Shipping costs still are cheaper than paying tax at a store. Also factor in the gas it takes to get to the store and back.

Unless you have to pay for both tax AND shipping (Tigerdirect, cough )

Don't buy from there, then.

Target, Wal-Mart, Circuit City, Best Buy, Online.

Pretty much at every store that sells that kind of stuff still sells VHS tapes. I'm not sure why you can't find them, they are still widely available. 

Hmm, let's see... Target, Wal-Mart, Circuit City, Best Buy, Online.

Out of those Wal-Mart is really my only choice, and I went there today and they had none. We have no Target, Circuit City, or Best Buy in town, and I'm not that keen about buying stuff online just because the hassle of it.

Walgreens?  Virtually any retail store I can think of..I buy packs at a time

As you might be able to tell, my town is extremely boring.

I think "Screwed Up" would be the better way to put it.

That's stupid. People SHOULD be allowed to swear on live TV. Parental Controls are insane these days. Punishing everyone because of stupid kids.

VERY RARELY do things get damaged if bought from professional outfits such as Amazon or Buy.com. And rarely does anything go wrong either. My dad LOVES buying things on the net, and he's never had a problem.

And shipping costs are usually free if you spend over $20 or something. Shipping costs still are cheaper than paying tax at a store. Also factor in the gas it takes to get to the store and back.

In general, buying over the net is more economical and cheaper than buying it at a store.

That's kind of like our weather.  It's pissing me off, I want some warmth here already!

I can agree with that. A few weeks ago, it got past 80. Ever since, it's never gotten above 65.

Kramer certainly had his hilarious moments.

The show itself had a different sense of humor. If no one found it funny, it never would've lasted 9 seasons.

I loved how Jerry always had a Mac on his desk. I can think of at least 4 different models through the years.
