  • A strange item from my own archives

    I don't have a clear recollection of how this Polaroid came into my possession. I guess Steve Kirk was going to get some sort of ID and had
    this taken at the local Walgreens or office store or something. And he
    must have left it at my house one of the times he visited there back in
    1997 or 1998.

    So here he is, Steve Kirk in his later (homeless) years:

    http://backglass.org/williams/kordek_archives/steve_kirk_photos_1997_or_so_edit.jpg

    If he did actually pull an Andy Kaufman and is out there somewhere
    reading RGP he's going to kill me for sharing his photo.

    Don must never have owned one of those classic Stern games since his name is painted onto the PF in very visible areas!

    WHA?!?!?! You love classic Ballys, but not Sterns??? You need to play a Meteor that is set up correctly. It's a blast!

    I don't think I know you anymore! ;)
