TV shows on VHS? I never watched any I hadn't put there myself. For some reason I'm imagining they were expensive on VHS. Is that my imagination?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Buffy had little sets on VHS. I think the FE still has mine.
ETA: I just realized that the old FE=Favorite Ex now works for the same person with its original ME meaning FE=First Evil. Dude. I'm prescient.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I bought seasons 1-3 of Buffy (those actually were just six episodes in each set). Then I bought pirated VHS tapes of seasons one and two to get the ones that weren't in the official set. I don't even remember what the official ones cost... $20? (eta: maybe more like $30?) Anyway, they were expensive on a per-episode basis.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
VHS is still alive and well in the film/tv production industry. Too many of our clients can't work with DVD screeners, much as we'd prefer them to.

ION, Nature is funny.
Birdwatchers who gathered to see a rare swallow on the Angus coast were horrified when they saw it being snatched and eaten by a hungry hawk.
Twitchers headed for Lunan Bay as word spread that enthusiasts had discovered a bird so unusual that it was last seen in the area 20 years ago.
However, the red-rumped swallow, which is usually to be found in the southern Mediterranean, did not last long.
A sparrowhawk swooped and snatched the swallow from the roof of a building.
Mike Sawyer, a member of a Dundee group comprising RSPB members, said: "We were absolutely horrified. That's life I suppose."
An RSPB spokesman added: "It's very unfortunate that it was devoured after such a short space of time, and before more people had seen it.
"Sparrowhawks do feed on small birds, and this one was probably not a great student of what is rare and what is not.
"Sadly, it is just one of those things."

That's just..... really horrifically great.
Watch, a sparrow's going to shit on me on my way out of the door.
Still.at.work. Bah. But I think I just unravelled my loop. Yay!

My husband was just telling me about that.

Ok. Bright shiny spot in my day so far?
I went to order 2 books from Amazon for a total of $32.something. It wound up at $20.something because I had leftover gift certificate. I'll take it!
I have a birthday party tonight, so things may get better.

ita, I can't even do my own. If I had to fight with your neighbors over machines, and have to deal with them calling the manager when I was three minutes late getting my stuff out of the dryer (and it wasn't the only dryer), I'd have to kill them, and frame you for the crime, because I'm not tough enough to make it in prison.
