Sorry, I folded laundry instead. Maybe tomorrow night.


Maybe.





I can't even say, "Fuck it, I'm taking everything to a record store and I don't care if they give me $5 for it all," because they are so goddamned heavy, just the idea of loading them into the car again makes me shield my eyes and pretend I didn't see them sitting there... Mark my words, it won't be done before school starts in late August.

If you wanted to make a project out of it you could put them on ebay one at a time as the artists die. Quick put up Deep Purple! or not...

Not a bad idea, actually.

I have a friend with more vinyl records than a decent sized college radio station from back in the day. He loves getting records and even had his own label for a while. I suppose it's still a label as long as he has a website up and bins of unsold inventory in his basement.

You walk into this family's house, and into the living room, and all you see are records. They line the walls on shelves from floor to ceiling. About a year ago, he and some other of his vinyl buddies found out about another vinyl guy who was moving, or died, or something, and all his records were being thrown into a dumpster in his driveway. They spent the better part of a day in that dumpster going through all the records. My friend left that day with his trunk, and back seat, and passenger seat, full of records. Thousands of them. He said it was really difficult for him because he left so many behind in the dumpster. He was only picking the most unique stuff that he didn't already have.

The guy works at the Library of Congress, so maybe that explains in part his desire to have the most complete collection he can.

Every time I go over, he's got a different random record playing. And his kids are getting into it too. Last one I remember was Tiny Tim tiptoeing through the tulips.

That guy should be in the Guinness book of ...


Nevermind.

Skip the steak.

Wha ha ha. I know what that means.

My videotaping of It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, was spoiled by news reports of that incident.

Sylvia Wynanda Seegrist (born July 31, 1960) is an American woman who on October 30, 1985 opened fire at a Springfield, Pennsylvania shopping mall, killing three people and wounding seven others before being disarmed by a shopper. The individuals killed included two men and a two-year-old.[1] She was 25 years old and had been diagnosed as suffering from paranoid schizophrenia 10 years earlier. Having been committed and discharged several times, her case stimulated discussion about the state's authority to commit possibly dangerous people versus individual rights.

I sold her glasses, just months before. She told me she'd been in the service for (as I remember) a short period of time. I asked her how she managed to get out early, and she said something like "Uncle Sam and I agreed we would both be better off if I wasn't in the military".

Oh no! Guns don't kill people, adequately correct eyesight does!

Well, if you read that article it says that she missed the first couple people she shot at. maybe you gave her the wrong prescription, god bless you

Back on track. I'll buy Roxy Music's "Country Life" if it is the original album cover.

Clodfobble 07-21-2012 02:21 PM

What does that one look like?
