Back in the day the beaches in Chicago would occasionally be covered in dead alewife fish. The smell was obnoxious. That saimin soup smelled just like it.

Yes, we all loved the Army field phone!
I had one similar to this is the early 90s, but only half the depth of this phone and with a thin retractable antenna. Was a very nice phone by Motorola. Way overpriced cell service at that time absolutely sucked.
I owned one of these Univox Compac-Piano keyboards back in the early 1970s.

The B-2 has the same wingspan as the Northrop YB-49:
Jack Northrop retired in 1952, bitter over the cancellation of his Flying Wing program. But Jack was able to see the culmination of his dream in April 1980, when he was given security clearance, and shown a model of Northrop’s new top-secret B-2 Flying Wing stealth bomber. The sleek, black B-2 was a beneficiary of Jack Northrop’s pioneering work on the Flying Wing program. Filled with emotion, and his eyes welling with tears, Northrop was reported to have said; “Now I know why God has kept me alive for the last 25 years.” He died 10 months later.

I believe the flying wing was featured in the '63 (?) movie version of "War of the Worlds" (with Gene Barry?). It dropped a "last ditch attempt" nuke on the tripods.

Heh! We've still got one.
Its successors have become more fancy-looking (lots of plastic masquerading as wicker).

Kibble, milkbones, and P Basses. And redheads.
This is similar to what my college had. Same banks of keyboards, but we had two walls worth of components. The original Moog.
The last polyphonic synthesizer made by Moog before their bankruptcy. This thing was such a dog, I’m not surprised. My old keyboard player had one. It was a bust. The two things that were consistent about it. It had a cool program where all the LED lights would chase each other in a pattern. The other was that it was guaranteed to have some issue at every sound check!
Memory Moog.

I had the Moog Source. It was an awesome sounding mono synth. The keyboard trigger wires were the issue on it.The last polyphonic synthesizer made by Moog before their bankruptcy.

I went through a couple replacement keyboards before calling it quits. Kind of a bummer it was not MIDI, too.
Don’t get me wrong. Moog was a great company. An even earlier keyboardist of mine had a Mini Moog. The Mini I referenced earlier in this thread. Damn thing was built like a rock. We did a killer garage band version of Never Been any Reason by Head East using it. It was quite cool.
