small cabinet
Small wooden cabinet on wheels with glass doors. Can hold DVD player, vhs player, or I will put you in bath
I’m asking $20
Say what now? This post starts off so normal. So harmless. Small wooden cabinet on wheels. Nothing could possibly be weird about that. And then it just goes completely bonkers insane.
Nobody owns a VHS player any more.
Thanks for the post, Jen!

I’ve never seen wheels with glass doors. Do they have shower curtains for the bath?
$20 is a tad pricey for TacoMagic’s mom wearing roller blades.
I have it on good authority that the Baby-Eating Bishop of Bath and Wells owns a VHS player and even an eight-track player.
Small cabinet.

You’re killing me, Small wooden cabinet!
Bathe all the small appliances!
No, really, please do. It will Darwin Award us out of a few dumb Sparkies.
Sparking Sparkies?
I, in fact, own and use 5 VHS machines.
I own one as well.
It’s so nice to show my son the joys of having to wait for your movie to rewind, and the blips and squiggles of degrading or wrinkled tape. Want to find your favorite part? Well, you just have to fast forward and hope you can press the stop button in time…. good times.
My parents have one; in order to play a DVD the way they have their stuff set up, they have to plug the player into the front of the VCR and then do some complicated stuff involving about three different remotes.
[boring a/v corey]
It is sad that one of the few middling-reliable pass-through devices is the humble VHS player.
The problem being that, any more, the tech from the cable company has never seen one or worked with one.
So, they have no clue that there is a 75Ω RG-6 connection that just loops through the back of the unit (which can also be split to RCA jacks, but only by manipulation).
However, there is enough signal degradation (many VCR actually only pass 40Ω signals) that digital content will suffer (because the people that make ‘digital’ Set-Top Boxes get work bey being Lowest Bidder, not Best Bidder at the price point).
I too, have–if in storage–a vcr. It was a last-of-the-breed model, that would (sort of) record channels > 100, in a method more digital than analog. I mostly had it for the legacy tape material I have on hand, mostly converted film stock. Most of that material is pointless, as it is available digitally now. The rest ought be taken and converted to digital format. Just one more thing on the “someday” list.
Sigh.

We have a dvd/vcr combi.
I know. Awesome.
There’s a DVD/VCR combo on a big old TV (the kind that still had the curved glass screen) at my family’s shared vacation house. Three’s a shelf full of VHS tapes: some recorded, some official releases from the 90’s (like Twister and Jurassic Park). The only DVDs there are the Twilight Zone. It’s hooked up to an antenna too but only gets one station. No one seems to mind too much because when it’s their turn to spend a week or two there they mostly hang out at the beach anyway.
Sparky wants me to pay him twenty dollars to watch him bathe a small wheeled cabinet? That seems a little pricy, I can get a DVD of Furniture Gone Wild IV: Free Wheelin’ on eBay for five dollars.
Or so I’ve heard.
Bathing a wooden cabinet?
Totally warped.
Guido Sparky – don’t threaten me, buddy. My grandmama had more sass than you, and she regularly threatened me with baths.
It didn’t work for her, either.

Now Cap’n…did you really think I’d click on a link just willy-nilly?
*clicks link*
BUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Of course I wouldn’t….and the guy with the toothpick does not resemble my grandmama…well, maybe just a little around the mustache, but that’s definitely all.
Okay, perhaps the shades are a bit reminiscent…but that’s really it.
[currency corey] “15 bob a week” would be 15 twelvepence shillings in the pre-decimalized days of 240d /£.
If memory serves, the Pound Sterling in ’71 was about $2 to 2.50.
So, $2.50 / 240 gives 1d = 1.042¢ So, a shilling was 12.504¢; fifteen bob a staggering $1.88–27¢ per day.
I have a vague recollection of hearing that either ha’crown or florin were “beer coin” that a pint at the pub was 2 or 3 shillings. I cannot confirm that, though, even through windowed wheels.
The US Inflation Calculator offers that $1.88 in 1971 translates to $10.81 in 2013 dollars. But then again. beer runs £2 to £2.5 nowadays, too, IIRC.
[/thirst & impoverished corey]
Fifteen is way too many, I’d prefer just one or two Bobs a week or I’d be up to my eyebrows in Bobs by the end of a month.
Oh, beer can be way more than that, Cap’n. £2 a pint is pretty good. Now, when I was a student all those years ago, Theakston’s Best was 65p a pint in my college bar. I like to think that’s why I got such a good* degree.
*Average.
Aaah..the saga of small cabinets always seem to start out innocently enough like this. But none tend to end so tragically. Small cabinet, you have tamed me.
🙁
Hey Sparky, I’m asking $5,000,000 but no-one is interested and I can give people baths OR showers! How’s that for ambidextrousness ??
I hear Bath, Somerset is loverly this time of year. I could use a vacation for $20.
Me too; I’d love to visit the William Herschel museum. Maybe those wheels with glass doors can take me there.
He doesn’t even bother to mention whether it will hold a Betamax. That’s racist!
It uses the VHS player, or it gets put in the bath again.
I can’t figure out what he really meant. You can put it in your bathroom?
drmk, I respectfully present to you this set of bowl, dipper, and cups for your Punchity Punch Punch!
Good Morning, Werner Krauss!
Put me in bath? Why, yes. I’d love a bath from a stranger on Craigslist. But we aren’t putting the VCR in the bath too are we? That seems like a safety hazard.
