i'd like to start this post by saying that i'm not very nice in this aspect.
in most aspects, i'm very nice.
but, if you're hoping to read a nice little post about how i always rewind movies, you should probably just stop reading.
my family is a little bit technologically challenged sometimes.
we didn't get a computer until roughly 1999.
we didn't get a cordless phone until around 2001.
i didn't have a cell phone untill 2 years ago.
when i went to college, my mom didn't think i needed a compy.
so, it's not hard to deduce that we didn't get a dvd player when they first came out.
we had vhs and vcr's all up until i was a junior in high school.
with the exception of about 20 movies, the entirety of our movie library is vhs.
my dad owns a lot of movies. mostly on vhs.
he also hates it when we don't rewind them. he gets very angry.
(well, by very angry, i mean that he gets extremely annoyed. he usually says something like
"hrmmph how come no one ever rewinds these movies? it's aggravatin' hrghrghrg")
kathleen and i like to aggravate my father.
i'm not really sure why. if you annoy him too much, he will tackle you to the ground and lick your face. it's gross. and makes you do this:
so, again, i'm not sure why we do it. perchance it's because we truly enjoy pushing buttons. and my dad has a lot of buttons to push. so, we push them. a lot.
one summer, kathleen and i were sitting around trying to figure out how to push said buttons, and one of us (i don't remember which, but i'd like to claim ownership) had a great idea. a light bulb pinging idea. we would watch all of my father's movies... and NOT rewind them.
so, we spent that summer watching his movies.
we watched
all of the original star wars,
all of the indiana jones,
all of the adams family,
all of the batmans,
all of the supermans,
and yes, most of his westerns (even though we don't love westerns)
about 700 bugs bunny cartoons,
the lion king,
and anything else that we could think of that my father would watch.
and we didn't rewind a SINGLE ONE!
i would like to illustrate the beauty of this plan. dad wouldn't be watching all the movies right after we did. he would watch them over a period of two or three years. he would probably never realize a pattern, that every movie he wanted to watch were not rewound. therefore he could neither get angry with us nor lick our face. he would just get very annoyed every time he put on a movie. it was perfect.
i don't even know if he's realized it yet. and that was four years ago.
