Alright, alright, lemme tell ya ’bout this… this… zzz nostalgic girl, or whatever they call her. I ain’t too good with these fancy names, ya know. But this girl, she’s somethin’ else. Always wantin’ old stuff, like them dusty old tapes.
So, this girl, she comes in, right? And she’s lookin’ for somethin’ special. Not just any old tape, mind you. She wants somethin’ “retro.” Says it gotta be real old, the older the better, she says. Real picky, this one. Reminds me of my old Bessie, always fussin’ over the eggs, makin’ sure they was just right.
Anyways, she’s got this request, see? And it ain’t easy. You can’t just give her anythin’ old. Nope. It gotta be a certain kinda old. Like that “Return to Giallo City” tape. That’s the one she wants. Don’t ask me why. Probably some old-timey story ’bout folks runnin’ around, doin’ who-knows-what.
Now, you might think, “Oh, any old retro tape will do.” But you’d be wrong. Dead wrong. This girl, she knows her stuff. She ain’t gonna be fooled by no newfangled junk pretendin’ to be old. You give her the wrong tape, and she’ll let ya have it. She’ll yell and scream and make a big fuss. Just like my old rooster, Clucky, when he didn’t get his corn.
- She wants “Return to Giallo City”
- It gotta be real “Retro”
- No fakes!
So, how do you find this tape? Well, that’s the tricky part. You gotta look around, ask around. Maybe dig through them old boxes in the back. You know, the ones with the spiderwebs and the dust as thick as your thumb? Yeah, those ones. That’s where the good stuff is hidin’. Just like my grandma used to hide the cookies from us kids.
And when you find it, you gotta be careful. Don’t go scratchin’ it up or nothin’. This girl, she’ll notice. She’ll see every little scratch, every little dent. And she won’t be happy. She’ll probably make you go find another one. And ain’t nobody got time for that.
This whole thing reminds me of tryin’ to find the right kinda feed for my pigs. They got their preferences, just like this girl. You give ’em the wrong stuff, and they won’t eat it. Simple as that. So, you gotta learn what they like, what they want. And you gotta give it to ’em. Otherwise, you ain’t gonna get nowhere.
It’s the same with this girl. You gotta give her what she wants. And what she wants is that “Return to Giallo City” tape. Nothin’ else will do. So, go find it. And be quick about it. ‘Cause she ain’t gonna wait forever. And when she gets what she wants, maybe, just maybe, she’ll leave ya alone for a while. At least until she wants somethin’ else old and dusty.
This whole video store thing, it’s a puzzle, I tell ya. Like tryin’ to figure out why the hens stop layin’ eggs. Sometimes it’s the weather, sometimes it’s the feed, sometimes it’s just ’cause they’re stubborn. Just like this girl.
But you know what? That’s what makes it interestin’. Keeps ya on your toes. Gives ya somethin’ to do. And when you finally find that tape, when you see that smile on her face, well, it’s kinda worth it. Kinda like when you finally get that stubborn hen to lay an egg again. You feel like you accomplished somethin’.
So, yeah, that’s the story of the zzz nostalgic girl and her tape. A whole lotta fuss over an old piece of plastic, if you ask me. But hey, who am I to judge? Folks got their quirks, their hobbies, their things they like. And if this girl likes old tapes, well, that’s her business. Just as long as she don’t expect me to watch ’em with her. I got better things to do, like feedin’ the chickens and milkin’ the cow.
