    Burnt Offerings (1976)

    Indy IV (beware... spoiler pics)

    Fuzzy burner: save your Feds from fuzziness

    I had a beat old Federation in grey that had become saggy, pilled and fuzzy. In looking into the Camptown sale I popped into COW and read about a method of relieving one's hat of fuzzies and tried it out. It worked! You spray a bit of rubbing alcohol onto the hat. You apply a match. You let...
