitrine, a triangle will pop up on the bottom of the page. Click it, and polka dots will appear over the search window.

Oh yeah? Well, I'm on a

The intro sequence to the 1980s TV show Highway to Heaven. The show title is overlaid onto a blurry picture of somebody walking down a road.

M O O N, that spells "first pitch".

Bill Fagerbakke when he played Tom Cullen in the original movie for The Stand. He's a big blonde galoot that's wearing a T-shirt and overalls.

EPIC

Two people are making pizza in a Papa John's commercial. The camera is focused on the farthest one. She's looking at the one closest to the camera, who is out of focus. She's got a goofy look on her face because she's making fun of how the other person called the pizza they're making an EPIC stuffed crust.

Lastly, here's a train car you could use to deliver "presents" to your "friends".

This is a faded red train car sitting in a field. It may not look like much, but it's actually a Peacekeeper Rail Garrison car. This was designed in the 1980s as a way to launch Peacekeeper nuclear missiles far away from anywhere that would've been taken out by a first strike.

There were planes outside, too! Here's the weirdest one:

The Conair NC-131H has four large turboprop engines and a second cockpit sticking out of the front of the plane, far forward of what would normally be the main cockpit. This was known as the Total In-Flight Simulator, and the front cockpit could be set up to mimic other planes and even the Space Shuttle.

Billy Suter@suterb42· May 21

hehhehe

Here's a Boeing X-32A Joint Strike Fighter prototype. It's got a large air intake under the cockpit that makes it look like it's laughing.

Billy Suter@suterb42· May 21

I wonder what kind of info the Air Force got from these...

A TIE Fighter and X-Wing from Star Wars sit in a large hangar. I have no idea why they're here.

Billy Suter@suterb42· May 21

Speaking of wild...

A Ryan X-13 Vertijet delta-wing plane sits straight up on its vertical launch pad. It's too bad crazy stuff like this never really worked.

Billy Suter@suterb42· May 21

Look at this wild thing!

A Grumman X-29A jet hangs from the ceiling of a large hangar. It's painted white and has sick red & blue stripes down the sides and curving over the wings. Speaking of the wings, they're actually angled forward. It's hard to believe something like this actually flew.

Mercury, Gemini, Apollo.

This is an unused Mercury capsule that was used for parts. It's really small! I wouldn't want to be stuck in here for any length of time.

Here's an unused Gemini-B capsule. It was meant to dock with a laboratory module and to orbit the poles in order to take picture of China and the USSR. NASA messed around with this idea for 6 years before giving up on it in 1969.

Here's the Apollo 15 command module Endeavour. It's larger than the other two, and you can tell it's been used.
