No, but I do unspool the entire roll of toilet paper so I don't have to be bothered later when nature calls.

I'm thinking of doing this with "Aliens" simply because i love the movie and don't want to unfold the Quad pack everytime, not to mention it is hard to get to in my collection.
Yes I do. Also when my car gets dirty I just get rid of it and buy a new one , because new cars always come clean.

I thought I was the only one. I also buy new socks sometimes rather than bother to wash the dirty ones.

You could do like me and buy two sets: one to watch and one to look at. That way you don't weaken the creases in the cardboard each and every time you remove the discs from their shrine. Sure it costs more, but you'll get a much better night's sleep knowing that the other box is undamaged.

Sometimes I buy a new disk if my old one looks at me funny.

what's with these ridiculous posts lately? you started that other thread about no toilet scenes in Star Wars movies. these are questions that you can ponder about and not start threads over.

it's hard enough trying to follow all the info in this forum, the last thing i need to deal with is pointless threads that are frivilous/whimsical in thought. sorry, i'm having a bad day.

Why hire a butler when you can hire a french maid instead?

I agree...I seem to plenty of time to watch TV, and I still can't keep up with all the new stuff. Especially when you start adding in TV seasons.
