Them Damn Drug Dealers

From the Phoney Fresh VHS archives: A tour of the hood with Bull's Eye, some minors attempt an illegal purchase, a young girl struggles with flat chested-ness, and another totally kick ass bass solo. This ones for my man Pie Face, in lock down, big baller style.

MOVIE NITE: Tribulation

Wow! Look at that all-star cast! This is a relic from the Christian "End of the world" movie craze of the late 90's. There was a whole slew of these movies, with such A-list actors as Kirk Cameron, Mr. T and Corbin Bernson living in the days of the Antichrist. Busey is surprisingly tame in this flick, with exception of a couple burts of rage. Howie Mandel is a total loon though....and of course, Satan is a dude with a ponytail. Satan is always a dude with a ponytail!

Cowboy Auditions

More crap from the Phoney Fresh VHS archives. A touching moment with Garth, Gospel singing cowboys and dogs, Billy Ray marvels at the wonder of the "Achy Breaky", floppin boobies and power washers. Tell your Aunt Louise, tell anyone you please.

 

(Enjoy it while it lasts, Youtube has already disabled some of my vids!)

Hot Stuff

Here's some junk I pulled from deep within the Phoney Fresh VHS archives. Yanni, Richard Simmons, Turkey calls, Game Boy hints, Soul food and more....

MOVIE NITE: Hands of Steel

Virtual VHS

I have always been fascinated by these weird "virtual" VHS tapes thet allow you to be transported into another world or even bring things like fish tanks and fireplaces right into your living room through the modern miracle of the VCR. Though they are dreadfully boring to watch (uh I guess maybe they weren't meant to be watched for entertainment, heh), they are a cool concept that didn't really carry over to the DVD age.

Yikes, look how fat those cats are getting sitting there watching TV all day! i saw one of these tapes for dogs once that had footage of food, fire hydrants and mail men. I kick myself for not buying it!

She's thinking "Dammit, I forgot to hit play! Now I gotta get up, walk back over there...."

 

This pamphlet came in the Video Fireplace box. As if you probably didn't shell out enough bread for this tape, they want you to buy wood scented incense for "added dimension". I do wanna check out the Video Kaleidoscope though!

This Week In Finds: Week #1

If you can't already tell, I'm an avid collector of  other people's trash. Be it cool old kitschy stuff or literal trash, I love it! I frequent many a thrift store, junk hole, garbage sale, estate sale and dumpster during any given week. Starvation Army, Badwill, Volunqueers of America, you know the places. Soooo, I guess I might keep ya updated on my weekly finds, interesting or otherwise!

I dunno who this dapper dude is, but I like him. I actually had to think about whether he was in fact cool enough to snag or not, but I'm glad I did! He's a bank too.

That irreverence, that wit. I'd recognize it anywhere. It's a Ziggy!

My new favorite mug. Imagine drinking ice cold root brewski outta this baby!

A Tasco periscope. I can't figure out if this is old or not, I'm getting conflicting facts from Ebay. Anywho, I guess it's pretty cool for 86 cents. This will come in handy in the middle of a snowball battle, peering from behind my snow fortress wall.

This cassette contains Christmas music from the future.

Easyrider's Video Magazine. Video magazines must have been pretty popular in the late 80's-early 90's, as I've seen many of them on various subjects. This was the most entertaining video I've seen in a long time (that is, when the tracking started working!). Ugly biker chicks flashing their saggy boobs, a scary-ass biker comedian, Skanky bar chicks dumping beer all over their bodies, crazy dudes jamming bikes through the mud, tanks and flame-throwing robots....Oh and let's not forget the "Biker Home Videos".

Yes, that's Al from "Home Improvement" and Dave Thomas of "Bob and Doug McKenzie" fame. This is one of those super cheesy Feature Films for Families tapes. I can pretty much guess the plot from the cover art, and I'm pretty sure little else happens. I haven't watched this one yet, not cuz I'm afraid it will suck, but cuz I'm afraid I'll like it.

Detail of the cover art: Notice the "Scan-A-Scam" scanner and the gloriously ancient computer.
