Adventure 29 | [Video]

[italktofish]

[So the video feed opens, and unsurprisingly, it's Arthur in front of a tank of fish. He looks unusually serious.]

So, guys, I kind of got to thinking...SERIOUSLY thinking...

[Wait, what? Arthur's been thinking?]

And you know, there are some things in life, you just take for GRANTED! But then one day, your bus gets stuck in traffic, and you've just got to WONDER! Thinking kind of hard on things you've just accepted for YEARS! I mean, stuff I've just gone with ALL MY LIFE! And, well...

[There's a long, dramatic pause before he continues.]

How much luggage could you REALLY bring on a THREE HOUR TOUR, anyway?

[Phillip watches it, and in response...]

Oh. That looks like it's old.

video

[ursoreckless]

It is, but it's still hilarious.

[Arthur has been singing along with the theme song as he digs around in a cabinet.]

It's a CLASSIC!

[He triumphantly whips out an old VHS tape from said cabinet.]

And I've got a TAPE I CAN SHOW YOU!

[ursoreckless]

[shou squints at the vhs and then starts laughing.]

Dude, I've got it all on digital plus the movies.

Re: video

[darkhourdear]

[Phillip is so very confused right now.]

VHS? ...What is that?

video

[ursoreckless]

It's an older way of recording and sharing tv shows. Long before the internet was common in every house.

video

[darkhourdear]

And you remember that? [phillip stop]

video

[italktofish]

Of COURSE he remembers that! And I remember that! IT'S WHAT WE GREW UP WITH!

video

[ursoreckless]

That and my parents would record all sorts of things on their camcorder.

video

[darkhourdear]

[you guys are blowing his mind]

How did you Google stuff?? [THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.] What's a camcorder?

video

[ursoreckless]

Google is a new invention. We use to go to a library and look things up in books.

A video recorder from a time when cell phones did not take pictures.

video

[italktofish]

We'd look up books using CARD CATALOGS! You had to do EVERYTHING BY HAND!

And the cell phones used to be HUGE!

video

[ursoreckless]

My parents told me of a time before cell phones. SCARY!

Re: video

[darkhourdear]

[whaaaaat]

That sounds so hard! Why would anyone ever do that?

Well... I guess that makes sense. I only got a cell phone last month. How big were they?

video

[italktofish]

WAIT HOLD ON I HAVE AN OLD CELL PHONE I FOUND IT IN A CLOSET HERE!

[And he runs off and returns with this brick. It's the same one he offered when Russel badly needed a new phone. Oddly enough, Russel declined to take the phone...]

video

[ursoreckless]

You shoulda seen the ones they had for cars.

Re: video

[darkhourdear]

[he's so confused you guys what is happening.]

That was a cell phone? It's huge! And there's no screen or anything!

video

[ursoreckless]

All people used cell phones for was to make calls. No internet those days, no picture taking and certainly no Facebook.

video

[italktofish]

Hah! Back then, we didn't even HAVE Facebook! If we wanted to keep in touch with people over long distances, you'd either have to make a phone call or WRITE AN ACTUAL LETTER! And send ACTUAL PRINTED OUT PICTURES! FROM A CAMERA THAT ONLY USED FILM!

video

[darkhourdear]

Film? You mean like those old cameras I saw at the museum? [...he's thinking the really old ones, but anything not digital is also a novelty to him.]

video

[ursoreckless]

Yup, stuff like that, though mebbe not as old as those ones.

video

[italktofish]

Just old enough to be JUNK instead of ANTIQUES!

video

[darkhourdear]

That's so weiiiiird.
