Ahhhh, VHS. Nostalgia, nostalgia, reminisce. Done yet? Good. Because it's stackin' time.
You will never hear me extolling the virtues of the mass produced plastic cartridge of magnetic tape, but VHS (Video Home System, I just learned) has one advantage over DVD (Digital Versatile Disk). Those mothers can sure make an impressive pile. It was rather nice that all of Katie's, although really I guess mostly her sister's, were rewound. The watchers were kind enough to give me the structural integrity by keeping almost all the weight in the center column.
Anyway, I almost had more fun taking pictures of this tower of obsolescence than I did building it.
I was a little sad when I ran out of tapes. I would have liked to keep on stacking. See how far 40 went?
And as a bonus, check out this celebratory offer I found in a c. 1998 copy of A Clockwork Orange.
