And filled out index cards (INDEX CARDS!) containing the names of the episodes that were on specific videotapes and stuck them on. And looked up the proper title names on the internet. So I'm a dork AND I have OCD. I taped every. episode. of the X-Files.

My hubby and I had some new friends over this weekend. I was proudly then the details of this glorious competiton, when I was told this funny story. My friend Jon told me that he when he was in the military he and his fellow soldiers got thier work done as quickly as possible to make sure they were able to watch the Golden Girls. What branch you ask? He was a Marine. I also found two more dorky films for fun. I do hesitate to mention this one becasue it is one of the worst movies ever made, but I LOVE IT!!! Battlefield Earth The second one is Office Killer. I highly recommend it. It is hard to find, but it is the best Molly Ringwald movie ever made. Happy dorking everyone!

This may be the only time I'll compete in an "organized sport" ;) ~ A Very Brady Christmas - VHS ~ Labyrinth - VHS (you haven't really lived dorkily unless you've watched David Bowie in all his masculine tight glory ;) ~ Pop Up Video - the 80's - on VHS ~ A Pocket for Corduroy (kids movie) ~ The Parent Trap - the original - VHS ~ That Darn Cat! - the original - VHS ~ Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey - VHS ~ Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi - on VHS and DVD! ~ Several individual episodes of Star Trek:The Next Generation - each on its own VHS tape - purchased, not recorded ~ Several Peanuts/Snoopy videos - not just the basics (Christmas, Halloween, etc) but also including "You're in the Super Bowl, Charlie Brown!" - I collect Snoopy/Peanuts memorbilia ~ Seasons 1-3 of Facts of Life ~ Seasons 1-2 of Wings ~ Seasons 1-2 of Full House ~ Seasons 1-2 of Profiler ~ Seasons 1-2 of The O.C. ~ Food Network DVD "Cooking from the Grill" - came as a gift with some kitchen purchase ~ KitchenAid Standmixer DVD and, my personal favorite, the tour documentary aired on MTV in 1984 of Duran Duran and their tour - "Blue Silver" - taped from MTV itself with commercials. My dad had to rig the VCR up special to tape it - back in the "olden days" of tv's only going up so high on the channel list, and cable boxes, and VCRs being fairly limited. But what is dorkier - that I have that or that I have the DVD version on my Amazon wishlist?!? Of course, many more things that were already mentioned by others but I've talked enough ;) I couldn’t resist this contest – hope I’m not too late! This may be the only time I’ll compete in an “organized sport” ;)
