John Paul Stevens outlasts another one
« on: August 06, 2016, 11:01:23 PM »
The VCR shall be no more.

This reminds me again today, though, given that Pete Fountain is also now dead (I couldn't come up with anything), that there was a time in high school – '87 or '88 – when the jazz-band conductor was raving the next day about one of Fountain's performances on the Tonight Show, which my memory tells me that I also saw, in which the program ran over on-air because the audience refused to let him stop. That's a recording I'd like to see.

Link wasn't working so try this: http://fortune.com/2016/07/21/last-video-cassette-recorder-maker/

I still have two of them, an at the time very expensive Toshiba and a very reliable Sony.
They both get used on occasion.

Aside from that, the amount of "For Adults Only" videos that I have adjusted tracking to over past decades...

Thought a sitting Supreme Court justice had died. Darn you, Wheezer.
You two wanna go stick your wangs in a hornet's nest, it's a free country.  But how come I always gotta get sloppy seconds, huh?

On the other hand, if one kicked the bucket we would have an odd number again and the possibility of 4 to 3 decisions.
