<p>Thanks for that, Mark! I had no idea. Great story about selling lamps on-line back in the day. I remember visiting this site back in the late 90's but never actually registered until 2009. Thanks again for keeping it going through the years!<img src="http://www.bkserv.net/images/Grin.gif"/></p>

<p>Thank you! It was truly something to see. My Vespa had a tail light that stuck out and I could rest/ balance a lava lamp box sideways across it, then I could just keep stacking them up. As it got higher, the stack got wider to where it was two boxes wide. It could all come crashing down if I didn't get my tie-downs in place quickly enough.

<p>Thank you! It was truly something to see. My Vespa had a tail light that stuck out and I could rest/ balance a lava lamp box sideways across it, then I could just keep stacking them up. As it got higher, the stack got wider to where it was two boxes wide. It could all come crashing down if I didn't get my tie-downs in place quickly enough. I ran two of these straps from underneath the rear fender up and over the pile of boxes. In my hey day, the top of the pile was higher than my helmet. My wife thought I was going to die. I can't for the life of me figure out why I never photographed it. It was before camera phones and I probably was just too busy to deal with film!<br/> <br/> <cite>Keith said:</cite></p>

<p>I'll let you in on a secret that I have never shared before. Martina Goo was my cat. And if you remember Paul Goo and May Goo, those guys were my other cat and my dog, respectively. I wanted to start with the "syndicate" thing - to have a community right from the get go, so I recruited my pets. Ha!<br></br> <br></br> <cite>Modulo '70 said:</cite></p>

I second that emotion! I've been a contributor here since '08, shortly after the new look and community forum was set up. I think I first viewed OG in about 99/2000 when my friend Paul 'Flock' would come to my place to use this newish internet thingy, dial-up an' all. We would not post but just look at the lovely lava pics. Who remembers Martina's gallery! It must have been this long ago because the recognised inventor E.C. Walker was still alive. I always remember when Paul told me he had died…

<p>Excellent 20 year writeup, Mark! That waybackmachine site image screams 90-00's internet, love it! Took on quite the task, juggling that many lamps on two wheels, haha.
