One of the best mondos of all time.
Yeah, not to hijack the thread, but it is a real chunk blower!
I also have the CH ( Cannibal Holocaust, not Captain Howdy ) cd and play it to the world outside my store. It is actually quite a nice acoustic oriented recording. I had a fan of the movie come running in as he could not belive his ears
We also sold the impaled woman tee shirt for years at our store. Got a kid or two thrown out of school for a day just by wearing it !
I collected these as a kid, just so you know where I'm coming from:

Still have them too!
We should start a Halloween tread about scary things and take the discussion there. We are getting The Black Pearl Ship from Pirates of The Caribbean here in town and using it as a haunted house at the New London peir. Scary is in vogue this time of year!
As to the aquariums folks are speaking of, I'd love a salt water one too, but would like local north Atlantic marine specimens in it. I'm sure this would require a water cooler to keep the temp down.

When you go through a life-changing event like a divorce, your priorities change and so do you hobbies. I used to sew my own clothes and some for my boys, cross-stitch, garden, and do home renovations.
After the divorce, I concentrated on raising my boys. They became involved with band and football and I started video taping. I created highlight videos for one boy that helped get him recruited to a very good school. I also made certain we always had a newer computer available for the boys. Now one is studying to be a Systems Engineer and the other is concentrating on Mechanical Engineering/Robotics.
My next project is to scan all our pictures and convert all the VHS video to create digital memories for the boys. I still garden and do home renovations but it's a requirement and no longer a hobby!

A question for you Sandy why are you converting them over to VHS? Over time those tapes gets messed up.
PLus they take up so much room.
