vhs-tastic
In what upon reflection must have been a slightly drunken purchase, I now own 1000 vhs tapes, which I am in the process of collecting (one more trip to go!). I command you to tell me what to build out of them? I already have a vhs viewing throne (352 tapes) - What next?

Are you saying that there is a massive amount of sicophancy in /talk?
That quite possibly certain people kiss up to others based on their popularity in the hope they can bask in their glory?

Are you?

I went to see The Specials on Friday night.
I didn't see very much due to my height disability. They were fucking great though. There was much skanking and that. There was no honey. The end.

HELLO.

You should have clambered up the side of Martin Johnson. He wouldn't have noticed.

Assuming they're three hour blank tapes.
If they're films then a lot less. Unless it's 100 copies of El Cid or something.

stack them 8 high, then glue them solid
do that enough times until you have a massive black Jenga set. That will take 504 tapes.
