Okay, I thought in my moment of glory, I can do this freewrite. Look at I've got a bunch of grandpa's old records sitting over there - under the dust - I think. Ah, maybe I need to go check. No, I'm not sure what they are. They seem to be just a bunch of old crunched cereal boxes. I'd heard you can get music out of these things. I turned it around and this big black plastic thing fell out.
I'd better record this, he shouted. I'll bet this is like some archeological site with strange things from the past. I recorded the picture on the front: some picture of an army band for the Sergeant Pepper militia. Damn, but they dressed weird. I took the black thing over to my dusty CD player and figured out really quick it did not go anywhere in there. Not that I didn't try.
I put it up to my ear - no sound. I got out my headphone jack and put it in the hole in the middle. No sound.
I recorded, "I discovered why old people are so crazy. That just sat around looking at pictures with headphones plugged into black discs." I tried it for an hour or two and actually discovered it to be quite satisfying.
"I'm going to put this on YouTube!" I declared. I think I did, but with my huge headphones on - I'm really not sure.
Records - Bah!
