That shit was HUGE. The remote sucked. Half the tapes you put in it didn't work. I tried to set the timer on it to record my shows and it NEVER worked. Ahh, I also remember the 2 TV sets we had when I was child that were COMPLETELY cased in wood. There were definitely trying to make it look like furniture. My parents are good with changing with the time so when the last set broke they hunted day and night like I HAVE TO HAVE A WOOD TV! haha, they finally made the decision not to buy one from an antique store and bought and entertainment center. haha. ps - happy 420!

I've always told other people that when a decision is difficult it isn't because you don't know 'what' to do, it is because in your heart of hearts you know what to do but are too chicken to do it. I hate having to take my own advice!

I love the Elvis impersonations that he did too. I manged to see Richard Pryor's last stand up movie in the theater. This was way back in the early Eighties. I never laughed so hard.

I am a single father, and raising my daughter trumps anything I could ever pursue in life. I've always been a comedian, but I just never got paid for it, that's all. All my life, I have always made my friends laugh with my observations, and I really think that I'll never stop. I have a blogsite where I publish parodies of songs that I have written new comical lyrics for, but the comical ditties have not earned me a dime despite them receiving favorable reviews through a community parody website that I frequent. I am perfectly OK with this because I just love to make people laugh. Fame would make me nervous about the effects on my daughter, and the loss of privacy would not be worth it IMHO. On the VCR craze, back in early 1981, my uncle in Alberta, Canada went to an estate auction and got involved with another gent bidding on a brand new VCR. It was just like a poker game with each raising the bid. Only after the other guy raised his paddle and said he wanted to bid $1000 did my uncle back off. Uncle Jim has passed on now, but God rest his soul, my uncle probably sailed into the afterlife laughing his ass off. It turns out the thing was a Betamax. We never had a VCR, and I didn't have one until the late 80s, when I was in my mid 20s. I remember Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy's videos though. Eddie's "Raw" was funny as hell too. Thanks 4 the laughs Margaret. Take care. I’ve always had a desire to be successful, but being famous holds little appeal to me.
