		<description>I was searching for someone with the tapes of &quot;Savannah Rocks&quot;
I noticed someone has them. I would love a copy.</description>

		<description>The only thing I have on VHS that isn&#039;t store bought is the video evidence of a play I was in during 8th grade (it was 1986/87) and I haven&#039;t transferred it to DVD... maybe I should but it&#039;s in storage somewhere, haah.

I record TV shows for my son because I can&#039;t afford to buy them on DVD.</description>

		<description>A tape of my brother&#039;s &quot;touchdown&quot; in HS--he was an ineligible receiver, but it looked good.

Optical illusions--painted, prints or posters.

No posters--lots of macrame things.

3.45 and rising every hour

Scotland to learn Gaelic, enjoy the cool weather, and roots music.</description>

		<description>1. I still have a copy of a TV show called Savannah Rocks. It was a local dance showed that toured around the area to local teen clubs. I got there late when they taped, but I still have video of all my friends in their 80&#039;s glory cheesing the camera. Classic.

2.It was always my idea to cover white walls with Chinese newspaper. Cheap and cool.

3.The worst? A free Bullet Boys poster I grabbed at the local Radio Shack.

4.$3.39 for 87 octane Enmark Statesboro GA

5.Teaching English in Malaysia. I went there 4 years ago on vacation and loved it.</description>

		<description>1) I taped &quot;2gether,&quot; the silly MTV movie about a made-up boy band.  I also have tapes full of MTV music videos, and strangely enough, &#039;N SYNC when they were on the Rosie O&#039;Donnell show.

2) Chalkboard paint is a great idea - I never got the chance to paint my walls with it and I thought it would be a blast.

3) I had a huge poster of Lance Bass -- my girlish dreams were crushed when he came out.

4) I paid $3.49/gal here in Kent, OH, then went to Akron (10 minute drive) where it was $3.27.  Boo.

5) I originally wanted to go to England to study literature abroad, and I think I would still do that - kind of generic, but I love Shakespeare and the Globe would be great to see.</description>

		<description>1. I have two episodes of &quot;The State&quot; on one tape, and the first airing of &quot;Late Night With Conan O&#039;Brien&quot; on another.

2. Hmm... comics pages from the paper?  Old museum promotional banners (I&#039;ve seen sites that sell them)?  A giant blow-up of a cool photo (or maybe the first Mental Floss cover)?

5. I wouldn&#039;t mind living at Oxford and geeking out further on literature.  But even better (and slightly more practical) would probably be going to Italy and learning to cook everything they can.</description>

		<description>1. Back when I was the weest of sprats, my mom taped off the Disney channel for me truly mind-boggling amounts of a cartoon I loved at the time, called &quot;Will Quack-Quack.&quot; I swear I am not making this show up. 

1a. To answer the question Sarah posed waaaaay up in this thread, I think the cartoon you&#039;re thinking about is Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue. 

2. I like the map, chalkboard, and LOLCats ideas. 

3a. A painting done by my dad of a man in a spacesuit riding a horse on a spacesuit on the moon. 

3b. When I was a young teen, I, like many teenaged girls, tore pictures out from magazines of all the hotest mens and taped them to my walls. What&#039;s so weird and embarrassing about that? Well, being decidedly un-ordinary, all the guys I chose were digital. I.E., video game characters. Many pictures of Link adorned my walls...

4. I&#039;m a college student without a car, so I don&#039;t watch gas prices.

5. I would go to Italy to study astronomy--&quot;getting back,&quot; as it were--or I&#039;d go to Ireland to study poetry. Two of the places I want to see before I die.</description>

		<description>Please send me to Scotland, specifically the University of Edinburgh, so I could finish my doctoral studies of Dr. Hugh Blair who taugh there from 1759-1783. His book &quot;Lectures on Rhetoric and Belles Lettres&quot; waa the first English textbook used around the world when it was published in 1801. Now that I&#039;m almost 60, I have realized I will never be able to finish the work. It&#039;s a nice dream!</description>
