Your stepfather seems like a corporation killer.

Straight sticks, players who don't wear helmets, and boards devoid of advertising.
I actually found this in a used guitar I just bought...

Here's another one for ya, Rod: The velcro closure cuffs on my otherwise-perfectly-fine yardwork gloves were falling apart, so I used a little bit of nylon webbing from a ratcheting corner clamp, and a bit of velcro cable-wrap to make new cuffs!
