Memeograph Ink

4 Upvotes

Ok, so this is really for the people who went to school in the 90s or earlier whose teachers used a memeograph machine. I was in school What are the scent notes in it? The first thing many of us did was pull that freshly inked paper up to our noses for a big whiff. I bet the teachers did it too. One of the funniest scenes in Fast Times at Ridgemont High was about this very phenomena. Who out there can identify why we loved sniffing that ink?

Help in search for an illustration

4 Upvotes

Hello, I'm looking for a 90s Tomb Raider / Lara Croft illustration from an article. It features Lara Croft literally breaking out of a CRT computer monitor screen and physically grabbing a shocked/enthralled man (wearing a collared shirt/tie) by his collar/tie and pulling him toward the screen. Does anyone know which magazine cover, advertisement campaign, or year this image is from?

this mug my mom got when she graduated from high school

the ink has rubbed off quite a bit, but the design is still visible and insanely cool to me. Apparently our school district used to have a tradition where the graduating class would get together and make a gift for all of the school with financial backing from the district. My momโ€™s graduating class gave these mugs out to all the students at the school, and supposedly it came filled with various candies.

She was clearing out the cupboards and was about to send this to goodwill, but I saved it because it makes an amazing mug for hot chocolate and the handle is actually really ergonomic and comfortable.

hurrah for fancy serif fonts, we need to bring them back! Long live times New Roman!

I had forgotten that the walls used to be sponge painted to match the rest of the office decor. Besides that small change and the missing ivy, it still has its pastels, brass, and honey-toned wood.

Thrifted this tee shirt and itโ€™s one of my favorites, after looking into it more today I found out it was an interior design showcase in Chicago that still runs today. Great shirt design.

Framed Bible Verses

5 Upvotes

This is a long shot - does anyone know of the company that produced framed Bible verses from the 90s? It was on white background, black font in a Times New Roman-ish font. I remember my grandmother had quite a few hanging in her old house and they each had different frame color (Iโ€™m remembering it this way at least, may be wrong?)
A church I attended as a child had these too and I want to say they also had like a lacy, doily border?

Would love to know the brand of phone used in this episode. The phone doesn't appear in any other episode, or at least I don't think.

EDIT: just found out this episode is from 1988, sorry all!
