Peepshows

The peepshow clips tend to have some awful-and I am guessing public domain-tunes playing. Because they had no original sound and unspooled for 25 cents per...maybe a minute at best. Then into the 80s it was a video arcade, and in each booth you had 2-count them TWO-channel choices. However one of them was frequently in the process of rewinding, nothing suspicious about THAT. For a while I could use these plastic coins from little 'teach your k**s the value of a dollar' sets that couldn't have been more than $1. I have no idea why a lightweight plastic coin worked, but it did. For a while.

Then there were booths with lots of channels, or you could preview a video. For a while in the mid-aughts when Betamax was laughing at VHS and saying 'Now YOU are obsolete' I would buy DVDs for $3 although there was usually no returns. Like when one of them had a label on each side. Thanks a lot. Sometimes they could be resold (eeewwww I hear you saying) and once I was told they wouldn't take one because the hole was too big. I burst out laughing but the clerk seemed annoyed like 'What the fuck is your problem?' Then another clerk who WAS laughing came over and I told him 'That was such a good line I am going to donate this porn DVD to those who are more needy than me during this holiday season.'

With that in mind I will wish you Merry Fucking Christmas and a Sticky New Year.
