It depends on whether I'm in a "puppy mood" or a "Mr Orange mood".

It's all about the timing, but neither matter.

all your cases are belonging to us.

I place the case next to me so it can watch what it just gave birth to. Its very sexy.

Gojira69 07-26-05 09:21 PM

I always close my dear cases when others are around. When we are alone, then and only then, I open up my cases.

I close it and put the case on my Now Playing stand.

That is downright hilarious!!!

There is no case...

Dillemas like this are one of the main reasons I stick to videotapes... and Jack Daniels.

NO! I always close the case whenever I remove a DVD, because if left opened, that will allow household dust, and other small particles to settle inside, and it may magnetise onto the disc when inserted.

There's no such thing as stupid questions only stupid threads.

I break the case and throw it away. Then I get out a new case from my supply and put the DVD in that.

It just seems wrong to reuse a case. Besides, Penn & Teller said I shouldn't recycle.

What's funny about this thread is that some of the real answers (especially using a "now playing" stand) are as lame as the made-up ones. Had I not seen pictures of those stands in the HT forum, I would have thought their mention here was a joke as well.

mzupeman2 07-27-05 09:32 AM

Agreed illennium.

I close my DVD cases as I'm watching something, or when a DVD is inside. There's no excuse to not close your cases as long as you want to take care of your DVD's. I mean, you spend money for a DVD, take care of it. Otherwise you may as well just rent the damn things, where you can be happy knowing you're sharing DVD's amongst a bunch of other slobs who returns discs with scratches and scuffs on a regular basis.

I know. That's what I was saying earlier. To expand on what I was saying is that shouldn't the people who are watching the movie *know* WHAT their watching? Why do you need the case in a display stand to remind yourself of what you're watching? Like I said, their like street signs for the Academy for the Blind.

Quite frankly, I think the *only* use for them is for dopes on DVD forums to take pictures of to post in HT threads to show people what's in their DVD player in order to impress folks. As if anybody else would care.

no one cares after all the effort I put into that? :(

Mad magazine had the "snappy answers to stupid questions".
Yes, love that Al Jaffee. Another great volume is -- "MAD'S Al Jaffee Spews Out STILL MORE Snappy Answers To Stupid Questions". :)

"Is the coffee hot?"

"No, but this BRANDING IRON I just stuck in my mouth sure is!"

(Man in barber chair awaits service....)

BARBER -- "Would you like me to cut your hair now?"

MAN -- "No, I want you to just bend each hair back & forth until each one breaks off!"
