watching TNG the other day, and i became curious about those black pyramid things that sit on some tables in ten forward
they looked familiar. like something i had seen in a radio shack catalogue as a kid.
sure enough, they turn out to be a Bandai "Pair Match" game from the 80s!

  TNG Ten Forward Table Centerpiece
  Just figured I'd post about something kinda neat I learned about a month or so ago (came across an eBay auction for one)... I don't how many of us would've actually noticed this, but on TNG they had these funky-looking pyramidal centerpieces on most of the tables. Ever wonder what they were...
