PSA for all model train / diorama loving goons. There are a ton of videos on youtube of people building scenes, models, and such and explaining how they do it. Like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GR8X5tlnQKI

We used to have ads for a hardware store chain here that used cartoon dogs as mascots and they'd end ads with "dogalog out now" cause they were dogs instead of cats lol

In the 80s and 90s somehow Crutchfield started sending me their catalogs. Teenage me used to look through them and imagine what killer car stereo systems I could put together.

We used to get these catalogs that sold all kinds of things. I can't remember who made them - maybe Montgomery Ward? It was probably several other companies as well. I loved going through them and looking for dollhouse stuff.

For some reason, one day it was like everyone in our town got some sexy clothing catalog in the mail. Like a Victoria's Secret or Fredericks of Hollywood-type thing. It wasn't just us. Over the next day or two at school the chatter from everyone is about this catalog showing up in their mailboxes, too. Like some mutant version of woods porn or something. Also, QVC used to have a catalog they'd mail out, for when just watching the channel 24/7 wasn't enough, and you wanted to peruse the selection of merch for more than 10 minutes per item.

The Internet Archive is a nice resource for browsing old catalogs. Here's a smattering of the Computer Shopper catalogs I mentioned in an earlier post: https://archive.org/details/computer-shopper-february-1988/ https://archive.org/details/computer-shopper-september-1994/ https://archive.org/details/computer-shopper-2000-07 Also here's some IKEA catalogs written in I think Swedish: https://archive.org/details/catalog_Ikea-1986/ https://archive.org/details/catalog_Ikea-2000 And here's an American staple, the Sears catalog, this was the hoilday wishbook from 1985: https://archive.org/details/1985-sears-christmas-wishbook-catalog/

One of the low level pranks me and my friends used to pull was getting the mail-in information request forms from magazines. Some of them numbered the ads, and you would fill out the card, and circle the number of the product you were interested in. This way, you could request catalogs from multiple companies on a single card. You'd fill out the card with your victim's information, circle a bunch of numbers at random and mail it in, If you did this from four or five magazines, you could insure that your target started getting two to three hundred catalogs per month. When you are 12 years old, this is the height of humorous subterfuge.

I want lists of catalogs I can order for toilet reading. Archie McGee still exists I got that one. What else has dumb stuff to look at and is free or nearly so? My mom loves to feed birds and squirrels and has a collection of cat garden gnomes so of course I got her a squirrel feeder where the squirrel sticks its head up inside and it looks like a squirrel garden gnome while it's snacking.

Amazon, Wal Mart, and Target all send toy catalogs to my house around Christmas. My kids love digging through them. I get giant ULINE catalogs mailed to me at work that are 2 inches thick and I just have to throw them away. Otherwise I will start browsing and then 20 minutes later I realize I have been looking at cubicles and desks that I really don't care about

Years ago when colleges used to have catalogs was a good time. A firmly printed list of classes and requirements you could flip back and forth through. I think the last time I saw an actual professionally put together, prestige-grade college catalog from anywhere was probably 15 years ago, but that was from an art school. But even community colleges used to have really nice ones.
