Hack your VCR for useful tools!!!

If you are like me and just about everyone alive today, you have an old VCR sitting around the house.
Well, if you only knew how useful these old VCR's can be! I didnt until I watched this!
Now all of us can have our own GPS tracking system and more!

NOTE: For those of you who are ready to flame me, this is all in fun

crap, i hit reply too fast
cause i cant stop laughing
thanks, i was supposed to
be thinking of dreaming
now i am awake and off
to see if i have a VCR
maybe the neighbor does...

Im telling you! Im tearing mine apart as we speak!

Wow...Cool...I have at least 4 old VCR's around here....I could open an ipod store.

That was very funny...we need a good laugh right about now..thanks.

Peace

I agree, sometimes you just have to laugh a little.

Laughter, the best medicine, no?

In this day and age, where everyone seems to be worried about destruction and the economy, it's nice to see someone has still retained their sense of humor.
Which by the way is a very important survival tool, I might add.
Thank you for a good laugh.

You are very welcome, and dont forget to salvage your VCR!

Pretty funny

But really, who wants an Ipod?

I think I might go to the local thrift store or Salvation army and pick up a few extra VCR's.
What could they cost? $10 a pop.
I could sell the I-pods for $50 a piece and make a killing.
I might go and get an EEE PC with the money I make.
But ya know I heard a rumor that my toaster might just have one of them in it.
You think I should stick my favorite butter knife in there to find out?

Guys i tried this. I did'nt have marshmellows so i substituted circus peanuts. Needless to say it did'nt work. Can someone try it with marshmellows and re-post?

Nobody likes circus peanuts!!!! eww

Except my gramma.

Here I thought I was going to find out something cool and be able to come away with the image of that hot woman in your avatar ripping appart a VCR (which would be the coolest thing ever).

If there was ever that kind of stuff in a VCR, I would have an army of those little creatures and be richer then Bill G. by now. I just wonder what device I have to open to find Kay-em from Jason X.

Old VCR's and CD players are good for spare electronic components.
That you cant buy in the shop and can only buy from China.

As long as you have plenty of marshmallows, you can get them all.

Too funny!! Thanks for the laugh!!

My dad still has a first generation Sony Betamax in the basement (Top load, woodgrain cabinet, corded remote) I wonder what I will find in there!! I hope those Fritos that I shoved in there as a kid are still fresh.

What can you say ATS needs a comic channel?
Fantastic stuff loved it

lolz, thanks. I needed a good laugh before the markets open.

It's great to be able to laugh even in times like these.

Thanks!

The VCR monster is having relations with my cat, I am going to sue you for psychological damage to Tiddles.

Posting possibly dangerous videos like this is very irresponsible.

Maybe we should petition them for one, winks.
We cant just fill ourselves with gloom and doom constantly.

Man my VCR was quite old. No touch on IPOD . The creature ran out the door. Be cautious people.
