My new VHS blog!

I love VHS tapes and still buy them, as recently as a couple of days ago. You can find some real gems. You can also find some real "gems." ;) Plus, the art is almost always better than on DVD and Blu-ray counterparts. I've decided to post pics of some of the more interesting ones in my collection. Come visit... The VHS Cover Palace!

Ronco's Mr. Microphone

Borrowed from my vinyl blog...

Wish I had one!

See the TV ad here. :)

Me as Bowzer

No, not Mario and Luigi's enemy. ;) That's Bowser.

I'm talking about Jon "Bowzer" Bauman, of 50's revival group Sha Na Na! This picture is from around 1980.

Uncanny? :p Bowzer has had quite a career, including doing great work for the Truth in Music Act.

Baby in 50s pedal car

My mother's first—and hopefully only—car. ;)

Old school farming

Cool picture of a horse-drawn land roller I found in one of my grandmother's old photo albums. Dunno who either of the people are. My aunt might know.

Drug lord cars

Remember these ads from old car magazines?


I would see these and think 'that's so awesome! I could get a Porsche for $100!' But now that I'm a lot older, I think 'oh, FREE information, huh? Giveaway prices? Pass.' :p

I wonder if that phone number still works...

My brother the tissue thief

Thought I'd add a funny old picture of my brother being a mischievous toddler...

Hard to be angry about that, especially if you go get a camera and come back to take his picture. :p This would've been from mid to late 1983.

Here's a Family Circus comic my grandmother sent after she saw what he did:
