Disk players that can contain and play up to four hundred DVDs or blu-ray discs in row? Can you say "overkill"?
I can't figure out what they are for, really.
I love movies and good TV shows, but with my attention span, I watch half an hour at most, then I have to go check my email, or make coffee, or do one of my ten-kilometer runs or 100 push-ups, or write the next chapter in the Great Danish Novel (I do think mine will be the first. I have a race with my old friend Glenn Kromann. Granted, he got published first, but given that I've been working on mine for fifteen years, it will clearly be much better). Or sometimes just wee or make a peanutbutter/banana sandwich.
But my point is, that if you are so lazy that getting up every two hours to change disc is a chore, then some deep introspection may be in order.

See, the 100 disc CD carousels made more sense, almost all your CD collection in a machine that could shuffle play them at random, or you could preselect a sequence and play that.
As for with movies? Ever have one of those days where you set up 6 discs and just watch your favourite scenes from a them.
400 is overkill, unless for nightclub usage, or for commercials to play in mall/airport situation.
The carousel occupies less physical space than 400 discs in their original packaging.
Plus, not getting up every two hours to change a disc gives me more time for deep introspection.
The space thing I'll give you, I have shelf space problems. But could I bear to just throw out all that original packaging?
... or make a peanutbutter/banana sandwich.
Interesting. I never thought of that combination.
It's delicious.
If you want to get really decadent, add a little honey.
(Not so copious comments from you recently, friend?)

I hope you're joking about that! People who go for ten-mile runs should be locked up in a mental hospital! ;-)
Interesting. I never thought of that combination.
I think Elvis liked those, except he deepfried them.
It's my new art form: leaving to educated guesses when I'm joking and when I'm not. The level of difficulty varies.
But you're right. My most vigorous exercise comes when my remote control falls to the floor.
I got the ingredients and am now evaluating the recipe. It doesn't insult the taste buds, that I can say already at this point.

Well, my alter egos Justin Case and Hugh Jarse have made contributions here in relative recency. Do not, however, confuse the latter with the impostor Hugh Jass who is someone else's alter ego -- probably TC Girl's or Dr. Pascal's. Confused? You won't be, after this week's episode of...Soap!
I'm confused after every episode, no matter what they said.
What determines which moniker you use then?
1) I was going to propose the honey extension. My son likes that. Adding grape jelly (jam with no solids, not Quivers) is how others do it.
2) I prefer a toasted banana sandwich. Use a George Forman grill, or Breville. Butter and sugar the outisde of the sandwich. Add sliced banana to taste inside. Cook until golden, and lightly caramelized.
3) Only just talking about Richard Mulligan/Soap two days ago. Small world. Our conversation started with "Reggie", the US remake of "The Fall and Rise or Reginald Perrin", and that awful one about the dentist.
4) erm, forgot. I'm not Mr Jarse though.
Hugh Jarse
The less-funny second-cousin of Hugh Jass?
What determines which moniker you use then?
Hugh Jarse is only interested in discussing matters related to body weight. And Justin Case is a hedging-one's-bets kind of guy.
Well done.
