Give them the training I got on a job once. Just tell them you're available for questions and scream whenever they ask. You won't have to bother because they'll stop asking.

Of course, they might think of dropping you to the floor, but that's not everybody's first thought.

You can overcome the acceleration of gravity with an application of muscle power in a vertical plane, thus producing a low earth orbit. well....it's something like that.

I had cassette tapes when I was a kid (not makeout cassettes, though.) but mixed CDs, totally had those.

CD's would be better but you'd lose all the romance of when the ribbon would get tangled up in the player.

Has that actually happened to anyone though? I know I have burnt a couple spots in tapes from leaving them in the car player on hot days.

The north face one I'm looking at is more pretentious. The Carhart is definitely more outdoors

Absolutely. It was an intricate operation using two pencils (one to twist the tape the other as a spacer where the ribbon enters the cassette) to rewind the cassette back into cassette.

see, I've done the pencil trick to get the ribbon back in after dropping a cassette but I have never seen it get tangled in a player

I believe that I had a Members Only jacket. It was probably about the same time that I was making mixtapes.

Sometimes I had to stick something like a screwdriver in the cassette player (especially the car type with the narrow insert) to push the ribbon down below the little rods that kept it in line. You could then pull the ribbon out to wind it back into the cassette.

I actually remember for awhile, I had to record songs from cd to cassette so I could listen to them in my old jeep. Then I got a tape adapter for the walkman and all hell broke loose

The old beater minivan only has a tape deck. Doesn't matter because when I do drive it I'm usually telling my daughter to turn it down.

My son's old blazer has a CD player and I noticed some of my old rock CDs are in his vehicle. I'm usually scared when I turn on his vehicle because the radio blows you out of your seat.

8-Track tapes FTW. All you needed was a good supply of matchbooks

Yeah, I kinda miss the "Tha-thunk!" when it would change tracks right in the middle of a song.

My parents used to make me listen to that exact tape on road trips. Excruciating!

Also, matchbooks were often times necessary in a cassette player. Sometimes you even needed two.

Isn't that Bret? I thought Rabbuk was in accounting or something? Not that you need tax knowledge to do what I do. Lord knows I have a very limited amount of it.

Bret teaches ag at Osky High...
