I just watched a film on videocassette. Brings back some good old times! After the movie I almost forgot to rewind, but I remembered just in time.
For those of you less than approx. 18 years, this is what I'm talking about[^].
I sure feel old though (and I'm only 24)...

That's nothing. I just watched a movie on this[^].

Good morning! I would have bet that you meant this[^]

Nah! Only the toffs could afford that when I were a kid. We had to work up the chimneys 26 hours a day, 8 days a week.

Sounds more like my time in the military. We used to march under water for days, having only dry bread to eat and nothing to drink.

How would you like four big boxes full of tapes? I have them down in the basemant and really don't know what to do with them. And the recorder sits in the shelf, next to the 8 bit Ataris and the C64s.

Is the C64 also on offer?

We just had to euthenize our 18-year-old cat with dimentia, hyperthyroidism, and cancer. I have had her since I was 1 year old.

Condolences.
We had six cats at home at a point of time - three generations of them. Sadly, one by one, all of them succumbed to the road traffic in front of our house. I know how it feels to lose loved cats.

One of the saddest moments of my life was when I unintentionally caused to the death of a young kitten. It's not a pleasant experience.
My condolences.

It never gets any easier to say goodbye to a cat.
They leave such inappropriately large holes in your life.
My condolences to you all - but I'm sure it was for the best for Lulu.

Zac, I'm sorry to hear that. My wife and I have said farewell to some much loved companions ourselves. They leave a big space. We usually fill the space ours leave by getting more!

You have my sympathies . We had to do the same with our cat Raphael, who was 15, about six months ago. I still have a picture of him as the wallpaper on my phone  . It shows him in a characteristic pose: laying upside down on my daughter's school books, waiting for someone to pet him.

RIP Lulu.

In the last 3 years, what, if ANYTHING, has BB had to say that was good? The company has one foot in the grave and no way to keep from putting the other foot in.

I'm not actually interested in the case, but I have always wanted to be able to say "The butler did it!" without getting hit by the wife. (She also gets testy when I tell her I think the murderer was Hercule Poirot)

Not the only one either. Did you not consider it suspicious that wherever he goes, murder follows? And he is always the one who "works out" who is guilty?

Cannibals capture three men. The men are told that they will be skinned and eaten and then their skin will be used to make canoes. Then they are each given a final request. The first man asks to be killed as quickly and painlessly as possible. His request is granted, and they poison him. The second man asks for paper and a pen so that he can write a farewell letter to his family. This request is granted, and after he writes his letter, they kill him, saving his skin for their canoes. Now it is the third man's turn. He asks for a fork. The cannibals are confused, but it's his final request, so they give him a fork. As soon as they do, he begins stabbing himself all over and shouts, "The hell with your canoes!"

They'd just ground his dead body up into a mashed heap and use it as inner stuffing for their canoe.

He was given a final request, why didn't he just asked to be freed?

My dear fellow, how splendidly clever! Clearly you're experienced in these matters. I wonder what Aunt Agatha would have to say to all this.

Whee!
I ordered a new table saw last week, and Sears informed me that it would be available for pickup in two weeks. So I was surprised to get a call yesterday informing me that the saw was ready, a week early! Weekend plans out the door, I picked it up - with the help of a couple of husky clerks - and brought it home. That sucker weighs over 300 lbs! As anyone who has dealt with Sears knows, "some assembly required..." I assembled the beast, aided by a large volume of beer, as instructed by the manual. All went well until the part where I'm supposed to turn it over; the instruction, quite reasonably, start with the unit upside down until the legs are assembled. What to do? Its 300+ lbs versus my 135 lbs. It's an easy call as to which of us will win the gravity game.
I tried levers, I thought about using a cable puller attached to the roof beams, but none quite fit. After an hour or so of fiddling with different ways to improve my leverage, I remembered a useless piece of kit I bought last year to move a pair of engines for a 1936 Ford, then put away for lack of any other purpose:
