    You got a 5 pack of VHS tapes? When I was a kid, I once got one VHS tape as a Christmas gift. And it was awesome. Because it had a plastic cover and everything.

    Still sits on my childhood home shelf, with that Christmas episode of Garfield and Friends at the beginning. Can’t remember what else I recorded on it.

      My buddy gave me a VHS camcorder and VCR for Christmas in like 2015. My favorite thing to do with them was to buy VHS movies from the thrift store and record home movies over them, but each time I would start to record I would randomly fast forward a minute or two. It was kinda cool and trippy to watch goofy shit we’d do and then it phases into a random scene from Edward Scissorhands before going back into the next adventure of ours.

        As long as they didn’t also have one of those camcorders that connected to a full-size VCR on a shoulder strap, all powered by mains power. Who knows what’s on that tape.
