Another insane get: Gene Simmons. Gene had two pens in his hand – one blue, one white. He was just about to sign my tape in blue, which would’ve looked terrible because the sig would be invisible on the black album cover. I asked if he’d sign in white, instead. “Of course,” he said. Without missing a beat, he followed it with, “Would you like me to make you a sandwich, as well?” You gotta love the sense of humor on the guy. 👅🔥🔥🔥

This little 70's trivia robot named 2-XL came in today, he ran on 8-track and every time he spoke or made a sound his eyes flashed, it's a pretty cool little trivia game, there are multiple tapes for it too so that you can play multiple games. It even has a cheesy sense of humor! The gifs below show a later model from the 80's.
