I need to check and see if Half Price Books buys laserdiscs.
Got any Betamax?
8-tracks?
I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
8-tracks?
I remember the rotation we had in the car ('78 Caprice Classic) when I was a kid. ABBA Gold, The Best of The Statler Brothers, and The Best of Tom Jones.

Oh hush, you. When Pete moved to the States, he bought himself a laserdisc player. We accumulated a stack of laserdiscs, and have now almost completely replaced everything on DVD. But I'm NOT getting rid of the Super Deluxe Box Set Nightmare Before Christmas laserdisc. That one stays.

Our wings are not tired
I'm in the same boat with Laserdiscs. I have a crate with about 100 of them out in the garage. I have something like 6 of them in the house that I won't part with. I have the same Nightmare Before Christmas laserdisc boxed set. I also have one for Amadeus.

Somehow I knew you would have a similar problem. I just don't know where to take them to sell them off.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh, I didn't know about the Derby. I forgot to tivo it and so I didn't realize. I'm kinda glad I didn't watch it now. So sad.
And in other news, omg, this game is going into quadruple overtime! It's a good game, fun to watch, but I am so not this much invested in it. But now I've watched this far, so I have to keep watching. Surely someone will keel over from exhaustion shortly and allow someone else to score.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
So up until about 30 minutes ago, I'm lying in bed, about to watch a little QI before I drift off. Then I hear 5 gunshots and I freeze, thinking about grabbing the dogs and running into the closet. Then I hear a series of crashes so loud it rattled the house. I go outside, and neighbors are beginning to come out of their houses. The girl across the street thought someone was breaking into her house.
There was apparently some sort of car chase between some groups of guys, with guns it seems. They hit at least 4 cars (the one immediately across my street has the front driver's side completely smashed and the tire/axel totally fucked) before pushing two parked cars up onto the lawns they were parked in front of. Two jumped out and hauled the driver out, and ran away.
Last I heard from our neighborhood busybody is that they were stopped several blocks away.
When did my quiet little hood turn into a scene from Grand Theft Auto?
