Within the last 6 weeks or so, I was told that we have received a windfall of about a kabillion used DVDs from a video store that has gone out of business here in town.
Isn't that nice? [thank you, Church Lady]
Well, yes, in theory. We have boxes of DVDs in varying states:
Sets without all the discsWhat we don't have is a system, or any p0rn0s. The owner threw that all in the dumpster. [Hey, it was weeks ago: they're long gone. I'm wouldn't be surprised if someone at Waste Management scored a huge coup with them, though.] Anyway. We're trying to figure out what the hell we've got here. I've cataloged about 60 of those in nice cases that look the least damaged. The hell that awaits me is enormous. Finding matches for those discs that have no cases is turning into a living nightmare (thank God for V--though even she is starting to complain about how hard it is to match anything when there's nothing to go on but the title...even the codes around the hole in the disc are covered up by a label!).
Sets with all the discs
DVDs in their orginal cases, unopened
DVDs in their orginal cases, opened and used (and abused)
DVDs in their orginal cases, opened and used (but not, apparently, abused)
DVDs in their orginal cases...except voilà there's no disc
DVDs in blank blue cases with the original cover displayed
DVDs in blank blue cases with part of the original cover displayed
DVDs in blank blue cases with none the original cover to be found
Empty blank cases with labels that may match some of the unopened DVDs
DVDs we own
DVDs we don't own
Lots and lots and LOTS of horror movies
Stickers all over everything, just like a library!
And there are so MANY bad horror movies! I'm actually setting aside some to check in IMdB or Rotten Tomatoes.
This is a case of looking a gift horse in the mouth. And not liking what those teeth are telling me.....
