at least say you'll use half-inch open-reel tapes for storage (you can stick with 7-track, you don't have to use the 9's)

saw what happens when someone bumps a tape drive during a high-speed rewind . . . both reels stop instantly and the mylar stretches as it winds-up inertially on the reel . . . it's stretched-out real thin and narrow like a wire . . . then it explodes!

took the Itty Bitty Machine guys (grey flannel suits, paper coffee cups welded to their left hands) hours to vacuum the place out . . . the bits are about a quarter-inch long and get into everything . . . and did i mention, they are electrically conductive?

You can use the extra from your hat on the ends to make reception better.

I agree. If you want to see a tragedy, go see Shakespeare, but don't vote it into your government.

I think all the new internet rules are going to be good for old fashioned pornographers. Pay in cash at 7-11.

Not that these un-American, fascist fart smellers care but what about that whole freedom of the press thingy in our founding documents; like the Constitution, the real one, not the Constitution of the Confederacy for any right wing, brainwashed, pudding headed Orcs reading this.

I say we make our own Internet as well as our own country. Fuck these human failures.

The Fairness Doctrine of course never applied to the internet, that said sites like Facebook and Twitter need to do something. My confidence in the American people being able to sort fact from fiction is at an all time low.
