VHS Tape #31: Turkey Tape


"It's Right In Front of Your Face" is also written on the outside of the VHS tape

The name of this tape is inspired by a guy I used to work with named Little John. He was really rude to customers. He always referred to them as "turkeys." And when people would ask stupid questions, such as "where are the Doritos?" when they were standing right in front of the Doritos, he would say: "it's right in front of your face."

Oddly, this isn't the first tape that has been named after John. John Tape (10) is also named after him. There is also actual footage of him on tapes 2 and 3, when the gas station was robbed while he was working. He is dead now, but his legacy will live forever through these tapes.

Anyway, certain events on this tape date it as being recorded around January of 2006.
