Sigh. It turns out the other VCR did bite the dust in the power surge, but in a non-obvious way: it has signal, it has all its usual programmability... it has everything except the ability to actually move a tape. So I guess I'll be dubbing Twilight Zone off of the Enterprise tape each week, because I'm anal about keeping my tapes sorted.

On the bright side, I figured out how to dub tapes tonight. And on another bright side, I'm not sure the dubbed tape will be of lower quality than what the old VCR would have produced. (Seeing the end of last season's Enterprise while cuing up the tape for tonight made it really obvious that the old tapes don't look so great on the new TV.)

Well, I did put the arc comment in "B5-fanboy" style (which, for some reason, LJ doesen't understand how to interpret. :-)

Ooh, now you've got me thinking about the pirate-talk/Yiddish interface... scary!

Gevalt, me mateys! All hands on deck, or it's to David Jonah's locker with ye! Oy!

I was thinking of writing a "pirate-talk" filter, much like the canonical "valley girl" and "swedish chef" ones, but never got beyond the "this would be useful" stage.

You mean you got to "this would be useful"? Oh dear... :-)

Chag sameach!
