I put my tape recorder up to the tv set in like Grade 3 and taped MAD MAX 1 and 2 onto cassette tapes too, played them when i couldn't watch the movies, as i got older and we got a stereo hooked up to the tv. i got a perfect tape of them, done it with a lot of my favourite movies - play them in my car instead of music.

LOL...didn't even see it coming...no worries though...I was just trying to speak a little of Tom's language and get him to stick around...besides, it's just a flesh wound...mearly a scratch...I think I'll go for a walk...I'm feeling much better now. Besides, I can't be ANORAK, when I'm already a BOGAN...(Git r dun, mate)...lol.

In Japan, they call anyone that's a hardcore "enthusiast" an OTAKU, coined for this middle-aged guy who went postal and killed someone. When the bronze showed up to his apartment, it was filled with anime/Japanimation stuff. Otaku was his last name, and the media caught it and ran with it, labelling him a "maniac" and the term stuck for anime fans.

Just like Trekkers/Trekkies, or as someone on here so elloquently called another, a Star Wars "Geek"...

I've always liked all things transportation though...grew up around semi's/road trains. And here I thought the post "MOVIN ON" was about that trucker show in the 70's about Sunny Pruett in his green and white Kenworth...

Damn! Why do I know that line?? I know I've heard it before but all that's springing to mind right now is the scene in Monty Python when that old guy is being thrown onto the "bring out yer dead cart" Aww go on take him, he's almost dead... I feel much better I think I'll go for a walk.. shaddap you're not fooling anyone y'know. Know the scene froom Holy Grail?

So help put someone out of his misery and tell me where that line above comes from. It'll bug me till I know.

"Otaku" So I shouldn't go and say that to any Japanese tourists that I might see loaded down with their assorted cameras then? Easy to see how a name can be used to describe certain elements of society. Media has a lot to answer for.

Thanks for the understanding about anorak. I too can appreciate any vehicle so long as it looks good or at least has a 'kin huge engine. I was once shown around a motor pool on a US post in Germany just on the eve of the first gulf war, back in Dec '91. Fascinating stuff seeing a Howitzer self propelled gun with it's huge multi litre engine. Gorgeous!

Rotary engines just make me go cross eyed. Wankel engines make me snigger at that silly name.

Actually if you call a Japanese person an Eskimo, it's worse than Otaku...it means "eater of raw flesh" and that's HIGHLY offensive. Just like Osaka is a region that like the "South" in the US, is considered hillbilly or BOGAN is Down Under...

The quote is a combo of the the scene with the cart AND the scene with the Black Knight. My trip would have ended at Castle Anthrax...lol.

Learn something new every day...eh, eh 'ate?

But anyway...let's find a way to keep Tom on here...

so did i dude, i used to do it all the time in highschool n' sh*t with movies i loved, especially before i started buying movies and had to take rentals back the next day - i could just listen to them, and it would tide me over till i rented it next.

Its actually pretty common, i hear more and more people - especially on this website do it. Its dangerous listening to the MAX's while driving though, gets ya revved up and driving a little faster
