I like to daydream about an alternate reality where my missus would allow me to have a USS lounge table in the front room. I'd be really fastidious with the coasters, though. Wouldn't want any coffee rings on the take off strip.
This one actually had coffee stains and some bird crap on it from storage so had to spend the day cleaning it from bow to stern :-D
i hope you didn't take it in the shower with you :shock: :shock: :shock:

Nope, I could think of a few in here who might do that :-D I just took it all apart and made sure that all the dirt from the last 25 years was carefully removed and all sticker kept intact. I am still considering whether to buy the replacement set from Cobrastickers but at $100 a set I need to make sure that I first of all decide to keep this bad boy and secondly find the original stickers to be in so bad shape that I need to replace them.

Its really picky trying to lay those small bandages but once layed it was easy with a red marker :-D
I was sure you'd cut your finger for the blood ;-)
