This state of the art rec room bar drips with pure inexpensive awesome, and that’s just the barfly in the hotpants. The rest of the set up could be had for about $150 in 1966 dollars (adjusted for inflation) and that includes stocking it with a fifth of Bacardi’s and a six pack of Coca-cola.
But that was then, and this is now, and now it’s time for
The Overnight Open Thread.

“Flash Bazbo, Space Explorer, reporting for duty, SIR!”
With a space helmet like that, those would be the first words out of my mouth, right before I was sent to the Outer Realms on a mission to explore and conquer The Planet of the Mind Gobblers.
Continuing with the theme begun on last night’s OOT (and echoed by the previous post) let’s all suit up, strap in, fire up the retro rockets and touch down on the uncharted realm of The Overnight Open Thread.

That’s the correct way to clean 45RPM records. Cleaning vinyl 33RPM recordings takes a lot more, um, effort, as the larger cleaners are very rare and hard to find. As for CDs and DVDs, I’ve had success with the toothpaste treatment, and I’ve also fixed scratched discs with Brasso.
If your media is skipping, take some non-abrasive gel toothpaste or Brasso and wipe it onto the offending disc. Let it dry, then wipe it off radially, i.e., from the center outward. This is not a prank as it’s worked for me, especially on rented DVDs.
For you older folks, this treatment does NOT work on VCR tapes, cassettes or 8-tracks.
I notice that our Rec Room Video Library has been enhanced with a bunch of non-returned BlockBuster DVDs. Muchas gracias, but whoever owns the 5 volume set of Lesbian Amputee Dwarf Porn DVDs (yeah, real funny – we know who you are) may take them back home because we don’t do that stuff here on The Overnight Open Thread.

Heh. Put this in the “Things-I’d-Consider-Doing-But-Wouldn’t” Department.
Seems like there was a movie not long ago 14 years ago where the main character was condemned to always tell the truth… with disastrous consequences.
Several people come to mind who would be fun to watch if they were forced to be truth-tellers for a day (or more). But enough talk about 1.0, because in truth, this is The Overnight Open Thread.
[BTW– Be sure to pop in on Table 9 and give kudos to Rose & Company on their 2nd Anniversary!]
