VHS Tape #10: John Tape



It has been a while since I've posted the contents of one of my VHS tapes. A little over three years, in fact. This is VHS tape #10. If you don't know what that means, I posted links to past VHS tape contents at the bottom of this blog entry.

This tape is from 2004. I was working at a gas station and I was obsessed with this cranky little old man who used to work there, who people referred to as Little John. I liked him so much I named this tape after him. The sub title for the tape is: "Box or soft? Eh? All these darn twenties.... bag?" Those were all his famous catchphrases when ringing people up, although it is disappointing that I didn't think to put his famous "Q!!!" (for thank you) on the label. Okay, off we go!

Motormouth on VH1. This is a show where hidden cameras record people singing in their cars. I totally forgot about this show!
