I'm confused...this IS an 8-track collecting newsgroup isn't it?
Then why do we have all this political bullsh*t in here?
Go start a political newsgroup and leave this one for people that COLLECT 8-track tapes, you jack*sses. |

Go start a political newsgroup and leave this one for people that COLLECT 8-track tapes, you jack*sses. Because both of the Dem hopeful spoilsports are deadset against 8 tracks and want them banned and buried in the far north Canadian tundra. McCain, having been imprisoned in Viet Nam, missed out on the best years of the format's popularity and is thus anxious to see it rise from the ashes. That is why politics and choosing the right leaders are important and not the least bit bull****ty in this (or any other) forum. |

They could scoop them out of the slush and use them in their tractors for entertainment during their 20 hour runs.

He's the Nudo choice for president. |

them out of the slush and use them in their tractors for entertainment during their 20 hour runs. Which reminds me of when you would be driving along a highway back in about 1970 and there would be a strand of 8 track tape stuck to and fluttering from a fence or signpost alongside the road. Zing....right out the passenger side window for that cart and it's crappy fidelity. I bet in todays "aware" society no one would just chuck one out the window. Mores the pity, as that should be the reward for a balky cart. Plus someone could come along, rescue it, and put it up on eBay. |

I have yet to see one of those reports of "what's on their iPod" for either of these three jokers. If genuine, it would be interesting reading (though probably compiled by some pimply faced 22 year old staffer). I am pretty sure it would not be "what's playing on their 8 track". |

Mores the pity, as that should be the reward for a balky cart. Plus someone could come along, rescue it, and put it up on eBay. snip Odd, but now and then I see a snake of ½" video tape along the road. What gives there? Chucking VHS cassettes out the window as a sign of disapproval of a movie? Actually, I think that's where our anti-hero, Charlie Nudo, got all the tape to make all those fraudulent copies of "So Wrong, They're Right" back when he was committing that petty crime as "coolsitesnsounds" on eBay. The quality indeed reflected some bad machines and extreme tape wear. More likely was the cause I diagnosed...Noodles using a bunch of throwaway rental cassettes, recorded on a machine with worn out heads. That scam sure didn't last long, as anyone who's been in this NG for eons would know. |

If genuine, it would be interesting reading (though probably compiled by some pimply faced 22 year old staffer). snip Rumor has surfaced from unreliable sources that GWB has "My Pet Goat" in a Powerpoint presentation on his phone. I am pretty sure it would not be "what's playing on their 8 track". snip I could fix them up with some remaining 8 tracks and a car player gathering dust, although I'm relatively sure it'd be politely refused. Perhaps 8 tracks would be a fun segment for Andy Rooney to do on "60 Minutes." Perhaps the script would go like this: ""I never had much use for music in a car...you're supposed to drive, not be entertained. Music is good, but I have a real problem trying to listen to music while driving. Too confusing. They've come up with all sorts of ways to listen to music in a car...AM radio, 8 tracks, cassettes, CDs...what ever happened to 8 tracks? Funny how things surface and disappear like that. Now they have cars that talk to you. I don't even like to listen to some people that much, and now cars talk to you. Ford even has cars you can talk to. Isn't it kind of strange to be talking to a car? Maybe, but sometimes I'd rather talk to a car than a lot of people." |
