Better bowling through listening

bowling subliminal

Bowling cassette

I found this cassette in a pile of freebies in my building's laundry room. I haven't listened to it yet, but the affirmation list looks amazing.

You can't really make out the text on the cassette in this picture, but it reads, "Play for one hour per day for at least 30 days, and thereafter as needed, for best results."

The copyright is dated 1984 by a company called Mind Communication, Inc. in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Any G-Rad folks know if this company is still around? The address on the tape, "945 Burton S.W.," doesn't seem to exist. 945 Burton St SE does, but it looks like a residential area.

I need to find a cassette player, then I'll try listening to the tape and see if my bowling improves.

Also found in the pile of cassettes was "Star Trek: Sound Effects from Original TV Soundtrack."

One thing I love about this is that if you remove "I love bowling" and "Angle to the pocket" from the affirmations, this could really be a tape about anything.

Don't you have a tape player in your car?

oh man, i will totally look into this!

945 burton SE is near around wear i grew up... and there is a place it could feasibly be right around there... a little busininess strip.. but it would be so weird for them to mess that up. SW is way more commericial/residential combined so its pretty feasible too.

i'll see what i can find!

wasn't The Dude listening to something like this when Maude sent her henchmen for his coital prowess?

I wish I could use "coital prowess" in a sentence, or at the very least had some.

It's weird that Google Maps couldn't find 945 Burton SW. Let me know if you find anything.

That would make a great mixtape tape. It would be extra special, because to record your music, you would have to destroy this crazy artifact.

Also: sad I missed you yesterday. We were at the movies. (capote).

You know, many doo-dads and links on your blog boggle my mind. Advanced curtputations.
