Some say the father of many children. When i was a child a man in a truck would ring a bell and he would sharpen your Knifes or Scissors. He had a grinding wheel on the back of the truckI miss the milkman...:wink:.

If anyone messes wif my Swanson's HUNGRYMAN Fried Chick'n dinna wif my burned up chocolate cake cookie and mashed (still frozen a liddle bit) potatoes...you are in serious trouble. Canady Dry's PURPLE PASSION soda...Yum. (This was what I ate for brunch when I was a kiddie while watching Saturday morning cartoons.)
I though the fried chicken dinner had apple pie? Or was that salisbury steak?
Saturday morning cartoons. Bugs Bunny, Superfriends, Land of the Lost, Rocky and Bullwinkle...wolfing down Lucky Charms, Frankenberry or something sugary enough to put me in a diabetic coma...good times. :biggrin1:
Ah, the good old days of saturday morning cartoons. The so-called cartoons are shit these days... and cartoon network shows nothing worth watching.I though the fried chicken dinner had apple pie? Or was that salisbury steak?

The difference is absolutely overrated, IMO. As I've said, I have cassettes as old as 12 years which still show perfect quality images and sounds, absolutely no problems there. It has also never occurred to me that I had to throw a cassette away because it was starting to fail in any way.
Storing movies digitally, on hard discs or other memory media of that kind, would make sense if you are interested in owning a lot, which is a rational and understandable argument. But please indulge in my little emotional side which says that tapes and films are the media to use for something like a motion picture. On that level, it has to do less with technology and its possibilities, more with the soul of things. Irrational, I know, but that's how I see it.

Have a dvr too, but only use it when image quality (and keeping it) is of concern. For repetitive recording of throw-away shows, vcr's seem to be a whole lot less muss n fuss.
I'm never quite sure now what to call the stereo, I plump for stereo because hifi sounds affected to me, and when I occasionally call it a record player the kids roll around in fits of hysterical laughter.
I have trouble using new names for things, I'll call Snickers Marathon till the day I die, and Starburst will remain Opal Fruits and when I clean I'm going to be using Jif not Cif.

The SNICKERS Marathon bar is different than the SNICKER'S bar. I remember looking at the MARATHON bar and still choosing a regular SNICKER'S over it.
Refresh my memory...Marathon bars were caramel, covered in chocolate, and woven like a rope...right?
Depends. There is a huge variety out nowadays. Some crap, some surprisingly good.

I'm a dinosaur with DVDs. I don't like that you can't rewind/fast-forward to a specific part of the film the way you could with videotapes. Scene selection is just not the same. I also fuck up every option possible, including the languages. It's not uncommon for me to have a film going in Indian with Arabic subtitles just because I can't figure out how to switch languages or enable/disable anything. By the time I get it back to English, the movie's half over.
