Do you remember these Scotch cassettes? Were they still Made in USA, in the 80s?

This one was bought and recorded in 1987 from my father. The tape quality must be excellent, still sounding fresh. And it was played so many times in my childhood.

When one of your wrists hurts for a couple of days without any reason?

I regularly used Scotch cassettes in the 80s for archiving broadcasts, and going on forty years later I've never had one fail. I can't say the same for other brands.

In the UK, that comment would be open season for some very smutty responses.

"You know you're getting old when".... you remember the last time a Baltimore Orioles pitcher threw a no-hitter. Jim Palmer in 1969. And now lefty John Means (WVU) no-no's vs Seattle and was only one pitch away from a perfect game. Congrats to John Means and "let's go O's"!

You make a pot of Tuna Glop (macaroni and cheese, garbonzo beans, peas, corn, tuna, mustard) and eat half a bowl of it and keep thinking it tastes funny.
Then you realize you only made a bowl of Glop, you forgot to put the tuna in there.

I had to write a will at eighteen, pronounced dead a couple of times, had the last rites of the Catholic Church
administered, no problemo. ...but seeing the Chicago Cubs win the World Series in sweet '16; I figure my time is up.
